That is SUCH good advise - When Chanel had a really bad grooming experiece - a groomer was too rough with her - she got scared of even going in the CAR !!
So we took a day - just me and her - and we went and cold called on 4 different NEW groomers and I let her walk around - meet them - then we left ...after doing this she got over her fear of leaving in the car AND she went to a nice groomer and though she didn't do a great job either - I know I can trust her -
We are STILL looking for a good groomer ...Chanel is 3 now - does that tell you anything about how HARD it is to find a good one ? In the meantime - I groom them myself.
