Learning to groom I have always been interested in grooming Tilly by myself but never knew what all is involved. Should I take a class on it or is it just something I can learn as I go? It's not that her groomer is bad, we really like her a lot, it's just here lately I haven't felt well enough to get out much and wondered if in the long run it could save us money. Thanks to all that reply! |
I want to groom Mia myself too. I am planning on watching the groomer closely for a couple of times, and maybe reading a book or two? |
I want to take a class too, although I do my own grooming. I trim their ears, under eyes (a little), privates, and feet. I also trim their sides. just a little, I like them with long hair. The only accredited school in Indiana is Animal Arts Academy in Carmel. They charge almost $4000. They teach you how to do all dogs though and even the hard to handle ones. I need to wait awhile before I can afford to do this. I don't know about other groomers, but the ones in our city won't show you how to do it, (don't want to lose out on the money) but who could blame them. I just watched. |
Why don't all you ladies get together and fly to Salem Oregon and I will teach you all at one time......It might be a lot of fun... Debbie Ray Owner of Best Friends Pet Salon www.sumtoiyorkies.com |
can I go too? |
Sounds like fun!!! Don't think the doctor is gonna let me though... LOL 4000 is a lot for a class!!!! Wish I had some money laying around I don't need to use. :) |
Have you looked to find a video on Grooming yorkies. I'm guessing there is one out there. I've always done my own, I just learn as I go. I never take too much off anywhere. |
No, I haven't done much searching yet. Would a library have something like that? |

Well I just had a litter of puppies today and I have another on the way so I will be busy for a while but I will try and get it done for you. Debbie Ray www.sumtoiyorkies.com |
Congratulations on your new puppies! I totally understand. You will be busy with all your new babies..:D |
1 Attachment(s) I groom Sissy myself. I didn't read any books, internet for watch any videos - just king-of jumped in and did it. Of course, I started when she was just a puppy and I have basically maintained a puppy cut with her. I think it is fairly easy. I have a small set of clippers that I use for her bum and her feet. For the rest of her body I use a pair of hair scissors and pick the hair up between my fingers and cut along the top of the fingers, going through the whole body like that. It takes about 15 minutes and she holds pretty still. I think I do a fairly good job. Here is a recent photo. |
All right, Debbie, you KNOW I want to be one of the first you contact when you put that video together... Please email me and let me know how much as travelling is drama for me...!!! I especially need help with the face... I cant seem to get it right!! Bren |
You do a great job!!! I hope I can get that good with Tilly! :) |
