Trim the head of the Miniature Schnauzer to appear rectangular in shape. Hold the dog’s head straight and then comb the eyebrows forward. Place the scissors against the side of the head, just behind the outside corner of the eye. Point the blade tips toward the center of the nose. Make one smooth, straight cut. Cut a V shape in between the eyebrows to the inside corner of the eye where the skull joins the nose. To trim the beard, start by combing it forward and trim a line from the widest part of the skull. This will help to achieve the correct rectangular appearance. Don’t cut away the top part of the beard or under the eyes or a hollowed-out, owl-like expression will result.
