I would love to start grooming my yorkie myself. Right now I take her to petco. I was taking her to petsmart but petco did such an awesome job that I stuck with them. I give her a bath at home on a regular basics, like once every week or even every two weeks. But she will not let me touch her nails to clip them at all. I thought about buying that new nail filer that is supposed to make it easier but Im afraid I will just be wasting my money and that she wont let me use it either or that she will be afraid of it. So...basically I take her to the groomer because its easier.
But I know I could save money doing it myself. Hmm...
Even if I could possibly just take her to get her teeth brushed and shaved or just take her to get her nails clipped....it would be awesome if I could do half and save a little more...
