I know what you mean exactly. We started grooming our toy poodles ourselves many years ago (they're at the RB now) and after two years of just us grooming them we decided to take them to a groomer. We got a phone call within minutes of getting home that they were snapping at the groomer. I am afraid they were just too used to us! For this reason now we have been taking Bella to the groomer and doing our own touch-up grooming in between. I want her to be familiar with someone else handling her.

I would love to see pictures of your poodle and all of your other pets. I went to your website but didn't see anywhere that I could click to view photos.
