Tips for Grooming a Pet Lhasa Apso?

[laurendoodler]

Well, she's coming tomorrow now instead of coming today; she had a scheduling conflict.

I already know what to ask, it's just usually they say "Oh just clean him up and make him look good." lol. Not helpful xD So I was just asking for some suggestions.

This is what I did to him last time.

Gave him a round face, trimmed him up around his belly and legs, trimmed feet..

My favorite statement to ever come out of the mouth of my clients! I interpret that as "do what you want! Have Fun!" I just do what I want on these dogs until they tell me different. I tend to groom pet Lhasa's quite similar to Shih's. I don't know if you ever read the book "Theory of 5" by M. Verplank? If not, I highly suggest to get it. It simplifies grooming so much. Breaks down the body styles to a T. It really helped me when I was starting out, anyways...lol Good job on the groom, btw. Look like you just have to work on a little bit of finishing touches. And that comes with time

Thanks, doggydivas!! I gave a dog a blue mohawk last time I got told "do what you want"...LOL. But they were family friends and I knew they'd like it!

I have not seen that book, but I will look into it! I have her other book..the Notes from the Grooming Table one.

Nice.. very nice! I see I'm missing getting angulation on the legs and the beveling on the feet. Something to work on .
