Before you do a Pomeranian hair cut you want to give your dog a bath. The most important part of the bath is to avoid getting water in the eyes, nose or ears. You can place cotton balls in the ears to protect them from water. After the bath you should towel dry before gently blow drying. While using the blow dryer you should also use a soft slicker brush and brush in the direction of the head. There are dryers you can buy specifically for dogs, but you can use a human hair dryer as long as you keep it on the low heat setting otherwise you can aggravate the skin and dry out the hair.
Then when you cut your dogs hair you want to start with the head and most specifically the ear tips. This is a difficult process since you don't want to cut the actual ear. To prevent this the best method is to pinch the ear leather between your fingers so they can act as a protect barrier.
When you are trimming the ears you should cut at a horizontal angle. A good guide to use for this is to make sure your scissors are held parallel to the dogs eyes while cutting. Make a slightly tilted angle on your second cut. This gives the ears a softer angle that prevents them from appearing too pointy. Next be sure to brush towards the front all the hair around the head. Give the face a circular shape when viewed from the front by cutting away any excess hair.
A good tip when doing a Pomeranian hair cut is to use your fingers as guides in case the Pomeranian decides to suddenly leap forward. Next you want to brush the chest hair up and then trim at an angle that points towards their knee to present a tidy appearance. This also allows the Pomeranian to have the standard circular appearance when viewed from the side.
Now you should focus on the body. While viewing the dog from the side you should trim the hair underneath in a semi-circular shape. Start about one third up the back of the front leg and then continue the semi-circular
Pomeranian hair cut until you end about one third of the way up the back leg. The cut can be adjusted in order to fit the length of your dog's legs. At the same time you can cut away any excess hair that is sticking out of the midriff. Trim the base of the tail in order to give a tidy shape. After twisting the end of the tail hold it straight up the dogs back. Wherever you think the tail will lay best is where you should cut the length.
The last part of a Pomeranian hair cut is to trim the hair on the feet that gives the dog a rabbit foot look. You also need to trim hairs underneath the feet. Placing your dog on their back is the best way to control both the dog and the scissors.
