| Disobedience while triming ears! How in the world can I get my yorkies to sit while clipping their hair on either side of their ears. When they were little I could wrap them in a warm towel, now that they are older it is such a fight!! They sit still for about everything else, but are afraid of the clippers on their ears. I have a wahl clipper and a smaller mustache clipper I use and try to wait until they are tired and about asleep to try. The wahl clipper is very loud. Other than "Hog-Tieing" them is their any training or tricks that we could start using to help them get over this fear?? Needless to say they will need ears trimmed for the rest of their lives..need a way to stop this before it goes on. Oh, my dogs are from 9 mo to 10 wks. Our older male (2 1/2 yrs) just stands there and lets me do anything to him..he just wants it overwith!! Not so with the others!!!! Help!!!!!

| Loki's groomer says he behaves there in the noose, but at home he will not let me blow dry his face/head or cut his nails. He will even let me brush his face and sits patiently every day while I clean his eyes and the blow dryer is fine everywhere else but his face. He will let me clean, wash and hold his paws but if he sees the clippers he flips out. I've tried peanut butter, treats, etc. I need ideas too!
