When you complete the upper body, check its lower body as well, including its paw and tail to see where else cutting or touch up is required. 9. Clip the fur on its head and face at the very last. Be careful while moving towards the eyes, ears, mouth and near to their whiskers. 10. You must keep the clipper flat against the top of the dog's head with the blade spokes and pull it towards the back to push fur away from the upper brow. 11. After the above steps, you can gently wrap your free hand around the dog's muzzle and point it towards the ceiling. Run the clippers towards the throat to trim the underside of the muzzle. 12.
