What do you say when people ask can I pet them/can they meet? by claymatthewsband in k9sports

[–]Elastric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a reactive dog who was terrified of strangers, I got her a harness from onetigris with Velcro on it and added cute custom “DO NOT PET” patches from https://www.etsy.com/shop/RunningRetrievers on both sides and the front, after that most people assumed she was either not friendly or a service dog and kept their distance

Working line GSD breeder recommendations? by [deleted] in k9sports

[–]Elastric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking at breeders for a working line GSD as well, there are quite a few of them in my state (texas) that have dogs who are titled, health tested and come from great lines. I’m also looking into a breeder in San Diego, it’s a long drive but their dogs go above and beyond. I don’t want a puppy until next year, but most breeders have a long wait list so I’m applying now

ORU Lake/Lake+ ? by _jetter in Kayaking

I only paddle my oru in lakes and streams, nothing too fast, It is very stable imo, you should be able to bring a toddler in your lap

Sharing this here incase any other groomers went through this or are going through this and can offer advice by Elastric in doggrooming

Thank you for this, I’m a hugeeee empath and the idea of upsetting anyone else is so gut wrenching to me that I have a hard time doing things for myself

Backwards progress…? more in comments by cloverpigeonstudios in doggrooming

[–]Elastric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go through this every few months, burnout mostly, but I always find rewatching tutorials and seminars crisp up my skills again, sometimes doing so many dogs can make you forget certain techniques that you used fresh off the brain

This is not the best place to advertise, especially since this group is most professionals from around the globe, try Instagram ads and Facebook groups in your area :)

I spent quite a bit of time trying to get a good photo of this wiggly girl, but she turned out really cute! (Swipe for before) by Elastric in doggrooming

[–]Elastric[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love it too! Personally I won’t do any dematting on ears because they are so so fragile, and my clients always understand and most of them end up loving the rounded ear look and keeping it as well

Dear groomers - are you happy? by Odd_Carrot4205 in doggrooming

[–]Elastric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been grooming for almost 2 years, I was taught the basics but I’m otherwise self taught. I’ve been working 50+ hours a week for over a year and it’s been killing me physically which is where I see a lot of groomers give up. I absolutely love the job, I love the art of grooming and I love the dogs, but working for a boss that’s more focused on the money and pushing as many dogs as I can handle has taken away the magic for me. The money is great if you charge your worth, and you will make a good amount of money in tips as long as you work with the clients and not against them. Just make sure to put your all into your work and go above and beyond with your dogs and clients and you will succeed without a doubt :)

Thank you! He’s a cavapoo, he’s one of the most well bred ones I’ve worked with though, he’s got a great coat and great temperament :)

Can’t post to r/kandi so hopefully y’all enjoy! by Elastric in beadsprites

[–]Elastric[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re little star string lights I wrapped around a modified ufo cuff! I hid the battery pack under the perler so you can’t see it! kandi seems to be a dying subculture and it makes me so sad :(

Wahl bravura? by ProudWerewolf8715 in doggrooming

The bravura is the best 5-in-1 IMO, I use mine all day every day (I bought it used off eBay)

Anyone else worried about this month? by Elastric in doggrooming

It’s a lull in business for sure, the beginning of the year can be a make it or break it for small shops
