Did Your Dog Have a Bad Experience at the Groomer?
So many doggy parents have had a bad experience at the groomers. This experience can turn them off from ever wanting to seek any dog groomer services. The sad thing about that is it's their dog that suffers due to that one experience. There are many reasons someone may have had a bad experience when taking their dog to the groomer. A typical experience is an awful haircut. This may not seem like a big deal to some people, but it really is to the dog owner. Not only are you paying for a service that you are unsatisfied with, but you also have to be reminded of the experience every time you look at your dog, or at least until their hair grows out.How to Make It a Better Experience
Make an appointment with the groomer for a simple walkthrough. During this time, check out the facility, see if it's clean and organized, ask all the questions you want, and observe them (if allowed) grooming another dog. They may encourage you to bring your dog during this appointment to get them comfortable with the surroundings. Check out how they react, make sure you and your pet are comfortable with the groomer and facility.Make sure the groomer or groomers are friendly. It's important that they are patient, knowledgeable in specific cuts depending on the dog breed, and have experience in grooming. You don't want to put your dog in the hands of a rude or impatient groomer. It is highly likely that is the way they will treat your dog. This makes for a horrible experience for your dog.
Observe how the groomer listens to what it is you want to be done with your dog and make sure they provided the cut that you wanted. During pick-up time, observe your dog’s behavior when you pick them up. Of course, they will be happy to see you, but they should not act as if they can’t wait to get away from the grooming place. They should not shy away from the groomer or feel uncomfortable around them. If they do, then they may be being abused or handled too rough while no one is around.
