I do love working on yorkies, I did one today that looks like my Reggie. He was sweet, well behaved, smelled terrible but he was so happy after his bath! I just adored him! His woner was great too.
I just got so down after reading so many posts about the horrors of groomers. Groomers take so much that people have no idea, you need more patience then a saint, good reflexes like someone who works with electricty (or animals)...
I have yet to cut a dog or even nick but it is amazing! We are wielding sharop scissors and the dogs are fidgety, boubncing, licking, curious, shaky...argh! Amazing more accident don't happen.
I have no probelm when working on a nasty dog and the owner knows it is nasty and knows that they need to work WITH you...nad it happens. I witnessed yesterday a yorkie, who once needed to be muzzled before the owners got him in the car cause he would start then! But he was groomed yesterday with no muzzle. He tried to act up but was reminded with a stern voice to behave and voila! Wonderful behaviour, dog and the owner was tickled. SHe has been bringing him every 3 weeks to get used to the grooming. She take shim on a good walk before the grooming so he is tired...and it all works out. That was satisfying to see!
