| Grooming Question So my yorkie is now 10 months old and I have never taken her to the groomer..I know it's crazy, but I have read so many horror stories about them that I am terrified something will happen...so I give her my own little trims myself!! My question is...if she has a super sensitive throat, do the groomers have a different kind of collar they can put on her to keep her in place other than that one that goes right around the throat to hold her head up?? Need some reassurance..I am a scared mommy!! |

| Groomers don't place the loop on the throat when they are grooming a dog . |

| The little rope groomers use go up under the jaw, not the throat, but if your not comfortable at that thought, then look on the net for information on grooming. If you want her to be in a long coat, then the grooming will be a snap to do since it will be just the ears and pads. Mine have never been to a groomer. I'm always trying out different cuts on them. |

| I do both of my puppies. I'm afraid the groomer will hurt them. I bought some clippers and every time I bathe them, I turn those suckers on and take a little hair off the dogs. They're getting use to it now. It was very hard at first, but I persevered. I didn't want to spend all that money too. I've kept them short this winter. They love to run and play in the grass. Unfortunately, tick season is right around the corner and I won't let them outside again till Nov. so I'm going to grow it long. It should be interesting. Also, don't forget to take the hair out of their ears. I use tweezers. I bought some ear cleaner and I use that too. My very small male had an ear infection when I got him and it scared me. I also take a paper towel and squeeze their anal gland. Hope this helps. |

| I have a round turntable I bought from petedge. it has an adjustable loop, and I use it around sawyers tummy to hold him still. I can make it longer or shorter if I want him to lie down while I do his face and nails. It was only 30 dollars, and I love it.
