    Expert Answer
    If your dog is nervous about blow drying, start with his/her hind and back legs first, then work your way to the front of your dog using low force on the dryer.

  • Question
    My mom cut my black standard poodle's hair and she did a bad job, how do I get the hair to grow back?
    Community Answer
    I suggest taking her to a groomer and having them trim the hair to make it look even. If that isn't an option, then invest in a sweater or harness for her to wear around the house if her appearance really bothers you.

    What size guard do you recommend I use on the clippers?
    Community Answer
    I use the 5/8" guard on my Andis clippers. I have a German shepherd/poodle mix with very thick fur.

  • Question
    How can I remove tangled eye boogers?
    Community Answer
    Gently rub at the affected area with a napkin moistened with warm water. It may take a while, but the moisture and gentle rubbing will pull this out.
