So, in your instance you appear to fall into the first category. If you think people haven't had good experiences and there are not any good cops than your eyes are closed and you are only seeing what you want to see. Sorry you had bad experiences, but not all of us have.
Need I remind...
You have to realize that anyone who says that they've only ever had bad experiences with "cops", and that they all suck or are bad either has his eyes closed to what's going on and sees only what he wants, or is a person who really has social issues and probably has been less than an honest or...
I am a mobile groomer, and I groom for one woman who has 12 dogs...4 shih tzus, 4 maltese, and 4 yorkies. When I first got the call I have to admit I was nervous about what I would find. I was pleasantly surprised. The 12 dogs live in a gorgeous house (she's a vice president of a major...

I'm sorry, I haven't been here in awhile so just saw this post. It's probably too late now, but without a doubt the best grooming book out there is "Notes from the Grooming Table" by Melissa Verplank. Its sold at Whitedog Enterprises website.
I have a question? 18 dogs by yourself 1/2 hr each? This must mean that you have someone doing the bathing and drying for you? I know that it takes me about a 1/2 to do a cut, but the bathing, drying etc. takes additional time. I'm just curious, because I cannont imagine being able to do...
When I do a puppy for the first time, I always tell the customer that the most important thing is for the grooming experience to be as pleasant as possible. I let them know that the first grooming is to get the puppy used to the sounds and procedures that are used during the grooming process...
I am a groomer, and there are some things that I've read that are upsetting. First of all the comment that petsmart will hire anyone who will pick up clippers. That is simply not true and they have very strict safety policies. If you look up all the deaths people are talking about, they've...
And people are so quick to put down CKC (Continental Kennel Club), not Canadian Kennel Club. I find it funny that most BYB and commercial breeders tend to register their dogs with the CKC, yet most puppy store puppies are registered AKC. Come on, can't convince me that those papers are...

You may want to go to www.groomers.net or www.petgroomers.com. Someone on those websites would be able to answer your questions about dying. They are actually very helpful, professional people who are more than willing to help instead of degrade. If you go...
