Yorkie Haircut | Grooming Lola at Home

[@paulac8116]

I groom my yorkie Teddy all the time. I found he used to come home stressed after being at the groomers so I decided to start doing it myself. As you say practice makes perfect and I'm now pretty comfortable grooming him and he looks pretty good when I'm done! You did a lively job as well! Thanks for the video 💚

[@MeganGraham]

That is so awesome. Mine used to get extremely stressed from going to the groomers, and they would always throw up a day or two later. It just wasn't worth it.

[@donnajordanlivingston7537]

This was a surprise! I watch Suzanne every day! 🥰

[@MeganGraham]

I love her!

[@organicgal7751]

I watch Suzanne Grande as well everyday. Learned so much from her as well.

[@MeganGraham]

She is such a talented groomer!

[@lesllou5]

Great video. Thank you ! Love this help for days or times when we can't get to the groomer or they are unavailable the time needed . Yorkies are a special . 🥰

[@MeganGraham]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kcam3683]

Lola is such a cutie 🥰. I have 2 border terriers and they need hand stripped, it’s a loooooong process. One thing I found helpful was to put a mini floor mat under the dogs because on a surface like a table top they feel like they can’t grip it and move around more as a result. Great job.

[@MeganGraham]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@ladderc03]

This is AWESOME!!! My Daughter is a professional groomer and has 2 Yorkies herself (My GrandBabies) and I let her groom my 2 Yorkies (Daisy, Chocolate female, 7 months @ 4 pounds, and Loki, Parti male, 4 months @ 5 1/2 pounds) She told me that I needed to wait to cut Loki’s hair until he was 6 months old to let all the puppy hair grow out, so that’s what I’m doing… Daisy’s hair is thin and silky and I’m letting it grow long… Loki’s hair is thicker but doesn’t get tangled much because you taught me to comb and brush them everyday or every other day… My Daughter trims their eyes, paw pads and rear end for me… I grind their nails and bathe both them with the Espana Silk Shampoo, Conditioner and I have their Detangler Spray that you had mentioned in your previous videos!!! I absolutely LOVE their products and can’t “Thank You” enough for sharing everything with us!!! Love your channel!!!

[@MeganGraham]

I am so glad that you are enjoying them!

[@karendelano646]

My yorkie is 1 yrs old. Has been professional groomed once. He will be going to be groomed on Wednesday. Would love to be able to clean him up a little on my own. Thanks.

[@MeganGraham]

You're welcome:). Even though I am a hair colorist by trade, grooming is challenging. I find it really helpful to watch Suzanne from Grande Style Grooming though. Anything that we keep doing, will eventually get easier and better. I LOVE using the clippers. It is so satisfying. My dogs are so good too. They just stand there which is amazing:)

[@rachelpino77]

Hello. We love your videos, they are so helpful. We have a 7 month Yorkie puppy. Can you please tell us what brand of clippers your using?

[@MeganGraham]

Thank you! My clippers are Arturo spectra

[@CuddleFairy1]

The link for your comb is opening the bands, could you give me the link please? It looks ideal. I’m getting my first yorkie in March & am loving your videos, thank you so much. They are so helpful & are aligned with our healthy lifestyle as well 🙏🏻🤗

[@MeganGraham]

Hi: If you google Topline pet you will find the website where I purchased the combs. I believe I have the two smallest combs. The site does not allow me to link directly, but it is a very small site, so you should be able to find just what you are looking for.

[@Mel-wd3yy]

I watched tons of grooming yorkie videos and got my yorkie at 8 weeks old she is now 6 1/2 months and I have always done all her grooming.

[@MeganGraham]

That is great. Are you happy with the results?

[@Mel-wd3yy]

@@MeganGraham yes very. Once you get the hang of it and find a style you like it gets easier for both of us. I keep her top knot long, round her face keep the leg hair long and the body shorter. I think she looks really cute.

[@kymberliethefreespiritedone]

We groom our little girl ourselves since we got her @ 9months old. My other Yorkies were groomed by a professional but after a bad experience, I took KZbin lessons😉 Great bonding experience, less expensive, and I have assurance that she is safe.

[@MeganGraham]

yes! good idea!

[@hotmama298]

I take my dogs to the groomer but it's nice to be able to groom them myself. It's good that Lola is comfortable with you grooming her that's half the battle. It would be nice to show Lola after your groom and after your groomer to show comparison.

[@MeganGraham]

Sorry I didn't take any photos of the grooming I did:). It was a really busy week with work, youtube and travel so just trying to fit it all in:)

[@marianabenson2959]

Thanks so much for this video, it's very helpful! I just got my new Yorkie last week, and where I live there is no groomer so I would like to know, when should I give my Yorkie her first haircut?

[@natalie306642]

As soon as you feel like your dog's hair is too long. Its a personal preference. I keep mine cut shorter, but I have a friend that keeps her yorkie's hair longer.

[@MeganGraham]

I would wait a while and let your yorkie settle in. Too many changes for a new baby.

[@marianabenson2959]

@@natalie306642 ok thanks!

[@stacyspace4383]

I did my first attempt at about 4 months Mariana. Wishes for the best with your new baby❣️

Can you include a link to the clippers?

[@MeganGraham]

Ther are Artero Spektra clippers

[@shannieharrell1100]

What is the name of the clippers you used

[@MeganGraham]

Here is a link to the clippers amzn.to/3si0NDB (amazon affilaie:) ❤️❤️

[@neverwanderfromwisdom6494]

Hello Megan, could you tell us the name of the clippers you are using, they seem nice and quiet also. And could you tell a little bit more about their food. Is it free range, grass feed etc?

[@MeganGraham]

Artera spektra

[@MariaHerrera-bk3tn]

Hi I read through the entire thread and haven't seen the clippers brand you are using. Many of your subscribers have asked but the question has gone unanswered. Is this purposely? If you don't want to mention the brand please just mention that instead of having your subscribers ask and be ignored. Thanks

[@MeganGraham]

I'm not sure if you are unaware, but I have been dealing with health problems and just able to finally be on my computer and sitting up. I am not sure of the brand, they are packed away in storage somewhere. Thanks.

[@dsfkbarbosa2384]

What number did you use on the body? Tia

[@MeganGraham]

I wish I could remember. I think I made that 2.5 to 3 years ago.

[@moniquewalker5035]

When do u take your yorkie for there first groom at pet shop?

[@MeganGraham]

I take them to a groomer.

[@Samelia]

Omg Meghan this is better than me 😂 Are your silky? I groom my and take him to the groomers 2 times a month

[@MeganGraham]

Lola has pretty tangly hair, and poppy has silky hair:)

[@Samelia]

@@MeganGraham got it

[@stacyspace4383]

What blade/setting did you use on the clippers? Thanks❣️

[@MeganGraham]

I’m trying to remember, I feel like I’m still learning so it’s hard to remember I know it was a shorter one for the body and a longer one for the legs and lower part I think it was about a 12 on the legs and a nine on the body but I’m not totally sure. I usually just try different ones until I have the right length.

[@stacyspace4383]

@@MeganGraham Thanks Megan. What clippers were you using? I was trying to find the video where you talked about the clippers you bought that were recommended by Suzanne Grande? I should have asked that in my last question but thought I could find the other video, sorry busy lady. Thanks in advance!

[@AbreuFamily]

How do I keep my yorkie smelling good after walks?

[@MeganGraham]

Do they smell bad? Mine never do. What do they smell like?

[@AbreuFamily]

@@MeganGraham he smell like outside and smells like he needs to be bathed and I don't want to bathed him everyday.

[@patriciaswalve7088]

Could you tell us what size blade you are using

[@MeganGraham]

Hi:). a 6 on the body, and a 9 on the legs:)

[@allwayslaughing1]

Your Yorkie is so cooperative . I try over and over to groom my baby but she only let's me bathe her without a struggle. When I try to clean her eyes she tries to bite ,not hard but she won't stay still and she tries to take the wipe out of my hand. I would try to distract her and give her a treat when she stays still for even a minute. But it's a constant struggle to comb or brush her hair because she constantly tries to bite whatever I have in my hands. She will do this and then want to give me kisses so I will stop trying. She's very smart for being only 7 months old. And omg so very picky when it comes to her food. I've spent so much money on dog food that she will eat it one time to please me I guess. But won't eat it again. I have so much dog food I could probably open up a store 🤣🤣🤣. She won't let me cut,trim or brush her at no time. Only bath time she will allow. So I really don't know how to change this behavior 😕. If you have any helpful suggestions I'm ready to try anything. Oh she also will come to me and growl if I'm not paying attention that she pooped. She is used to me cleaning her butt when she poops. She also watches it flush down in the toilet. If you have any suggestions you can reach me at [e-mail] any time

[@MeganGraham]

Hi there, always watch my videos for free info, or I do 30 minute video consults for 200 dolllars:)

[@stacyspace4383]

I have a bossy puppy too. He is so much better now but they need to know they aren’t the boss by pushing through in a calm assertive way. It will get easier so just keep at it. And she will eat if she gets hungry! They are smart like toddlers and are good at trying to control us. Mine likes to proudly prance into the bathroom for the flush too😂

[@cindyw-c]

I just got two Yorkies one week ago. They are like little angels. I plan to do my own grooming so this will be very helpful. Thank you.

[@MeganGraham]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ryzardt]

I have cut all my Yorkies. I had a horrible experience with a groomer with one of my previous yorkies Ria. They cut her ear. And it put me off taking them to anyone. I trained on her and cut her for the rest of her life. So I can cut Ruby and Rosie quickly and efficiently. Plus my Husband prefers the girls shorter. Plus we live in the country so it makes it easier for walking them once the Autumn and Winter comes around.

[@MeganGraham]

That is great that you are able to do that!❤️

[@florence775]

I'm an old hair stylist also. I taught myself to cut my dogs, but I now have a Yorkie that is almost 2 and I cut his hair.. You can cut their hair just as well than spending $200 and over for shears and thinning shears, but the clippers would be worth the money. What clippers are you using, this didn't say.

[@MeganGraham]

Mine are Artero Spektra and I love them ❤️

[@genevievesmith3630]

I talk to Brody like that and compliment him on his sexy paws and how much love him and just in general, he’s my best friend and my kid
