So I went into that other shop that I called. The place was sparkling clean and it didn't smell at all. So I talked to them about Rambo. Then I asked if I could bring him in so the groomers could meet him. They said sure. So I came back with him and told them that he can be weary of new people because he is so protective. So the groomer that does all the baths came to the front. Instead of getting on his good side and petting him, she starts to try to train him. Of course he does all the "tricks" she wanted him to, then she tries to give him the treat. When he's calm he takes a treat calm, but he was in a new place, as with any dog, he was excited. So he tried to take the treat without caring if he got fingers or what not. So she bopped him on the nose. He flinched, pulled back, then she waved the treat in front of his nose and he tried to take it again. Again she bopped him in the nose. She did this about 5 times, then I opened my mouth. Rambo wouldn't even look at this lady anymore, he was scared of getting hit again. I told her that he knows how to take a treat, but he's in a new place and he's excited so he's not going to be calm. She just ignored me and tried it again, Rambo wouldn't even look her way or sniff the treat, she had to drop it on the ground for him. Then she looked at me and said, with an attitude, oh he'll be just fine to bathe.
Like hell I'm gonna bring him there. I know bopping on the nose is a training thing, I know a tone of trainers that do it. But when I bring a dog in to meet someone and tell them that he is weary of new people and she doesn't try to make friends just all out tries to train him and bops him in the nose 5 times. Not someone I want to bring my dog to. I'm paying for grooming not training sessions when he's already trained.
That lady was ornery. She wasn't nice to me at all. She didn't even say hi. She was snappy and rude. Granted yes, she probably didn't want to do him after I told her about him, but before I even said a word, she was rude and snappy. I don't know, maybe that's her personality. But if I was just a regular customer I still wouldn't bring my dog to her.
An excitable dog, that doesn't know about grooming and a short tempered woman... yeah.... Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
