The two year sequel

Alright! It has obviously been a while! 2 years, to be exact. 

Anyway, I am officially returning to blogging because let's be honest, I can do much better than what I did before, plus I really need a life. And we all know bloggers lead the fullest lives ;)

So, for todays blog, let's go ahead and share with you guys a few of the things that I have learned as a dog groomer. (One year of experience as of last month, and four and a half months of grooming full time!)


1. Dogs have an automatic "sit" trigger, if you lift up their tail to do their sanitaries, 95% of the time they will automatically sit down.

2. Dogs that are aggressive, usually let you know within the first couple minutes or seconds of you touching them. (Coming later, the different personalities of dogs that are brought to the salon.)

3. If a dog IS aggressive, use a towel to put over their head. Towel= best friend. Ever. If the dog isn't able to see what's going on, it's a lot harder for him/her to be upset about it, also, most dogs won't be able to bite through the towel and actual cause any harm to you if you put it over their head and pick them up quickly enough.

4. Every dog reacts in different ways when they are brought to a grooming salon. You have the anxious ones, the nervous ones, the aggressive ones, the happy ones, etc. However, no matter what kind of emotion they are feeling, it goes away for every. single. one of them. as soon as lunch time comes around and you have food. Then, they all go into begging mode, suddenly remembering they are still normal dogs.

5. Dogs are about respect, and they will sense any doubt from you if you do not hold your confidence high. It is AMAZING, how different the dogs will act if you are confident.


Looking forward to sharing more with you guys!
