Comb the hair on the leg out straight and then trim with scissors. The special scissors will be super, super sharp so be careful not to catch pup or yourself with them. (They have a soft pad that grows high on the rear of each leg. Be careful to never cut that)

Then, with Hugo standing, fold his paws one at a time up behind him like a "J" and trim between the pads. Be very, very, very careful and don't get hair too short. Just cut enough that he won't slide on slick floors. Dogs are very sensative on their pads so he may pull his pad away. Plan on cutting one little piece of hair each time before he pulls it away. Just take his leg back. He will come to trust you as long as you don't nick him. I suggest you have some Quik Stop ready each time you pull out those scissors.

This is what works for me and I have 4 Yorkies.
Love the name Hugo, as that is what my son named his Yorkie!
Thanks for the information! I found it very useful! pics are up of HUGO!
