Giving a Havanese a haircut can be done at home or by a professional groomer. Here are some general steps to follow for grooming a Havanese:
1. Brush the coat: Before giving your Havanese a haircut, make sure to brush their coat thoroughly to remove any tangles or mats.
2. Trim the face: Use grooming scissors to trim the hair around the eyes, ears, and muzzle. Be careful around the eyes to avoid injuring your dog.
3. Trim the body: Use clippers or grooming scissors to trim the body hair to your desired length. Some common styles for Havanese include a puppy cut (short all over), teddy bear cut (slightly longer with a rounded face), or show cut (longer and more elaborate).
4. Trim the feet: Trim the hair on the feet and between the paw pads to keep your Havanese's feet clean and prevent matting.
5. Trim the tail: Trim the hair on the tail to keep it neat and tidy.
It's always a good idea to consult with a professional groomer for specific advice on the best haircut for your Havanese based on their coat type and your preferences.
