Home-Grooming

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for some tips on trimming our chow at home rather than ever taking him to a groomer. I've known one too many people who have taken their various breeds of long-haired dogs to the groomer and they've ended up being shaved without asked. I know there are also wonderful groomers out there but I just refuse to take the chance with our chow. Therefore, since shaving a chow is against the entire purpose of the beautiful breed's appearance I'd like to get some advice on how to trim (maybe just an inch or so) of hair on a chow?
We don't have our puppy yet but it's my understanding that their hair (if never shaved) does not stop growing so little trims/touch-ups are necessary. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.
So if anyone has advice on how they trim their chow at home I'd love to hear!
Thank you!
