Shih Tzu X
OCKY
Sue works through a practical everyday salon groom on Ocky, a Shih Tzu cross with a soft mixed-breed coat that requires a balanced approach to clipping, tidying, and finishing work. Throughout the groom, Sue demonstrates how to create a neat, manageable pet trim while adapting to coat texture, body shape, and the individual dog in front of you.
This tutorial focuses on achievable salon styling, including coat preparation, clipping techniques, leg and foot tidy work, and soft finishing around the face and expression.
Part 1
Sue begins Ocky’s groom by clipping and setting the overall shape of the trim. She discusses working with mixed coat textures, maintaining an even finish through the body, and adapting her technique to suit the way the coat grows and sits on the dog.
Part 2
In the finishing stage, Sue focuses on the finer details of Ocky’s groom, including tidying the legs, feet, tail, and head. She demonstrates practical scissoring and finishing techniques designed to create a soft, balanced pet-style finish that is neat, comfortable, and easy for the owners to maintain.
