If he's used to the noise of the clippers, it should be straightforwards to cut - but to get it looking tidy just takes practice!

i have two dogs the female i cut /trim with scissors and a comb i always make sure the comb is between her skin and the scissors, and she is generally happy to sit there and allow me to do this. The male gets pretty aggressive and wont let me snip and comb the hair around certain areas, nor sit still for much, so i get out the hair clippers and he gets kinda scared of em, so it stops him trying to bite me, and i jsut shave him the best i can for the summer.

You should attempt to do it yourself, if you find you have one of them dogs who wont sit still and its just too much of a drama for you then send em to the salon.

I would have to say that if you are willing to put in the extra time it is definitely worth doing it yourself. I wouldn't think that you would need to so to school just to cut your own dogs fur. Practice makes perfect. I have 2 St. Poodles myself and I groom them myself and learned the technique from a DVD How to groom your dog. $60 x 2 every 6 weeks was just too expensive for me and I have saved lots of money and several funny haircuts latter I throughly enjoy doing it now. Good Luck!
