just reread your last post, I see she is new, so I bet she is accomodating. Can you bathe and brush your dog yourself?, if so, why not try this, tell her you have had some bad experiences so you now like to do a mini trial run before leaving your dog there for hours for a complete grooming. Ask her if your dog is freshly bathed and brushed what she would charge for a trim and tell her you would like to be there during the process but that after this first time if you are happy you will be back for regular full groomings. If she is trying to build a business I bet she would be open to this idea |
