| Advice on ear trimming How do you get your little guy to hold still??!!! I am very good at using clippers on a person that holds still (I cut my husbands hair), but for the life of me cannot get Tobey to hold still to let me trim his ears. I managed to get the very tops but it looks all choppy cuz he struggled so much. he does fine with brushing and me touching his ears, feet, etc. normally. I wonder if I took him to a groomer, what they would do? is there some secret I don't know about? please help! |

| Desensitize him to the sound of the clippers by turning on the clipper and holding it backwards near his head/ears. Just stroke him with the back side of the clipper and act very calm. When he is being calm praise him calmly. You can also put cotton in his ears to reduce the sound of the clippers. Oh, and take him for a long walk before attempting anything so he's tired and not as excited.

| Could someone please take a few close photos of the trimed yorkies ears outside and inside? How should it look like exactly?
