Beat by beat

Fill the frame with one dog's cheek and your scissors. No talking, no intro card.

2-6 s

Keep the scissors moving through the same patch of coat. Let the snip carry the sound.

6-15 s

Hold the angle. End when the trim ends, right after the dog's head lifts or the comb clears fur.

Film it on your phone

Set your phone on a tripod arm at nose height, one hand span from the dog's face.
Slide your gloved hand into frame and start trimming before you hit record.
