have you ever left your dog somewhere else or with someone else before. maybe your baby is stressed out and acting strange because she thought you had abandoned her and she is mad at you. or maybe your baby has separation anxiety?
i know that most dogs hate/dislike being groomed. some learn to tolerate it. you can either try to learn to groom your dog yourself, or you need to find a groomer that you can trust.
i don't have the patience to groom milu myself. so i take milu to petsmart to get groomed. i found a groomer that i like there, but i still would never leave my dog there. i will call ahead of time to find out when the groomer is less busy and will be available to groom milu while i wait, and i will take milu in at that time and wait there till she is done being groomed.
i also never let them wash and dry my dog. i will wash and dry milu right before i take her to the groomer because they take dogs to the back and i don't want them to take my dog out of my sight. i feel too nervous when they do that because i know that the groomers need to get the job done, so they are not as loving and as nice to the dogs as i would like. it's not their fault though. if they don't try to work fast, they will never be finished grooming all the dogs that they have to groom. i usually do have to wait about 2 hours while they groom milu. dogs have a lot of hair, and they try to resist being groomed, so it takes forever.
if you want to try to find a good groomer, you can look for reviews online. (ex. yelp.com) |
