but anywhos....i had to literally sit on Fiona to get her to hold still and for her to understand that im the boss, not her. and i got the job done.
however taking them to the vet for them to be the bad ones rather than you should be a better approach for you!
good luck! |
Dear Dara,
I was talking about the groomers in my country
Someone will open a grooming store, and they will hire workers, who may or may not have went to school. Majority in my country is living below the poverty line. Everybody needs work, so who's to say the store owners won't just hire anyone because labor is so cheap? The owners themselves may or may not have gone to a grooming school. The workers, well, I really don't think they're educated in any ways about dogs.
I know there are REAL grooming stores in Jakarta, but it is down town and with the jam and everything it could take up as long as 3 hours to drive down there, not counting the time to drive back.
The nearest somewhat "real" groomers I found is almost an hour's drive away. And Mocha is car sick
So groomers are not an option for me right now

I tried the towel thing... Didn't work
She doesn't even sit still in the bath.. I will try it though, she likes the warm water. Thanks for the advice.

Not sure if I am explaining it well. I found they were very patient and I was comforted that I could be there and watch. That way if you feel it isnt going well, you could stop them. Good luck. |
I know what you mean. I will try that too. Thank you
