Hello all,
I would love to ask you all for a little of your experience.
So last year at the age of 49 I decided to enroll in dog grooming school (btw I was the youngest of 4 students). I finished school in Decemeber, I have groomed on and off over the next 11 months. Probably equivalent to full time 6 months of grooming.
Here’s my frustration and my question; how long does it take to get speedy? At school we only groomed 1 dog per day. Now, on average it takes me 2 hours to complete a dog, longer if it’s a big or otherwise complicated dog.
I occasionally check in with a fellow student from my stint at school and she’s exactly where I am, 3-4 dogs per day. Is this normal, should I be faster by now? How long does it take to develop more speed?
Sidebar: I spent 15+ years earning my living as a jewelry artist, so I am very comfortable working with my hands.
