I groom all three of my Yorkies myself. I think it helps that I started grooming my first Yorkie right after I got him and he's been getting a grooming session every week since. I also make sure to give them a yummy treat afterwards. In the beginning when they are puppies, I use treats during the grooming session as well, but those treats weren't quite so tasty as the jackpot treat AFTER grooming.
I used to hate doing their nails too! I was very scared that I would cut into the quick because my parents did that with me when I was a baby
. But I bought a proper nail clipper anyway, I spoke to breeders and other Yorkie owners I know and watched a lot of videos on Youtube. I needed to do it myself because I couldn't find a groomer that knew how to clip a Yorkie's coat and I like the special time with my dogs.
We're having a photoshoot this afternoon because Orio's (my little Biewer) breeder really wants to see photos of him. So, after I've had my coffee (it's 08h36 now) it's grooming time!
