| Scooter Finally Got a GREAT Grooming! I've had Scooter for about a year now, and I took him to get groomed ONE TIME at Petsmart and was so mad I wouldn't take him to another groomer. They did NOTHING and I paid $40! He did not look different at all!!!! I was so mad! So anyway, a local groomer contacted me for some training info on a foster pup she has, and I asked if she'd be willing to trade her grooming skills for training, and she said yes! So...yesterday was Scooter's first groom with Kate and she did exactly what I wanted! He's clean, has a great puppy cut, had his nails trim, and looks groomed!!!! I was so excited!!! Am I the only one who shied away from groomers based on one bad experience? (I've been trimming his hair myself since that first bad experience...) |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I decided to learn to do this too because of all that bad experiences, I've read, and I guess I'm somewhat of a control freak. I think explaining what you want is harder than doing it your-self. You can explain and leave pictures, and they say, "yes, I understand", but then they do something completely different. To be fair, a few groomers have written in and said that in the first grooming experience you won't see a lot of change, because they try to make that as pleasant as possible; for if the first one goes well they usually aren't afraid after that. As a behaviorist you can probably see the validly of that statement.
