I always stay at the groomer while Huey is there, but all we ever have done is feet and nails since I do the rest myself(now). His very first grooming as a little puppy, I left him for the full grooming and they did not follow my directions, so I never went back there and I have never left him anywhere since. A couple of groomers had an issue with that, so they came off the list. I finally found one I love. In the meantime, I took him to petsmart (this was when I was teaching myself to groom him and he needed evening out

) because they have a large window where you can watch the whole time. I have read so many horror stories on here about groomers, I am completely paranoid about leaving him unattended anywhere.
