    Thinking about quitting salon I’m at, please tell me if I’m overreacting

    @kayreborn Which I totally agree. I’ve really only stayed as long as I have because I feel bad for them. They’re all elderly so I do kind of look at them like grandparents. I truly did think I was helping at first but I don’t like forcing dogs to do anything. Especially old ones.

    @jesusboosted I think the biggest problem is the salon has gotten as far as it has on people pleasing. They like that they can bring their dog in any kind of way without any repercussions or extra fees. I didn’t even add that we do not check for rabies paperwork or keep any of it on file. We...

Surprisingly no one’s complained about that but I think it’s because the owner has really loyal clients and they all sympathize because they know they’re older. Plus the shop is...

Left grooming entirely because of the typical corporate problems and took almost the entire year of 2023 off. Came back around...

    What to do after dog grooming?

    @trumpeter2 I’m 22 and in the same boat as you. I’ve looked into bartending and was able to find a school that also helps you get a job afterwards. I’m also thinking about going back to school for cosmetology. I would highly recommend the bartending when you turn 21, if you can afford the...

    Unsure if I still want to pursue Dog Grooming (Help)

    @sjcargill I feel like Ik exactly the place you’re at and it drove me to that point as well. I was there for almost three years before I left. My mental health was in a terrible place and no matter how much I complained to management, they did not care. I even tried transferring to another store...
