I agree with all the above advise, as a retired hairdresser I must say I cannot imagine what my hair would be like if I went even a day without brushing it. A yorkie has hair much like ours and needs daily grooming. Also be sure you brush out all the tangles before the bath. I also agree that a yorkie as with any dog needs to be included with the family. If we adopted a child I am sure we would not put them in a different room while we did our family things. Good luck
