We do sink baths. I just got a second Yorkie puppy a few months ago. I have one that hates any grooming or attention like that. Cassie, the new one doesn't much care for the routine but is easier than Dezi, the 5 year old. Cassie is not fond of the drying. It seems to scare her. Dezi isn't scared but HATES her front paws being brushed. I am the only one that does this unpopular stuff and when they run to my husband to get away from me, it breaks my heart! Since he only plays with them, he never picks stuff out of their eyes or off their butts. I was bringing Dezi to get bathed by a groomer, (I am the only one who cuts their hair) it seemed to be better between her and I. But I know they don't take the time I do to calmly brush her. I either let her suffer by letting someone else do it or I suffer by saving her and sacrifice the bond she has with me for days after.
