Another thing I like to add on the shampooing head part is that right after you put in the cotton balls go at it right away and get the head wet. Then lather the shampoo in your hands to create suds then quickly wash the head/ears/chin/neck and rinse off quickly. Then if you have the conditioner on the body then rinse that off and by this time he can shake his head all he wants since you're done with it. So you see he couldn't shake his head while it's getting washed. It's like a sneak tactic but it works

Yorkies hair is like ours so after a week or two it really needs a good shampoo and using a warm cloth is just not clean enough IMO.
