Once the bath is complete you can towel dry before blow drying. Use a soft slicker brush while blow drying and brush in the direction of the head. You don't have to buy a blow dryer specifically for dogs as long as you use a human hair dryer on the low heat setting otherwise you can dry out the hair and aggravate the skin.



Then when it comes time to do the Pomeranian hair cut you want to start with the head and specifically the ear tips. This can be hard since you don't want to cut the actual ear. The best way to prevent this is by pinching the ear leather between your fingers so they act as a protective barrier.

When cutting the tips of your dogs ears you want a horizontal angle, so make sure the scissors are parallel to the dogs eyes when cutting. Then on your second cut across the ear tip you want to have a slightly tilted angle. This gives the ears a softer look that doesn't make them look too pointy.

After you have trimmed the ears you want to brush the hair around the head towards the front. Next cut the excess hair away from their head to give an overall circular shape. When you are doing a Pomeranian hair cut it is a good idea to use your fingers as guides in case the Pomeranian suddenly leaps forward. Next brush all the chest hair up and trim it at an angle that aims towards the knee to have a tidy appearance. This will also help to give the Pomeranian the standard circular appearance when viewed from the side.

Now you can move on to the body. Turn the dog sideways and trim the hairs underneath in a semi-circular shape. You should start your Pomeranian hair cut about one third up the back of the front leg and go in a semi-circular shape from there, ideally ending about one third of the way up on the back leg, although you can adjust this cut to fit the length of your Pomeranian's legs. If there are any excess hairs sticking out of the midriff section then you should trim them away.

Finally you should trim some of the hair around the base of the tail to give a tidy shape. Then you should twist the end of the tail and hold it straight up the back. Now cut the length where you think it will lay best.

Then the final step in a Pomeranian hair cut is to trim away any hair on the feet that gives the rabbit foot look. You will also need to trim under the foot as well. The best way to do this is to place your dog on their back since you can control both the dog and the scissors better.
