I don't groom Jackson myself, I take him somewhere, but I find he's more calm and relaxed if I exercise him a lot beforehand, that way he's tired. If they're really stressed out, there's natural herbs and products to give them such as Rescue Remedy. I think it's all a matter of just getting them used to it and using lots of treats. Take it slow and have patience!

Jackson was a mess too with puppy hair. I would brush it and it would never look neat and clean but I was so scared a groomer was gonna just shave him. I made it very specific I just wanted a trim and she did just that... except I don't think she cut enough on his 1st haircut lol but it was perfect, not too much shock or anything.

I keep him pretty short now. If you go to google and type in yorkie haircuts in the images search section, alot of cute pics come up!

Here was Jackson as a pup, first pic is puppy mess, 2nd pic is after haircut.
