I was having a hard time with groomers also. My mom took her Shih-tzu to the same person I had been using and they discussed that we weren't cutting her hair (floor length). Picked her up and she was all but shaved. Anyway, to be a groomer you only have to pay about $1500 for the six week course and after the course is over you're a groomer. It's better to look for someone who is certified and then talk to them for a very long time before you take your dog to them. Make sure they are only going to do what you want. The groomer I use now has called me almost every time we take our dogs to her (we have three that go), sometimes for little things like bow color.
