Scissors are great for touching up and trimming hair around your dog’s legs, ears, and face. Use only the tips of the scissors to trim these areas so that you can pull them away quickly if your dog makes any sudden movements.

Hold your dog’s ears down when cutting around them to keep them away from the blades of the scissors. It’s especially important to have someone to help hold your dog down when using scissors to groom him. This will minimise the risk of accidents.
