Grooming pictures

     I love to groom my BRT’s. Would like to share with you how I do it.
Be creative and do not be afraid to try. With time you will do it better and better. Also you have to learn how to hold the scissors right and not dig into the coat when you will start grooming.
      Try to use full length of the blade and not pinch dogs coat with the tip of your scissors. Keep your arm straight and always finish one line before you start another.
***Before grooming, wash your dog. Dry dog coat with hairdryer brushing all hair up.

My way of grooming BRT is - shaving back legs, neck and ears first. Wash the dog. Dry and brushed dog on a table.
Time for scissors.


Loki came for grooming. A lot of coat and undercoat to
remove. Please remember, the dog has to change
undercoat 2 times a year. Use the right tool to remove it.


Dog loves to sit?! Ok. Start grooming from the lower back,
from tail up to middle of back while dog is sitting.


This is how the back should look like when we are done.
No more sitting. Dog has to stay now.

 This is how the back of your dog should look when
 you are done. Make lines nice and smooth. Do not
 cut too much. Leave longer coat to fix mistakes if  necessary.


When back legs are trimmed and brushed you will see
what you have to cut. Walk around to see what has to
be removed.


Keep scissors straight and try to use full length of blade.
Do not pinch coat with end of the scissors tips.


Remember to change angle while you are moving from
the top to side and under. Don't make your dog look flat.


To trim legs you have to stay behind. That way will be
easy to cut hair on both legs and make it look
symmetrical


Cut hair around each paw. Have to see tips of dog nails.


Loki is groomed. I have videos and photos how to groom neck,
head, shoulders and chest , look them UP and also on
"Grooming BRT" page


Dog is ready but next day I will find something to fix
and touch up. To keep coat looking healthy and shiny
use LEAVE-ON conditioner. It will help keep the coat
clean and nice longer.


Between grooming I prefer to let dog go outside for
5-10 min to see what I have to fix and how much I
have tocut back on the grooming table.
