I now groom both yorkie and SHih tzu pup myself. Actually my Yorkie , Suzi is a lot easoer to groom then my Tzu . Maybe it is because she is younger then Suzi , I do not know.
I am no expert , but, my father gave me a grooming table which I love . I also have cippers and blow dryer. I use a conditioning spray after their bathed , the blow their hair . I just groomed miely my tzu yesterday. She was pretty good too. Keeping up with the grooming and doing it yourself creates a closer bond between u and your dog, that is what I think.
I had to shave down Suzi a few nonths ago , and did an ideal job on her, it was not easy because she was matted due to my niece bathing her and not keeping up with the grooming when I was hospitalized.
I enoy placing pony tails or top knots on the hair, but the top knots can be tricky with a dog who won't hold still.
I am so proud of myself for doing the grooming myself. It saves the stress of being and going to a groomer, in a cage, and the car ride, + the amount of money spent.
It is rather fun to groom them yourself, especially if u have more then one high end , dog that requires lots of grooming.
