He looks so cute sitting there smiling at you. Ears are especially sensitive. I scissor them also. I wait until she is taking a nap on my lap and start snipping. The face was more of a battle. I don't do her face anymore. It is all grown out. When I use to trim the corner of her eyes with the scissors I would get her to sit on someone's lap and hold her chin hair very firmly so she could not turn her head. I used small round tipped scissors but you can't be too careful in that area. With the hair cut your guy has I would thing that using the clippers right on top of his nose up to above his eyes would work great.

I used a no. 1 attachment comb with it adjusted to the longer length on his body. I like when his hair is cut down short but didn't want to go crazy the first time. His hair grows really quick. Learning to do this on my own will save me a lot of money and time which is good.

I'll post another one tomorrow after i get the face and ears done.

hi , i am also a first timer.
I made a few boo boo's and ended up clipping my oscar all over
but i must say he looks really cute. I love it.
Your little one pretty good.
It just takes some practice.
I bought myself a yorkie grooming dvd to use next time.
I think you did a great job..

Before and after pics of my oscar...

You did fine. It will get easier for both of you as time goes by. Try to sit down with him in a day or two and work on his ears, since you wanted to do that. You might want to do his feet one time, his ears another, his face the next time, and then his body. As someone above said, they do get tired easily and it is easier on both of you not to try to do too much at one time.

I think you did a great first time! Going to be getting some clippers and grooming tools tomorrow to start doing it myself!

Looks good Since my mom adopted our yorkie Joe, I've taken charge of grooming him lol sometimes it works out well, other times not so much :P The problem is, once his body gets clipped down, his head looks too big lol so out come the scissors, and it's the fine tuning that seems to be hit or miss with me lol

Yes, he got jumpy at the feet and legs too, so I didn't do as much as i wanted there either. I didn't have time to do it today so going to do it tomorrow. I do want to do his ears because the perk right up as long as they aren't over loaded with fir. I was using clippers on his ears. I didn't even think to try scissors instead.
