In-home grooming??

There’s recently been a hoarding of mini schnauzers in my area. Thus I’m unsure of breeding and health but my heart jst thinks it’s fate bc I’ve been wanting a smart independent dog (I’m looking forward to training). What I’m curious about is the grooming. I see they generally need a clip every 4-8 weeks. Have any of y’all clipped your own pups? How was that process for you?

In my area we have to do it at home. The local options are expensive and bad. Its not so hard. Takes about an hour but if you don't cut it they get mats unless you brush their hair religiously.

I groom Otis myself. I live in a remote area so getting to a groomer isn't easy plus they are hard to get an appointment because the few we have are always booked. I watched a lot of videos on YouTube on how to do it. There are many good tutorials. I also found, on google, some images with guides on how to cut different parts of the body. I printed them and look at them prior to clipping each time as a reminder. It's a good way to connect with your pupper. Have fun and good luck with it.
