Wow! Great thread!
I want to learn how to groom as well. At the same time, I am very nervous. I know practice makes perfect. However, I am scared to even practice! LOL!
I did pick up a book about Yorkies when I first purchased my Yorkiepoo. It has a section in there on grooming. Of course, it's very basic, but it may be enough to get me started if I can muster up the courage. (I am thinking that I might need to pick up a book on poodles b/c my pooch has very curly hair.) The book is called, "Your Happy Healthy Pet: Yorkshire Terrier," 2nd Edition by Marion Lane.
For those of you that groom, the book gives a list of supplies needed. Would you agree with this list:
-pin or bristle brush
-comb
-flea comb
-electric razor
(What kind? One specific for pets?)
-safety scissors
-small dog nail trimmer
-gauze (for cleaning teeth)
-ear powder
-pet shampoo
-pet coat conditioner
-rubber mat
-sponge
-spray attachment for the faucet
-cotton balls
-towels
-hair dryer
-small rubber bands
Anything else needed to get started? |
