I think I am going to try though. Last time she was at the vet she actually threw up on the way home. (My creative imagination convinced me that the dogs in there yelping were telling her all kinds of horror stories...LOL She had never been nervous or scared there before.)
She's also never been car sick before so I do think it was nerves or something from going to the vet. Our vet is wonderful and so sweet with her but she still seemed a tad distressed about the whole experience. Of course, she did get shots then, too.
I love our groomer, too, but I don't want her there again until she's spayed since our groomer does not do the kennel cages. I actually prefer how she does it but since our little girl is getting spayed in late September, I'd rather not risk any "exposure" to the male gender....especially since Taffy's mother is too inexperienced to recognize the minor symptoms of her being in heat. |
You've got some good tips there. But, keep in mind very few yorkies like their nails clipped. I find that doing it while they're in the tub is easier.
Today I had a yorkie that I bred come in for a groom. I forgot to clip his nails in the tub. So, I had my husband come in and rub his head, while I clipped them while he was in my lap. He didn't make a sound, didn't pull or fight me. I turned and said to my husband, I think his mom switched him, cause he's not one of my breeding, none of my dogs behave this well.
