And you know what? There&#8217;s absolutely no shame in getting one, because it WILL happen at some point or another throughout your career.<\/p>\n<p>After all, we&#8217;re human. We&#8217;re not perfect! Sometimes, I think clients forget that we make mistakes, same as everyone else. But one thing they don\u2019t always know is that complaints can actually help us in the long run. They really do, trust me.<\/p>\n<p>Personally speaking, I have grown SO much as a groomer because of what clients have said to me. If ever a dog grooming client voices a complaint, <a href=\"https:\/\/career.io\/career-advice\/constructive-criticism-further-in-your-career\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the key is not to simply shrug them off<\/a>. (Well, I mean, sometimes you will &#8211; it&#8217;ll depend on the nature of the complaint, of course.)<\/p>\n<p>But for the most part, you need to embrace complaints and see them as constructive feedback. Only then can you use them as a way to better yourself. I&#8217;m going to discuss a few experiences I&#8217;ve personally had in my dog grooming career so far. Hopefully these experiences &#8211; and how I handled them &#8211; will help YOU if (or when) you run into a similar dilemma.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;15947&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Dog_Grooming_Complaints_and_How_to_Handle_Them_Properly\"><\/span>3 Dog Grooming Complaints and How to Handle Them Properly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Complaint #1: &#8220;You sent my dog home injured!&#8221;<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]This is a complaint that probably won&#8217;t be all that common for you, but you&#8217;ll more than likely hear it at least once<em>. <\/em>In this situation, the owner thinks that you&#8217;ve injured their dog during the grooming appointment.<\/p>\n<p>For example: one time I groomed a Shih-Tzu pup, same as I&#8217;ve done many times before. There were absolutely NO issues during the groom, nor where there any issues after it. In fact, the dog was happily running around while waiting for the owner to come back.<\/p>\n<p>However, a few days later, the shop got an email from the owner. In it, they stated that I&#8217;d cut her dog by her private parts. Moreover, she was disappointed that no one had told her that her dog had this cut. She also stated that she was going to be bringing her dog to the vet because she was in pain.<\/p>\n<p>I remember her asking in the email, &#8220;How did we not tell her, because clearly her dog was in pain&#8221;.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h4>How I Handled This Complaint<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]When I had a minute, I wrote her back.

Now and then, some people may start going off about how the last groomer did this and that, and how unhappy they were.<\/p>\n<p>As you can imagine, this can be quit intimidating. Some clients are looking for a PERFECT groom &#8211; and honestly, there isn\u2019t one because it doesn&#8217;t exist. There are some people that you just <a href=\"\/2019\/08\/dog-grooming-business-beware-nightmare-clients\/\" rel=\"noopener\">can\u2019t make happy<\/a>. Such is life.<\/p>\n<p>But as always, it&#8217;s still your job to try your best! So, listen to everything they&#8217;re saying. From there, approach the groom based on your understanding of what it is they want. If you have any questions or are unclear about something, don&#8217;t hesitate to ask!<\/p>\n<p>Based on my personal experience, when these types of clients come to pick up their dog afterwards, they&#8217;ll gush about how cute it looks and how they like it. However, within a couple of days, our salon might get a call about how they actually hate the groom. Despite their initial, positive reaction, it\u2019s not, in fact, what they wanted.<\/p>\n<p>(Sigh.)[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h4>How I Handle This Complaint<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]From here, I&#8217;d simply ask if there&#8217;s anything I can do to fix what they don\u2019t like. Similarly, I&#8217;ll ask if there&#8217;s any additional info I should know this time around. This way, I can avoid doing it again the next time. Believe it or not, a lot of time, that client will just wind up saying something along the lines of, &#8220;No, I just wanted to let you know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is the point when I&#8217;ll say something along the lines of: &#8220;Okay, thanks for calling. If that\u2019s everything, I must get back to my client (a.k.a. the dog I&#8217;m grooming).&#8221; Then I&#8217;ll leave it at that.<\/p>\n<p>Most the time, you won\u2019t hear back again from a person that doesn\u2019t like your cut.

In this industry, getting the odd person who seems to have something negative to say something about everything sometimes comes with the territory. This is fine &#8211; but these are the types of customers I recommend shrugging off and not letting ruin your day.<\/p>\n<p>After all, there\u2019s not much you can do about it after the fact.

Rather, you&#8217;ll often groom (bigger) dogs that just need a good brushing. At my shop, we call this a de-shedding treatment. We use special shampoo, brush the dog in the tub, blow-dry them, and then brush them even more once they&#8217;re all dry.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, we&#8217;re getting all that extra dead undercoat off the pup.<\/p>\n<p>But the thing is, they&#8217;ll most likely still be shedding a bit. After all, dogs shed! That never completely stops &#8211; and it&#8217;s just part of having a dog. Not to mention, if it\u2019s the dog&#8217;s first time getting the treatment done, it&#8217;ll most likely shed a bit more because their hair follicles aren\u2019t used to the treatment.<\/p>\n<p>So, that&#8217;s definitely something to keep in mind, too.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>How I Handle This Complaint<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]A surprising amount of clients will wind up complaining a few days later, after their dog has seen us. Why? Because they&#8217;re unhappy that their dog is still shedding.<\/p>\n<p>And the thing is, yes&#8230; They WILL continue to shed. Because they&#8217;re dogs.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to reduce the amount<em>\u00a0<\/em>of shedding, so that it&#8217;s less than it was before the grooming appointment. However, it won&#8217;t stop it entirely. In the face of this kind of dog grooming complaint, I&#8217;ll simply tell the customer this.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the time, they want us to re-brush their dog because they think it shouldn\u2019t be shedding hair at all. Of course, I can do that &#8211; and I will, if that&#8217;s what they want. However, it&#8217;s still very important to try and instill in their minds the fact that their dog will continue shedding.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put: that\u2019s what their dog does when they have an undercoat.

text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]The #1 rule for grooming a dog is to always prioritize the safety and well-being of the dog. This includes using appropriate tools and techniques, ensuring proper sanitation, and being gentle and patient with the dog throughout the entire grooming process.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;How do you handle difficult or unhappy clients?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]When faced with a difficult or unhappy client, it&#8217;s important to remain calm, listen to their concerns, and try your best to understand their perspective. From there, communicate clearly and professionally about how you&#8217;ll address their concerns in order to find a resolution that satisfies both parties.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;What should I do if a client complains about my grooming results?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]If a client has complaints about your grooming results, the first step is to apologize and ask for more details about what specifically they are unhappy with. From there, try your best to remedy the situation by offering to fix the issue or provide a refund. It&#8217;s also important to have realistic expectations when it comes to grooming results, and communicate these expectations clearly with your clients beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, handle complaints professionally and strive to find a satisfactory solution for both parties involved![\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;What do I do if a client submits their complaint about me to the BBB?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]If a client files a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) about your dog grooming business, it&#8217;s important to promptly respond and address their concerns. Provide any necessary documentation or evidence to support your case, and work towards finding a resolution that satisfies both parties.<\/p>\n<h4>Keep in mind that the BBB is an independent organization.<\/h4>\n<p>Meaning, they may also reach out to you for more information regarding the complaint. It&#8217;s important to communicate professionally and openly with all involved parties in order to resolve the issue efficiently.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;What should you (as the client) not say to a dog groomer?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]As a client, it&#8217;s important to avoid making negative comments about the dog groomer&#8217;s work or their skills. Instead, communicate any concerns or issues in a constructive and respectful manner. Avoid belittling or insulting the groomer, as this can create an uncomfortable and unprofessional environment for both parties involved.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, do not make unrealistic demands or expect grooming results that are not achievable based on your dog&#8217;s coat type and condition. Ultimately, maintain open and honest communication with your dog groomer in order to achieve the best results for your furry friend.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221;
