Your local library or bookstore should have a good number of dog grooming books and DVDs available. Pet stores carry grooming kits and will sometimes offer lessons. Talk with your groomer and ask if s/he'll give you some tips for maintenance between cuts. That way, you only have to stretch the coat until the next grooming.

You need to tell the groomer that right out then and the groomer will work with you so you can do it the proper way and the dog can stay nicely clipped at all times. Don't get information online because if they leave something out then you'll make a mistake and have to pay the groomer to fix it anyway
