Grooming the Shih Tzu is very fascinating task. Their double coated fur takes some time to get settled. If your Shih Tzu is participating in dog show, then let the hair fall on the ground and clip the hairs above the eyes and head. However, in normal days, cut the hair which will save your time and also make the dog comfortable in the summer season. Short hair also reduces the chances of developing any tangling or hair matting and prevents you from brushing every day. |

Wash the Shih Tzu and remove all the dirt and debris from the fur. If possible, use warm water to clean the dog and give enough time to allow the coat to get dried completely. Brush the coat effectively and remove tangled and matted hair, if any, and then start clipping. Allow the dog to be comfortable with the sound of clippers and then clip. Full clipping on the body of Shih Tzu is known as puppy cut.
Put the Shih Tzu on table close to the height of your chest. It will be easier for you. If the dog jiggles too much, then take the help of a person to hold the dog. There is a need to be very careful while clipping around eyes and ears. Keep talking to the dog and say clipping would make him look great which will keep the dog cool. Start clipping with head and neck and next come to the body parts which includes the areas around tail, but be very careful so that anus does not get hurt. Make sure that you cut the hair in the same direction as the hair growth.
