This is what will set you apart from your fellow dog groomers, and it\u2019s not a difficult New Year\u2019s resolution to keep, either! We recommend spending some time each week or month reading helpful books on different breeds and standards, attending workshops, and watching helpful videos. These are easy to find online, and you\u2019ll soon find that your clients trust your expertise and recommendations when it comes to employing new techniques and trying out trends.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stay_positive\"><\/span>Stay positive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No one ever said that professional dog grooming was easy. It\u2019s not! You\u2019re inevitably going to have unpredictable furry clients, equipment troubles, and dog owners who question your judgment (sometimes, all within the same day!). However, feeling stressed and negative is not going to help matters, and will actually make situations even worse. In 2018, why not put a spin on how you approach challenging situations? Change your inner dialogue and the way in which you cope with less-than-ideal days and weeks \u2013 instead of blurting out that you can\u2019t find a particular tool in your dog grooming kit and that you\u2019re overwhelmed, try stating that you\u2019ve misplaced a tool, and make a note to stock up on multiples of the same tool when you have a chance.<\/p>\n<p>A professional dog groomer\u2019s days can be very busy and stressful, so it\u2019s important to recognize the tone you\u2019re using both with yourself and your clients, and aim to be as positive as possible. You\u2019ll feel much calmer and more in control as a result, and you\u2019ll likely enjoy your dog grooming career even more!<\/p>\n<p>Try setting one or two goals for yourself per week with this particular resolution, and be patient. If you\u2019re used to a negative self-dialogue, it will take time to change your thinking and the way you articulate situations. With some practice, however, you\u2019ll get to a point where you\u2019re much more positive than negative, and checking in with yourself at the end of each week will ensure you stay on track.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Educate_owners\"><\/span>Educate owners<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A dog groomer\u2019s role revolves around the care of their furry clients, but you also have a unique responsibility to ensure that the dog\u2019s owners understand how to best care for their pups. Unfortunately, you can\u2019t be around all the time, and even though you may see dogs once or twice a month, they need to be well cared for at all times.[\/vc_column_text][\/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; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;6424&#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; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]This is why it\u2019s so important to educate dog owners! This is particularly tricky, as owners are not trained in best practices, as you are, and you can only hope that they\u2019ll be receptive to your advice. When grooming a dog, be sure to keep the lines of communication open with its owner and explain to them why you\u2019re using certain techniques &#8212; one of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2016\/08\/avoid-rookie-dog-groomer-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most common mistakes <\/a>made by dog groomers is the inability to communicate their own standard practices and what they will be working on throughout the appointment. The last thing you want is to surprise a dog owner with an additional bill, so make sure they know what\u2019s happening and what they could potentially be charged for.<\/p>\n<p>For example, encourage dog owners to brush their dogs a few times a week, and don\u2019t be afraid to show them the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/04\/groomers-guide-brushing-techniques\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best possible ways<\/a> of doing so. This will keep the dog\u2019s fur healthy, soft and shiny. Another recommendation you can confidently make to dog owners is the type of food they\u2019re feeding their pups \u2013 focus on fruits, veggies, cooked meats, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2016\/08\/pros-cons-raw-feeding-cats-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">raw and natural foods<\/a> when suggesting pet food brands. These will keep dogs healthy and active, and impact their skin and fur. And believe us, your clients will be more than happy to receive these recommendations from you, the expert!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seek_out_dog_grooming_associations\"><\/span>Seek out dog grooming associations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re a certified dog groomer, you probably want to grow your career as quickly as possible. This means making industry connections, increasing your clientele, and eventually starting your own business. With a fresh year on the horizon, it\u2019s time to start networking, and a great way to do so is by looking into local or national grooming associations. We mentioned earlier that a great way to stand out from your fellow dog groomers is to ensure you\u2019re up-to-date on techniques and trends, and membership in a dog grooming association will help you do just that, while also setting you apart from other dog groomers.[\/vc_column_text][\/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; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;6425&#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; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]Although many associations require an annual fee to maintain membership, this is an excellent investment for 2018 &#8212; as part of an association, you\u2019ll be given access to further education, networking, conferences, seminars, grooming shows, and more.
