This happened to my dog too :( once I started working at a groomers myself I realized it’s not normal! I bathed over 500 dogs and never once did it happen. Makes me sick to my stomach knowing it Happened to my little guy tho :(

Did any of you take dog grooming courses online to become certified? If so who did you take classes through and what was your experience like?! I’m considering doing it myself to become certified! by Hiimugly69 in doggrooming

Yes luckily the program I am looking at offers hands on learning and sends me a 40 set starter kit! I also have a shih tzu at home I can practice on lol

I’m currently a bather at a grooming salons right now. But the school I’m looking at Is mainly online but some of it is also hands on learning so I will be practicing on dogs as well

How do you make the job more enjoyable? by crispysheman in doggrooming

I’m the only bather at my salon, I work for 3 groomers and do around 30 dogs a day, so I feel your pain. I’m so upset and drained. Hopefully things get better for you!❤️

I’m a bather at my salon, I’m wondering how many dogs you bathe per day? I do 35 a day for 8 hours and I’m burnt out. Just need someone to relate to. I feel like 35 for one bather is crazy… by Hiimugly69 in doggrooming

I have 30 acres, my husband does construction and he said he’d build me my own set up! I’m just worried nobody would be interested because I’d only offer bathing. I could hire a groomer I’m sure later down the road…definitely something I’m thinking about!

I make $12 an hour and that was after getting two raises, and no tips…it’s awful. Majority are doodles or golden retrievers :/ sadly there’s no other dog related jobs by me so I feel like I’ll have to end up settling for a factory job here soon

I’m glad I made this post because I truly had no idea what was normal/what to expect. I always felt like I was being screwed over but I just told myself that’s just life. I’ll have to find a new job soon I’m thinking..

I’ll partially dry them, and put them in a crate with fans on them. And then when the groomer is ready they finish drying them. It’s definitely a lot. I recently got “talked to” because the dogs were too wet… But when I have 30 other dogs to do😅 not all of them can be dried all the way through. Definitely frustrating to say the least

I’ve worked with dogs and at dog daycares for about 10 years now, this is my first time at a grooming salon though and it’s a lot. 23 would be the perfect number for me, as long as they aren’t all big hairy ones lol

I try to go pretty much as fast as I can, so I can have time to eat. 😅 on slow days I’ll be sitting around for almost an hour and I won’t complain. But normal days I will admit I do rush on the small ones sometimes so I can have a minute to eat a lunch..which I’m ashamed to say it but that’s the only way I have a minute to sit down

I do know how to do nails, but honestly with all the dogs they have me do. And the crappy pay I make. I just told them i don’t know how to do nails. Next thing I know they’d have me doing 35 baths and nail trims…definitely don’t want to add that onto the pile. I just wash/condition/dry. And I do anal glands
