I have owned a grooming salon for 8 years now and have groomed dog (most of them yorkies) for the past 10 years. I have heard stories like this all the time from clients. All thought it is not uncommon to hold the hair on the chin for control while you scissor you would never shake them. You wait until the dog calm's down, then you go back to scissoring. If that don't work then ask the owner to leave for a few minutes until you finish. If that doesn't help then just do the best you can!! But above all you never hurt or stress the dog.
I personal would never never ever take any of my yorkies or any dog to PETCO OR PETSMART!!! Find a small grooming salon you will get better care and service there!!

As far as grooming the yorkies at home it is easy and if you want to PM me I can give you many many tips. Yorkies are my thing. I think I do more yorkies then any other breed. But I will help out as much as I can....
Sorry You had such bad luck at those places...
