I don't even take mine for nail cuts anymore because they use the same clippers, combs, table and all without ever disinfecting them after each use. (I now use a very coarse emery board)
You should just invest in a grooming book, good scissors and clipper with a couple different blades, and do your own grooming.
I think I will!! I always cut her hair on my own and was so excited to finally get her to a groomer..I even bought a picture in of a cut that I liked..I have no idea what this lady was thinking...its so bad...and for some reason my camera is not connecting to my computer otherwise I would show you the pics... Probably better not too...Reese would be so embarrassed!!! I have never seen any cut on a yorkie like this...her body isnt that bad..its her head and face!! SO SHORT
So, can anyone please recommend a book or video that I can watch to learn how to tip her ears (which the groomer was supossed to do, but SHAVED THEM COMPLETELY!!) and how to cut her the right way...
Also, any tools I need to get..I am never trusting her to anyone ever again..
she still hasnt gotten off my lap..I feel so bad!!! I think she knows how silly she looks...
