I used to have just one groomer work on my dogs, as Buttons is skittish with new folks, and she had been doing her hair since her first puppy cut. I took Yogi to her as well, and she would have them both done in about an hour & a half.

Last couple times tho, a new girl did Yogi, & she said he "developed a fear of the dryer, actually attacking it, so the 1 & a half hour trip to the groomers turns into a 7 hour thing. She stated he has to air dry now....I can't stand the 7 hours that he is there & recently purchased grooming tools off ebay. They have yet to arrive, but I'm an intelligent person, & figure I can figure it out. I have also been eye-balling that How to groom your Yorkie dvd on ebay as well. I plan on grooming them myself from here on out, and that was before I read the OP's thread this morning. Call me a worry-wart if you want, but that 7 hours is stressful on both me & the dogs!
