Do it yourself dog grooming for Yorkies
The most important part of grooming is keeping the coat from matting in the first place which means keeping it brushed and clean. Yorkie grooming properly means bathing the dog weekly. Their hair is much like humans with single coats, no undercoats. Although they don't get dog odor they can eventually get dirty hair smell just like people can so you must keep your Yorkie groomed and bathed, making sure to brush clear to the skin to prevent any mats forming in your Yorkies coat.
I start the process by fully bathing the Yorkie with a good quality shampoo and conditioner. You can use a good pet product or human product. Just make sure that you do follow up with a conditioner. Make sure you are rinsing out every bit of the conditioner when done. A good rule of thumb is to rinse twice as long as you spent shampooing. At bath time their teeth are also brushed.
I blow the coat dry with a hairdryer. A hand held one is fine. Once the Yorkie is dry you can add the dog bow, unless you want to keep the Yorkie cutdown in a Yorkie style. If you do it's time to start clipping wherever you want the coat short at.
Normally when grooming Yorkies I only trim the Yorkie topknot in front of the skull above the eyes, but have given an occasional Yorkie a rounded look on their face, since some people do like that. Normally I leave the beard long. Do be sure to not trim any hair below the eyes, as this will grow back so fast that it is poking them in the eyes. Trim with the scissors, the hair on the front, back and sides of the ears about 1/3 to 1/2 ways down the ear, whichever you prefer, or use a small clipper to shave the backside of the ears. You can buy a man's mustache trimmer that does the job well. On a male Yorkie you may want to trim a little hair in front of the sheath for cleanliness.
