| If I can make the time, I wash mine every week. It's our special time and I set up a whole grooming station in my kitchen. I'm actually going to give them a bath today - I'll take photos! |

| My yorkies also get a bath once a week!! I do it myself most of the time. I dont feel safe enough to trim them on my own, so they go to a parlour every now and again when they need a trim!!! I also set up a little area in our garage on top of a cupboard and groom them. They then get a treat afterwards for their good behaviour!!!! They are not all that impressed at first when they are done and will run off without their treats, but once they have forgiven me, they come back to look for that treat!!!  |

| I bath most of my yorkie kids once a week. It depends on their individual needs. Some of my yorkies are real gardeners - Klara just loves digging holes & running through the sprinklers - so she can't go without her weekly bath! Lexie's favourite day time sleep spot is in the flower bed - so she gets herself covered in dirt & can't go without her weekly bath! But then I have a few that don't like to get their precious paws wet or dirty & they don't need to be bathed quite as often. I do all the grooming myself, but have on a few rare occasions used a doggy parlour.  |
