This was Lexi's first time ever at the groomers. My DH and I stayed with her and she did so good we were so proud of her. There were other dogs barking and whinning and she didn't make a peep. Just let the groomer do her thing...she said she was such a good girl. It was quite windy when we left so her little face hair got in her eyes but at least you can she her hair...we think she is beautiful
