| You did an awesome job on both dogs! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the tip on the little grooming table. I'm definitely looking into that.

| You did a fantastic job! Can't wait to tackle Scooter! Everything but his nails of course. I'll leave that for the Vet's office.

| He does look so different!! The most challenging is just getting them to stand for you!! They want to sit and lay and lean against you!! They were both lazy!! Now I did groom them at night, after dinner, but I do this for a reason, because they are more relaxed and then they don't fight me!! But they were like trying to groom jello!! They are actually both pretty good with baths and trims and such, they just hate their nails done and that is the part I hate too!! I say just go for it!! It's only hair and it will grow back!! Try and not be nervous and just tackle it because I think they can feel you and if you are hesitant they try and wiggle and squirm. Also, before I put them on the pink table I put it on the floor and they sniffed it and I gave them a treat. When I put them on it, another treat, show them the clippers, treat, rub clipper on them when off, treat, turn clippers on, treat, etc... Make it a positive experience and if you are getting stressed or they are you don't have to complete it all at once! Do a little one day and then continue the next day! Hope this helps!!

| Great Jobs! BUT...How do you get your dogs to... Your dogs look great for a first try at grooming. Your very courageous What I need to know...because I am about to bring home an 8 week old puppy on Saturday..is how do you get your dogs to sit still and accept the brushing, nail clipping etc? My previous dog, Bentley, was a very sweet little guy.....but needed to be given medication in order to slow him down to work on his coat. When it came to nail trimming I had to take him to a pro because he would never allow me to get near his nails with a clipper in my hands.

| Grooming #3 Mindy in Puppy cut Well, I finally got around to grooming my 3rd yorkie, Mindy. Mindy is 12 yrs old and has had Cushing's for many years. She has a big belly and muscle wasting and her coat is getting thin, so I decided to give her a puppy cut. I used the 3/4" comb all over. She always looks so pitiful in pictures, she cowers and puts her ears down and doesn't want to look in the camera, so I did my best with the photos. Mindy was the easiest to groom, she is very obedient and just a sweetheart. I didn't have to bribe her with treats as much as Booboo and Brooke!! I'm so glad I decided to groom them myself. It is not that hard and I will get better with time and practice! I will save money and they will not have to be in a cage at the groomer's all day! I say to all of you that want to try it but are scared, JUST DO IT!! It's just hair, it will grow back and your pup will love you, no matter what their hair looks like!! Here's some photos of Mindy, before, after, Brooke with Mindy's hair pile, Mindy's face after!
