"I
have a 6 mos bichon/poodle mix that get freak out easily and even the
professional groomers at Petco could not do much with him except wash
and cut his nails. They're unable to shave him like I requested so I
bought this grooming to ease his anxiety by turning it on with the cap
still on the blade daily for 10-15 min while I'm combing his hair to
let him get use to the sound of a clipper. Approx 4-5 days later he
stopped being so jumpy and feel little at ease while I pretend to have
the clipper shaving his hair by gliding the clipper around his head,
back and feet. I was able to take off the cap and shave his fur between
his toes pad on four paws without him putting up a fight. I would recommend this
shaver to every one who need to shave the pet around the eyes, between
their toes and need a quick trimming around the face. The blade is
small so it fits nicely between the toes to get the hair and it does
cut nicely and the sound is not loud at all so it does not
startle/scare the pet oncehe/she get us to the sound. The only
complaint that I have is because it is running on battery, it does not
last too long so keep those extra AA batteries close by :)"
