I adopted Cody when he was 2 1/2 y/o from my vet. I don't know if his prev.owner had him groomed. When I got him the vet had him shaved with just face styled. I took him in June for his first puppy clip, this is a new groomer for me, my neighbor has 2 yorkies that are always so well groomed, reason I choose to use them. From what this groomer told me, he was fidgety for the grooming so his face was a bit uneven when it came time for nail trim he was not a good boy at all, she was able to cut his nails but didn't buff them because he was getting to stressed out. I believe in time if I continue with this same groomer, he will begin to trust her and will be more comfortable with her. I use to trim my girls nails until one day I made one nail bleed, that was the end of home nail clipping for me. Their nails are black, hard to see were the vain is, I would rather pay the cost, then freak out if I should make them bleed. With my girls I did as you do,sat in the chair, lay them on their backs, I had a good view of their nails, until that accident. Good luck
