Default How to groom a figety puppy?

Hi, this is my first post so if it should be under a different category, please let me know. I have a puppy that is just shy of 4 months. I got him at 12 weeks old and he's been with me now for over 3 weeks. The breeder shaved the tips of his ears and trimmed the hair around his paws and potty area, but it's grown back so quickly. I bought small rounded pointed pair of scissors, a gentle puppy brush and comb but I can barely use them on him. He absolutely hates being groomed. I watched videos of nail trimming and read up on them so I managed to clip one paw without causing any injury but that alone took 2 whole string cheese packets! I am too scared to take him to a professional groomer because he's so figety and I don't want him to get hurt. I see pictures of perfectly groomed puppies his age and short of drugging the poor little guy (which I would never do), I don't know how others are able to get their yorkie puppy to look so good. Is there a certain brand of hair clipper anyone can recommend? How do you trim a yorkie puppy that will bite and squirm as soon as he sees a comb? Thanks in advance.
