Yes, she's a brat with this technique, as she will continue to do her high pitched barking, but the biting is slowing down.
A groomer said he's not welcome back? Are they serious? What kind of dog and pony show do they have over there?! Count your blessings and get a groomer who actually can work with wayward dogs, which is their JOB. That makes me SO mad that I'm smiling, and not in a good way. What a WIMP that groomer is. GRRR!!!! You're better off, I promise. |
I happen to be a groomer. I have only refused to groom 2 dogs in my 14 years. However im not sure where you got the idea its the groomers JOB to work with wayward dogs??? A groomers job is to cut your dogs hair ,bathe..etc. not deal with an aggressive dog or a dog so scared that its going to hurt itself.
Groomers can be liable for dogs getting hurt.
If i ever have a dog so scared or aggressive that its going to give itself a heart attack or going to hurt itself from frantically trying to get away they get sent home. I will work with them in shorter sessions trying to get them used to it.
But it is 100 % owners reaponsibility to train their dogs. Not the groomers.
While i do not refuse dogs like this, there are many larger grooming business who do not allow a dog who bites period. And a sick/ or scared to death dog who could hurt itself is also not allowed back because of liability issues.
