Answer
Well Shell,
There are dozens of DVD's out there to choose from. Contact a poodle breed club. Sometimes they give seminars. Since I learned at a school I never actually had the need to watch one. What I can tell you is that Oster A-5 clippers are the old work horse most people learned on and they have a booklet on poodle trimming. I am assuming you are talking about a poodle because they are pretty much the only breed  that has that done. Whether the hair is thick or thin it's the same.
After that you need to practice practice practice.
good luck
