Instructions
Grooming a Yorkshire Terrier
Place the Yorkshire Terrier on a table or other sturdy surface in order to bring him or her to a comfortble working height. This wil give you more control over the dog.
Use a
blade on the dog clippers to clip under the hind legs of the dog and under the tail.
Comb through the entire dog coat and remove any matts prior to bathing the Yorkie.
Bathe and condition the Yorkshire Terrier using a professional dog shampoo and conditioning treatment. If a medicated shampoo is being used leave it on for the full recommended time.
Completely dry the dog before proceeding with the grooming process. Trying to clip a wet dog will clog clippers and scissors and result in an uneven finished groom appearance.
Comb through the entire dog coat after drying.
Tie a top knot now if one is desired. A top knot is the tuft of hair tied up on the top of the Yorkshire Terrier's head, often tied with a ribbon or held with a barrette. Gather the hair from the base of the back of the head to the front of the ears and tie with a rubber band or hair clip.
