Instructions
Thoroughly brush your yorkie with a dog brush and follow by combing. Loosen mats between your fingers before combing through; and avoid jerking at knots and mats, which can cause the hair to break as well as hurt your dog.
Bathe the dog with dog shampoo and conditioner and towel dry. Allow the dog's hair to dry completely before cutting to avoid uneven cuts.
Use a 7 or 10 clipper blade to trim the dog's hair in 2- to 4-inch sections where needed, such as above the eyes, on the rear and chest area where hair grows the fastest, and on the body, so the hair does not drag on the floor. Shape the yorkie's 'beard' as desired.
Repeat every one or two months.
