I lift the top hair and make sure that I get the little mats that are underneath. I brush mine from the bottom and go up with a pin brush that has no balls on the end. I always try very hard not to touch their skin as it can damage the skin or make it irritated. Keeping them in a full coat is a little extra work but so worth it as they glide across the room. I was also told never to brush them dry. So I use a little of cowboy magic mixed with water and lightly spray the coat and it helps keep him shiney and silky. I brush our maltese the same way but it takes me a lot longer as her hair is so much thicker. I actually have four different size pin brushes for brushing around the different areas like around their face. The little brush doesn't look so intimidating as I brush their beards and mustaches. LOL I very sledom use the slicker brush that was given me when I bought the yorkie. I just work hard at keeping them brushed every day and that reduces my time and their having to sit still.
