you need to hold her until she relaxes, it can take 5-10 minutes, even longer in some situations. you can try to muzzle her if you must, but i dont recomend it, maybe put on a jean jacket to prevent problems on your arms.

start slowly with the nail clipping, and finish all the nails, then praise, praise, praise. hair grooming, needs to be done regularly on a yorkie, so you need to work on it. my yorkie hated the brush at first as well. we used a brush that was black with tons of small brisltes on it, and used it, he actually liked it. it doesnt really brush very well, but it can get them accustomed to the motions.
