I would like for keely to have a trim bi monthly how do i make sure its even? I dont want to groom her and making a total slaughter out of it..lol. I have cut the hair around the eyes myself and it worked out great. Oh, And, the hair inside her ears need to be plucked out, what is the right way to do that? (She needs it done because she is proned to ear infections and doing this helps keep them under control) .. Any advice you can give me will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance! |
Being a Groomer for over the last 10 years I would plead that you dont use clippers until youve had someone train you regarding grooming. Yorkies have VERY thin skin and it can EASILY get caught in the blades if you have a matt anywhere.
The only advice I can give is to make SURE you brush ALL the hair out completely before you ever bathe your Yorkie (or ANY dog, cat...etc) because if you bathe with matts in, they will be cemented in and in a case like that PLEASE dont attempt to shave them out, get experienced help.
