Too much hair! Do you trim around feet? 1 Attachment(s) Gunner has so much coat. How do you trim them. I want to keep his coat for now, but the hair around his feet is turning under when he walks. Do you trim around the feet? I know to do the hair on his pads. I know it is a terrible photo, I used my phone. |
Gunner is precious!!! I keep my girls' feet clipped short, but then again, how else am I going to polish those toenails!?! |
I have the hair on Busters pads trimmed every time he is groomed. http://www.animalbehaviorcollege.com...kpeeksage4.pdf Gunner is very handsome! |
Yes the hair on my girls feet are kept rounded. |
Gunner is adorable! Great link, Carolyn. I trim the leg hair that hangs around the paw short enough so that it cannot wrap under the paw. Then I use a small trimmer to shave carefully in between the pads. Max and Teddy's paw hair has increased with age, so it requires weekly trimming. |

You can do it 2 ways: you can either cut from the topside, or if he is fidgety and you are unsure, you can wrap your fingers around the leg close to the foot, holding the hair in place. Then, bend his leg so that you are looking down on the paw pads, and trim around the edges. |

The only good grooming videos for full coat Yorkies that I have heard of are by one of the top Yorkie show handlers. They are $$$. I decided I do a good enough job for my pets, learning through trial and error. When Max was a pup, I shaved his feet! Then I decided I didn't like that look on him. Seemed to take forever to grow out. |
I trim around Yoda's feet, trim his nails, and trim the hair between his paws. We both get better at it every time - I get better at making it look nice, and he gets better at letting me do it. Just did it over the weekend, and it's not bad! |
Thanks all. I am going to try again tomorrow. Maximo, one day soon I will have to order some grooming spray from you. We've been on a bit of a budget lately, lots of things falling apart in the home that need to be fixed. I ordered some whitening shampoo from Amazon, completely useless. I had Isle of Dog but I ran out. I wish there were something that make his coat change from cotton to silk! Or at least make it lay down nicely? I wanted to get a buddy belt too, but my hands cannot buckle or do anything small, my fingers hurt too much. So, I have to find something without clasps or buckles for him. |

I now leave it to my groomer. I went to shave between the pads but my tiny shaver was not working so I used one to big and ended up making her paw bleed. She got spoiled a lot and doesn't seem to be scarred for life but I am! |
