How to trim a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy’s fuzzy head [Video]

To trim or not to trim.

That was the question about what to do with the growing Chia Pet hairstyle on my 5-month old Bernese Mountain Dog puppy’s head.

With Ziva getting ready to go into the show ring, I decided it was time to give her a little refinement.

Step-by-step video

Kristen Greenwood Reynolds, whose Mufasa won Best of Breed at Westminster in 2014, had agreed last year to work with me on some Bernese Mountain Dog grooming videos.

Kristen manages 4 Paws Spa and Training Center in Forest Hill, Maryland.

With Ziva’s wild fuzz taking over her head, a trimming video fit the bill and my model was sitting right in front of me.

    She was, and she got used to the sound of the scissors pretty quickly. It’s an odd sound for them at first. She is a very good girl on the grooming table 🙂

    She is such a beautiful and well behaved girl. She looks so grown up after her haircut. Thank you again for such an informative and fun video.
