You need to get a coolant spray for the blade if you are going to clip him yourself.
When you're doing the face, don't point the blade towards the eye, clip from the eye down towards the nose - make sense? This way if he moves, as he will because he's a baby
, you won't poke him in the eye ball. As far as getting him to hold still.... It just takes practice. I don't have any real tips that I can explain well. I might try and clip him when he is a little tired and away from the other dogs. Just pull him aside in a spare room for a minute or put the other dogs outside or in another room while you make him pretty
