I don't blame you - I was devestated when I realized Chanel was mis-handled and was SO SCARED to go to another groomer - Chanel is an ANGEL at the vet and groomer so I knew they really did hurt her.

I checked with my vet and asked them ask their yorkie clients what groomer they went to - Finally I was referred to a groomer an hour away and went there for a while -they are the ones who could tell she was probably treated too rough.....After time - I decided I just need to do her myself and this saves all the worry.

The other thing I did was take Chanel in my car - We had a 'LETS INTERVIEW GROOMERS' Day....together we walked into 3 different groomers that were close to my house. I asked the questions while watching them and how they were with Chanel. I let HER show me if she liked them or not - she only responded to one woman and I did try her - I wasn't to thrilled when she cut Chanels feet wrong....

It's REALLY REALLY hard finding a groomer you trust AND like !

The only advise I can offer is try to find someone who really trusts and likes their groomer - and try going there - I have a groomer near me that a vet refers the more fearful dogs to - he seems really nice but I haven't tried him...I found him the day I just walked into a couple of places with Chanel -

The other thing I would do is write that groomer a letter and make sure who ever she works for gets a copy -

Also - Check SEVERAL Vets and ask them if they can give you a name to try and explain what happened - some vets know a gentle groomer and can help you.
