Hi everyone! I too am new to the trade, though I must confess I am not actually a groomer. After 20 something years as a controller for various businesses and hauling into NYC everyday, I have realized my dream of having my own business- a self service shop with some retail! We also offer to do the bathing, which in this market is more popular than self service.
So here I am in my second career as a dog washer! And I love it. And seem to be good at it. But I realize now that I will need to hire a groomer pronto because the demand here is so great- I get at least one call a day.
I've learned SO much reading this site over the last few months. Even when you think you've got the business side down, there's always something new. And I really appreciate the support and camaraderie here- local groomers are not so friendly so far, except for my "angel" mobile groomer whose support was key in my decision to go for it!
Thank you all already for the knowledge and experience that you share and I hope that I may contribute in such a positive way as well.
