How do i get her to be still while i trim her face. I have clippers and i put them near her to get used to the noise. She moves away. I use sizzors and she pulls every time I get near her face. HElp.

I've never tried to trim anything on my dog's face or head but there are times when I want to look in her mouth, check her ears, or trim her nails (all things that she doesn't care for and will pull away from). I work with her on a regular basis on the "Easy" command and reward accordingly. So whenever I'm doing any of the previously mentioned activities, giving her a small sized treat, or have another reason to need her to be slow, still, and gentle, I say very calmly and slowly "Easy" and she generally obeys. Definitely train that skill when there is no fear of whatever is happening, like starting with the pup taking a treat from your hand gently. Be sure to immediately correct any response that isn't easy.

I wouldn't recommend it, just like what Elle said, the whiskers are part of your dog's sensory system.
