I am a professional groomer too and would NEVER treat any dog like this. I am a firm beliver in gentle grooming, I have had so many dogs who ATE to be groomed come to tolerate it and even give some wags at the end of the groom because they know I mean them no harm and actually make them feel GOOD!
you'll laugh but I was watching a show once and this animal psycic (whether she was or not who knows), was talking about how a dog liked or disliked grooming. It made me rethink HOW I groom, if my dog could talk and DID talk what would they say??
My dogs that a groom know that when they are in the tub and I need to turn them around I tell them first...i would HATE being whipped around or turned with no knowledge.
If I DO hit a tangle or snarl I aoplogize, and I firmly believe they understand what i am saying.
Please do not judge all groomers because of a few crappy ones, there are many of us who work hard at what we do and care about out clients.
