I won't go to a groomer anymore - we do all our grooming at home. We may not be the best at it, but it's what we prefer. A few different groomers hurt our oldest, Wylie, and we just can't do it now. He was very traumatized by it - and for a year-and-a-half, he shook just at the mere sight of a brush. Also, for the last 5 years - he is still terrified of the nail cutter bc they always cut his quick, which is very painful.
That said, I know there are very skilled, caring groomers out there
