I will greet the dog and the owner at the door and welcome them in. I have some forms for newcomers to sign. Then I go over all the grooming details and find out what you want and what you don't want. Then I start the groom. The bath is a foundation of a groom. Next I blow dry the dog, and try to get the dog as dry as possible. This is important for the finished look. If your dog takes more than 15 min to brush I have a $10 matted fee. Next I prep the dog, and I move on to buzzing with the clippers. Finally I scissor to neaten everything and trim the face. The finishing touch is giving the dog an accessory that fits their personality or future holiday accessory.
