Groomer's qualifications
 

Would you place great importance on your groomer's qualifications? :p

when you go cut your hair, you look at the stylist's papers or experience first ? :D

Well,
Best is a groomer with good qualification plus experience. Grooming is a very wide topic and those that into show dogs will know what I meant.

Good points there guys :)
Yes, I think what matters most is the end result together with a friendly service and clean environment. Most important of all is the grooming room is not all sealed like some kind of secret operation. :p

I totally agreed on that. I will love to see how my dogs are "treated" when grooming. :D

Groomer's qualification
 

hmm.. think the way the operation setup is important to me. Means a clean grooming room, transparent to owner vision during the groom.

why? becaused I ever stumped into an incident that I wish I do not have to sent my dog to groomer. I have been doing it myself since then, unless I am too tied up by work. What I saw was, the poor dog was given sedative to calm her while cutting, was placed on the table lying flat and soft. The groomer treated like she is a rug, pulling, pushing, flipping to underside.. simply put, all direction to faciliate the cut.

While so doing, the poor lame dog fell to the ground, hard head on, and the groomer bent and pick her up like you would a rug. Hell!!!!

that's my experience...
