These are fun to make and of course the game is fun to play. But, some of them will have to wait for another time.Īfter seeing the variety that a quick play time produced, I decided the best way to share them was to create a Matching Game. I came up with a whole slew of ideas for this stamp set. I decided this was the perfect time to really give my Balloon Builders stamp set a workout. Our design challenge this month was to create something with animals - a wink at the dog days. Don’t forget to click “next” near the bottom of this post to continue on.

But if you really want to know, feel free to ask. Why? Because your dog is not being bad – he’s just being a dog! They don’t sweat the small stuff like we do. Unless a dog’s behavior prohibits me from completing a good groom, I’ll rarely let a client know. Other dogs have difficulty with some (or occasionally all) aspect of the groom. Some dogs have learned to tolerate the grooming process for the treats (or positive attention) that occurs during or after a grooming session. Most dogs don’t like being groomed, and that’s perfectly normal. This is a great question, because most of you will never see the behaviors your dog exhibits on the grooming table at home! Unless you perform the same procedures on your dog at home, you couldn’t know how he/she behaves. How does my dog behave during the groom session? I’ve also had clients bring in pictures of their dog after a groom, which illustrates exactly how they want their dog to ultimately look. It’s great for getting folks on the same page. I often refer to AKC pictures as a starting point so that I can make visual references to length and style of a breeds cut. If it is the first groom, it can sometimes take 2-3 sessions to get the style “just right.” If you know how you like your dog styled, be as specific as possible with your groomer. I explain to my clients that if they aren’t happy with their dog’s groom, they can bring him/her back within 2 weeks for a free trim up.
The sooner you and your groomer can reach a mutual understanding about how you want your dog groomed, the better your relationship will be. For example, “short” to your groomer may not look quite the same as “short” does to you. Groomers aren’t always able to see things as their customers do. I am the same way with my hairdresser! But the worse thing you can do is not say anything and be unhappy. Many people are uncomfortable asking this one, and it’s understandable. Don’t be afraid to ask questions of your dog’s groomer.
