(no wonder she hates her bath!) So the snorting was probably due to the inexperience of the assistant who got water up his nose. (maybe??). The tearing sounds like shampoo in his eyes or maybe too much water??? I'd stick to the regular groomer, of course many groomers utilize assistants for the bathing part, whereas they stick to the cutting, so she wouldn't be lying if you asked her to do the grooming and she said she would...so you might ask that she do it all (bathing and grooming(cutting). I just learned to do it myself. Got clippers when they first came home and "trimmed" them regularly with them until they got used to them, now I say, "who wants their butts shaved?" or "Who wants their ears shaved?" and they come running and wait in line (I know weird, but it works).

That's exactly what I thought about the water/ soap - I am going to buy clippers- my mom got me osters? but I need to look into what exactly the right clippers would be for butts, ears and belly/ pee pee area- it would save me money and worry. I tried to use them once and turned them on and Keoki looked at me like " ARE YOU CRAZY?!" lol and i thought- maybe he's right-lol but I am going to watch some videos and read and do the in betweens . I have been going to this groomer for a while but think I may try someone that allows me to be there or I will bring him back to my lady and make sure it's just her and no assistants. I'm sure she had no idea what this assistant was doing. I can't believe your babies line up for a shave!!!! How?!!
I am very impressed.
