I have very fine hair, and have to comb my hair in the shower while I have conditioner in or else I'll be knot-city when I get out of the shower (this is in addition to brushing before I get in shower.) Use a really think conditioner during bath time and try to use something like what Jacki mentioned while your pup still has conditioner in his hair. And definitely work from the end of the knot- not near the skin. I have no idea if this works on yorkies or not, but it works on my fine hair.
Olivia is much better about her grooming, but when she was difficult I would either groom her while she was standing on the toilet or on the counter. She would calm right down and sit still when she realized she had no where to go without her momma getting her down! I advise against this if you put Deegan up there and he still acts antsy so that he doesn't fall. |
