1. How many of you cut your own Yorkie's nails? I do my own plus I do them for other people that have problems at the vet and at the groomers.

2. How do you do it? It all depends on the dog that I am doing. Phoebe would lie in my lap on her back and I would do all 20. My friends doxy sits on my lap while I do the front 10 and she holds her while I do back 10. Samething with the chi.

3. How do you keep your Yorkie still!!?? She would just lie there and hold her paw up. Kinda of a OK, if I am real still can you just get this over with, because then I get my nail polish.

4. What kind of nail clippers/scissors do you use? I use a pair that the handle is black plastic and maybe would be in the same postition as a pair of pliers.Same kind that the vets use. But what ever you do DO NOT use the guitien kind those squeeze the nail rather that cute it through.

5. How often do you cut them? Depends on the fur baby. Phoebe usually every 2 weeks. My goal was weekly but usually ended up 2 weeks.
