Grooming difficult dogs is always challenging, but even the cleaning protocols we follow can be tricky. Every grooming salon is different with their own unique challenges.

For the first one, I noticed dark spots on her when I was bathing her. I didn\u2019t know if it was just her skin or if it was fleas. So my boss and I did some investigating and once we figured out it was fleas, we called the owner to retrieve the dog and take her home. We told her to get her dog treated, and that we could resume grooming after all the fleas are dead.<\/p>\n<p>Once the dog left, I used bleach to disinfect every area the dog came into contact with\u2014 making sure to cover every inch! I let the bleach sit for at least 10 minutes before wiping everything down. Fleas cannot survive without a host. Even after cleaning, we avoid using the same affected areas until the next day, just to be safe.<\/p>\n<p>In these situations, it\u2019s okay to tell the client that you are unable to groom their pet. It\u2019s your responsibility to protect your grooming shop and your other canine clients. Let them know that they are welcome to return after they have been treated.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keeping_Up_with_Cleaning_Protocols\"><\/span>Keeping Up with Cleaning Protocols<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the hardest parts about working at a dog grooming salon is keeping up with the cleaning. We have a constant flow of dogs coming in and out of our facility. Some people think that professional dog groomers just playing with puppies all day, and they are wrong! The dog groomer job description is way more intensive than people think. We need to pick up after them, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/08\/keep-dog-grooming-kit-clean\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disinfect used dog grooming kits<\/a> (and areas), and deal with scared dogs. It\u2019s not all happy puppies and good times!<\/p>\n<p>At our shop, each groomer has specific duties. That way, we know what is getting done and by who. We use pet-friendly cleaners besides the instances where we have to use bleach. We usually use bleach at the end of the day on our tables and floors and when we have pests.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;10230&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]On days when we have a full day of grooming and dogs to watch over at our daycare, you best believe it is hard to make sure everything is spotless at the end of the day! Especially since we reuse many of the same tools throughout the day. Even if you take 20 mins out of your day to make sure things are clean and tidy, that could go a long way.<\/p>\n<p>You should clean your dog grooming equipment after every dog you groom. It\u2019s not always possible to give everything a deep clean. Usually, we wipe down and move onto the next appointment\u2014but at least it is somewhat cleaned. You should never go for days on end without cleaning a single tool. That is not sanitary!<\/p>\n<p>We use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barbicide.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barbicide<\/a> to clean and disinfect all our tools. It\u2019s the best option to clean your grooming tools without rusting and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2019\/05\/6-ways-to-destroy-your-dog-grooming-equipment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">destroying them<\/a>. It\u2019s also safe to use after each dog. Just make sure the tools are completely dry before use.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dealing_with_ShyHostile_Dogs\"><\/span>Dealing with Shy\/Hostile Dogs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another hard part about a career in dog groomer is working with dogs that don\u2019t like leaving their homes and entering new environments. Believe it or not, we get a lot of those. There\u2019s nothing wrong with anxious or shy dogs, it is just makes it more challenging to do our jobs.<\/p>\n<p>When these dogs first come in, they will likely be glued to their owner\u2019s hips. It won\u2019t be that easy to make them want to stay, and it will be just as hard reassuring the owner that their pup is in good hands. If the owner is nervous for their first time leaving their dogs at a salon, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/07\/groom-newly-rescued-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dog can pick up on their nervousness<\/a>.

Reassure the pup, and take breaks even if need be. I have had some situations where the dog just would not calm down. He was getting too worked up so I simply put him in a kennel for a few minutes. Once he settled in the kennel, I took him out to resume the groom and he seemed like a different dog.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2019\/06\/3-time-traps-where-new-dog-groomers-often-fall-behind\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dog groomers are often on a strict timeline<\/a>. But if the dogs you work on need a minute, give it to them. It\u2019ll make getting your work done properly and efficiently much easier. It\u2019s all about sensing what your clients (the dogs) need from you to have a good experience.<\/p>\n<p>These are just a few challenges that I face while working at a dog grooming salon. With a little work and thought I hope you consider these points to help your salon run smoothly. Just keep your head in the game and keep things clean and tidy. Things will run smoothly after that.<\/p>\n<p>In your opinion, what\u2019s the hardest part about working at a salon?
