It doesn't help that he's an energetic little guy, and no doubt pulls against the loop, pressing on his trachea more. Bottom line, I just don't want him to get hurt, or to suffer injury to his trachea due to grooming. He always chokes and coughs for days after a grooming trip.
So...for those of you who groom your own yorkies, what do I need to know? What tools will I need (to shave the area by his eyes and nose, and how do they clip the hair between their toes?)? Are there any videos or books you'd suggest? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
I recently bought this video because it was recommended as fairly good by a few others on YT.
