    What question from owners makes you short-circuit at it’s stupidity?

    @clare100 There was a client at Petsfart who took advantage of the “customer is always right” BS philosophy and would come in 2-3 weeks after their groom and insist the groomer did not cut her dog’s nails….she did this for years! Thus, she got a free nail trim between every groom for years. When...

    What do doodle owners mean when they say to not look their doodle too poodle-y?

    @braininvat There really is no standard terminology for this haircut, it’s simply your preference for your dog’s look. As long as you use specific words, lengths, and body parts, the groomer should understand. You can always show a new groomer photos of your pet after he was freshly groomed...

    Advice needed: confronting groomer about damp dog

    @karosti If you’re afraid they’ll mistreat your dog after you’ve shared your honesty…rethink if you want to go back. You sound like a responsible pet owner that any groomer would be happy to work with.

    I got THAT doodle owner…

    @bigred78 It sounds like you have a good boss that will stand behind your decisions! That’s golden, lean on that! Hopefully you are charging enough because if you continue to brush the matts and do a great job, this owner will request you. Make the owner sign something if you do ever have to...

    Advice needed: confronting groomer about damp dog

    @steveo It doesn’t have to be polite to be a possibility. As a generality, bathers are a lot younger, even more rushed, overworked, underpaid, and under appreciated than groomers are. I’m not knocking bathers as human beings, how they’re treated as a whole isn’t usually fair. Since the OP has a...

    I’m a dog owner who’s been through a scheduling nightmare today - need a groomer’s POV

    @repent4sins Goldendoodles are a TON of work. They always take longer to groom than expected. I guessed you had a doodle from reading your post. Odds are, the groomers are overworked, are probably being overscheduled and simply can’t handle fitting in yet another doodle. I groomed 4 doodles...

    Advice needed: confronting groomer about damp dog

    @karosti Maaaaybe your dog was booked with a bather and not a groomer. Bathers are always overworked and undertrained (and underpayed). If it was a bather, ask to be scheduled with an actual groomer, which is good practice for any salon you go to!! Bathers and groomers are entirely different things.

    PSA to men who ask us groomers if they can get a haircut too, please stop. It’s creepy

    @bonitadan My dream in life was to marry a barber or masseuse and open a business together.
