Their was another woman there who was also having a lesson. She and I kept looking at this groomer, then at each other with dismayed looks on our faces. I'm sure the poor dog will never want to be groomed again. I also wonder if whoever owns this dog will notice any unusual behavior once they get their dog home. Wish I knew who they were, I'd tell them never to take their dog there again. Although I've only used their grooming service twice, I have shopped at their pet store for over 25 years. I'm debating whether or not to talk to the owner...or mind my own business. What would you do? |
definitely talk to the owner - oh man - I'd have said something right there - it would have been direct and hopefully not rude but I can't stand to see anyone act like that with any dog -
I know it must have been uncomfortable for you...
but someone should have said something right to her face...that woman doesn't need to be in that business
We had a meetup here in houston and some JERK threw a full bottle of water at his dog because he was marking .....and oh yeah - I spoke up - he acted like he had every right to do that because it was HIS dog - We didn't get into too much of a verbal 'fight' ...but I had no problem saying something to his face -
that poor dog - and that was only one you saw - she probably acts like that all the time and gets away with it.
