• Hold the scissors in your dominant hand with your thumb on top and your index finger on the side.
• Curl your other fingers around the handle for support.
• Keep your elbows close to your body to maintain control of the scissors.
• When cutting, make sure to close the blades before making contact with the fur.
• Open the blades as you draw the scissors through the fur.
• Practice holding and using the scissors in a variety of positions to find what is most comfortable for you.

Kitty also recommends using a variety of different grooming scissors for different tasks. For example, thinning shears are good for removing bulk, while texturizing shears can be used to create a more defined look. She also recommends using sharp scissors to get the best results.
