And also in case the groomer is telling the truth in some cases. I love dogs and all animals. It's not fair for them to be abused.

I have been grooming dogs for 12 years now. I have had some clients stay with their dogs, I worked at a big box store in front of the window, and have worked in several open salons where clients can walk in at anytime. I have also worked with abusive groomers ( and have gotten a few fired). I love my pets that I groom. Sometimes they do act up and I use the utmost patience with them. If I feel like I cannot safely groom a pet, I will let the owner know that he needs to find someone else or If the pet is aggressive ( I work at a vets office) sedation may be in order. I currently work with a groomer who is mean (verbally) to the dogs. I cringe!! I do not want to work with her anymore!! I groom her pets sometimes and they shake like crazy until they realize I'm not going to hurt them!! So, pet owners, be aware that some groomers should not be grooming!! If you want to stay for the groom, the groomer should not have a problem with it. I am sickened to say the least. I have been grooming dogs for 12 years now.

I am presently attending a grooming school in SC and the owner abuses the dogs horrendously. I invested so much money so I have to finish but I would love for the people she grooms for to know about what she does to their animals. Some of the dogs are just pitiful when she slaps them, hits them, shoves them off the grooming table. Some of the dogs are really old. Some of them are in shock or just frantic when they realize where they are. There are a number of groomers who have been in the business for a long time who abuse animals.

I groom dogs for a living, and never have treated them with anything other than total love. Dogs are trusting and loving by nature, they instinctly know when the human has a bad soul. I've been bitten before, but by cats. Those dog who have a phobia about their nails or ears or rearend, usually let you know ahead of time by a low (but not menacing) growl. For those, I mussell and handle with care and extra love and crooning words of encouragement. This man who did this should have the same thing done to him. I would impose a five year jail sentence, $15,000.00 to the owner, a $10,000.00 fine, and loss of his business. What an evil person.

When catcher was brought in to get groomed, the groomer wasn't at work yet. Kalberg didn't know and or remember that catcher didn't like men. So he took him to a kennel not knowing Catcher would attack him. The owner of catcher should of reminded Kalberg of that. Catcher mom should always remind very one that. As well as vets, Groomers, Anyone that comes in to contact with him. You just don't assume that everyone remember. very time. Yes Kalberg went to far but the dog did as well.

A sensitive animal will be more relaxed if he's bathed and combed in his own house with his mom or dad present. If you have a nervous animal, another idea is to have the groomer come to your home.

Um, I think it must have been more deliberate than that. It is particularly heartbreaking when the so-called "professionals" we turn to for help in caring for our pets cause them injury or death through negligence or abuse. For the scores of us who have had this kind of experience with VETERINARIANS, the emotional trauma and horror of knowing you entrusted your pet to someone who hurt or killed that beloved animal is beyond anything I can explain. This individual should not be permitted to run a grooming business anymore. I am affiliated with a growing group of individuals organizing to raise public awareness about dangers posed to our companion animal friends -- by veterinarians, drugs/pharma, groomers, etc. I would like to find a motivated person interested in specializing in the grooming accidents/abuse issue. If anyone knows how I can get in touch with Comin to see if she is interested let me know. Or, if you know someone else who has had similar experiences. Email below.

But I also went to grooming school, and went to watch other groomers. Please people, stay with your animal. There is no reason a good groomer won't let you stay and watch. I have seen things i can't even imagine and they all sounded so nice when talking with their customers. Don't leave them alone with the groomer. I never hurt a dog or cat but have seen so many who have. Especially in the bathtub. I worked as a groomer for 12 years while working for the vet too.

I have known this woman for over 30 yrs and my current dog (who was abused by a man & adopted from a shelter by myself) loves her and I stay with her the entire time she is bathing, drying, trimming her nails, etc. Wish everyone could find a person as special as my groomer.
