| Very Very Angry I took ava to her first grooming today, Very specifically I said ONLY TRIM HER EARS, BUTT AND PAWS because we are growing out her coat. Groom says ok no problem I pick her up only to discover she cut her top knot hair down so far I can't even clip it and SHAVED the top of her nose I'm gonna say somewhat like a shnauzer. she looks terrible. I was so angry I asked why she cut her top hair and she said "it was in her eyes and you didn't tell me not to." I said "well I told you not to cut anything but the exact areas I said, and I told you we were growing it out" I was so angry I had to leave and called hubby, he is going to call and complain. Yeah no more trips to that groomer.

| she looks totally differant. And totally Not like ava. Please excuse the clothes she is standing by. I was re organizing my closet when I picked her up. She now has her self buried under a blanket, I think she hates her cut too. I added a picture of her face before and then the two now.

| I always have, but DH wanted us to take her. Because she is a puppy and incase we ever need her groomed for something ...god I'm mad! I'll be doing it now! Am I being super sensitive or does she look silly? I'm having a bad day anyways and this just got me so mad!

| That happened to Buster this summer. I used a mobile groomer cuz I was feeling lazy, and asked for his usual, a Westie cut....instead we got the Fruit Bat cut!! He looked awful and he knew it too! Luckily her hair will grow out fast....keep looking for a groomer. A good groomer is like a good stylist, once you find a good one stay with them. Here is a pic for reference....Buster will kill me if he knows I posted this so keep it on the down low, LOL!!

| aww poor guy. Isn't it funny how they know? Ava did NOT like that lady let me tell you what. She is not happy camper. I won't tell that you posted his picture! I wouldn't mind the hair on her head if she had shaped it or something, but the nose? she SHAVED the top of her nose!!! WHO DOES THAT?

| This is why I groomed Meka myself. She'll be a year next week and I JUST found a groomer w/ the experience (25 yrs) that I was needing. You really do need to do the research on a good groomer. Just taking them to random places just doesnt cut it, cause you never know what your gonna get. Also, if you take your pup to the groomer for the first time, that groomer should be more than willing to make you feel comfortable and even allow you to sit with them on the first cut... None the less, your baby is a cutie regardless... and hair does grow back

That happened to me the first time I brought Bitsy to a groomer. I told the groomer to not to cut the hair on her head or the hair on her nose but she did it anyways. It's been 4 months and the front hair is still too short to do a proper topknot I'm still fuming over that first groomer. And no matter what, your baby is still super cute!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I have read so many stories like yours that I don't take Joey to the groomer except for nail trims. Your baby is a cutey, but I understand why you're upset. It's different, if you hadn't talked to her, but after feeling like you communicated your wishes and she ignored them completely you have a right to be angry. There is a breeder and groomer review forum on YT and I think you should name names. This person clearly shouldn't be trimming yorkies. Dog's really don't have a clue what they look like, but they can read you feeling's accurately. So do everything you can to make this little darling to feel beautiful again!

| i actually went to her on a reccomendation!!! I was so scared that this would happen. I just KNEW it would. But it does grow back. I just feel like maybe I shouldn't have had to pay the full amount since she screwed up. Dh is taking care of it. He is more angry than I am. I just wanted to get out of there. I was on the verge of being VERY nasty. Ill pass the cute comments on to Ava, she needs a self esteem boost at the moment lol.
