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! |
I bought the How to groom your Yorkie DVD and it is good. I bought from the seller who has a different DVD for each small breed and there aer about 3 different covers for the Yorkie one, but they are all the same. I emailed and asked. It shows how to pull the hair from their ears and clip their nails without quicking and espress their anal glands and how to look for anything that might be wrong or disease starting in any areas. It is well worth the money. They have a support website, too, and answer emails almost immediately. Oh, and I am not affiliated with them in any way, just a happy customer so far.
