I agree with everyone above that if the groomer doesn't listen to you, then the groomer isn't a good fit.

Don't think of it as a confrontation. You are simply advocating for your pup's best interests.

I'm like Ann and do all grooming at home myself. My boys' coats aren't perfect, but it is one less thing I have to worry about. It takes a little practice, but gets easier over time.
