My Phoebe is now 4 months old, this is my first Yorkie... I have had Cavaliers for the last 10+ years (still have my 4 1/2 year old girl I bred). Anyway, Phoebe
HATES to be brushed and to have her nails clipped!! I've not experienced this before and when I took her to the groomers yesterday, they had to shave some areas due to matting.

I felt so bad and was also embarrassed, as I consider myself a dog person! The groomer explained to me that I can't bathe her until all mats have been brushed out (which I didn't know, so I made the problem worse); but Phoebe has a melt down when I brush her. I'm normally very good at being the
Head Bitch, but am having a hard time restraining this tiny dog... any suggestions would be very much appreciated!!
