Without their luscious coats, dogs become vulnerable to sunburns and other elements! This can lead to irritation and your pup being uncomfortable in different temperatures. Keeping the fur short can help with most of the issues that would prompt someone to ask for a shave \u2013 a short coat will shed less, and be less likely to become matted.<\/p>\n<p>There are only a few reasons why a dog ever needs to be completely shaved; this can be due to matting or other conditions, but it\u2019s not always best for the dog! As a professional groomer, you\u2019ll be making the decision on whether a dog needs to be shaved, or if he could just do with a fresh cut! <em>Never <\/em>shave a dog when you think it could cause problems.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair, most clients won\u2019t be educated on how their pup\u2019s fur protects him. In this case, it\u2019s your job to politely let them know how the coat acts as a second skin for dogs.

Colorful dyes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Right \u2013 this is a big issue when it comes to dog coats. First of all, human hair dye should never be used on a pup\u2019s fur. Period. Second, there are safe options for groomers to use if their clients are looking to brighten up their dog\u2019s coat.<\/p>\n<p>However, before putting any products on a dog\u2019s coat, you need to be sure that these products are both safe for animals and will not irritate their skin. Some dogs will be sensitive to certain grooming products, so it\u2019s your responsibility to test out small areas before diving in with a new product.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve established that the product is safe, you can add the finishing touches! Chalking is a common touch after a groom. Many groomers will find chalk for animal fur, and use it to give their furry friends a temporary touch of color.<\/p>\n<p>To be on the safe side, always stay away from finishing products that go onto a dog\u2019s skin. This can cause irritation and make your pups uncomfortable![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_A_time_limit\"><\/span>3.

Calmly explain that you want to do your best work, and you won\u2019t make their dog uncomfortable to get the groom done quickly.

Let\u2019s start out by saying that dogs should only be bathed about once per month \u2013 over-bathing can dry out skin and cause irritation! If your clients think their dog needs a wash every week, more than likely there are a few things they can do to keep their pal clean.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if their pup is outside rolling around most of the day, they should be diligent in brushing out any dirt or plants that stick to his fur. Plus, they can use a towel to wipe out any dirt from their dog\u2019s fur. This will keep their pal smelling fresh and his coat shiny, without needing to be bathed. You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/06\/deal-pet-odours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recommend deodorizing sprays<\/a> as an option!<\/p>\n<p>Now, some dogs will have fur that becomes easily matted and tangled \u2013 these are the pups that you\u2019ll see often. However, your clients can take preventative measures to leave more time between grooms. Giving your clients a quick lesson in brushing and combing their pup will help them take better care of his coat.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#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<h3 align=\"center\">Don\u2019t risk your business \u2013 find out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/06\/risky-business-need-dog-grooming-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">why you need a dog grooming course<\/a> for your career!<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][recent_posts style=&#8221;default&#8221; category=&#8221;all&#8221; columns=&#8221;3&#8243; posts_per_page=&#8221;3&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn the top dog grooming rules based on what your clients shouldn&#8217;t ask for in a groom!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4446,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,20],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[353],"class_list":{"0":"post-4440","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-grooming","8":"category-health-and-safety"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>4 Things Clients Should Never Ask For in a Groom - Sniffin&#039; Around<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sometimes, your clients will ask for a groom that just won&#039;t work for their pup.
