Here is the video for ear plucking. I had no idea you even had to pluck their ears until my cousin's dog got a horrible ear infection and the vet said a great way to prevent it was to pluck their ears. I PROMISE this does not hurt them! Layla doesn't even flinch when i pluck her ears. I mention in the video you don't have to use the powder but i think it would be VERY difficult if you didn't. Also i try to do this a little bit each week so i don't have tons of hair to have to pull out. it will leave their ears red but that will go away shortly. Also i forgot to mention earlier.. everyone has commented on how well behaved layla is... PLEASE keep in mind this is after MANY grooming sessions at home with LOTS of treats and praise. When i cut her facial hair, she only gets a treat if she behaves (doens't jerk away) and now she knows if she stays still she gets the treat!
