It may be easier for you to do this once all the clipping has been finished or you might find it easier to get two paws done after you have just gotten half way with the clippers. I sometimes trim the two paws half way if I know the dog is a wriggler and doesn't like having his/her paws trimmed. The dog will tolerate one paw at a time better than doing them all together and while you are working on the paw it will be best to clip the dog's nails if they need trimming.

TRIMMING THE TAIL AND EARS
If you have decided not to clip the dog's tail and ears then they will need to be brushed and any knots taken out. A slicker brush is the best type of brush to use for this. You can tell if the dog has any knotted areas by running a comb through the fur. If the comb gets stuck and you can't pull it through then you know there is a knot to get out. The best tool for this is a dematting comb. Use this comb by starting at the outside of the knotted area and plucking gradually until the matted part is pulled away. Hold the ear or tail in such a way as you also pin some of the surrounding fur to minimise the pulling on the dog's skin - some dogs are not very tolerant when mats are pulled out. If the area is too matted then it might be best to just use the clippers and shave the fur in these areas or cut them out with the scissors. Either way, take care not to cut the dog.
Otherwise, keep brushing until you can run a comb easily through the ear or tail fur.
TRIMMING THE FACE
Start by trimming the ears with the scissors, that is, if the ears haven't been clipped. It might be easy for you and your dog to trim in either a nice half moon shape or straight along the bottom, being careful not to cut the flesh part of the ear. If you have clipped the ears over then a trim around the edges looks a lot neater also.
Clip the dog down the side of the face between the ear and eye, the same length as for the main body.
Brush the fur around the muzzle and use the thinning scissors to trim the fur around the mouth. Also use these scissors to trim the fur across the bridge of the nose and at the corner of the eyes. Use the normal scissors to trim the fur across the top of the eyes back to a point where the dog can see. Repeat for the other side of the face. You may not find doing around your dog's face quite so easy for the first couple of times but with a little practice it should become easier.
