| At home grooming? I'm about ready to pick up my new pup and was curious how easy or difficult it will be to groom her myself. I want to keep her hair short. Do I just use regular hair clippers? Any tips/suggestions? Paying someone to do it isn't a likly scenario... thanks!

| The DVD I use is one made by SueNCricket 2 and I find it an excellent video. She shows you how to groom your Yorkie as well as bathing, ear cleaning, nails, anal glands etc. Her website is Crown Royal Yorkshire Terriers. I highly recommend this Dvd. Good luck with your new furbaby! Luv Yvonne xxx Last edited by Franceen; 08-16-2008 at 12:44 PM. |

| Seeing Marci's videos of her grooming Layla got us motivated and thinking we could it as well! Then we bought Sue's DVD, which is excellent! It's really because of these two that we started grooming Wrigley and Camden at home! We are FAR from perfect, but we figure in a year or so they will look great again! We bought everything that Sue's video recommended from Petedge!

| Duhhh Duhhh, I just learned something here. I never noticed the section on grooming and the tutorials. Great! I also bought the DVD, and will do Tiki's grooming, now that she has had one "professional" one.
