With dogs like shih tzus, pekingese, and others that have bulging eyes, you do have to be more careful with them. When they get extremely nervous or stressed their eyes can actually pop out. The groomers I worked with taught me that. If one of those breeds seemed really really nervous, they really pay attention to it's eyes and make sure they don't start bulging more - because like I said, they can actually pop out from the dog getting too stressed. Dog's that nervous need to be given a break to calm down. With those short muzzels, they tend to not be able to breath as well either so you also have to make sure they are breathing okay. A dog can become overly stressed and pass out on the table from not being able to breathe normally.

You have to find a groomer that has a lot of patience and is willing to work with the difficult ones. The dog's safety has to be the number one priority.
