Anyone else who smells really well ever notice those little lap dogs that come in first thing in the morning after their owner plops out of bed half asleep and brings them in at 8 am? They always smell like sweaty sheets and dirty socks to me! I can... -
I always send the bill in a plain, or greeting card style envelope with no return address. If the name is Jane Smith, I only put "Smith" on the front of the envelope so anyone in the house will open it. I have a had a few long time clients...Leave a comment:

I built my shop in an existing building with concrete floors. I laid seamless vinyl in the 8x12 waiting room where clients stand because it looks professional. The entire rest of the building I stained with a simple concrete stain you buy in gallons...Leave a comment:

I get all short trims too in my semi rural area with a flat economy. Most people want their dog to be "cool" in the heat, and want to make the cut last as long as possible to save $.

No this is not normal. I might nick a dog once or twice a YEAR, never on the neck.

I underpriced a few dogs when I opened.

Pomeranian shave downs. They have that undercoat texture that allow the blade to shear right through it like butter and come out like smooth velvet. Also short legged terriers and Airedales.
Unfortunately most of my Schnauzer clients are...Leave a comment:

This is why I have an "Employess only beyond this point" sign on my inner gate.
Customers like this who bring a 10 page detailed list for each groom - I attach the list to their card so the next time they come in I simply pull...Leave a comment:

I depends on how long it takes. If the puppy is very small with a thin, short coat it gets a discount - also if it only gets a face/feet/fanny.
