If you trim a dogs hair will it grow back faster?

I know if you trim a persons hair it will grow back faster but would this work on a dog? More specifically on a havanese because their hair always is growing. Also One of my dogs hair grows faster then the other one. Could that be because one is a little older or what could cause this? They are both very healthy and on the same diet. One of them is 4 years and the other is 1 year old.

    Hair is made up of dead protein. The hair follicles which make hair have no contact with the hair once it leaves the follicle therefore it cannot increase or decrease its rate of production of dead protein based on what is happening to the hair strand.
