In this video, I walk you through my personal “go-to” pet trim—the one I lean on when I want a comfortable, practical haircut that works on a ton of different dogs. I’m showing you how to think like a groomer: pick one of the most common blade + guard comb options pros use every day, then follow a repeatable workflow so you’re not guessing what to do next. If you’ve ever stood at your table thinking, “What steps do I follow?” or “What’s the typical tool setup for a nice, wearable trim?” this is the foundation I want you to have. I also point you to the exact references I use to keep people consistent: my free “11 Steps to Groom Any Dog” printable and my Table-Side Cheat Sheet (print it and laminate it—seriously, it helps). And because I’m all about making grooming easier at home, I share links for the everyday tools and basics I trust—brushes, combs, detangling spray, dilution bottles, facial wash, and ear cleaner—plus shopping through my Groomer’s Choice link where the best deal is automatically applied. The goal is simple: a clean, safe, repeatable trim you can apply to almost any dog.
