| Grooming Hi, I'm new to the boards and this is my first time posting. I've enjoyed all the pics and post. I'm having a really tough time with groomers doing a good job. IF I find a good one, they soon get sloppy. I am so put out with spending anywhere between $35-$40 every six weeks for a sloppy job. He has the Teddy Bear cut and half the time I have to either shape up his face, trim at least two of his paws or trim someplace else. I live in the Charlotte, NC area and any tips is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shirl ps.. I hope I can find this thread again. LOL! |

| Grooming, How much do you pay Because you do it yourself. I use to be a cosmetologist but can't groom a Yorkie.

| I paid 45 $. It was 10 $ more than usually because this time I asked to cut a little shorter. |

| I pay $35 to have A.J groomed. It's nice to see that it seems to be the average. I was wondering if maybe I was paying more since it's the only place in town.

| I took Brooke to a new groomer that my vet recommended and I didn't even ask how much it was. She has a long coat and I just wanted a trim. I should have known when I dropped her off and they said, "Is Brooke ready for her SPA day?" When I picked her up she looked cute but about the same as when I wash her and trim her and she had a cheap bow in her hair. Then they said it's $60!! I hope she got a whirlpool bath and a foot massage for that price!! But it is California!

| [QUOTE]I use to be a cosmetologist but can't groom a Yorkie. I use to be a cosmetologist also and it's a whole different ballgame when grooming a yorkie. But I'm still working on it some. I trimmed his face last week and it looks better than the last time he was groomed. Deep down I think that might have been the last time. He's on phenobarbital now and as most of you know one of the side effects is extreme thirst. At some point I may have to take him in but not if I can help it. It's back to the vet (3 wks.) for him today plus he has to have all shots. My poor baby!

Although I like the long hair look I prefer the shorter. We do the same as you, wash his face every time he eats. I'll try to get a picture of his face. Every time I pick up the camera, he turns his head.

| I just uploaded another picture of Scootie but it's still not to my liking. How do you guys get such good close ups? Must be my camera. It's only 4.0 and for my birthday I'm asking for a better one. Another birthday? Yikes!

| Thank you very much. I can't believe how fast time flies after you retire. I thought the days would really drag by. I guess Scooter and I are just having too much fun!

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I've paid $35-45 a couple of times and that was enough!! So, now I do it myself. It is always a work in progress to do better. LOL!!!
