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. |
I don't think a dog should be as a puppy completely trained. that's what I Meant. Chewie has a nasty phobia about her little areas, and I had to find a good groomer that would work with her, and not just tell me whatever and shave her any way. Yes, that happened. Four times. I found a groomer that works with puppies that either have phobias, like my Chewie who got a bad groomer at a "well regarded grooming place" or puppies who bite. she insists on a muzzle on any puppies that might bite, and can work with them. I don't know about dogs. This guy has a puppy. I seriously doubt having a puppy of my own that his puppy bites hard enough or seriously enough that will cause pain and to be asked not to come back. I'm sure you're a fantastic groomer. I like you as a person, and you seem to know what you're saying. However, I am telling you, I've met people who have lied to my face while smiling and have now made my puppy scream after grooming and tuck her poor butt down UNTIL Sandy. Any groomer that just gives up like that seems to be causing more of an issue.
