Chloe is 4 months old and right now I am in the process of growing out her topknot and her hair. The only problem is that everything is a little uneven right now and for example, the hair on her paw area has grown farther than her nails. I have recently bought nail clippers and I tried to clip her nails but only managed to do 1 paw because she was fidgety and I was scared of accidentally hurting her with all that fidgeting. I have been reading about groomers and how they don't actually listen to what you ask of them. I don't want to grow her top knot and end up having it cut off by a groomer! So, my question is, what do I need to do to keep my fur baby looking groomed and clean? Do you trim your little ones hair by yourself or do you leave that for a groomer to do? I want to attempt to groom chloe by myself but if it's very hard to do then I'll let it grow for a groomer to do it. I'm just very paranoid about letting a stranger touch her though, she's very fidgety

Also, if you do take your yorkie to a groomer, at what age did you start taking them? Help on this grooming situation would be appreciated, thank you!
