This time will be easier since he is pretty good about being groomed now. I am going to try it the way you explained it, shouldn't be too hard. There are no YouTube videos on how to groom a coated yorkie, just shaving them down. I checked out your two babies, beautiful! That was the kind of coat I wanted when I got Gunner, yikes!
Thank you for the compliment on Max and Teddy.

The only good grooming videos for full coat Yorkies that I have heard of are by one of the top Yorkie show handlers. They are $$$. I decided I do a good enough job for my pets, learning through trial and error. When Max was a pup, I shaved his feet! Then I decided I didn't like that look on him. Seemed to take forever to grow out.
