I am almost 4 years into yorkie ownership and am still working on the perfect grooming process. We sometimes get haircut on the deck sometime standing on the bed over a bunch of towels, and sometimes the chase around the house is on. I just got a grooming table yesterday and am looking forward to the grooming process for the first time in a long time. the difference between mine and yours is mine is badly behaved for me but perfect at the groomers while yours does not like the groomer for obvious reasons, and I want to groom mine at home and you want to send yours to the groomer what a quandary!!
