Your dog's ears can only be clipped as a puppy. This is a dangerous procedure and should only be done by your vet. There are no beneficial medical reasons to do this.

A dog can get his ears clipped before four to eight weeks, when they are still young. Then, the ears are supple and small, thereby making it easier to clip.
