Okay, I have a mobile groomer who comes every 6 weeks or so do groom my girls. Lucy is 9 months and this we just had her second grooming. I didn't have her do her anal glands the first time because I wanted to keep it short and sweet for her first time. But she has just started scooting her butt so this time the groomer took her out back, put a leash AROUND HER NECK (Her first time with something around her neck. I use a harness) and then proceeded to express her anal glands. She yelped SO LOUD and turned and twisted like a little bucking bronco and ran and then came to the end of the leash and of course she was still running and so went right off her feet! Scared BOTH of us to death (me and the pup). The groomer acted like it was all perfectly normal for her to scream like that and maybe that's so but I was so upset about the leash incident. She said it didn't really hurt her, it was more just surprise. I really appreciate having a groomer that comes to the house but I don't think she knows all that much about yorkies and now I don't know if I'm over-reacting or if she should have done things differently. My main concern is my dogs. I know you'll all be truthful. Am I over-reacting?
