Remember that grooming is very seasonal . Learn to ski. Vacations are best taken in February when practically no one wants their pet groomed. The week before Christmas will be more grueling than you ever thought possible. And Dec 23 might be the biggest day of the year.
Grooming is a very stressful occupation .
You might have to deal with cantankerous dogs or cantankerous owners. Most groomers take more chances on getting bitten or take more abuse from owners when they first open their shop. It's a trade-off you won't want to make for very long. Treat your customers with respect and their pets with kindness. If it isn't returned, don't groom the dog.
