Safely Trim Dog Tails in Your Dog Grooming Adventure

To trim dog tails is a simple task. It won’t take you but a minute or two to do this and it’s one of the finishing touches to your dog grooming adventure.

With your dog bathed and brushed and in the trim you want, you won’t be needing much in the way of dog grooming equipment. You will want your dog brush, greyhound comb and dog grooming scissors.

Brush or comb through the hair on the tail.

Wrap your hand around the base of the tail and slide your hand down past the tail to the end of the hair and twist it. Before you make your cut, take your comb and check to make sure you are cutting only hair and not your dogs tail. If the comb goes all the way through then it should be safe to cut. It won’t hurt to double check by physically feeling the area to make sure it’s only hair.

After you make that cut, brush thru the hair again, pull the tail out to the rear of the dog, then clean up and shape the remaining hair. See the dog pictures below.
