Inexpensive Shih Tzu (Shih Tzu) haircut at home in Moscow

Hygienic haircut

When hygienic cutting, pay attention to the length of the coat, treat the paws, groin, tail and belly.

Attention! The main difficulty in hygienic treatment of small dogs is cutting the hair around the nose and eyes. This is necessary, but you need to work as carefully as possible so as not to harm the animal.

In addition, it is important to consider the needs of the breed. Animals need eyebrows and whiskers to navigate in space and perceive other signals. The dog is an apartment dog, so we must not forget about the claws - the overgrown ones take on a spiral shape and affect the gait and health of the pet.

Exhibition haircut

This type of haircut is best left to a professional. Any inaccuracy will affect the opinion of the judges, and subsequently the entire career of the pet. The main purpose of the procedure is to create an advantageous image that will highlight the advantages of the breed and a particular dog.

They start with mandatory hygienic treatment, trimming the fur on the face. The groomer processes the mustache, beard, and long hair on the head is styled into a ponytail. The main hairline cannot be shortened too much; the hair should flow along its entire length.

Exhibitions are often present in the life of a Shih Tzu

Shih Tzu puppy and teddy bear haircut

It is necessary to accustom your pet to such procedures from an early age, then he will get used to it faster and will be calm about trimming.

IMPORTANT! Only from the age of 5 months can you start grooming your dog's coat.

The “puppy” procedure is also called “summer” due to the closely cropped hairs and is suitable for animals that do not participate in exhibitions. The length of the fur is shortened to 2.5-5 cm throughout the pet’s body, on the paws, head and ears. You should not cut your hair shorter as this will cause irritation throughout your body. For an unusual effect, you can cut your hair in the form of a beret.

A short puppy-style haircut for your Shih Tzu makes it much easier to care for your pet and becomes its real salvation from the heat in the summer. When combing such wool, it is much easier to deal with the resulting lumps and tangles. In addition, you will be able to visit a groomer no more than once every 2-3 months. But model haircuts need to be done much more often.

Shih Tzu “teddy bear” haircuts are one of the simplest and most popular. They are characterized by a longer coat than the “summer” coat. The service involves cutting the hairs on the body to almost the same length as in the summer version, but at the same time the hair on the face and head should be left as usual. They trim the hair on the ears, but leave it a little longer on the tail. As a result, your four-legged friend resembles a cute teddy bear. The long hair remaining on the head is gathered into a beautiful knot.

Creative haircuts

A hygienic haircut for a Shih Tzu is required to maintain the health of the pet, while an exhibition haircut is required to comply with show class instructions. Creative haircut options are more fun for owners.

"Teddy bear"

Another name for the hairstyle is “bear cub”. Is one of the most popular. The hair on the body must be trimmed evenly, leaving a length of 5 cm. The head is made round in shape, with no gaps allowed. In this form, the pet resembles a plush toy.

Like a puppy

The Shih Tzu puppy haircut implies that the pet's appearance is as close as possible to that of a puppy. The hairline is made shorter than in the previous version - up to 2-3 cm in length. They leave something like a “cap” on the head. There is another method - they leave the “pants” on the paws and shorten the mustache.

Korean

This haircut is often used for girls. The image involves the use of various bright accessories and jewelry. The animals are given cuffs, the hair on the body is shortened, and a long bob is cut on the head. Elongated strands are collected into ponytails or braids, secured with hairpins, elastic bands, and Asian-style elements.

Shih Tzu haircuts for boys and girls

Exhibition standards apply when grooming dogs of both sexes. When performing model variations, you can take into account the dog’s identity and emphasize the masculinity of males or the femininity of females. For dogs there is no fundamental significance; owners may like it.

Boys are often cut in two ways - to resemble the appearance of a puppy or a teddy bear.

Attention! They try to make the image of male dogs simpler and even more serious; they do not use jewelry.

What you need for grooming at home

You can’t do without a certain set of tools when cutting hair at home. In addition, you will need special care products (including bathing), additional accessories and decorations. Everything you need is prepared in advance.

Tools and accessories

Initially it may seem that their purchase will be expensive, but with constant use they will quickly pay for themselves. To trim your dog at home you will need the following:

a machine with a rotary engine (like a trimmer) with a set of various attachments;
several scissors (for leveling the length, cutting off split ends);
a brush with hard natural bristles (needed for combing out small debris, dirt, dead wool);
comb with fine teeth to straighten hair and eliminate tangles;
tools for cutting tangles;
special nail clipper and tweezers;
hair dryer, spray bottle.

You will need several scissors. Small ones with round tips are used for cutting ears and around the eyes. Classic straight ones are for the main function, thinning ones are for thinning wool.

Special means

Before starting the procedure, it is recommended to bathe the dog. Water washes away dirt and small debris. In addition, the natural oil protection of the hair and skin is washed away. In order not to harm the pet, it is necessary to use special products - shampoos, balms.

Cosmetics are bought in veterinary stores (ordinary ones for humans, prohibited for use). The preparations make cutting and combing easier. Cotton pads and anti-parasitic products are used for the ears.

Accessories and decorations

The choice of accessories and decorations is solely at the discretion of the owner. If you plan to braid hair and make ponytails, you will need small rubber bands. The use of bows, ribbons, headbands and hairpins is allowed. Boys often wear small butterflies around their necks.

Attention! The main condition is not to harm the animal. Decorations should not only be bright, but also safe.

Do not pull tight tails or use hard elastic bands.

Home grooming rules

First of all, you need to take care of the place for cutting. Usually a table is used. It should be level, stable, and reach the groomer’s waist, so that the owner himself is in an even position. The procedure is not easy and requires a lot of time, so good lighting and comfort for both humans and dogs are important. A mat made of rubberized material is placed on the surface - the animal should not slip with its paws.

Attention! Before starting the procedure, the instruments are treated with alcohol. If a cut occurs, it is important to avoid infection.

Step-by-step description of the procedure

Before bathing, the animal is cleaned of large debris, tangles and tangles are combed out. The pet is bathed using special products, thoroughly combed, blotted with a towel, and dried with a hairdryer. The haircut pattern is as follows:

if tangles are found, moisten them with a spray bottle and try to untangle them; if that doesn’t work, use a webbing cutter;
comb out the fur with a hard-bristled brush;
using a trimmer, carefully process the hair around the nose and eyes (movements only in the direction of growth);
the body is decorated starting from the hind legs and tail, in the groin area the nozzle is removed from the machine;
on the forelimbs they work from top to bottom, removing excess;
the last stage is treatment of the neck, mouth, ears, eyebrows are slightly trimmed.

On the tail, the hair is collected into a bun and trimmed (the main thing is that it does not fall on its side). The hairs between the fingers are cut with small scissors with round ends.

The final appearance is created with thinning scissors and decorations.

Useful tips for beginners

First of all, you need to make sure that the chosen haircut option is possible. If you plan to have your pet participate in an exhibition, you should contact a professional and not conduct experiments.

It is important to begin training for haircuts from puppyhood. After the procedure, the dog is rewarded with treats to reinforce the positive emotions associated with the cosmetic procedure.

Attention! It is unacceptable to cut the hairs of eyebrows and mustaches. For small Shih Tzus, it is a way to navigate and communicate with the outside world.

How to avoid common mistakes

During the procedure, it is important not to dry out the dog’s fur and skin with a hairdryer. If the structure of the hair is damaged, then you will have to undergo a long recovery with the help of special products, vitamins and even medications. You should also comb carefully - this point is mandatory.

Choosing a location and ensuring safety (anti-slip mat, handling of tools, quiet environment) are necessary. Loud sounds and sudden movements are unacceptable. If you do not have confidence in your own strengths and skills, it is better to entrust the haircut to a professional groomer.

The grooming process should take place in comfortable conditions

Shih Tzu haircut: varieties

Several types of care are used for this breed:

Hygienic;

Standard;

Model;

Exhibition.

The first option should be carried out once or twice a month, based on how quickly the hair grows. It will give your pet a neat appearance, and will also promptly remove and prevent the formation of tangles. It includes: shortening hairs under the arms, in the groin area, near the anus, between the fingers.

The second type is suitable for dogs participating in exhibitions. However, it involves the initial implementation of a hygiene procedure, trimming hair throughout the body, eliminating split ends. After this, a standard service is carried out.

Today, owners prefer to choose model or exhibition types of procedures for their pets, as they imply the use of non-standard and creative ideas by the masters.
