I'm so sorry you had a bad experience. I think the important thing, is not to let him know how upset you are. You don't want him to not enjoy being groomed. He if senses you are upset he will assume grooming as a bad thing. It will be easier to maintain a longer coat if he likes to be grommed, which may prevent having a groomer shaving him in the future.
