This is terrible. I wouldn't allow my dog anywhere near her.
My groomer has a closed off room with glass so you can watch him. He only handles one dog at a time and crates them before leaving or getting another dog. I've seen him need to stop what he's doing a few times and he always secures the dog in a crate before leaving the room.
When he's working on my dog I stand there and stare at the back of his head.

Call your groomer and let her know. If she does care then it'll be good feedback. If she doesn't care, then it's her loss.

I walked into a groomer one day to get prices and check them out. There was one person there grooming a dog. Had it on the table in the noose. When I walked in the room, she came out of the grooming room to the front to speak with me and left the dog on the table in the noose. I walked right out. I know I'm paranoid, but neither of my boys have been to a groomer because I just haven't found anyone I can trust. I think it's easy to desensitize in every job, medicine, vet care, grooming, etc. If you have a good, trusted groomer, you are very lucky!
