I'm a groomer too and definately would never treat a dog like this. The one reason I went to grooming school is because I hated taking my "pet yorkies" to a groomer and having them cage dried and then pent up in a crate until they decided to call me to pick them up.
My lil clients are treated with the uptmost respect and kindness. Their teeth are brushed, shampoo and conditioner is different for each dog and suited for their coat texture and skin. Their ears are cleaned thorougly and dried and brushed dry in my lap. They recieve a massage, and are not made to stand on the table for great lengths of time. Each dog has 2 1/2 hours devoted to them......They are never kenneled; at most they are x-penned if I can't keep my eyes on them until their owners come to pick them up.
