First, design a suitable shape based on the characteristics of the Shih Tzu dog. Then calm the dog's mood so that it can stand quietly on the grooming table, and then officially start the grooming work.

When grooming, first separate the coat of the dog's body from the midline of the back to both sides, and apply an appropriate amount of grease 3 cm to the left and right of the backline to prevent the coat from breaking. In order to prevent the hair on the abdomen from getting tangled and make it easier to walk, you can cut off about 1 cm of the hair under the abdomen with scissors. In order to make the raised tail look better, a 0.5 cm wide coat can be cut off at the base of the tail. The excess hair around the feet should be cut off as much as possible.

The hair of Shih Tzu dogs is relatively fragile, and the hair breaks and falls off easily. Moreover, the hair all over its body is very slender, and the long hair on its head and face can easily cover its eyes, seriously affecting its sight. Therefore, when styling, you can tie up the long hair on the head to prevent the hair from breaking and at the same time show the cuteness and dexterity of the Shih Tzu.

Of course, you also need to pay attention when tying the hair of your Shih Tzu. First use a comb to separate the long hair on the bridge of the nose to both sides along the midline, and then comb the hair from the bridge of the nose to the corners of the eyes into upper and lower parts, starting from the corners of the eyes. From the back of the head, separate the hair in a semicircle up and down. The owner holds the long hair from the eyes to the top of the head with his left hand, and combs the hair backwards with a fine-meshed comb. This can make the hair fluffy, tighten the hair on the top of the head, and tie it. Put on a rubber band and tie a small bow. If the owner is creative enough, the long hair on the head can be divided into two knots on the left and right sides, or braided into two braids. Of course, you can also style the Shih Tzu according to the owner’s aesthetics.
