His hair on his back was even but when I to to his shoulders it is uneven. Also do you use the shaver on their legs? I found that difficult and ended up using scissors? I am wondering if investing in a grooming table with an arm would make it easier. That way I could get him to Stand instead of laying down. Not to mention I can't get Chance (the puppy) to be still when I am trying to groom him. He wants to sniff the scissors and clippers.
Since you're having difficulty, it might be benificial to invest in a grooming table (PetEdge.com has reasonably priced ones) & a grooming arm (prefer the ones that you can fold away from you when not in use (cherrybrook.com), but the best thing you might to get is the double loop noose (petedge.com too). one goes over neck and the other goes around the body, keeps them in place better. I groom dogs, I prefer not to shave yorkie legs and use scissors & thinning shears.
