I am a groomer and I own my own shop however I have not nor would I ever sedate a dog, large small any size, first of all it is illegal for any one other than a vet to sedate a dog puppy or any other animal. This groomer should be sued and her bussiness license should be striped from her. It is not allowed in my shop. I will groom a dog that has been sedated by the owner or by the vet however I try to do all dogs without any sedation, most are ablle to be worked with and calmed down even if they have had previously bad experiences. As for why would a three pound yorkie be hard to groom well I have to say the smaller the dog the harder it is to handle due to its not as safe to try to work with a dog thats so small you cant properly hold it...Had I been this groomer I would have done my best and if it was not possible to groom this particular dog I would have called its owner and advised them to take her to another groomer,,,sometimes the dogs can sense if you are good with them and if they get those feelings then you can be an excellent groomer and cant do a particular dog at a given time ,,,they are like humans some times they just dont like some people...I only have had one I couldnt make friends with in my whole life..But the groomer was dead wrong thats just unacceptable to sedate anything...Cindy
