Donating YT 30K Club Member | Once I had 3 and now 4 I had to learn to groom myself. I keep mine in long coats so it is mostly washing, brushing and trimming. I just did trial and error, figuring hair will grow back. I have a grooming stand, good brushes and combs, a small trimmer for their ears and a nail trimmer. I don;t know how to use a regular trimmer on their bodies so I can't offer any advice on that. I know others will have some good advice for you.

| I bought a cd a couple of years ago and watched it at least 20 times before I dared. lol It's been almost 3 years and I think I do okay. Just got a compliment from the vet today as a matter of fact. lol I say to myself, "it will grow back". lol. I like doing it as it's a bonding time as well. I enjoy it. I do take them to get their nails and glands done tho. The place I used to take Hot Rod to does nails several times a week and glands for like $3 a dog-total!!! Can't beat that and a ton of people go for it as well. Good luck, I think you will enjoy it.

| I also need grooming tips. I now have 4 yorkies and can't afford to take them to be groomed. Worried about getting them to stand still.

| Youtube has several very helpful videos. I've always groomed my dogs. Scooter is so helpful when I trim his face. He squeezes his eyes shut.
