Paisley will be 15 weeks old this week and I will be needing to find a trustworthy groomer soon. I've spoke with a couple on the phone, but neither really seemed to care how I felt

Paisley doesn't even liked to be conbed most of the time. Doing it when she is sleepy is the best time.
I have used the hair dryer to dry her twice. the second time she was better with it. Still a little unsure.
I would like to take her to a groomer where I can stay and watch while she's being groomed. ... at least the first time or two.
I sure don't want someone doing something to hurt her or something that scares her so bad that she'll never want groomed again.
I think I may take Paisley to town one day and just go visit all the groomer's shops. Meet them and see their place and see how things work.
