I own a 2 year old beautiful pedigree york shire terrier i know these dogs need alot of grooming and i do groom him daily and i LOVE it i espetially love to see the effects of when i totally finish with him but i noticed a small problem lately Alex has UNBELIVEABLY thick fur behind his ears and sides of the head area i love grooming him but it gets harder and harder to keep that area in a perfect state i have no problem with the rest of him though
so is there anything that could help me with that area?
equipment i use for daily grooming:
metal sliker brush
no rinse conditioner for log haired dogs
comb
and is there anything else i will need? i also own blood kwik, nail file and nail clippers
Yorkshire is one word.
No YT on the planet has coat so thick …anywhere…that can’t be combed.
Toss the stupid "slicker"…it PULLS coat out. COMB…..even a pin brush…NEVER a slicker.
Toss the stupid conditioner gunk too.
I live in an apartment and am looking into buying a toy dog. Most of the breeds I have looked at (including Poms and Pugs) are either inclined to bite or difficult to housetrain. I want to find a toy breed that’s friendly, affectionate, and relatively easy to housebreak. Is that possible? Feel free to report your experience with any particular toy breeds.
There are many Papillons that have earned top obedience awards. However, neither my pug nor my Chihuahua were difficult to train. You might check with your local shelter. Many times you will find a small dog already trained, and its worth a shot.
You will find shelter dogs listed on www.petfinder.com, if you are in North America
I’ve adopted a male Yorkie – He’s almost 18 months old now – he is full breed but the original owner didn’t take much time with grooming and kept him very short AND did not do anything with his ears – is it too late to get them to stand erect?? I’ve seen instruction online but didn’t wan’t to put him through the taping if there wouldn’t be any result.
Maybe I should clarify just a bit…
I only wanted the ears erect because my daughter thought it was cute that way- we’re not going to show him and YES he’s fixed – we RESCUED him like our other animals. By the way some of your answers were written (TYKE) I was feeling moronic (I don’t care less if it is Full or Pure Bred…hmmmm what an "inbred" response you gave) To the person who assumed I was planning on "cosmetic" work and suggested I donate that money instead…I’m not sure how far $2.00 worth of tape would go as a donation (all you do is tape the ears, no surgery)
Thank you VERY much to those of you who understood and answered with care and kind words – we’re happy with our little guy and we think he’s happy with us – he IS special however his ears look : )
Happy New Year
It is too late. A yorkies ears should naturally stand if bred by a reputable breeder. Backyard breeder breed recklessly and thus ear type is not bred for. Its okay though because he is still special. Not a biggie to worry about.
i have 2 weiner dogs. and they have a bad case of fleas. i give them baths but the fleas don’t go away though. so i was thinking about asking my mom to get my dogs groomed. but does Dog Grooming get rid of fleas? like completely? what else does dog grooming do to help your dog? thanks
by the way, they’re outdoor dogs. they never come in the house cuz my mom doesnt allow it.
It won’t help with fleas. You must treat pets with spot-ons or pills from vet & treat home & yard otherwise the fleas will keep on breeding & jumping on pets. Shampoos have no residual effect & will remove the fleas currently on the pet at the time of bath. Once out of the tub all the fleas in the home & yard will jump on & if your pets even have 1 flea, you have fleas in the home & yard.

I’m interested in starting a pet grooming business sometime within the next few years. How is the market for this? About how much money will i need? I have seen people say 100k, but i cant imagine it would be this much…it’s not like i’m opening a restaurant, i’ll be providing a service for people’s pets. I’ll need a space and equipment to start with. Any advice would be great.
Honey, the BASIC equipment for a groomer going into an established salon is at least 600 dollars. Plus the tuition for most grooming schools is at least 4 grand. I know one out here that is 9. You will need A LOT of money and you will have to do your own research for your area, this site can’t help with that. Yes it probably could reach that much because you will have to have the proper insurance, pay rent, advertising, salaries if you hire anyone, supplies for the salon- shampoo, dryers, cages, tables, etc. The tables alone are over 2 grand. First go to school or find a salon that will teach you so that you know if it’s even the right job for you.
We’re moving back home and we’re planning to get a dog. I prefer small breeds. NO ASKALS please! I also want a dog that is not hard to find.
I meant a breed that is easy to find. I don’t want a rare breed.
Do you mean the ones that do not taste very good?
