That's the spot! Yorkshire Terrier loves having hair clipped in hilarious video

When it comes to having a dog, keeping them clean and tidy might be one of the trickiest aspects - a lot of dogs don't love being groomed, and owners often have to leave it up to a professional.

But that wasn’t the case for this Yorkshire Terrier, who definitely seemed to be enjoying the experience of having their fur cut at home in a TikTok video that's been making dog lovers giggle.

TikTok user @lrfearn posted the hilarious clip, which shows the Yorkie bouncing on their back legs as they get their back fur clipped.

The clip is appropriately captioned “That's the spot!”.

The pup vibrates so much that they scoot across the floor and the groomer has to keep pulling them back into place.

At one point in the video a Staffie comes in and gives the Yorkie a cursory sniff, as if wondering what they're so pleased about.

The clip is made all the more amusing by the hysterical laughter of a child that can be heard in the background.

The video has almost two million views on TikTok, with loads of dog lovers commenting on the pup’s adorable reaction. “The most wholesome thing I have ever seen,” one person gushed.

“They just changed her batteries”, another commenter joked.

Some also commented that their dog does something similar, kicking their back legs when they find a spot that they seem to love being scratched on.

According to Hill's Pet Nutrition, this is an involuntary “scratch reflex” that dogs have.

The nerves under a dog’s skin mean that when they’re tickled in a particular sweet spot, they just can’t help but kick their legs.

It’s said to be an instinct to help protect dogs from things like fleas and ticks.

While it may be involuntary, that doesn’t mean the dog isn’t enjoying the scratch action - and judging by the way the Yorkie in this video looks adoringly at their owner, they certainly seem to be having a good time.

Of course, getting spruced up isn’t something that every dog loves.

This Samoyed struggled to hide just how much he hated bath time in another amusing TikTok video posted by @boomer_the_landcloud .

The video shows Boomer looking increasingly less impressed as he goes reluctantly through the stages of being bathed.

The clip ends up with the drenched pup looking very cross that he’s been put through such an ordeal, before his owner gives him a reassuring pet.
