A question I thought would be interesting

    • Gold Top Dog
    I just remembered something, I have "patted" a dog on the butt when grooming them!  It was this really silly lab/golden/whoknowswhatelse that I groomed often, who LOVED to have his rump thumped (and he also like to cat pounce the water sprayer heh) [;)
    • Gold Top Dog
    The groomer I use doesn't do absolutely the best cut I've ever seen on Tasha. There's a few slightly uneven spots here and there. Since we don't go very short, it's not a safety issue. But...she treats her wonderfully and I trust that Tasha will leave in a cheerful mood and she's always happy to return. Tasha doesn't have aggression issues, but she's not particularly friendly with people she doesn't know well. When we leave the shop, Tasha actually does say "good-bye" by asking for a pet before she goes.
     
    Additionally, I won't go to any "professional" whether groomer, trainer or vet, that starts off expressing a dislike of Chows and Chow mixes. The place we use really likes her and gives compliments on her good behavior and the condition of her coat, teeth etc.
