When I see the yorkie grooming on youtube the dog is always perfectly still through the entire thing! How do I teach her this? I know this is way to young to expect this great behavior, but I think I should at least begin teaching her.
Also, I have not started brushing her teeth yet, but I do have her toothbrush and puppy toothpaste. Any suggestions on how to tackle this one too?

I have the same problem with Hollee. As I try to put her clip in she jerks her head down or to the side so fast I have no chance. She is almost 5mths. I make a practice of stroking her head and bringing her hair up into a little tail on top when she is on my lap relaxing. She doesn't mind this. I thought it would help get her used to me fiddling with her hair. But so far not getting anywhere. I have just ordered her some new bows so would love her wear them when they arrive.
