How to do a dog clipping properly

Successfully style dogs with a dog clipper.

GogiPet Dog Grooming Book German

Our dog groomer explains how to do a dog harness correctly.

With the purchase of a pet clipper (shearing machine) it is not done, simply switch on the pet clipper and start a clipp works in the fewest cases.

Our professional dog hairdresser with years of experience in dog grooming and dog styling has put together valuable advices for you to make sure that clipp will work.

Here are the basic tips on how a clipper works


The preparation:

Before you can start with the pet clipper, the coat must be clean and free of mats and tangles, please note that you cannot cut into mats but only underneath the felted area(s). The clipp can only be done as long as the felt is removed from the skin.

Dog wash
Step 1 Cleaning


Shearing heads (blades) become blunt very quickly if the coat is not cleaned well before.

The dog must be bathed well before. First the pre-wash is to do to remove the coarsest dirt and excess grease. Then rinse the coat well and shampoo the dog a second time to get the coat in the right condition.

The dog groomer usually uses the universal shampoo for the first shampooing and the breed specific shampoo for the second shampooing (black, white, brown...) If you bathe the dog at home, you can of course use the breed specific shampoo twice, but it is important that you shampoo twice.

How to do:


The water temperature should be between 37 and 38 degrees (not lukewarm, which is too cold for the dog). Put the shower head on the coat and soak the coat well. (The shower head should always be held very close to the body, so it is comfortable for the dog, do not bring water into the ears, if necessary use a cotton ball to plug them).

First shampooing:


For shorter hairs, it is best to use a rubber brush and massage the shampoo back and forth to remove loose hair. For longer hairs, brush the shampoo in the direction of growth (do not brush back and forth - you would confuse the hair even more instead of untangling it). Rinse out the shampoo.

Second shampooing:


Repeat the steps and try to loosen knots already now with the brush, then rinse the shampoo thoroughly. (If your dog has some more mats and tangels, it is best to use the longhair shampoo, this loosens the knots best)

Balsam yes or no?


It depends. For dogs that have a lot of volume in the coat, use the volume balm, it also helps to keep the hair upright when clipping and shear cutting.

In case of long hanging hair or with all dogs that have mats and tangels in their fur, it is essential that you use for the dog a hair mask. (the mask does not need to be washed out thoroughly, it helps to remove felt and prevents new felt, just rinse a little).

Dog dryer
Step 2 Drying

With long hair, it is important that you do not rub back and forth, otherwise you would confuse the hair and have to untangle it again with difficulty. Therefore, spread the water in the direction of growth or suck off the water by pressing. The GogiPet magic towel is best suited for this purpose as it absorbs a lot of water and can be used again immediately until the dog is as dry as possible.

Now the actual drying proces , de-mating and brushing starts. Ideally, a dog dryer is used for this, as it does not dry the coat, but blows the water out of the coat together with the dirt and lime residues and also dissolves mats and tangles. At the same time you should remove felt and knots with mechanical means.

With stubborn mats you have to proceed relatively radically if it can't be loosened, use a mat cuter (mat breaker) to cut the plates open.

Larger knots can be cut into pieces with the knot cutter (mat splitter) until you can finally untangle them with an untangling hook. Then brush out smaller knots, only when you can glide through the coat with the dog comb is the coat ready for clipping.

Step 3 Clipping preparation:

If your dog breed has undercoat, this will be completely or partially removed with the Coat Master.

The clipp is done in 3 repetitive steps:

Brush the coat against the direction of growth and cut the coat in the direction of growth, then brush against the direction of growth again and cut again in the direction of growth. Then do the same again to get a smooth and even clipp.

Always pay attention to the direction of growth, because if you cut once with and once against the line you will get different lengths. (Only in dog breeds where the coat cannot be combed up, the shearing is done against the direction of growth, but also here consistently against the direction of growth, but these are exceptions)

Please note:

It looks better if the legs are longer than the body shape, so the legs are usually cut with scissors. Legs also look better with a scissors cut, because you can style the legs (even if they are crooked) visually nice and straight. The transitions from the shorter body to the longer legs are worked with modelling scissors (thinning scissors) to create an even (invisible) transition. For most breeds, the tail is also best trimmed with the modelling scissors (thinning scissors).

The hair on the ears and between the pads is best removed with a paw clipper, as they are very low in vibration and do not tickle, very experienced dog groomers can also do this with paw scissors, but a paw clipper, is always safer.

These are the basic tips that our dog groomer has put together for you to be able to perform a successful clipping.

Get your dog excited about clipping. Your dog knows very well that he is beautifully made, we have seen many dogs strut proudly from our dog salons, most of all he is happy about a reward. How about as praise for the good cooperation with a Fair Trade dog toy?

Personal experience with clippers

Personal experience with clippers in the clipper comparison


Our experience with the pet clippers is based on reports and experiences in our dog salon, our pet groomer partners, our pet groomer school, our customers (both pet groomers, veterinarians and private users) and our well-known dog breeders.

Top clippers for professionals:

For pet groomers who work continuously, these clippers are likely the only suitable options. You can use these clippers without hesitation for continuous operation. So far, we have had almost no repairs, even though they are our best‑selling clippers.

Differences between the leading pet clippers:

The Heiniger Opal has now pushed all other clippers from first place. It is the best‑selling battery‑powered clipper, and Heiniger also offers a 2‑year warranty. In terms of speed, noise level, and battery performance, the Heiniger Opal is unbeatable. Closely following in second place are the Heiniger Saphir models, which essentially differ only in design and equipment; the Saphir clippers themselves are technically identical. New: Since 2026, Heiniger has expanded the range with the Heiniger Onyx corded clipper with 2 speeds, which prevents tangling thanks to its rotating cable and impresses with another innovative development from Switzerland.

The new generation of Andis clippers has also significantly improved in terms of quality and has now pushed Aesculap, the former leader, into third place. With the Andis beSpoke, there is for the first time a clipper that can be charged wirelessly. The Andis Pulse ZR II generation offers 5 speeds and can be optimally adjusted for sensitive animals, and the Andis eMERGE completes the hybrid (battery and corded) clipper range at a particularly affordable price.

Aesculap Favorita clippers with the specially developed Slide blade system are especially popular among dog groomers who are already familiar with this system. They, as well as the Aesculap Fav5 clippers with Snap‑On blade system, stand out due to their metal oscillating lever, which protects against wear for a very long time even in continuous operation.

As an additional secondary clipper, the GogiPet Orate hybrid clipper is very popular because it is particularly lightweight and easy to handle. The GogiPet Orate dog clipper is mainly used for small trimming tasks and is the only clipper in its class that features interchangeable blades in different lengths. Many dog groomers also use the GogiPet Orate for full grooming on small, mat‑free dogs. It convinces with its ease of use and significantly simplifies grooming.

Top clippers for breeders:

The ideal clippers for breeders and part‑time dog groomers are the slightly more affordable models that still deliver excellent performance. Breeders who use clippers for small breeds or only for partial trimming are particularly enthusiastic about the GogiPet Orate, as it is extremely lightweight and, with its specially developed blades, performs well even on slightly longer hair. Since breeders usually do not use a clipper for full grooming on a regular basis, a corded clipper such as the Heiniger Onyx or Heiniger Saphir Cord is preferred. Apart from being lighter, these clippers also have significantly lower maintenance costs, because a battery that is not used regularly tends to fail prematurely. Fans of cordless clippers appreciate the Heiniger Saphir models or the Aesculap Durati. The absolute insider tip from our dog groomers for these Snap‑On clippers are the GogiPet Titan ceramic clip blades and the GogiPet Premium clipper blades. They run the smoothest, do not heat up as quickly, and the blade can be easily replaced when it becomes dull—without having to send the entire blade head to a sharpening service.

Differences between the professional pet clippers:

GogiPet dog clippers are particularly known for their excellent price‑performance ratio and stand for outstanding quality.

The Heiniger Saphir clippers from Switzerland have been known for their high standards for many years and offer not only warranty but also a 2‑year guarantee.

The Andis corded clippers with 2 speeds impress with their excellent price within the professional clipper class. The also very affordable Andis hybrid clippers are extremely maneuverable and can be used with a cord if needed, eliminating battery issues entirely.

The Aesculap Durati clipper has been improved with a higher stroke rate. However, unlike the long‑established Aesculap small‑animal clippers, the Durati features a plastic oscillating lever.
Due to the relatively high number of complaints, we no longer carry Oster, Wahl, Moser, and AGC clippers and instead focus on top‑quality dog clippers, as the well‑being of the animals and proper grooming are especially important to us.

Clippers for private users:

For small dog breeds and cat breeds, the GogiPet Orate is the most appreciated. With proper use, a full-body grooming is also possible, even though the GogiPet Orate was designed as a partial-area clipper. Since even professional groomers like to use this clipper for full grooming on small dog breeds, GogiPet has developed longer special blades for the Orate, as the included attachment combs are mainly suitable for human hair. When it comes to fine work and partial trimming, the GogiPet Orate definitely leads the way because it is particularly small and lightweight. For small dogs and cats, it can even be used for full grooming if they are thoroughly bathed, brushed, and combed.

The Optimum Ultra, Heiniger Onyx, and Heiniger Saphir Cord are also excellent clippers, but due to their higher prices, they are not as commonly chosen by private users. If you use the clipper very frequently, a cordless clipper may be suitable, such as the particularly affordable Heiniger Saphir dog clippers with a single battery. However, if you only use the clipper occasionally, we recommend a corded clipper, as batteries wear out quickly when they are not used regularly. If you cannot decide between cordless or corded operation, the Andis eMERGE models are the best choice, as they can be used both with and without a cable. Forgetting to charge the battery becomes a thing of the past with hybrid clippers. Wahl and Moser machines have been removed from our range due to poor feedback.

Differences between high-quality dog clippers:

GogiPet Orate: For small dog breeds and cat breeds or as a partial-area clipper. The hybrid clipper can be operated with a battery or directly via power cable. Special blades available.
Heiniger Onyx and Saphir: Top Swiss quality with a 2‑year warranty.
Andis Hybrid: Corded or cordless operation depending on the workload, suitable for all coat types.
Aesculap Durati: After its release, the Aesculap Durati was the number one bestseller among private users due to the strong Aesculap brand name. However, due to recurring issues, the Durati has lost significant relevance and slipped to last place. Nevertheless, it is still considered a professional-grade clipper.

Paw clippers:

Paw clippers are particularly lightweight, quiet, and low‑vibration. These small clippers are primarily used for safely trimming the hair between the paw pads and are especially known for their barely noticeable vibration, ensuring the grooming process does not tickle. They are also very helpful for smooth trimming of ears, muzzles, armpits, the intimate and anal area, as well as for removing knots that cannot be brushed out.

Differences between paw clippers:

The GogiPet Tornado Hybrid has risen to the top, being the only paw clipper with 3 speed settings, allowing it to be adjusted for particularly sensitive animals. It can also be operated with a cable in addition to battery mode, ensuring it is always ready for use.

The GogiPet Orate actually belongs to the partial‑area clippers, but for larger dogs it is also frequently used as a paw clipper because its wider blade allows faster work. It also offers multiple speeds and can be operated both with battery and cable.

The Heiniger Style Mini features an extra‑narrow blade, is very powerful, and is one of the lowest‑vibration paw clippers on the market. We have been using it for several years in our partner grooming salons, and replacement blades are only ordered occasionally because the carbon steel is extremely hard and durable. The blade can be changed without tools.

The Aesculap Exacta and Aesculap Isis are two identical machines that differ only in appearance. Their quality is equivalent to the Heiniger Style Mini, but an included hex key is required to change the blade.

Partial‑area clippers:

Clippers for fine work, finishing, show preparation, facial trimming, and clippers used by groomers and veterinarians for smaller tasks and close shaving. Smaller dogs with simple and well‑prepared coats can also be fully clipped. All partial‑area clippers feature an adjustable blade and attachment combs. They are primarily characterized by their maneuverability, light weight, and the option to operate them with either cable or battery.

Differences between partial‑area clippers:

The GogiPet Orate is the only partial‑area clipper for which blades in different lengths are available. Therefore, it is not only suitable as a partial‑area clipper but can also be used as a small‑animal clipper for smaller dogs with well‑maintained coats. The attachment combs are suitable for human hair and are also used by hairdressers. With 5 speed levels, it can be optimally adjusted for particularly sensitive pets, and with a runtime of up to 8 hours, it is unbeatable.

The Heiniger Style Midi impresses with its ergonomic shape and exceptional design, making it a real eye‑catcher in any grooming salon. It comes with 5 attachment combs that are perfect for finishing work.

The Andis Vida features a USB‑C connection and can also be operated directly via USB‑C. It comes with 6 attachment combs and can be expanded with 8 color‑coded combs.

The Aesculap Akkurata and Aesculap Vega are identical and differ only in design. Both clippers come with 5 attachment combs suitable for finishing work.

The Optimum clippers complete the range. These machines have also proven themselves exceptionally well.


These clippers are particularly recommended by us. In the clipper comparison below, you will find our evaluation based on customer emails. Even if we no longer carry some of these clippers, we appreciate your current experiences.

Important for large animals

Blade use for pets:

For small animals such as dogs, cats and rodents, a blade can often last for many weeks or even months without having to sharpen it. Provided the coat is very well washed and brushed out and completely free of mats and the blade is oiled regularly (every 5 - 10 minutes of clipping time). See also the advice from our Pet groomer.

Blade use for large animals:

In large animals such as horses, ponies, cattles, etc., the hair is thicker and more robust than in pets, which means that there is more resistance to clipping and therefore more wear and tear.

This means that the life of the blade is generally shorter.

In order to keep the wear of the blade as low as possible, the cleanliness of the coat is of utmost importance. (Wash with good shampoo and brush out the hair well).

If the clipping blade comes into contact with dirt (e.g. dust) during clipping, the blade is immediately blunt and must be sharpened.

According to our experience, it is quite possible to shear several horses with the same blade, provided they have been washed very thoroughly beforehand and the blades are oiled every 5 - 10 minutes.

If this is not the case, several blades may be needed per horse.

The biggest challenge is to clean the coat really well.

We definitely recommend having at least one spare blade available when clipping horses, so that you don't have to interrupt the work.

We often get requests from horse owners for clippers or clipper heads with which even sandy or dirty coats can be clipped. Unfortunately, there is no such thing, the coat has to be really clean and the blades have to be well oiled regularly.

Schnellste Lieferung, Super Produkt

Lieferung ins europäische Ausland erfolgte innerhalb einer Woche, schneller als aus D.
Produkt: sehr zufrieden, Teilbereiche und Komplettschur eines Grospudelwelpen mit guten Resultat. Akkuzeit vollkommen ausreichend. Habe mit gebrauchter Aesculap begonnen. Bin mit Hersteller sehr zufrieden, da leistungsstarke Maschinen und gute Scherköpfe. Suhl ist mir bekannt für seine Feinmechanik und Waffentechnik (Wir züchten Jagdhunde - Gebrüder Merkel).
Generell bin ich sehr erstaunt über die Produktauswahl im Shop - sehr gute Gesamtqualität.

Máquina auxiliar estupenda

Yo uso normalmente la Aesculap Favorita en mi peluquería canina, por supuesto, pero para los perros pequeños sin nudos uso cada vez más la Aesculap Akkurata porque es muy manejable. Estoy muy contento.

Super Zusatzmaschine

Ich verwende natürlich die Aescsulap Favorita im Hundesalon, aber bei kleinen filzfreien Hunden nehme ich immer öfter die Aesculap Akkurata, weil sie so handlich ist.

Hammerpreis für die Aesculap Akkurata

Meine alte Aesculap Akkurata hat nach einige Jahren den Geist aufgegeben, ich war über den Preis erstaunt und dachte mir schon, dass es ein Fehler ist, ich hatte für die erste Akkurata mehr als das doppelte bezahlt.
