Please help. I just bought this attachment set. I put an attachment on the clippers, run down my dog's back and nothing happens. The clippers do work.

What # attachment did you use and how long is your dogs hair? Either attachment is not on properly or need to use a shorter length.

That's pretty common with long attachments. I run the clippers in the direction of the hair growth and then the opposite direction, and repeat.

With all clippers including detachable blades u need to at least run the clippers two to three times over the cutting area. Don't forget to oil the blades.

The clippers will get hot. Besides the blade getting hot, you will feel it in your hand from the body of the clipper. I check the blade periodically by putting the flat of the blade on the back of my hand or cheek. I don't believe the dogs feel the heat much when you are clipping the body of the coat but you need to be careful of their faces, feet and other sensitive parts if you clip them. I blow on their feet while clipping if I am close to being done with the task. Otherwise, I let the clippers cool & do something else such as brushing or clipping toenails while the clippers cool.

We have Goldendoodles. The prongs on the device work for one of them but we had to get 1 inch attachments for our other one. It really depends on the thickness of the fur. Should you get the attachments, make sure to get two. Some people, including myself, thought that there were two in one order when there really was only one. You will need two though. Good luck!

We trimmed our Austrial Shepard with them and the worked well. He has very thick fine and human clippers would not even start to work but these did. Use caution as the cut quickly thru even thick hair and hold wrinkles down flat or stretched tight to avoid cutting your dogs skin. Takes some practice to get a even trim, so start long.

Hi I ordered the adapter as a gift. I was later told that this particular clipper is not used to body clip a horse. I would like to return the adapter is that possible?

We enjoy the clippers but have not used them enough to have to have the blades sharpened yet. I can tell you experience with knives as well as commercial paper cutters that any blade will wear down when sharpened...At some point they will have to be replaced. Make sure that you use the oil when you use the clippers as this will help them stay sharper longer.Take care,Greg

I also got my hair dryer on Black Friday. None of the attachments fit. My husband took it to his workbench to try, and even he couldn't get them to attach. Definitely something wrong here.

I have standard Poodles and we had Wirehaired Pointers before these guys. The normal points should be enuf. Get the collars snug and give them a wiggle to seat them on the dogs. Usually all you need is the vibrator and that works regardless. I would start with what Dogtra sends. Great collars BTW. Steve

I'm only guessing here, but I think they would work. My dog, a Gordon Setter, has very fine hair instead of the rough fur you think of with a big dog. The clippers work well on her . . . . tho man! does it ever get all over the house!! (NOT the clippers fault!!)

These actually attach to the attachment. They have velcro on the backside. I have never had an issue using them. They are great!

They should work on most clippers, I only own the one pair so I can't be certain.

If you were like me you were over thinking the whole deal. You need to push down on something rather than unscrew something. Been a while but I think I had the same problem. To re-phrase it , you probably are looking at the unit in the wrong way as for its potentiality to work. The clippers are not great until you get the combs to work. Then they are :) I saw something really counter intuitive assembly wise when I first got this set too, then I must have had a moment of stupidity and lucked into the lock between the units. Dog likes this and pays for itself vs. groomer quick.

hold the clipper like you would cutting hair- now push downward with your thump. Now is should come off. When the blade is off, look at the base and you will see a slot where the blade fixes in. Hope this is helpful.

Yes..? I have two schnauzers...works well. Sometimes the clippers get too hot against their skin...after prolong use.

I have not tried yet, bought the wrong blade, have another machine(Oster). Try to give the dog a bath first an clip near the skin. Good luck!

Yes. We bought ours in hopes of stoping our dog from jumping fences and it doesn't work at all!! The clip that sits on the dogs back is a synch clip that can't be locked in place so it only tightens when pulled on by a leash. When not tight the dog just walks it off as it loosens. Not a good product!!
