This is a professional grade trimmer. Just make sure the blades are sharp and you should be okay.

Hello Kelly P - I'm not a professional groomer, just a home groomer, so I'll try to answer as best I can. Sounds like your blade may need sharpening, or oiling, which needs to be done frequently while clipping. Also, make sure her hair is freshly washed, dried & combed. I love this Wahl Motion Lithium Clipper because it is quiet, and doesn't get hot. And it works very well on my two miniature girls' faces. In about one hour, I plan to start my February clipping session on them, and it will be only the second time I've used the Wahl on them, as I bought it only last month. I think Wahl has a very friendly return policy, so check it out. I recommend this clipper highly.

Hi Kelly - I also am only a home groomer, but the Wahl Motion clipper cuts my Springer Spaniel's hair extremely well. His hair gets very thick and the blade cuts so well that I have to be careful not to cut his hair too short. Good luck and take care

I have a "morkie" and I use a 7 on her. Works great! If the hair is really thick use a 5 skip tooth first ( but finish with the 7)

I have German shepherds so I'm not sure. I bought a 7 inch skip tooth to thin their hair first and then a 7 inch. to finish and blend it. They work great and I am so glad I invested in them. Good Luck!!

I have used this on my mixed whatever "LUCY" Her hair is not that long but very thick with an undercoat. It works well in between the mow downs at the groomers.As I said her outer coat is thick & short with an undercoat. Not like a spaniel. Well worth the money for the in between cuts.

We are using the collar on our standard poodle. It is working well on his medium curl, inch length hair. My sister uses the collar for her large male German Shepard who has thick, longish hair. All of us have been satisfied with the product and haven't had a problem due to hair type. I'd investigate the return policy for peace of mind.

I know this is an old question but I thought I'd answer for others. It does work for thick coated dogs. I have a double coated long hair border collie/malamute mix. He doesn't feel it right away, it just shocked him for the first time today :(It took 4 or 5 barks, but he got a very confused look on his face and jumped. So it will work, it just takes a few more barks for them to feel it

I have Dobermans and I use these clippers to clean up whiskers, ears, flank area, legs and hock area prior to being shown. I do not and have never used the comb attachments. I really have no idea how these clippers would work with a poodle... sorry.

Yes. My hair is super thick and wavy. It works great! I love it cause my hair is short. The small blades allow it to get to the root. Great purchase!

I also have thick hair that's curly and frizzy. This works great on it. Put the temp on 370 degrees and use a wide-tooth comb with it. My hair gets straight and smooth as a pin.

If your dog has thick hair, the collar may need to be on snug so the probes are close to the skin so the collar will work

Both my yorkies have really fine hair, and it works very well. I don't have experience with other clippers, but I've noticed you have to cut the same area a few times and in different directions to get it really straight, specially when using those spacers thingies :)

Yes, it will work; however, it may take a bit of patience. It seems that it is a little more difficult to get the "little twistee" to grab hold and hang on to the coarser hair. You will probably feel some pain while removing the hair; however, isn't it worth a few seconds of mild pain to have a smooth face! Good luck.

Don't think so. I use mine on a miniature poodle and if she has matted hair, it had a tough time.

It definitely will . . I have thick hair as well , but maybe our textures are different . .but it gets super got so it straightens it and curls it at the same time . . Its a very good curler . . hope i helped

I have a Shih Tzu and her hair gets very long. I am also very familiar with the Cocker Spaniel coat as I have owned one as well. Yes it will work fine. Go slow in the direction of the hair, not against the direction. Keep the blades moderately oiled. Also make sure you detangle any possible knots and brush thoroughly before you cut. You will be fine.

I really don't know. I use the fine blade on my poodles faces. It shaves very close, it would work to shave the back of the neck after the haircut.

I have thick curly hair and it works wonderfully. I think if your hair is fine it might weigh it down.
