Rule no. 1 – Love dogs and gain their trust

 The most important thing is to know how to differentiate between breeds of dogs to recognize which type of grooming style goes with it. This has been approved by the American Kennel Club (AKC), which is the organization that sets breeding standards and cuts in America. The hairdressing cut cannot vary, although there are many professionals who like to innovate. However, if you want to do something different to a specific type of dog, you should first consult it with the dog owners.

Pet owners will often come up with crazy ideas to personalize the cut and make their dogs look more like them, you should know how to differentiate this and advise customers who probably still think a pet is a stuffed animal.

Weekends will be your busiest days, so it’s very important that you use your time wisely and establish times for each session, to make the most out of these days.

Win the trust of the animal with some caresses and holding it firmly, you should always be in control so you can do a good job.

It’s possible that at the beginning of your grooming career you’re only responsible for the bathing and washing part, but don’t be discouraged, that’s an amazing start and the perfect way to gain confidence and sensibility to work with small canines. Remember that the animal will always be stressed and nervous and it’s up to you to calm it down and make it feel safe in your hands.

Finally, provide this service from your home or local or by travelling to your customers. This way, you’ll make yourself known and people will speak well of you. It’s important that you do a good job from the beginning and that you’re patient with the pets and their owners.
