yup, I want to be a groomer, but it will be my own buisness, I do not want to be in that kind of enviroment, I want to get to know the dogs, I am a very gental person my nature. now Blair is another story....lol you have to be rough to cut his nails, we actually have to give him tranqilizers, and have him pinned under a blenket being held down by at least 2 people just to clip 1 nail, he is absolutly insane, oh he will hand you his paw, but if you dare TOUCH his paw he completly flips out, screaming and biting and yanking. its not that he was not socilized to that as a pup, because her was, his paws were handled and he got lots of treats for it etc.. every single day, and it does not help that he has double dew claws lol I think we have clipped all his nails a total of once and he is 1 1/2 years old. we did come up with a new plan though lol we found these plans for a doggie ail file, it is basicly a sandpapered board that you teach the dog to scratch, it files their nails down lol although I am not sure at a grooming salon I would have the time to teach dogs to dig at a board lol
