Beauty Queen

Lovely Mabel the Miniature Schnauzer’s person sent me a few photos of her after her very first grooming appointment. She looks like a supermodel: I was happy to hear that typically feisty Mabel was a well-mannered young lady during the appointment. That first session can set the tone for future grooming, and predict a lifetime of trouble-free beautification, or an ongoing strip-and-clip smack-down. Most of the dogs I work with enjoy their trips to the groomer – I hear stories of pups literally dancing in to their appointments. How about your dog? Is it a struggle to get your pooch to the salon, or is it a day at the spa for him?
