I use the kitchen hose for the back part of her head but use a cup for the beard area.

this method works well for me and has for years it also helps keep their little face straight so you can avoid getting water in ears and nose.

hope this helps a bit

I guess we yorkie mamas are all alike lol...this is, exactly, what I've been doing too...Apple is a wiggler, but Buzz & Cha Cha are very cooperative...Thanks!

Again, Bonnie, I did the same thing you did w/the Minksheen (up to the back of the head)...I guess I might just keep doing, what I'm doing, but I sure wanted their little head and faces to smell like Minksheen...The earthbath is nice, but doesn't last as long as the fragrance of Minksheen....MS smells yummy!...Thanks Bonnie!
