Teeth Does anyone groom their own dog? Summertime question!

Hi guys.

Last time I brought Poppy in to be groomed, she came out almost completely shaved.

I cried my eyes out. Now she has enough hair that she is fluffy again but she needs her face trimmed and her nails trimmed.

I am terrified to come at her with scissors. I bought thinning scissors from the pet store then regretted that decision. I always trim the hair around her bum, I'm sure you all know why with Yorkies...I'm just terrified to go near her with scissors.

Being that it's summertime, do you guys keep Yorkies shorter than usual? Am I being selfish wanting her to have more hair? If she is going to be uncomfortable, I'll just have her cut short again. I keep putting off this decision and the hair is dripping in her eyes.


I've looked up grooming videos on youtube and it looks easy, yet complicated.
