Just a FYI
Pet Groomers and Dog Trainers are getting alot of negative attention on the news these days. And what's being reported is absolutely appalling! It's sad that someone can be so awful!

We are not gonna let u purchase grooming packages and take off with your money and Dog Trainers are not gonna abuse your fur babies.
We are in this cause we love all our fur babies!

What makes a pet groomer a great one??
It does NOT matter how many haircuts a day you can do. Not how precise you Trim the hair. It doesn't matter how expensive your tools are- or how bougie your shampoo. What makes a GREAT groomer is putting the needs of that dog FIRST: despite what the owner wants, despite what you consider to be the correct "style", despite "letting the dog win" - it's got to be all about the dog and what they NEED. ❣️For some people, this means turning the dog away because they don't charge accordingly for the training it needs or they don't have the patience. If this is you, you're still a GREAT groomer because you're doing what's best for you and the dog on your table. ❣️

I'm talking about the people that push these dogs past their limits, worrying about perfecting the groom when they should be worrying about The mental health of the dog and the long-term effects.

That dog screaming and flailing for its paws? Doesn't NEED to have perfectly trimmed feet or perfectly filed toenails- even if you can muscle thru it with help- what that dog NEEDS is a foundation for trust and compassion. Clip the nails quickly and round off the fur if you can: it doesn't have to be perfect, he just needs to see that it's over soon, then Praise the crap out of them. Have the parents work at home with them. Build up their confidence with the basics- after that foundation of trust is laid you can focus on fine tuning the cut after a few visits with most dogs.

I turn out some of the most ridiculous looking grooms at first sometimes. And the pet parents are always so GRATEFUL that I didn't push their dog past it's mental limit. In return I get a happier and more relaxed dog with every visit: a dog who only gets more cooperative with time. Eventually he gets the quality haircut I want him to have- but you cant rush it until they are ready.... And there is always a handful of dogs that will struggle for one thing or another. I'm not saying I'm Mary Poppins or anything- there will be dogs that will need sedation medication, older dogs set in their ways crabby and uncomfortable- dogs with too much energy that don't get enough socialization. Like I said don't be afraid to give the pet parent homework. If they don't want to help their own dog how can they expect you to?

(Also these types of dogs are job security. They get used to you and your techniques and styles- these are the types of dogs that really need to stay with the same person every time for continued success)
