| Just explain what you want. Do you want her hair to be short? Then tell them to shave her, if not just explain that you want it even all around, they will use the same blade on her all over.

| I've heard bad things about PetSmart groomers-so definitely search for another one I agree, just tell them what you want, or more importantly, what you DON'T want. If you can find a picture of a yorkie that has a haircut that you like, bring it with you, or do a sketch with arrows and very descriptive wording I always tell them to do the following: -Trim up feet-sides and pads -Shave lower belly and clean up "potty" areas -Shave top half of ears, inside and out -Do NOT shave down bridge of nose -Do NOT cut hair on top of their heads (long for ponytails) -Leave beard long, but clean up -Trim up body Hope that helps get you started-take any of these and modify as you like!

Hi Milli! How is our favorite member of the dirty furkids club! Glad to see you at least get your hair trimmed up. Mommy has to draw the line somewhere huh? What great tips Suzy, thanks. I know I'm gonna have to face the groomers someday soon with all my new kids. I'm petrified!!

| Ask your vet to recommend someone who is really good with yorkies. In our area, the groomers leave their business cards at the vet's office too. The girls in the vet's office know everything. LOL!
