It's easy to groom them--just takes a little practice. There are MANY amazing videos on youtube. Just type in "how to groom yorkies". I learned from watching the videos and my studying pictures of yorkies haircuts that I liked.
1. Buy a good quality clipper---good for feet, sanitary area and ears
2. Buy a good set of human hair scissors
3. Comb
Start by taking a little off at a time...you can always take more---but, can't glue it back on.
Also---think vertical on the body---trm in vertical sections vs. horizontal...or you get a shelf of hair--not attractive! Some people use clippers all over the body--with a guard set to the length they want the coat. I use scissors and fake it---think aveda hairstylist! Trim their ears in an inverted v...feet trim between the pads---and the hair on top should not go past the feet on the floor.
There's more tips--just watch videos and look at magazines for pctures you like! It gets better every time! |
