We took Pebbles once to the groomer, shortly after we got her at one year... and not only did we not like the cut- she was so upset by being separated and the noise of the dryers- that I just started cutting her myself.
I use a thinning type shear on her face and beard area, and just regular sissors everywhere else.
For her paw pads i use a battery opperated clippers- they are quieter than the electric ones and dont scare her as much.
Just be careful around the eyes and mouth. a few weeks ago, after many times of cutting her with no mishaps - she decided to give me a kiss while i was trimming. I felt soo bad i got her tongue! IF it ever happens to anyone, i found just give them an ice cube. it helps to clot the cut as long as its small.
