| Any other groomers on here? Just curious. I love grooming Yorkie's, but my own is by far the worst client I've ever had. He's very lucky I love him so much. Haha. |

I've had coworkers offer to groom him, but I just feel bad. I don't wanted them to have to deal with him unless I pay them like $100. Haha. | |

| Lol farley is actually just scared to death of all of it. I have had him since he was 7 weeks old. And old man bought him at 6 wks and brought him into the vet clinic i worked at when he had him for a week and didnt want him anymore cause he couldnt potty train him. So i know he wasnt abused . But you would think he was as scared as he is of grooming. Im the only person who has ever groomed him. He doesnt try to bite or anything he is just in pure panic as soon as the clippers and blow dryer turn on. So i shave him every 8 wks or so in the summer. And keep him long in the winter and just do clean up sanitary trims every couple weeks. I used to think oh he will get used to it eventually but he just turned 9 years old and still hates it just as much as the day i got him! I always say it shouldnt be this stressful grooming my own dog!! Haha |

He's not really afraid of anything, he is just a big brat. He's very dominant, and while I'm alpha in some areas at home. He's definitely alpha when I try to groom him. If that makes sense. I can't brush him at all at home. As soon as a brush touches him he starts making noises that make me worried my neighbors will think I'm abusing him. Also, my before: http://i.imgur.com/L94qUYq.jpg And best I could do after: http://i.imgur.com/TgQXPeC.jpg I swear, I'm actually a good groomer. Haha. | |

| I swear, I'm actually a good groomer. Haha. Griffy looks totally adorable in both photos, but looking at 'after' picture, it's obvious that you are very skilled groomer! Nice job on that gorgeous guy, Griffy; he's a little honey for sure! |

| I used to. I work at a doggy daycare/kennel now. I do still groom my own girl though and she's actually not too bad. She went through a phase during adolescence where I wanted to just kill her, it was like trying to groom an octopus, but now she's a little obstinate and wiggly but it's not bad really.
