How sad. Ellie has never been to a groomer because I don't trust any of them. I just cut her hair myself. It is not professional but Ellie's hair doesn't part in the middle like most Yorkies anyway so it isn't a Yorkie cut. I just put my index and middle finger on her skin and pull her hair up through them. I cut the hair on top of my fingers so it is all the same length (about a centimeter) and is uniform. It works quite well for me except her face looks a little weird but oh well. It is better than putting her through all the stress of a groomer. If I ever had to take her to a groomer I would insist on watching the entire process every time. That includes the bath. She would also be hand dried. It would make me very suspicious if they tried to hide any part of the process. I don't even trust the places with the windows because you probably can't hear behing them. What if your dog was hurt and crying? You would never know. I just let Ellie be scraggily and I am happy with that.
