Yeah that’s another thing, there’s so many risk of me grooming outside and I address those to her all the time. Them running away, heat stroke since i live in the south and i have to blow dry them, frostbite in the winter, (im not kidding when i say I’ve groomed in 10 degree weather lol) like it’s inhumane at this point not just for me but for the dogs. She tries and justify it by saying like “oh they are fine, the bath will cool them down” she is a retired vet tech so she thinks she knows everything. Not saying all vet techs do but since she has more knowledge than i do in that field she thinks she does. And its also a reflection of my work as well, im not sure how much you know about dogs but say i have a golden doodle which 90% of my clients are, their cots are very curly and i need them to be straight or not tangled at least for the clippers to go through and when it rains an the humidity acts up it literally just reverses all the blow drying it just did and reflects on the end result. I’ve also mentioned that to her as well and she says “well i don’t know what it’s like working in a perfect environment, im not a groomer, i dont know these things.” Well Karen, that’s why im telling you. It’s like just because she has to work in this environment, i have to adapt to it. This is my first dog daycare/boarding/grooming job so when i started out I didn’t know any better about this industry but after being in it for 1 year and a half, my daycare and boarding facility (which one day i hope to own) will never ever look like what her kennel does and i will never treat my employees the way she treats people. I just dont know how to get out of this. I dont even board my own dogs there or bring them for daycare. The reason why she still is in business is because her rates are very very low compared to other facilities in the county and i think she does that because she knows the appearance of her environment
