Hardly. When you say a \u2018typical\u2019 day for a dog groomer, there really isn\u2019t one. The only constants are the presence of dogs and their owners. Other than that, there\u2019s not too much that\u2019s routine. Every dog you come across will be different, and every owner will be different, too. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. But, you can guarantee that it\u2019s never boring!<\/p>\n<p>That being said, there are some procedural constants\u2026[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;7310&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/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]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Client_Bookings\"><\/span>Client Bookings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing you should do when you go to work in the morning is to look at your schedule. Depending on whether you have an electronic or manual calendar booking system, the way you keep track of clients will be slightly different. Some electronic systems automatically send out appointment reminders to clients! You\u2019ll also want to listen to your answering machine to see if anybody has called in to cancel.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have an electronic system, you\u2019ll need to manually track client information and send out appointment reminders. This may be something you do in the morning, or you may wish to make calls over the course of the day. Ensure that this becomes a routine! Dropping the ball is bad for business!<\/p>\n<p>If you have your own salon and staff, then operating without an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2019\/03\/3-dog-grooming-business-apps-thatll-make-your-life-easier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">electronic booking system<\/a> can be more difficult. You\u2019ll have to communicate regularly to ensure that there are no double bookings. It\u2019s also important that everyone is aware of the specific dogs that have behavioral issues or special requirements. This ensures that nobody books clients that have been flagged. If your salon is particularly large with a lot of staff, then you\u2019ll want to assign client information management to one person or hire a secretary. Taking this responsibility on by yourself may mean that you groom fewer dogs.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;7311&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/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]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mixing_Your_Shampoo\"><\/span>Mixing Your Shampoo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some shops mix their shampoo the night before. Meanwhile, other shops mix it the morning of, and there are even some salons that mix shampoo once for the entire week. This really depends on what kind of salon you\u2019re working at and who you\u2019re working for. If you\u2019re the owner, congratulations! You get to decide when things get done and who has to do them. If you\u2019re a freelance dog groomer, then you\u2019ll be doing it all, but at least you still get to decide when. A larger salon may even have their bathers or assistants to mix the shampoo. Regardless of the kind of groomer you are and where you work, mixing the shampoo is an absolute must!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Groom\"><\/span>The Groom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once clients start coming in, it can be really hectic.

Other shops will work with dogs on an hourly or half-hourly basis, where appointments are staggered. It depends on the capacity of the salon and number of staff the shop has on hand.

Returning clients will be the fastest and easiest. There shouldn\u2019t be any real surprises when it comes to working with regular clients. New clients generally take more time, and they should! Schedule longer appointments for assessments with new clients. You also shouldn\u2019t book in another client right after because the groom itself may require more time.

The end of the day is a whole lot busier than the beginning. That being said, you should be sweeping and\/or vacuuming around your station after every client. It can get pretty hairy to say the least! However, your tools don\u2019t necessarily need to be disinfected after each groom. Doing this would insinuate that there are diseases coming into the salon with your dogs. If that\u2019s actually the case, they really shouldn\u2019t be coming into your shop at all! It\u2019s fine to clean up your workspace and oil your scissors, but a professional groomer usually just disinfects at the end of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Some larger shops may have towel service where dirty towels get picked up and clean towels get dropped off. Other shops may have their own washer and dryer to do their laundry. This is something that\u2019s done in the morning and\/or at the end of the day. You\u2019ll deal with your towels similar to how you deal with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2018\/08\/whats-in-a-competitive-dog-groomers-kit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shampoo<\/a> situation. It really depends on where and who you\u2019re working for, as well as the established routine. Regardless, towels need to be cleaned, dried, and put away. Trust us, you\u2019ll need a lot of towels!<\/p>\n<p>Other maintenance duties include wiping down the cages and floors. Tubs must be washed and rinsed. Vacuums need to be emptied, and their filters need to be checked. The number and level of maintenance tasks you\u2019ll be required to complete will depend on the size of the salon.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;7308&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/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]These are some of the basic tasks you\u2019ll do as part of your daily routine.
