I do my own grooming. I took basic dog grooming and advanced dog grooming courses at the local vo-tech school. :) |
I do my own, its my favorite part and I have lots of fun. I learn by reading books getting tips and secrest from other and by doing everything myself on a trial and error basis. :animal36 |
So far I am doing it all on my own.... And I am really enjoying it! Most of it that is.... Hubby is helping a bit when pixie decided that she wants to test me... She has figured out that I mean business and that when she fights me, I always win! :D Its awesome... Its really deepened our relationship I think... Is that silly? I really do think so. She has alot of respect for me, and knows that I mean no harm, she even looks forward to our grooming time now. She is not yet excited about nail clipping time, but brushing and using the clippers on her ears, she loves! She even lets me shave inbetween the pads of her paws. I hope that as her coat grows I will learn how to care for it. I know that each stage of growth will present a new set of challenges... I will be PM'ing "you know who" :aimeeyork The Amazing Spy Girls :aimeeyork Groomer for tips and tricks when that time comes! |
I do mine myself as well. I groomed dogs for a while. I alway felt that the first bath is the most important so you don't scare them for life. I can't get near them with the clippers. I tried to do his ears but he snaps up his head. I think I cut his tongne. There was blood but I could see any other than in his mouth. He wants to lick the clippers. I tried just putting it near his head and he kinda closes his eyes but as soon as I get near his ears, he snaps up and I can't do it. I gave up. I love bath time though. |
My daughter does my two, But now that she has a new job, I have been doing them. :eek: |
I do Alfie and Lottie and my mums dog pebbles, I got some tips from my hairdresser! It has been a trial and error but I suppose we have done alright. |

Well I don't know anything about dog grooming. Any suggestions on where to start. Any suggestions for a good book or video- Iam a visual person and need pictures :D . what kind of clipper to use and how to get your dog to stay still :p . I looked on line to see if I could find a class and could not but I would be willing to invest in a good video or book. Help please. Chris |
Ok I have a question about self grooming... I know how to buzz his backside but what about his private area.. do I trim that as well or do I need to leave it for protection... :animal36 |
I Taught Myself I do my own. I've never taken one to the groomer. I do the light trimming regularly as needed, and in the past on my other yorkies, I did my own version of the puppy cut a couple of times a year. I just use a scissors and trim it at finger depth all over. The first couple of times it looked pretty choppy, but I got better at it. I pick a nice day and do it outside on the picnic table. |
Ummm... I just did a post in My Yorkie on who does the grooming of little Matthias.... check under "Secret Identity Revealed".... |
