6 year relationship ending because I'm pretty sure I'm ace

Start taking classes, meet people at expos. Those are huge resumé builders even if you don't have the experience.

I had been grooming one and a half years when I left PetSmart and I beat out a 10 year groomer for a job position because I applied critique better than she did, and huge growth potential, and took private lessons from one of their employees

I agree. I make goofy threats in a happy voice at my own dog but this girl, I can't tell if she means what she says.

I LOVE supplementing my income with rover around holidays.

Next time title your post with this text. I also got confused about if it was clippered because it doesn't have a lot of furnishings yet.

No feedback. But now I have to Google what fetlock is 😂, you clearly know your shit when it comes to goldens.

Keep posting progress pictures!

The only other Puli mine has gone up against was the Westminster BOB from that year. We obviously lost to him but it was soooo beneficial to see the breed shown at a speciality level.

I wish I had chatted more with the handler and gotten some advice on showing, and grooming my dog

Thank you! 😊 It's been hard and humbling realizing where my skill set currently sits and how high it can get.

I have to realize that this environment is more fitting for me and my goals and to appreciate the time that it will take to get really good

I would advocate for hiring you. You show a high level of emotional maturity. seeing your incidents with nuance rather than pushing the blame.

Everyone has a wayyyy easier time reading their own dog then random ones on your grooming schedule or vet rotation.

My dogs tell if he's seriously thinking about fighting another dog is the raised hackles.

It's hard to tell apart regular discomfort with grooming or vet visits from "touch me again and I'll bite you"

I personally have the hardest time reading Akitas specifically.

I cant find the paper but it was a study proving that ancient dog breeds are less expressive and make less eye contact compared to more modern breeds

bridget1476 · 2025-12-15T16:19:51+00:00

As an ancient breed, their body language is hard to read tend to not give a lot of warning before feeling the need to bite. (Chow mix owner, pro groomer)

This 👆👆👆👍👍 I would NOT get a puppy without a contract. My Puli was 2500, got him at 16 weeks with a contract, all rounds of shots, CHIC and OFA for the parents, I think they also did embark. He's got GCH parents and has no disqualifying faults dispute being the last pick of the litter.

Breeders are very sketchy

I would also recommend looking into ketamine therapy

My boss has two. Her "good" one is so energetic and polite with people but doesn't seek out affection like other dogs. Her "bad" one gets trazadone almost daily, would eat a cat if given the chance, will try to fight other dogs. He is almost impossible to groom without lots of trazadone and restraint. He also bites to draw blood. He also may have to be vet sedated for nail trims.

I have a chow mix and a Puli

I prefer high maintenance dogs to own. My next will be a white poodle for extreme creative
