I would also reccomend to brush your yorkie every single day.
One of my Yorkie I would have to brush 2 times a day to keep him tidy but my little Mandla I only have to brush 1 time a day. It all depends on what kind of coat they have.
So at least 1 time a day can go for every coat type.
It is also important to keep the coat clean. A dirty coat will tangle more.
If you bathe and blowdry your Yorkie once a week it will make a lot of diffirence. Bathe more often if neccisary.
a)But
before you bathe, be sure to
groom all the knots and tangles out of the coat because if you bathe the dog with the knots and tangles it will become worse.
b)If it is too difficult to brush the knots and tangles out before the bath it is possible to also brush the knots and tangls out in the bath if you put a lot of conditioner in the coat and then brush it. After you have brushed him then rinse and then blowdry.
But I prefer to use method a) probably because my dogs never get that matted that I have to use method b).
Also, the coat often seems to tangle less if you always blowdry the coat after bath.
But make sure not too use to hot air, it can burn them. I often ajust my blowdryer to Cold Air before I use it on my dogs.
And the last thing, use a good conditioner! It can make all the diffirence.
I use Bigroom Silk on puppies but on dogs with long coat I use #1 All System Bitonical Conditioner, it is much better but also more expensive.
Yorkie owners, I know, that have trouble with tangling coats in their Yorkie have starte to use #1 All system conditioner and the coat then tangles alot less.
Edited: For got to mention, it is also good to use something like Biogroom Anytime Coat Care, Leave in Moisturizer, when you brush the coat. It helpst keep the tangles away and also conditions the coat.
There may also be other brands that you can use but this is what I have found to work the best with my Yorkies
