As a dog groomer I can not believe that your groomer would tell you to give your dog something and that the groomer didn't want you to stay with her to help. I work for Petco and it is against our policy to work on a dog that has been medicated for that reason.
As for you staying.............normally the dogs will act up worse if you are standing within sight but not close enough to touch. If I have an unruley dog, I ALWAYS give the owner the option of staying and helping to control the dog.
My opinion...............your groomer just either didn't want to do the dog or had some reason for not wanting you there. A groomer that will not let you be there isn't a groomer that I would reccomend.
