I agree with the others, get shots completed first. I choose to groom my Yorkie at home to keep the costs down and have invested in trimming shears, clippers and already had regular shears. I figure why not train myself now (Jellybean is only 19 weeks old) and that way I can have it done at our convenience.
At 19 weeks, I have done coat trimming twice already. Not too short yet, although it is warm where I live, I want to keep his baby hair color as long as I possibly can. The grooming training is going well. We take breaks if he seems that the session has gone on too long and breaking it into smaller sessions seems to help.
I have read that if you do take them to a groomer, it is suggested that you take them in just to get them familiar with the sights and sounds beforehand. Check with your groomer for their standard of practices. Welcome to YT and congratulations on your new family member! |
