@jools1981 I alway work with the owners on that. I’ve groomed some dogs who are muzzle trained, who are aggressive without it but do well with it. I’ve also groomed dogs who are worse with a muzzle. If it is unexpected aggression, I use an e collar.

@macb This used to happen at my first store ALL THE TIME. Petsmart two blocks away and a petco on the same street 10 minutes down the road in both directions. It would have been nice to have this new system where we can see appointments at other stores! We had petsmarts number at our desk so...
