I am new to grooming my lab and i was curious about how to trim the tail correctly. i would appreciate if someone could tell me

You better watch someone before you try that. Kind of difficult to describe.....That said, I haven't trimmed a tail in several years now.

I just trim off the twizzle with thinning shears if it's needed. Other than that, not mush to do.

The twizzle on the tail is there because the hair wraps around the tail. Why trim off an indication of a wrapped tail? That's what I was taught by a grizzled exhibitor. Of course, she also added "But go ahead and trim that tail when you're going to be competing against me!"

What is there to trim on a Labrador except its nails ? I get so tired of Labs anyway but natural. But they seem to win. DON'T TRIM THAT TAIL.
