[king2005]

I'm SOOOOOO excited!!

Just guess where it is?!?!

Its in a Pet Shop, in the Kennel area!!! I even get people under me!!!


I want to show that I'm prepared & can educate myself.

All I need are different, illness' puppies can get. Then I'll search them online & print the info off, & read it over & over & over, so I'm well prepared for tomorrow.

So far on my list I have:

Parvo
Fleas
Worms (need to find all the diff kinds of worms)


Grooming:
Then I need to find how to properly bathe a puppy, clip their nails, brush them, dry them & whatever else I need to know.


I really need & want this job, ALL help & tips are VERY welcomed.


Thanks in Advanced. :D

If you don't have a lot of the knowledge needed to know for the position you're applying for, then why are you applying for it?? :(

Grooming is pretty self-explanitory; just don't cut the dog's quik while clipping their nails, ummm thoroughly rinse shampoo and conditioner from their coat and make sure to let them THOROUGHLY dry because I know with dogs who have double coats, like Aussies, it can take longer to dry and if not dried properly can lead to skin problems.

I know a lot about caring for puppies & dogs, same with grooming. But what if I forgot something or was told incorrect information. I did care & clean after dogs & puppies at the shelter & I knew when a dog wasn't looking his best.

But there is no harm in learning more & making sure what I know is correct. Also haveing papers so I can show/handout to new puppy owners & the staff is never a bad thing.

[Jessika]

Well if you know then don't worry!!! The only reason why you'd forget is if you were nervous. Just chil out, be CALM, don't freak out, and you'll be fine. :P

[Muddy4paws]

just remember to keep calm because the dogs react on moods and if the pup sees you panicy then it will be harder to control, make sure ypu make a big fuss and talk to them while you work on them, I find that works alot



Good Luck!!

as in baby talk?

[Jessika]

Yes and no -- you just need to talk soothingly to them, not loud. Baby talk might help :)
