Look at your furnishings and equipment, as well as your products and tools. Is everything in a safe and secure space? If not, you have some accident-proofing to do!<\/p>\n<p>You should also take into consideration your safety when working with various animals. Think about grooming a new dog that walks into your salon \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/03\/4-things-to-look-for-before-you-groom-a-dog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">you\u2019ll need to do a full assessment<\/a> to make sure he\u2019s been vaccinated and isn\u2019t going to bring any health problems to other dogs. You\u2019ll need to know about dog behavior, and common stress signs, so you can protect yourself. The easiest way to stay safe? Refuse an appointment to any dog that is acting too rough with you or other furry friends.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t put yourself at risk just to satisfy one client. As a professional groomer, you know that you\u2019re trained to do your very best and trust your judgement. If your instincts make you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, pass on giving that client an appointment until their dog is better trained!<\/p>\n<p>Plus, there\u2019s personal safety equipment that you need to have in your salon to save your skin! If you\u2019re bathing dogs with various products, you need to be certain that your skin will not be irritated by them. Using gloves, as well as eye protection, will save you from a bad reaction.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;4001&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#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;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; 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; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Health_Comes_First\"><\/span>Health Comes First<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The health of you, your groomers, and your canine clients always comes first \u2013 meaning you shouldn\u2019t push a situation in order to get an appointment done and over with.

Taking a quick break can be the difference between a calm, relaxed dog and a chaotic situation!<\/p>\n<p>Remember, a grooming salon can become crowded and hot if there\u2019s not enough airflow. You and your team will need to be able to sense when a dog is too hot or is affected by any product scents.
