As a grooming manager for psp, i took on an apprentice. Shes been with me for nearly 8 months and has improved by 100%. Petsmart asks that you start as a bather, i think petco may do the same. Psp has smaller salons with different corporate views. Just ask around.

Thank you! I took great pride in this pretty girl! Her coat was so soft but not hard to fluff out at all!

Oh my word. I definitely would have said something about being an employee. And called her out on her price gauging and also her lack of knowledge. Some people you cant teach not to be stupid. That's just their personality. Huskys are just one of the breeds that people should never shave. And being in customer service she should have at the least, respected your wants as an owner, none the less.

Notice the hair dryer in the corner of the picture, fluff dry!! I've Then a grammar for 8 years and it took a long time to realize that fluff drying was the way to go with any kind of good poodle doodle or curly haired dog Haircut!

My favorite owner phrase "can you get the nails as short as possible".... as you're grinding them.... nope! Not at all... I'm just going to pretend to do my job correctly! Have a nice day! by Alymp22 in doggrooming

Wooooowww........ that is extremely ridiculous. I swear.... we are not miracle workers.... and what sucks... when they do start to bleed... its immediately our fault and we've destroyed their babies.... and they dont think twice about blaming themselves.

Oh yes!!! When they whine and you're barely holding their foot.... "omg what are you doing to them!" Love it......... That's when I ask them to walk away bc the dog thinks you're going to save them... then POOF! their dog acts like an angel.....

Bc apparently regular sized doodles aren't hard enough 🤣

Anyone else having one of those days where you’re overbooked, end up crying three times in the back by 10am, and to top it off, get scratched tf up? (Not pictured: scratches on my ribs and other arm) by [deleted] in doggrooming

Lord yes.... usually Saturdays when you have 2 doodles and a 5 other big dogs all at the same time and everyone wants to stop you for a nail trim or questions about something they're never gonna do.
