I don't have a lot of experiences with groomers, maybe just 2 at most. First time I went is just for nail clipping because I didn't know how to do it myself. I went to the groomer nearest to my house and she actually thought me how to do it. She is a very nice lady except that I have seen her left a dog (it was a small female yorkie) on the table and she walks out to take phone calls and I am not very comfortable about that. I know upon request, she'd let me stay if I send my baby there for grooming but I never did. Second time, I went to another groomer that I get to stay but not in puppy's view to make the groomer's life easier but they nick his butt and paw and they didn't tell me so I wasn't happy about it. After that, I went to buy my own clippers and now I do it. It saves money and I don't have to worry about people cutting him. I am very gentle but firm with him and I give him treats from time to time and I give him time out if the grooming gets too long because I like to keep his body coat short and neat. I think he is happier when I do it because there is no rushing to get him done and he get lots of treats. |
