Nail maintenance is also an essential part of it! You can&#8217;t trim a dog&#8217;s nails without the proper tools. So, you&#8217;ll need a good pair of basic <a href=\"\/2019\/12\/7-best-dog-grooming-equipment-for-first-time-dog-owners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nail clippers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Medium-sized nail clippers work well for most dogs. But for really big breeds with thick nails, a large-sized pair would work better. You&#8217;ll also want to invest in a nail grinder. Nail grinders will smooth out the nails after they&#8217;ve been clipped. Not to mention, they&#8217;ll get you a bit closer to the quick <em>without<\/em> cutting it and making the dog bleed.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to nail maintenance, styptic powder is another essential dog grooming must-have. If you accidently clip a dog\u2019s nail too far and expose the quick, you can put some styptic powder on it to make the bleeding stop.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>4.

There are a few different kinds, but the best ones for a beginner would be a pair of 5-in-1 clippers.<\/p>\n<p>These clippers have an adjustable blade. Another perk is that they don&#8217;t tend to get hot as quickly as detachable blade clippers do! Since they&#8217;re not very expensive, this staple tool is also affordable for any budget. They make the perfect addition to your dog grooming kit when just starting out!<\/p>\n<p>5-in-1 clippers are perfect for trimming faces, feet, ears, and paw pads. You can even use them for light bodywork on pretty much any dog. They&#8217;re a lot quieter and don\u2019t vibrate as much as detachable blade clippers do.

Shears<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]The last dog grooming must-have for all beginners is a good set of <a href=\"\/2019\/11\/additional-dog-grooming-school-costs-dog-grooming-equipment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shears<\/a>! Shears are also known as grooming scissors. Scissor work will complete every groom you do &#8211; and you can\u2019t accomplish that without a good set a grooming shears.<\/p>\n<p>There are quite a few kinds of shears, coming in all different lengths and styles. It can prove to be a difficult choice when selecting a pair to start out with. But don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;m here to help! Here are 3 types of shears I recommend for all brand-new dog groomers:[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>#1 &#8211; Straight Shears<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]You&#8217;ll want to start by investing in is a good pair straight shears. Straight shears are used for creating nice, straight lines on\u00a0<em>any<\/em> breed of dog. They&#8217;re the standard pair of shears used for every groom![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>#2 &#8211; Curved Shears<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]The second kind you\u2019ll want to get is a good quality pair of curved shears. Curved shears are perfect for cutting rounded edges on topknots, legs, and tails. They are\u00a0<em>definitely<\/em> a must-have, especially if you\u2019re <a href=\"\/2021\/01\/how-to-groom-a-poodle-a-crash-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">working with Poodles<\/a> and\/or Poodle mixes on a regular basis![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>#3 &#8211; Thinning Shears<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]The last kind you\u2019ll want to get are a pair of thinning shears. Thinning shears have toothed blades. As a result, they only take off a fraction of the hair when you cut it. Thinning shears create a smoother look and they&#8217;re great for blending hair.<\/p>\n<p>If you mess up when using straight or curved shears, you can use you pair of thinning shears to blend and hide the faulty cut. Plus, they&#8217;re great for working on <a href=\"\/2020\/12\/all-about-double-coats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">double coated breeds<\/a>.
