Let's face it. In the pet world, Miniature Schnauzers just don't get handstripped. The majority of dogs that we see in our salons are clipper cut. In this lesson, award winning pet stylist, Lindsey Dicken shows you how to retain the proper essence of the Miniature Schnauzer using pet grooming techniques.
She starts by setting the body pattern with a short clipper blade. She uses muscles and bone structure to set the pattern.
Lindsey shows you how to get your pattern
lines to flow seamlessly into the furnishings. Next, she moves into the longer furnishings on the legs and underbody of the dog. Lindsey shows you plenty of great shortcuts to make trimming the longer coat a snap. The head on the Miniature Schnauzer is the crowning glory. Almost half of this video deals with correctly styling the head including: how to safely clipper the ears, how to set the pattern lines to get the classic brick shape, and how to trim the eyebrows.
Throughout the entire lesson, Lindsey gives you great time-saving tips and tricks. She shares with you what tools she likes to use and what products help her get the job done.
