Instructions
Place your Yorkie on a comfortable flat surface, such as a tabletop covered with an old, clean towel. Grip her gently, but firmly, at the hips or shoulders as you comb.
Comb through your Yorkie's fur, gently, using the wide toothed comb to remove tangles. To work out knots, grasp the tuft of fur near the dog's skin to keep from pulling, as you work out the comb using short strokes. Use the scissors to clip out snarls, but only as a last resort, if combing does not work.
Work through your Yorkie's coat with the fine toothed comb, from skin out, to remove dirt and distribute conditioning natural oils. Periodically clear the comb of shed hair.
