Obviously ask for the cost. You should find out if the cut you want for your Yorkie is one the grooomer is familiar with.
Does the grooming include - nails, ears, cleaning teeth? Trimming of Pads.
Does your dog have any special needs? ie: sensitive skin - hypoallergenic products?
If your dog is unfamiliar with blow dryers, nail trimming, sound of a clipper, etc, you will want to let the groomer know this.
State your needs very clearly. If this is a show puppy then make that very clear. If you have a certain cut in mind, you might also like to take a picture with you.
That's all I can think of for now

Thanks for the great advice. Cooper is not a show dog, although I think he is the best looking Yorkie around. (I'm only a little biased. lol)
Taking a pic is a great idea. I've even done this with my own hair stylist.
Thanks again. I really appreciate it.
