| Maddie's going to a groomer... I have only taken Maddie to be groomed twice and both times she was such a stinker. The last time the groomer was at her wits end and said Maddie turned into the Tazmanian Devil and she was no longer welcome back there. I decided I'm not putting Maddie or another groomer through that, so I've been doing her myself. The other day at the pet store, I talked to a groomer that had groomed Maddie's brother and did such a nice job. I told her I didn't think Maddie would cooperate, and the groomer took Maddie back and tried clipping just a bit on her private area and said she had no problem. So...I have made an appointment for Thursday and I'm nervous. After reading the grooming horror stories on YT, I just worry! I want her to have her same look, but just get trimmed up a bit. I will bathe her on Thursday and have her clean and brushed so she doesn't have to be bathed there and freak out under their high powered dryers. Maybe I'm being over protective, but I want the least amount of stress for Maddie. I will let you know how it goes...and post pics! Wish me luck! *nervous smile*

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Oh Connie...I wish you all the best - it's too bad when a groomer says someone isn't welcome there anymore... but hey - they may need to rethink their bedside manner .....many times it's the GROOMER not the yorkie - I have a friend who had trouble and when she switched groomers ...that all stopped. I know some dogs really can be terrified ....but I also believe the right person/groomer can help them overcome their fears. GOOD LUCK I bet the new groomer has better luck |

| I know you are nervous and so was I! I had been putting Chloes off for so long bc I was afraid that she would be horrible to groom! I guess she acted pretty mad towards the groomer but the groomer said that she got over it...lol! I just told her that I want JUST A TRIM! And she understood me! I was so pleased! I hope that everything turns out ok and I am sure that Maddie will look beautiful no matter what!

| Totally understand, Connie! Good luck to you and Maddie. Give her a hug from us when you drop her off. Sounds like you have met a very good groomer, so everything will be fine! Don't forget to post pictures!

| Maddie always looks so well groomed! Not only do you make beautiful clothes, your apparently a pretty good do-it-yourselfer groomer. Good luck to you and Maddie, sounds like you found a good groomer! I can't wait to see pics!
