Grooming Video Tutorials Discussion (by marcerella02)
 
What you will need:

Clippers- I have this one:Andis UltraEdge 2-Speed Dog Clipper | PetEdge.com
It has lasted about 5 years- I am about due for a new one. It is well worth the investment!

You will need some sort of clipper cleaner and oil- you can also buy that on petedge.com

Combs- Andis Universal Snap-On Small Clipper Combs | PetEdge.com
I use the 3MM on Layla

You will need scissors. I bought a small pair from Petsmart- and they have lasted many years and are still sharp!

I bought Layla's small clipper at Walmart but you can also buy small ones on petedge.com

Layla's grooming table is:Andis Universal Snap-On Small Clipper Combs | PetEdge.com

And the ear powder: Top Performance ProEar Professional Ear Powder | PetEdge.com
The small one.

I groom about half of Layla laying down- this is discussing her belly and feet. Another video is coming which is more detailed of how I do her feet.

Layla is never alone on her table when I am grooming her- my mom is always holding her while I do the grooming. If you do not have someone to help you- this table comes with a lead that you can put around your dog's neck.

Grooming the face and our Yorkie Yummies plug :)

I also like to use the small clippers to take the bulk out of Layla's face- I mentioned that in the laying down video.

Grooming in between the pads of her feet.

This is the final video. If you have ANY questions please post them and I will do my best to answer them. I am NOT a groomer and this may not be the proper way of doing things but it is what works for us. Also, if I have missed something and you would like a video made- I'd be happy to help!

WOW, great job Marci! You should combine them into one tape and sell them on ebay. ;)

What great videos, and what a well behaved yorkie! Thanks for sharing, I do some minor grooming on my baby Winston, but mostly he doesn't hold still enough for me to do all of his grooming, but it is so expensive to take him to a professional, so I am interested in learning more. Do you clip Layla's toe nails or file them?

Don't let the good behaviour fool you- it is ALL about the treats- and Layla STILL will not let me groom her front feet- you would think she is dying a slow death so it takes us FOREVER!

I file Layla's nails. She also hates that and will not stay still so I have cut her MANY times- now we file- and again- LOTS of treats.

Wow, how on holy earth did you manage to get her to lie down like that? my benny has no problems with the trimming his front or back feet, butt, ears, you can do anything to him but I cannot imagine him lying on his side like that. But what the hey I'll give it a go next time but I doubt it, he won't even do that when I try to give him belly scratches.

Btw I kinda don't get why we have to pluck those hairs inside the ears. It seems painful and I've been just using the trimmer to get those inside the ears so wouldn't that be ok?

Great videos, thanks for helping.

I was wondering if you could give me some help on the bath part. I try to put cotton in the ears to keep water out and they always shake them out. I can't tell if I am getting water in the ears or not. Also I need some tips on cleaning the face without getting soap in the eyes. I use a tearless shampoo for the face but I am probably not getting the face clean enough for fear of getting too close to the eyes.

Thanks!

Layla CAN be submissive :) I have been practicing holding her on her back since she was little. You might want to try using treats- Layla would probably do anything for treats.

The hair in their ears can cause a few issues. The idea is that it keeps crap out, however, if there is too much hair- it can keep bad crap in. Also, it can keep the ear moist which can cause an ear infection.

Plucking, while it seems like it might hurt, doensn't. Layla hardly flinches. Cutting is ok for a while, however, your dog will eventually get a build up of hair deeper in their ear.

I used to put cotton in Layla's ears- I dont' anymore. I figure the SMALL amount of water I am getting in there (unless your dog is going underwater) she will shake out when she shakes (that's part of the beauty of shaking) so don't worry about too much unless they are going underwater.

To clean Layla's face- I usually just use a wet warm cloth and not usually shampoo. It is not worth it when I try and get the shampoo out and get up putting water up her nose :p However, when I bath Layla, I don't do it in the sink, I bring her in the shower with me. Because of the nature of the shower, her face ends up getting wet and clean that way. I hope that helps!

Thank you again for the quick feedback. Im not big on dogs doing tricks anymore like when I was a kid but if there's one thing I would love benny to do is to like down peacefully like Layla..while getting her feet trimmed!:notworthy

Ok I can help you with that. 1st of all don't put it the ears until it's the absolute last part of the bath..which is the head. So you would wash, rinse and repeat the body and legs 1st so that during this time her/his head is dry/free and comfortable. Then after you rinse him on the 2nd wash or after you put on the conditioner...then you put in the cotton balls just before you wash his head/face. That way it's not on the entire time and he/she will not shake the head while you're washing it. Also I find it that you just use half the cotton ball so that you don't feel the need to jam it shut tight. My benny is about 7lbs and he only needs about 1/4 of a cotton ball. If it's too much it will pop out easily and also bother them and that's why they shake it.

I agree marcella that a little bit of water doesn't hurt but since now that I have it down to a science and benny only shakes it out "after" Im finished with washing his head that it's not a big deal and I rather have his ears nice and dry. Give that a try..

apple718 12-10-2011 05:21 PM
Another thing I like to add on the shampooing head part is that right after you put in the cotton balls go at it right away and get the head wet. Then lather the shampoo in your hands to create suds then quickly wash the head/ears/chin/neck and rinse off quickly. Then if you have the conditioner on the body then rinse that off and by this time he can shake his head all he wants since you're done with it. So you see he couldn't shake his head while it's getting washed. It's like a sneak tactic but it works

Yorkies hair is like ours so after a week or two it really needs a good shampoo and using a warm cloth is just not clean enough IMO.
