| Grooming myself is what I SHOULD have done!! Pixie's first groom last week was not good! I could have done a better job myself...seriously! watching this woman hack at pixie's hair..there was no skill involved! and it would have been far less stressful for pixie, I had to trim the long hairs the 'groomer' missed and pixie stood calmly still while I did it! she spent most of the time trying to escape when the groomer touched her! If i can't find a good reputable groomer I will be doing it myself!

| I actually took Cosmetology & decided not to do it for a living because I don't like ppl hair that I dont know... lol... But I cut my bf's hair, and I also cut Roxy's hair. Cutting her hair is much easier than cutting his... She moves less lol. I always cut around the top of her knows right between her eyes, cause the hair grows and get in there... and she stands so still!!! She is such a good girl... I just basically cut everything straight thats all around the same place... it always looks great... Thats why I want to get into Grooming. I am going to start looking for a place to train me...

| I do the grooming myself....with 4 standard poodles.....it saves a ton of money. I learned from a book and trial and error....and beleive me there were some errors. The best had to be the time I had one looking like Woody Wood pecker....lol.....poor lil thing. But, am very very pleased to say I do a good trim now. Enough so that I have my own grooming area complete with hydromassage and electric table. In my area the "Pet Something" shops want approx. $95 to $100 a trim for a standard size poodle. Ouchie!! |
