You can tell he's trying so hard to stay still despite his nervousness. What a sweet little pup.

[@patricesteiner1168]

I thought Toby looked so cute at the beginning, with that adorable scruffy face, but, oh my, he’s such a handsome lad after his haircut. That silky-but-textured Yorkie-Maltese fur looks so difficult to groom. Your expertise is only matched by your patience - and obvious love of dogs, and this little guy in particular. ❤

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

[@honeybunch5765]

It's easy to groom Yorkies they have hair very much like ours. It brushes so easily and they do not shed.

[@allinaday9882]

My groomer has a very difficult time with my Yorkie’s eye area!😮

[@JoannaLaina]

If Toby is anxious, I don't know what you would call my little Gucci! There is no groomer who, after the first session with her, will ever take her back. One groomer told me she had never heard sounds like that coming from a dog and she was afraid someone outside would hear her yelping or screaming and she would get arrested for animal abuse! So I have given up taking her to be groomed and do the best I can while she jerks and wiggles and makes those horrible sounds while I hold her in my left hand and groom her with my right. It's unimaginable what I go through with her. She had a real rough start in life and was most probably a puppy mill puppy and she has so many health problems. BUT...I LOVE HER! And if she doesn't look perfect, she looks good enough. She's s still adorable. ❤ 16:41

As someone with anxiety problems myself, I really appreciate the effort Toby made to be the bestest good boy.

[@MizGizma]

This was fascinating to watch. When I took my training as a groomer, it was drilled in that you never go against the grain of the hair. But Toby came out looking amazing! I honestly wish that your techniques and approach to shop management were standard across the industry, because they are the epitome of 'work smarter, not harder', while still putting the animals needs front and centre every step of the way.

[@Fluffy288]

Yorkies are usually the only exception that you can cut against the grain cause their hair is difficult to get even

[@transmasc]

So glad I finally watched this video. I had put it off because I thought it would be too painful: our sweet boy Balto passed away earlier this summer, a month before he would have turned 6. He had been struggling with serious autoimmune issues his whole life and it simply reached the point where it was too much for his big-for-a-yorkie-but-still-really-little body. He was a total sweetheart and absolute joy as well as my first dog ever and no one could ever replace him. He loved being groomed and the groomers loved him too. Teared up but still smiling while watching this whole video. Thank you Toby and Vanessa for healing a small piece of my still broken heart.

[@noreenhalpern6695]

I understand your pain. We had a very large golden retriever who developed Lymphoma at age seven. She broke my heart and a day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of her. It was so hard for me to look at any videos with Goldens. Now I just appreciate how wonderful they are.

Permanent puppy looking is so cute. Our dog was thirteen when cancer and seizures took him, but when strangers cooed over him and asked how old he was and we would say "thirteen", they would say "weeks?" and were stunned when we said no, years. He was a westie/shih tzu mix and had that puppy look right up until the end. My parents have a yorkie and she is older than the lovely dog you groomed and she looks like a young one too.

[@Blake_T]

We just had to put down our shih tzu and he was 20, and nobody would believe it. He was also the runt of the litter so was always on the small side which just added to it. Not a hint of grey or anything, he looked amazing.

[@EnglishVirgo]

@@Blake_T I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing about him :)

[@maryb8150]

We had a silky terrier (looks like a size up from the Yorkie). He was cute and playful but not much in the brains department. He’d play fetch with a ball until he was panting and starting to slow down some. He’d want to keep playing even when we stopped. He was a bit too boisterous and energetic for us so we rehomed him with a family that had 3 children that loved to play with him. He was much happier with them when we checked in on him a couple of times.

[@honeybunch5765]

The oldest Yorkie on record was 26 years old the last time I checked the net. I recently got new pups after my last Yorkie past at only age 10, she was stunning.😥

[@susandhifaoui]

when you have been a shih tzu mom for 20 yrs and you just now come to the realization that your wonderful groomer whom you love realizes that you do those in-between face and eye chops. Ooops, I love her even more she has never ever mentioned it. LOL Toby you are a cutie!

[@matthewmahoney6033]

I had a yorkie growing up and he had horrible anxiety. He was afraid of the groomers, the laundry machine, the stove, the oven, basketballs, and many more things. Now owning my own dog I went on the opposite end of the size chart and got a bullmastiff lol.

Poor little guy. Yorkies look so happy when I see them. But of course that's when they are outside on walks

[@jasond.b-w]

I also puke literally dozens of times a day because of anxiety (technically the anxiety that comes as symptom of other things.) I’m glad he at least seems to have a solution that helps even somewhat. He did a great job, really hope he was feeling much better than usual when he left!

[@Monika-mb6jh]

I really hope that you can find resources to help you! I feel ya! I remember being so anxious at one point I could barely eat anything for weeks, couldn’t eat anything other than salad because the smell of cooked food made my stomach turn, but I knew I had to eat something! Eventually I got over my stigma of medication (or perhaps my anxiety just got too bad) and it’s been a lot better since. That coupled with therapy. I hope you find something that works for you as well!

[@JimmyFoxhound]

Awww Toby is adorable! My parents just lost their Yorkie/Maltese mix last week. It was SO hard on everyone, he was such a wonderful part of the family. He almost made it to 15. Wonderful dogs, Rocky was the sweetest little guy with a ton of personality. Miss you Rock ❤❤❤❤

I love these longer videos! Toby is adorable. My senior chihuahua is 10 and people think he’s still a puppy. ❤

[@sugar0coated]

My pup is a similar breed (shitzu/yorkie), except he's white and silver. I've been grooming him myself for the last 6 years as it was cheaper for us and less stressful to him for me to learn. His coat is just like this, except for the colour, and I felt very relieved for you to say shaving it backwards was correct, as people who've watched tend to try to tell me I'm wrong :') I'm saving this video, because the one thing I've never been able to do quickly his legs, and you did an amazing job here. My boy tends to get stressed waiting for me to be done, because they're just too little to use the clippers for everything and he doesn't like standing for too long. I've been using straight-edge scissors for anything I can't clip, so watching how to use the other types has been really helpful! Also, Toby's ears to face blend is so nice!

Love this video and how you worked with the owners to ensure Toby could have a comfortable and less stressful groom!

A dog with a lower maintenance coat would be a better fit. Thanks so much for that info!

Sweet baby. I really appreciate how you will err on the side of letting perceived perfection go for their well being. Also, the seniors I have had so far their dew claws always start curling inwards. Never had one with rear dews. A groomer showed me a trick, in between nail trims to deal with the dew claws that grew like WEEDS. Use an emery board to make sure there is enough space between it and their skin, until a proper clip of it. Cheers, @Girl With The Dogs 2
