I would be nervous too. I am lucky I can groom my own. I am Mobile and i have a local mobile friend who was a vet tech. She came over to remove ear stitches and bathe my pups while I videoed their 1st. She was very gentle. We did it in the kitchen sink. I also have another Friend who does in home grooming in clients' home. Doesn't even mind if they watch. That might be an option for some of you. I suggest the low stress Mobile way. Faster, no other scarey dogs, more personal, yadda, yadda. As for spring/summer trims. Tell the groomer you want the longest length snap on comb. It will be short but not shaved. Westie blended style heads are the same as Yorkie puppy trim heads. With all the members here I am surprised I am the 1 and only professional groomer on board. Mobile groomers don't cage dry. Shouldn't mind giving Yorkie references. No substitute for yrs of experience. There are thousands of good conscientious groomers in this world. I know many across the USA and even Scotland and Wales.
