If you wipe your own eye boogers away in the morning when you wake up, then you should wipe your dogs eye boogers too. you wouldn't want yours irritating your eyes so why would your dog?
You have so much heart. The pets cant tell you whats bothering them and they cant move the hair out of their eyes. I wish some pet parents had more empathy. Thank God for you. I enjoy your videos.
We have 3 Yorkies & have bathed them & groomed them for 8 years ourselves, thanks to folks like you ,, we’ll be doing it for another 8 years , not rocket science here,
There are some elderly or disabled people who parent these fur babies, so it's difficult for them to groom them. Thank God for the many wonderful groomers out there ❤
They have eye wipes at Petco that work wonders!! They don't burn the eyes and they clean and soften the gunk on the eyes so well. I keep them beside my bed and EVERY single day, I wipe my babies eyes off. It's so easy to keep their little eyes clear of junk, it just takes a little effort. Imagine having that hard goop stuck in the corners of your eyes?
Oh thank you for this wonderful and informative little tutorial on eye buger cleaning. In the clinic I work in I’m ocd about icky eyes and ears. If I see it they are not going home without a cleaning. If it’s painful to the pet, the owner gets to see how to prevent it. Sadly I think it usually falls on deaf ears but I do it and hope they take the hint. Like brushing the hair this needs to be done daily. The flea comb is the best idea ever. Thanks Dede.
I have little Yorkie runt, she was number 4 in a litter of 3 puppies. I keep that crud she gets around her eyes off with an eyelash mascara brush. I bent it a bit so it fits right in the area. It works great and she likes the feel of it.
When you guy was bathing the yorkie all he doing is Patting the soap on he not scrubbing it in to git the skin clean to and the hair not gitting that clean ether
When you tightened the leash on your stand there a quiet "thank you very much" played in my head. What a lovely Yorkie! He seems so sweet. You did a wonderful job with his eyes. Not only are you a good groomer you are a kind groomer. I have a nice groomer for my dog who is a Chihuahua mix. A Pet Smart groomer did my Pom years ago and I found her being too rough with him when I returned to pick him up early. He never went there again. He was the first little one to go to my present groomer.
@@joykayvallandingham8999 You don't have to go to school, you can, but you don't have to..pet smart has an apprenticeship program. Anyone can groom dogs, no license required.
I am glad she is not grooming my babygirl, to have her RIP at it,,,,I'd have her ass in court making my dog bleed when she could have taken a batter route
I think you were a little ruff with this sweet little guy. I felt sorry for him. You should be telling him what a good boy he is and praising him for his good behavior!
The groomer should be ashamed of the discomfort and pain she caused this poor dog!! A warm wash rag should have been laid on his eyes before they attempted to remove the gunk and then GENTLY removed with a fine tooth comb- all the pulling out of his hair made ME cry for him-so fucking unnecessary and mean!! Let alone all the free scissoring she did around the eyes-how irresponsibly careless this was-I’d sue your ass, but then again I’d NEVER take my dog to someone like this-did you even bother to go to school??
I find that interacting with the dog too much stimulates them and gets them excited. It’s really important to keep them still, so it’s best to give them attention and treats after you are finished.
What a very well mannered Elvis is!! He’s beautiful. We just adopted a Yorkie a little mail from POLA rescue foundation here in Shreveport Louisiana & last year we adopted a little Maltese terrier from the same rescue. They are wonderful dogs and the rescue does such a great job fostering them before they adopt all of their dogs out. Thank you DeDe now I believe I Will be able to groom Little Georgie and Gracie Lou. I know it won’t be a perfect groom but it’s a start.
Elvis behaves better then most humans! What a good dog, He has obviously been to the groomers many times. Even thou his eyes were bad the owner obviously loves him very much to take him so often.
Everything about this is bad. The restraint (NEVER put anything around a Yorkie's throat), the eye hair yanking, the half-assed shampoo...that poor dog. If I saw that a groomer made my dog's eye bleed I'd sue.
The owner of this little man should be ashamed to allow his eyes to get in this disgusting state. I have a yorkie and I clean her eyes every other day it only takes a few minutes. He must have been so uncomfortable, bless the little sweetie he was so good.
Marie O'Mahoney so as I said in my post I was a single mother, working and going to college trying to recover from divorce. Never did it ever cross my mind to wash the face the eyes. Even taking her to my vet which was supposed to be a very good vet! I'm not trying to make excuses I'm saying it was my fault but life has a way of rearing its ugly head and sometimes the owners are just trying to to stay afloat.
Boogers can happen in just a couple of days, this yorkie wasn't that bad,,she removed them wrong,,you don't comb them out,lookat thatbaby's but,,she skinned it,i'd be pissed
@@jennifern297 rather than ridicule I will just say that now that you know about it the trick is to use a nit comb/flea comb 1-2x a day each eye and gently press up against the eyelid near the corner duct and comb down and away from the face and it will remove any goober gunk. Sometimes even a few hours is enough to check and see a new eye snotball that needs removal. It's just one of the minor costs of living with a yorkie but it's so worth it. They are little clowns that give us so much so let's be sure to give some back with good care. They depend on us to do right by them and in return we get true unconditional love. Sounds like a great deal to me!
My dog gets that after 1 week after grooming. My groomer is the best at getting it out. Do you need to actually wet the hair? Do any wipes actually help on the daily until my dog gets groomed?
On the eye area I like to use a warm wet washcloth and apply it to the area first, and then I cut it out as much as I can. Then back with a warm washcloth and wipe the rest away. Way less painful than combing.
Agreed, a warm washcloth works well for small amounts but that is crazy how much this owner lets get built up. A flea comb works great as well if you get the area a lot more wet with your fingers first, but even then using wipes or a washcloth is necessary to remove the excess.
My yorkie mix gets those clumps under her eyes as well. She lets me pick them off of her most of the time. I check them every day, but still have to trim them off sometimes.
I am so sorry,I know how it is ,we lost one of our puppies last January. I am so so sorry for your loss. Be strong & take your time mourning your baby.🙏🏻🙏🏻😭😭
Thank you for the info about the eye grooming. What shampoo and conditioner would be best for yorkies? Also I have a Papillion dog and would love to see grooming for these dogs.
Plz do clean your babies eyes. Use a wash cloth with warm water to get in there and a flea comb. They sell eye solutions for it as well. If you do it daily, their skin and eyes will be protected from future infections. I wish all pet parents could watch these vids!
Eevee Love babies they not babies they are dogs hello dogs 🐕 they not humans ugh hate when people call the dogs babies just say puppies if they small smh 🤦🏽♀️
Tina Denike well I dont call mines babies I call it like it is I have babies already and my babies are my daughters. I have my yorkies in their own beds their space I trained them to stay out my bed and sofas, as per they poop and pee and lick their own genitals, no thanks as much as I love my dogs they just that dogs. If you don’t have children then you call your dogs your babies...
Elvis is a doll. I wish my yorkie, Shih Tzu mix would act so well. DeDe you do such a great job . I think I have watched this video sooo many times. Someday I hope to be 1/4 as good as you. My mom always said practice makes perfect lol...❤️❤️❤️. Thank You DeDe
I usually don’t leave comments,I have a yorkie and if I seen a video like this.I would flip out.Shame on you for being so ruff with poor Elvis.I was crying for him.I would never ever bring my yorkie or anything I loved to you.
Agreed.. this is why I do all grooming myself. A groomer thought I wasn’t watching and I saw her smack my Pom. Cussed her out and got him the hell out of there; I couldn’t imagine subjecting my tiny Yorkie to this torture.
I worry about the restraint around his neck. Yorkie's are notorious for having very sensitive Trachia. Their trachia's have been known to collapse. I ask the groomer to fasten the restraint around my yorkie's chest.
Thanks for heads up and spreading word! Didn’t know for this breed. I Had a retriever mix, and didn’t know about his condition until way later (rescue). I would’ve never used a collar had I realized. I Felt awful. He got so bad at breathing when it collapsed, usually during summertime, as he’d have occasional bad spams-he’d turn purple and couldn’t stand!! If they can’t breathe proper, they can’t cool off in summer while panting (dogs can’t sweat) they loose energy to even stand (collapse) and susceptible to aspiration pneumonia. I couldn’t allow him to suffer anymore. Miss you Shorty ❤️
I think you do a wonderful job with these dogs. I’ve been to Petsmart, Petco & a couple private groomers and I am not happy. I tell all of them to not crate my dog because she has terrible anxiety when she’s crated. They say they won’t but when I come back she’s in a crate. The last time I took her to Petco they got water in her ears and it cost me $65 at the vet to clear up an ear infection.
My little Yorkie, Lulu, had excessive tears so she got eye goo really fast. I would put a dab of oil on the area to soften up before I washed her. I lost her a few months ago. She was such a sweet baby😭. I cried for weeks. But don’t be judging. Sometimes life gets crazy and gooey eyes happen. Got me a new little baby and she is a wild girl!
Can you do a video on how to clip aggressive dogs toenails at home? I have two rescues that HATE getting clipped although I’ve never hit the vein myself idk what has happened to them before me but they try everything to run away even biting when I go to clip :(
I should also mention I have 3 dogs the one who isn’t a rescue has no issue whatsoever with getting her nails clipped she will sit and let me do it all day so I don’t think it’s something I’m doing
As you make brushing them a pleasant daily routine and petting them all over and down their legs and over their paws they will slowly get used to their paws being touched. My vet told me walking my dog on a sidewalk would help wear down his nails while teaching him to have his nails trimmed. I do one nail a day so he doesn’t get worked up. It’s been a very slow process but he has improved. I think the noise of the nail being clipped startles him, too. So I pet him until he clams down and that ends it on a positive note.
kayBTR I never thought of clipping one nail a day that’s a really good idea! They’re both boxer mixes with really short hair so they don’t really need brushed often but Ive been trying to pet and touch around their feet Atleast a couple minutes a day although I’m not sure it’s doing the smaller one much good the larger one is totally okay with everything until I actually try to clip them... he has a removed toe so I’m assuming that’s part of his problem with his feet :( I would like to walk them on the sidewalk everyday but I live in the middle of no where so that’s sortve out of the picture for me unless I walk them down my road which I can try they do keep them filed down pretty well just running outside on the grass somehow but the smaller one isn’t heavy enough to do a good enough job himself.. I keep working with them what I can though and I’m going to try clipping one a day and see how that goes hopefully it will improve but as it goes the only time I can clip the smaller ones nails is when I have someone else helping me hold him from getting away and biting because I swear he’s a karate master lol and the larger one is mixed with something huge (appears to be part Great Dane) and weighs about 130lbs so he’s a huge hassle himself as well. Atleast I was blessed with the third dog who is very tolerant I guess
@@kayBTR I am definitely going to try the one nail a day trick. I have two brothers from the same liter. I visited them every other day from the day they were born. From the start I worked with their feet. One is fine the other has a hissy fit when I clip their nails. The dog groomer says he has extremely sensitive feet.
Scratching board with sandpaper - ours was so stressed by it and a trainer suggested this and has made general grooming easier bc he doesn’t get stressed when we dry or wipe paws anymore. For a stressed dog it’s a good force free option.
What did he put in his ears? I use makeup pads dipped in very warm water to remove the guck on his eyes. Without it being hot, it would never soften. It comes off so much easier with the hot water makeup pad.
Can you do show groom and maintenance tutorial for Yorkies? I'm still trying to learn the ins and outs and your videos have been so helpful, I love the attention to detail you have and how you make sure to narrate and explain every step! Thanks for making these!
Dee Dee, I've commented before a while back. I just had a suggestion. Some, not all dogs do better if they see themselves in a mirror! Kind of like a hairdressers station, so they can see what's going on. Doesn't always help, but it might surprise. Also mineral oil at the corners of eyes helps to release the eye boogers.
How do you treat the eyes when they have become a scab and then when cleaned they bleed and are raw? Thank-you for sharing this helps me learn how to treat my little angels so they aren't as scared. Have a lovely day!!!
you really shouldn't rub soap in that area since just like us, it's very sensitive. you wouldn't rub shampoo on your bits. clean flush with water is all you need.
+thomas parisi - You mean to tell me you don’t put soap on your Johnson ❓Bawhahaha 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing. I use an anti-bacterial soap on Lou-Ella. Doctors recommend you do this especially after intimacy. Fresh as a daisy 🌼. Trust me.
often shampoo can be irritating. and this is his gf. i think you are missing the fact he did rinse his hind quarter very well. that's why it's important to keep the hair maintained in that area. there is no need to sit and scrub profusely in that area. if you are worried about the area smelling, wet wipe the dog right after to maintain cleanliness. but you should never put soap directly on genitals and nipples.
I have a Yorkie puppy that’s 14 weeks today. When do you suggest I get her groomed, she has a lot of fur. I trimmed the corner of he4 eyes and ears this morning because one ear is up and one is down and I couldn’t see her little eyes
Nice job. You were so patient with his eyes. Mom wasn't too excited or thankful. Do your customers tip you. I always tip - especially if I need extra work done. I try to take care but sometimes the eyes or face does get messy.
I found that putting some unscented conditioner all around the prewetted eye booger before I even start the bath and leaving it in till the end then wash off and flea comb works wonders! I use the flea comb to put the conditioner, helps with precision.
How do you prevent that hard buildup at his eyes? How does that happen? Are you supposed to wash their eyes everyday with an eye wash or just a wet towel? That’s so sad. That looks like it would hurt 😞
I spritz colloidal silver and wipe almost every day. My little ones get used to it, it is routine and no build up. Colloidal silver is like water if it gets in their eyes (in fact I spritz a little in their eyes before and after so no germs can infect the eyes.
Said same thing why people cannot do it it n thwy have to go thru this meas if scared to turch around eyes heck why not a small brush or toothbrush foryhatatter but let it get to this no no no is why people startin to cut n wash they dog themself that was harsh I know its needed but poor dog
Elvis is such a sweetie. I use a fea comb for my yorkipoo's eyes but now that he's older it looks like he has lost some the hair by his eyes, am I doing something wrong? He's 16 1/2 yrs old and doesn't like to be bothered much.
People who just allow their animals to get so far out of hand and just unsanitary should be held accountable. Paying a heft grooming bill is not enough. I treat my pets like humans. They have feelings too. Poor guy! 😥
I think education is huge when getting a pet. I don't think a lot of people understand the needs that go into a breed like this. My dads yorkie was always well groomed but as he got older he couldn't keep up with daily grooming. He passed recently and now I've got her now and have had to learn a lot. I agree with you though, some people out there dont care or "it's just a dog" mentally.
Dede ....girl I so wish I had your videos like 10-15 years ago my Yorkie.. most little dogs have the eye boogers I guess it's from allergies or blowing dust? I took her to the vet he was telling me about a surgery that needed to happen! Not once was the washing the face every night ever mentioned to me and it never crossed my mind. Single mom working and going to college the idea of washing the face at night never crossed my mind! it's my fault but too late now I miss her so much!. Just saw the bath scene those eyes were nasty!! my girls was never like that!
If you wipe your own eye boogers away in the morning when you wake up, then you should wipe your dogs eye boogers too. you wouldn't want yours irritating your eyes so why would your dog?
amen, i do my dogs sometimes twice a day.
You have so much heart. The pets cant tell you whats bothering them and they cant move the hair out of their eyes. I wish some pet parents had more empathy. Thank God for you. I enjoy your videos.

I tell all of them to not crate my dog because she has terrible anxiety when she’s crated. They say they won’t but when I come back she’s in a crate. The last time I took her to Petco they got water in her ears and it cost me $65 at the vet to clear up an ear infection.
My little Yorkie, Lulu, had excessive tears so she got eye goo really fast. I would put a dab of oil on the area to soften up before I washed her. I lost her a few months ago. She was such a sweet baby😭. I cried for weeks. But don’t be judging. Sometimes life gets crazy and gooey eyes happen. Got me a new little baby and she is a wild girl!
Can you do a video on how to clip aggressive dogs toenails at home? I have two rescues that HATE getting clipped although I’ve never hit the vein myself idk what has happened to them before me but they try everything to run away even biting when I go to clip :(
I should also mention I have 3 dogs the one who isn’t a rescue has no issue whatsoever with getting her nails clipped she will sit and let me do it all day so I don’t think it’s something I’m doing
As you make brushing them a pleasant daily routine and petting them all over and down their legs and over their paws they will slowly get used to their paws being touched. My vet told me walking my dog on a sidewalk would help wear down his nails while teaching him to have his nails trimmed. I do one nail a day so he doesn’t get worked up. It’s been a very slow process but he has improved. I think the noise of the nail being clipped startles him, too. So I pet him until he clams down and that ends it on a positive note.
kayBTR I never thought of clipping one nail a day that’s a really good idea! They’re both boxer mixes with really short hair so they don’t really need brushed often but Ive been trying to pet and touch around their feet Atleast a couple minutes a day although I’m not sure it’s doing the smaller one much good the larger one is totally okay with everything until I actually try to clip them... he has a removed toe so I’m assuming that’s part of his problem with his feet :( I would like to walk them on the sidewalk everyday but I live in the middle of no where so that’s sortve out of the picture for me unless I walk them down my road which I can try they do keep them filed down pretty well just running outside on the grass somehow but the smaller one isn’t heavy enough to do a good enough job himself.. I keep working with them what I can though and I’m going to try clipping one a day and see how that goes hopefully it will improve but as it goes the only time I can clip the smaller ones nails is when I have someone else helping me hold him from getting away and biting because I swear he’s a karate master lol and the larger one is mixed with something huge (appears to be part Great Dane) and weighs about 130lbs so he’s a huge hassle himself as well. Atleast I was blessed with the third dog who is very tolerant I guess
@@kayBTR I am definitely going to try the one nail a day trick. I have two brothers from the same liter. I visited them every other day from the day they were born. From the start I worked with their feet. One is fine the other has a hissy fit when I clip their nails. The dog groomer says he has extremely sensitive feet.
Scratching board with sandpaper - ours was so stressed by it and a trainer suggested this and has made general grooming easier bc he doesn’t get stressed when we dry or wipe paws anymore. For a stressed dog it’s a good force free option.
You are wonderful with your pups. Wish you were here in NY.
Great job on the eye close up
what a tolerant little doggo
Very talented with those sissors.
great job from Big Mam Dee.
This dog is so cute his tongue is so funny bless him, you do such a good job.😜🐶🐾🐾♥️♥️♥️♥️
What did he put in his ears? I use makeup pads dipped in very warm water to remove the guck on his eyes. Without it being hot, it would never soften. It comes off so much easier with the hot water makeup pad.

Can you do show groom and maintenance tutorial for Yorkies? I'm still trying to learn the ins and outs and your videos have been so helpful, I love the attention to detail you have and how you make sure to narrate and explain every step! Thanks for making these!
Please do before and after shots of the animals. You do such beautiful work!
Your video is awesome.... Very informative. You know your work.
Elvis is such a good boy!!
Dee Dee, I've commented before a while back. I just had a suggestion. Some, not all dogs do better if they see themselves in a mirror! Kind of like a hairdressers station, so they can see what's going on. Doesn't always help, but it might surprise.
Also mineral oil at the corners of eyes helps to release the eye boogers.
My vet advised weak warm saline with drop of olive oil. It is a wonderful combo!
Awwww he’s sooo cute! He totally reminds me of my niece’s yorkie!!! Great job!
What is the solution put into pup's ears prior to bath? I have a 7 yr old Yorkie mix. I cannot imagine ever letting her eye boogers get that bad.
after every bath clean and flush ears www.myfavoritegroomer.com/product-page/malacetic-otic-large
Are the eye burgers caused from allergies?
How do you treat the eyes when they have become a scab and then when cleaned they bleed and are raw? Thank-you for sharing this helps me learn how to treat my little angels so they aren't as scared. Have a lovely day!!!
I agree, Dede, lots of water softens up those eye gunkies. That's what I've found with my little Yorkie.
The guy didn't even wash his private parts. Barely rubbed the soap on him. 😳
you really shouldn't rub soap in that area since just like us, it's very sensitive. you wouldn't rub shampoo on your bits. clean flush with water is all you need.
+thomas parisi - You mean to tell me you don’t put soap on your Johnson ❓Bawhahaha 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing. I use an anti-bacterial soap on Lou-Ella. Doctors recommend you do this especially after intimacy. Fresh as a daisy 🌼. Trust me.
often shampoo can be irritating. and this is his gf. i think you are missing the fact he did rinse his hind quarter very well. that's why it's important to keep the hair maintained in that area. there is no need to sit and scrub profusely in that area. if you are worried about the area smelling, wet wipe the dog right after to maintain cleanliness. but you should never put soap directly on genitals and nipples.
Winter Evans I believe you should use warm water on your bits to ensure a healthy PH balance.
cre that as a bath to the dog like that bathes the nut does not wash nor the nuts
I have a Yorkie puppy that’s 14 weeks today. When do you suggest I get her groomed, she has a lot of fur. I trimmed the corner of he4 eyes and ears this morning because one ear is up and one is down and I couldn’t see her little eyes
awww elvis is such a good boy! adorable !!
What kind of shampoo/conditioner do u use?
I started home grooming our yorkie fur babies... ❤️❤️ Thanks for this vid..
dede, on the little yorkies eyes, what do u recomend for his being sore?
Nice job. You were so patient with his eyes. Mom wasn't too excited or thankful. Do your customers tip you. I always tip - especially if I need extra work done. I try to take care but sometimes the eyes or face does get messy.
Such a PATIENT dog...
Does it hurt the dog when you clean the eyes?
Very nice job ! I adore him! When may I pick him up. He looks like my female.
When she walks away what keeps that dog from stepping off and hanging himself???
I found that putting some unscented conditioner all around the prewetted eye booger before I even start the bath and leaving it in till the end then wash off and flea comb works wonders! I use the flea comb to put the conditioner, helps with precision.
How do you prevent that hard buildup at his eyes? How does that happen? Are you supposed to wash their eyes everyday with an eye wash or just a wet towel? That’s so sad. That looks like it would hurt 😞
I learned so much watching this! Great video!!!
I spritz colloidal silver and wipe almost every day. My little ones get used to it, it is routine and no build up. Colloidal silver is like water if it gets in their eyes (in fact I spritz a little in their eyes before and after so no germs can infect the eyes.
I clean my dogs eyes twice a day how can someone let it get to that 😭😭
Said same thing why people cannot do it it n thwy have to go thru this meas if scared to turch around eyes heck why not a small brush or toothbrush foryhatatter but let it get to this no no no is why people startin to cut n wash they dog themself that was harsh I know its needed but poor dog
Elderly
Elvis is such a sweetie. I use a fea comb for my yorkipoo's eyes but now that he's older it looks like he has lost some the hair by his eyes, am I doing something wrong? He's 16 1/2 yrs old and doesn't like to be bothered much.
Great job DeDe!
People who just allow their animals to get so far out of hand and just unsanitary should be held accountable. Paying a heft grooming bill is not enough. I treat my pets like humans. They have feelings too. Poor guy! 😥
I think education is huge when getting a pet. I don't think a lot of people understand the needs that go into a breed like this. My dads yorkie was always well groomed but as he got older he couldn't keep up with daily grooming. He passed recently and now I've got her now and have had to learn a lot. I agree with you though, some people out there dont care or "it's just a dog" mentally.
Are you using a different camera for this video?
That is the sweetest Yorkie ever. I love Yorkies.
Omg. Since I was like 10 I wanted a Yorkie to name Elvis crazy. Must be a decent for for the breed haha
Any thoughts on how to clean those eyes on a yorkie who won't let you touch him? He fusses when I try to do anything. Love him much and want to help.
training and repetition, start off slow and steady.
And maybe praise and treats after eye cleaning.
Dede ....girl I so wish I had your videos like 10-15 years ago my Yorkie.. most little dogs have the eye boogers I guess it's from allergies or blowing dust? I took her to the vet he was telling me about a surgery that needed to happen! Not once was the washing the face every night ever mentioned to me and it never crossed my mind. Single mom working and going to college the idea of washing the face at night never crossed my mind! it's my fault but too late now I miss her so much!.
Just saw the bath scene those eyes were nasty!! my girls was never like that!
