| Face Trimming I really need to trim Jacksons face. But he won't stay still and tries to push me away, even when I brush him. Any ideas? |

| I can only trim Mollys face after a long walk, when she has fallen into a deep sleep, and even then i sometimes can only do one side at a time! She has to go out looking lopsided occasionally!

| You need to slowly get him use to the scissors and comb. I don't even attempt doing Pixie, but my groomer holds her lil beard so that she doesn't move and if Pixie fights her bc at first she did, she moves with Pixie and doesn't let go until Pixie stops pulling. Now Pixie sits still while she is groomed. I am too afraid to trim with scissors. You are brave

| You can usually find a groomer not at Petsmart, do a google search They will usually do a clean-up trim. But what I do for my Jackson is use lots of food. I usually will trim him up after exercise (a long walk, or a day at the dog park) when he's almost too tired to care. I use a really yummy treat (like real meat) when getting a bath and trimming hair. Get him used to you touching his face first without even using the scissors and always treat him and tell him he's a good boy. Then slowly introduce the scissors. Maybe even just lay them on the bed, with a treat on top of them and let him associate them with a good thing!

YT Addict | Lexi *HATES* having her face hair trimmed. I've tried everything above from trying to get her used to the scissors to trying to tire her out, even treats won't do it. There is only one thing that works which is when my boyfriend holds her and I do the trimming. For some reason, his presence makes her sit like an angel. However if it's just me, you can forget about it.

| I like the face shorter. I actually buzz on top of the nose and on each side of the nose. Can't stand the hair getting into his mouth. The hair growing on each side of his face is actually so thick I can't get scissors threw it. I have to cut the under part first and then come back and cut the outer, evening it up on each side. The pup looks so much younger, IMO, when the face is short. When Buddy's face is longer he reminds me of an old man |

| I am just barely able to wipe his face with a baby wipe. He does let me wash his feet with one though, LOL... I'll try all of the above... I have to find my scissors anyway. Wish me luck. |

| My Mabel turns into a snarling, vicious biting devil! I have tried all of these things myself and nothing works! I don't know how the groomer does it and I don't want to know! Whatever she charges is less expensive than a trip to the ER with extensive animal bites to the hands!! LOL!!! If you discover the secret will you please let me know?!

| I had been able to trim my first yorkies face with scissors, but with Trixie I am not sure. She went to the vet for the first time yesterday and the vet trimmed her face and her little bottom with a buzzer not scissors.
