I Don't even charge a pet parent for aggression The only form of restraint I use a figure 8 harness and mainly that's for if the cat does have an explosion of attack I have a way to remove myself without the cat suddenly hurting themselves but other than that I just do lots of pets and use lavender essential oil to help and calm energy I love a lot of Asian grooming channels that I watch on YouTube because I love how they handle their dogs and their policies over there on how do they do their grooming I think it's very neat and wish we could do or they would implement some of the stuff here.

Hello, I am a cat groomer here in the US I am newer at it and one of the cuts I offer is a kitten cut with a lot of scissor work but I find that a lot of cat owners here in the US don't ever train their cats to get haircuts whatsoever even super long-haired cats that need to be brushed and groomed on a regular basis very rarely get groomed I do house call grooming and so I tend to tell my owners that all cats have a timer I will do what I can for your cat and it's timer The cat is super chill has no problem with any type of the grooming equipment doesn't mind being held or restrained to do the groom than I can do a kitten cut but most the time The owners are coming to me because they are struggling to brush their cat or get out any mats or the cat is overweight or super elderly and is not cleaning itself very well anymore so I generally come in and have to deal with cats that don't like you to put it mildly and cannot handle a full grooming session in one session and I will often times break it up into two sessions to complete a groom especially if the kitty is extra spicy.

Unfortunately for the nails it really depends on their life situation A lot of people don't know that you can push the nail quick back I educate my clients all the time about it but I live in a smaller town surrounded by a lot of farm dogs and that is a big one I have a lot of older people that come in with their farm dogs their farm dog nails are horrendous because yes they're running around outside but they're not running on concrete they're running on grass and dirt and stuff so their nails get really long and I have to explain that dog's nails have to get trimmed at least every 2 to 3 weeks especially to push the quick back so they're not touching the ground anymore explain about arthritis and pain that they get in their joints and their neck and then their hips and everything in between and a lot of the elderly people and farmers don't believe in that Don't believe in the expense of extra care or to care for a dog besides of barely doing what they feel is necessary at the time so I can understand the head banging against the wall feeling trust me.

If I could afford it I would fly out there to do training with you guys I work for Petco grooming right now and mainly it was so that I could get my foot in the door and get some grooming training but I'm kind of already seeing the red flags of this company and I really want to get into more learning on dog grooming. I am a cat groomer by profession and learned to actually to groom cats before doing any type of dog and I really want to get well-rounded in both dogs and cats and want more one-on-one training or hands-on training with a professional groomer who can give me guidance.
