This has come at the perfect time!

I'm driving my business into the ground. I'm not happy. It's been 6 years. I started my prices out at half the national average and I'm burnt out so bad

As a newfie owner, their temperament is so people oriented that it makes me sad if this dog is like an LGD and just outside.

What are your favorite dog clippers I’m trying to find good ones I’m a baby groomer and would love some extra device from a veteran dog groomer 😁

Sweet little sheltie. I kneel down on the bathroom floor to bathe my girl.

great video! :)

I have started my own business but it's going slow bc we are also building it out from scratch. And not trying to be deep in debt to actually start it up. My main concern is pricing and how to schedule properly so you're not driving all over the place for no reason. I'm afraid of being too high and people don't want to go with me since most start at 90 here in Las Vegas. And the cost of living in Las Vegas is high.

I also talk to the dogs a lot, give them nick names, sing to them while I’m bathing them. I laughed when you mentioned your phone client contacts. I do the same thing! I have most of my contacts saved as the dogs name and not the owner. I also have a picture of the dog as the contact picture 😄. I struggle to remember the owners names because of this.

Hard agree with the end-ignorance is blissful and I can’t claim ignorance about anything dog related 🫠

At Petco the groomers make $1800 a week. I'm a manager and I've seen their wages. If you're a grooming manager at Petco, you make even more.

NEVER cut a dog! Professional groomer for 8 years

You need to talk about where you went to school and how you found it and how long it was… etc. I’ve been trying to be a groomer for years. YEARS.

I’m going to grooming school in the fall and really want to be an independent business owner one day I’m scrolling all through your videos learning so much thankyou you’re amazing i really appreciate you getting into the business side of things

How are you applying the puck board what type of skrews?? Thank you for making these videos ive been trying to find videos of the process and found yours and they are so helpful !!!

It happens

I’m having trouble clients because people think I’m too expensive. Any advice?

Do you do Reiki on the dogs to calm them down?

Tip #7 is such a great recommendation! Some people love animals, but being around ones that aren't your own can be very eye opening. I currently volunteer at a shelter and it helps build confidence and comfortability in washing and interacting with dogs

I sent you dm, I hope that you help me, I’m building my mobile 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pekes are not the brightest dogs. You shouldn never have them on a table without a restraint. Please trust me.

Do you use a scheduling software to schedule your clients. If so what software do you recommend?

I have been in this business for 18 years,four years on hiatus,I am currently trying to start out on my own,I have some equipment that can get through till I can upgrade,I am mobile and can do house calls,I started abfb page and have many references and loads of pictures in my portfolio…I need to get more clients as most of my original clients have since passed I feel like I’m at ground zero and don’t have an ideas of where to go now…lost!!

I can relate. I am a Pet Stylist/Groomer as well. And because my hair was breaking off in the back. I did not know what to do with it. I finally came to realize it needed to be cut for healthy new growth. I decided to try an Afro. I am African- American. I prayed and asked for guidance from God my Heavenly Father. And with the little stains of long hair I had left(relaxed hair) and 2 inches of new growth of unpermed hair he said you can shape it like you do a Poodles topknot! It turned out perfect! He reminded me I already had scissoring skills from grooming.😂

How do you keep shampoos and conditioners warm or how do you warm them up? The only solution that has worked for me is to add hot water to cold shampoo or conditioner to warm it up. Do you have a better solution?

Dog groomer here! Most people don’t have the best control over their dog on a retractable leash! During check-in they’re not locked on a safe length. (Unsafe would be past 3 feet from their owner where they could easily get close to other dogs who may not be dog friendly) That’s usually exactly what happens when we’re discussing the appointment details and their dog is behind them half way out the store! I think they’re okay for small dogs. Medium and Big dogs I think are much better on non retractable.

It comes down to responsible breeding. Plus how much purchasing power is in the environment. They are popular for a reason. They are smart. Mostly hypoallergenic. Good with childen. Medium energy. I've trained harder dogs. And helped my aunt with her doodle. They are amazing dogs. The main issue is with breeding.

Schnoodle supremacy

I love your honesty! This job is very physical and will beat your body up in ways you never imagined. Everything you said is so true.

Hi I do not have social media but am very interested. I am looking to start by next year and have been watching how you started . I’m looking into converting as well since my husband works in construction. Have some questions if you get the chance

I must be stupid!!! I can't figure out how to DM you!!🙈

How?

Can you please guide me how much it cost so I can help my niece do side hustle

Would be nice to explain why

I have seen your videos. Your videos are really amazing! Your video deserves more views, Links, and Comments. But you are not getting what you deserve. Do you know why? You have some issues. As like: 1. You have not keyword research 2. You have not SEO your video title, and descriptions. 3. You have not your competitor's analysis result. And more issues. If you want to know more. I will help you. Thanks.

I love in Texas and would I need a generater for whenever I start my mobile business

Hi Savannah from Nova Scotia, I had to respond after seeing your video as I think what worked for my dog will also work for Gracie. Briefly, 3 or 4 days after being in Vetmedin, Willa ( my then 13 yr old Jack Russell) started peeing in my bed and inside. I thought about the drug acting as a diuretic for her heart, so it kind of made sense. Then wondered what other things might be contributing to this. I knew for me that after eating potato chips or any other salty food, I had more trips to the washroom. I started researching salt content in her food, treats and then other brands, but they all had quite a bit of sodium - and the vet brands were expensive and didn’t have much substance. I remembered Hilary Watson’s book Complete & Balanced which is a recipe book for Dogs (I think she has one for cats too) and you can get the companion supplement that you stir into the cooked recipes. It is brilliant, and within 3 days, Willa had no more accidents inside. I always gave her her pills rolled in a thin piece of Walmart Swiss cheese slice with another little piece as a chaser (my vet said that was ok) and it has far less salt than other cheeses. The food I make her has no salt. Her energy level has returned, she’ll be 15 in December and she’s a different dog. I’d be happy to share pics of recipes and the product with you privately if you like. I’m not sure how to do it here. Just let me know- it’s been a game-changer. Best to you and your family , Jan

I would love to take a look at this!

😂yes! Us groomers hate them 😅

Ive been following you for AGES! just want to say ur doing an awesome job ❤. Honestly, youve bpunced back from that video you had negative backlash from, and you've done so with full transparency and grace, and shown all of us how to do the same. I just thought I'd reach out to share the love lol. Everyone is always quick to write negativity etc, yet nowhere near as willing to send praise, so here it is 😁👏❤️

Very interested 🙏🏼

Advice to have at least 1 carrier with you. So you can put them or put the dog inside more safety.
