Doing your own grooming I haven't found any groomers around here, maybe just a few but I have not seen their work or had any feedback, I had a yorki poo before and I would take her to petsmart. After one certain visit when they refused to give me the cut I WANTED and I was PAYING FOR, I took my dog and left, never 2 return again! :cool: We then started to groom her ourselves at home. Now with Stormy, she came here with a very short cut. I let it grow and it was getting nice but then the vets groomer shaved her down :( It was very short on the face and for some reason the body hair was longer then the head hair and I hated it, so we shaved her body down. Now it's been two months almost since she had all her hair cut by the vet. Her face/head hair is starting to get longer, I am getting so excited! But should I "trim" the hairs? Would that make it grow faster? Before it took about 6 months for it to get long, it was just about the length I wanted it, not super super long. I am expecting by Christmas it would be the length I want, but not sure if I should just not cut it at all or trim it every so often. |
I groom mine myself, mostly because I like it and it's much cheaper. I would just trim the hair every so often to remove the dead tips. Other than that, just let it grow. I tried some different hairstyles with Cash and now we are letting it all grow long. I clipped his leg hair once and I used to keep his face short, but now everything is growing. Good luck. |
charlie has never been to the groomer. My husband trim his hair for me. NOw I started trimming charlie's hair myself with a pair of scissor. I like doing it myself b/c I can cut it anyway I like. |
With DH losing his job, and having 6 yorkies to groom :eek:, I'm really starting to think I need to groom myself to save those hard to come by $$. My question, how about the hygiene cuts? I have male and female babies, but just not sure about their little private areas. :rolleyes: Any tips would be appreciated.:p |
Hehe, this might get a bit explicit, but I will try to explain :) For Cash, I cut most of the hair off his pee-pee. Not all of it, but most. I leave about 1cm of hair. For June, I just trim the hair on her thingy ;). For the bum area, I lift up the tail and trim a circle of hair around the anus. I try to cut it as short as possible. I use scissors for all of this since shaving could hurt them. Mind you, I don't know if I am doing it correctly, but it works for us. Good luck. Ps. Sorry to hear that things are tough. Luckily, YT is free :p |
I LOVE grooming Tia myself , she is 11 mths old and I would NEVER take her to the groomers. Don't get me wrong I have never had a bad experience, I just don't trust any one enough. I would have missed out on so much fun too! From a pup she has quite easily layed across my lap while I snip away at her hair. Ok it doesn't always come out brill but hey , she trusts me and I can always stick an outfit on her until it grows lol. Seriously I enjoy Sunday evenings.Hair and nails/ ears/ eyes night.I call it girly night. |

Thanks, might need an extra pair of hands, but I think I'll give it a try! |
Self-Grooming Ever since Bogey went to two different groomers & I hated what they did, I decided I could do better than them. I just tackle a few things at a time. Ears & feet or poo hole & underside. They both stay perfectly still while I work with small scissors and are beautiful when I get finished!:thumbup: |
