This is why I cut my dogs hair myself. I might not do the best job, but I am learning. Poor Teek is the guinea pig that I learn on though.

Haha poor Teek! We trimmed Teddy's "eyebrow" and it took 3 people to hold him and it looked a little bad but then a few weeks later he got groomed so it's ok!

[JadeD]

I just set Teek on a chair and start working and he never moves. I pick him up and turn him to the side and he never moves. I pick him up and put his back end toward me with his face toward the back of the chair and he just stands there. I turn him back to the side and he just stands there while I work. He lets me work on him for as long as I want to. He is such a good boy!

I trimmed his hair under his arms, between his legs, his backside got a huge trim. I also trimmed his skirt so he isn't peeing in it as much. He doesn't look bad at all. I was quite happy with how it turned out for my first time really trimming him.

That's good! I get complaints from everyone who's cut Ted hair on how much he tests them! The unprofessional groomer said he bit her and that's why she missed a few pieces and basically lectured me on getting his haircut more often (he was 6 months having his first major cut) then the nicer groomer we had to day said he was a bit nippy but didn't like his face touched mainly was her only problems with him! He's always on the run so grooming is bottom on things he likes (I think the vet might be 1 level above it that's how bad he hates grooming!)

Do you brush him often? We brush the puppies a lot, even though they really don't need it much.

My 17th year old gave the puppies bath's today and then brushed them out nicely. Rowan still looks like he was just brushed. Raksha's lasted about 5 minutes. LOL

We have been brushing them several times a week since we brought them home to get them used to stuff like that. They are really laid back anyway though and don't fuss too much.

Now if you try to brush Teek's teeth, well that isn't going to happen again! I ended up with a 7 lb Yorkie on my head and scratches going from lap up to my head where he got there in about 2 seconds flat. That was a disaster and the only time I have ever seen that dog get upset about anything.

We are working with the puppies though so hopefully they won't be like that.

That's a big size! I was raised with big dogs so I'm more interested in the bigger yorkies

I brush Teddy daily! He seems to hate it unless I bribe with Cheetos and I haven't attempted brushing his teeth...

Brushing hair is a must everyday. They need to stay use to the handling and the grooming is good for them. There teeth should be brushed everyday also. Even if its not very good at first and just a few seconds. After a few months you can give good brushing. Its important for their health. You are either going to brush them now or have them pulled later. Cheetos aren't a good snack for Yorkies. Should try something made for dogs or fresh veggies. In the long run your dog will be healthier.

Yea I'm trying to get money for teeth brushing supplies while researching what to use...as for brushing we do that at least once a day unless I have to take him to my grandmas. He used to be healthy eater until she took him for a few months so now I limit his junk food intake! What healthy snacks could I use to replace it?

[sophie31]

One year old and just under three pounds . But yorkie's come in all sizes just like people lol
