I have started grooming yorkies after my girlfriend, who use to groom, taught me. ONe good trick is to use the dematter (careful though, it's sharP) and I try to comb them out in the tub with conditioner when they're wet. Mine still get matted around the collar area and harness area, if I keep them on them alot. I only use baby shampoo (Johnson's) and a light conditioner Hansen's has a nice cherry smelling one, that I leave on to comb out. Just keep getting them used to it. We had ours shaved once, and that was enough. I do keep them shorter in the summer, though. Good luck. Try the dematter!! |
