Im a groomer with many years of experience. I also compete at the highest level, I would NEVER have a mobile service though!
I work from home, dogs are only there for as long as the job takes, owners are welcome to stay although the dogs will behave much better when owners are not there. I have many who drop their dogs off before work and pick them up on their way home.
The Burning will come from crate drying in Stainless steel crates ( the kind you see at the vets) with the heat on high. Its also VERY EXTREME and not common!
I work by myself, so I only do as many dogs per day as I can do myself, by hand start to finish.
Large dogs get a quick blow to get excess water out then finished by hand. Small dogs are finished by hand on the table.
its like any service, not all are professional and not all know what they are doing!
there is a HUGE difference from someone who has been grooming dogs for years and doing a quick TAFE course and buying a mobile bath van!
Yes ask questions and if your git tells you something isn't right say no thank you but don't assume because the groomer doesn't have a TAFE cert to say they can groom that they cant!
I would never waste my time with a Dog Grooming cert through tafe or a grooming school. Ive learnt from very experienced International handlers and breeders and would be happy to pit my work against anyones from a grooming school!
glad to see the nuff nuffs in question will be delt with by law!
