Question for dog groomers about clippers...?
I'm learning to groom my dog myself. I've been doing fairly well with the Andis clipper I use on my husband. My question is what is the difference between clippers for humans and clippers for animals? They seem to cost twice as much or more. Is it quieter? vibrates less? what?
Also, can you recommend a good grooming book or DVD? I have a terrier mix. I have a hard time getting the shape of her head. She looks like a Glen of Imaal Terrier.

Professional clippers usually clip better and quicker. They usually are quieter and they usually vibrate less, and they also can take more use than the human ones that you can purchase (not the salon ones, they are comparable to the professional ones for groomers).
You will probably have to hand cut (with scissors) the head of the dog in order to get the shape. It is really hard to give good shape with clippers unless you are really experienced. I would just get a nice pair of shears (most petstores have them, and the kit may have came with one) and then just free hand it. It takes a little more work, but it looks a lot better.
