Hhhhmmmm............needs to learn to be like a dog. Who is she to say? And shes not a dog, she's your baby.
Ummmm...yes, she is a dog. I know, I refer to my yorkies as "my babies" and "the kids" all the time, but the reality is they are dogs. I don't know what happened at the groomers but I just wanted to mention that sometimes puppies will scream the first time at a groomers. It doesn't necessarily mean they are being hurt or mistreated. I have seen puppies scream for literally no reason during grooming on their first visit. The best thing the groomer can do is stay calm and wait out the temper tantrum and the instant the dog calms down, praise her and call it quits. Even if it means sending the puppy home with an uneven hair cut. End on a good note but don't give in the the tantrum. Often the next visit they are perfectly fine because they realize that no one hurt them last time. Some of my best groom dogs were very difficult as puppies.
