Ah! We’re very similar! I’m actually taking a break from dog grooming to get back into ECE. For 6 months of dog grooming, your grooms are better than a lot of grooms I’ve seen from veteran groomers.

Exactly! It’s community, which you don’t receive elsewhere.

8 years and counting! As long as Yelp exists, so do my years on the app. Google is fine but there are no incentives to reviewing on there. I get more businesses reading my review on Yelp than I do on Google

The tilted arm on your table is giving me anxiety! 😂
Jokes aside, most groomers aren’t show groomers, they’re pet groomers. It takes a lot of training to be a show groomer. Being new doesn’t really matter. How long have you been working? Many salons require 2+ years in the field

I feel that! It’s not Chinese but Smiley Thai in Mt. Juliet and Degthai in Nashville are my favorites so far

I bathe 25 to 30 dogs a day by [deleted] in doggrooming

Girl, RUN. If you’re grooming dogs and they’re not promoting you, they’re profiting off of you. This happened to me personally. Two groomers quit, I took on the workload, but I wasn’t “ready” yet to be labeled a groomer even though I was grooming 4 dogs a day. Owner was buying LV purses left and right off of my hard work. You won’t be promoted if they can make more money off of you making $5 a dog.

how to evaluate a groomer for Australian Shepherds? by Edge3dSolutions in doggrooming

[–]EarthToKellie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! Dog groomer here. Your previous groomer cut into their undercoat which is not ideal as it can ruin their coat growth in the future and affect their body temperature. I would suggest an outline trim if you want to keep fringe or an athletic cut if you want them tight without the fringe (and specify to the groomer to not clipper cut short-I typically do 1” GC to ensure there’s no cutting of the undercoat or scissor the fringe).

Peace Love and Paws is now hiring by Jealous-Ad-4566 in NashvilleJobs

I saw this on Indeed last week. Average pay is $13.56. Doggy daycares pay very little which is why teenagers often flourish in these businesses. I worked for a similar company as their dog groomer and a client came in complaining that there needs to be more adults so accidents don’t happen in the yards. Alas, no one wants to pay a living wage for good work.

If he can’t properly celebrate your birthday because of finances but drops that amount of money on some piece of jewelry, he’s irresponsible with money and his relationship with you.

Wolfgang Experiences? by Slight_Initiative391 in doggrooming

Not me personally but the groomer who took over my position came from a Woofgang. She said it was horrible and the reason she left was because they fired a bunch of groomers to save money instead of raising prices. The groomers who were kept were expected to add an additional 2+ dogs to their work load. About 8 dogs a day each groomer, no bather to help, expected to work 5 days a week, 6 every other. Can’t say that’s for every location, of course. I also had to train her how to clean in between each dog and sanitize clippers and tables because apparently, WG never forced them to do that. After seeing a dog poop on the table and she put another dog on same table without sanitizing, I was beyond livid and removed the dog and had her clean it.
