It is a loss of trust of the Dog towards it's owners :the people who brought the dog there.

That is why it is always best to stick to a groomer you know and trust and one that is willing to earn the trust of the dog.

I hope the poor dog recovers soon, poor thing.

David agree and disagree with you. What you said about part timers and untrained personnel grooming dogs and causing all this withdrawn behavior is true but I like to add that I think the bottom line is whether the groomer is really patient and basically love animals....you might be inexperienced, but that doesn't mean you got to be rough.

Putting the dog up high on the grooming stand is already stressful for the dog what more if the groomer is rough and I can tell you its not just the inexperienced who cause this problem....choose the groomer who is patient and is not heavily scheduled and then choose their skills. Of course the decision is very much easier if your dog is basically well behaved.
