Maybe tone down on the amount of difficult dogs, I think all your readers would be sad if they couldn't read your blog anymore if you were injured. I had a really difficult pug, for nails, and apparently other groomers refuse to do the nails as well. I talked to the owner and we worked out something nice. I would do my best to finish the nails, but she has to play with the dogs paws daily, and really work on touching the nails.<br /><br />After 2 months, the puppy doesn't flip out anymore. Yes, she doesn't like her nails done, but now it only takes me to do them :) and not two!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861555359944928813.post-50262077189308195742013-02-22T21:34:38.039-05:002013-02-22T21:34:38.039-05:00Yes Lauren,

I am very careful when soaping up the dogs around the eyes, and have not ever had a problem. (knock on wood) If a dog ever turns at the wrong time and gets shampoo in the eyes, I immediately rinse the eye out, and the dog is fine. I have had a number of dogs splash the shampoo into my eyes and have not had any problems. I think that most of the dog shampoos out there are geared towards being easy on the eyes.<br /><br />Anyway, to answer your question. I love 'Green Grooms Oder Eliminator' for faces. It cuts through those yucky slobber smells around the mouth. I like to soap up the face first and then soap it up a second time and let the shampoo sit while I am soaping up the rest of the body.<br /><br />Here is a link for the 'Green Groom':<br />http://www.groomerschoice.com/Green-Groom-Odor-Eliminator-Shampoo-Gallon/productinfo/GGOEG/<br /><br />If I have a dog with a tacky face, I will shampoo it three times. Once with a regular shampoo, a second time with 'Coat Handler Clarifying shampoo', then my finial shampoo is the Green Groom. I am a nut about a clean face.<br /><br />Here is a link for the 'Coat Handler Clarifying shampoo':<br />http://www.groomerschoice.com/Coat-Handler-151-Clarifying-Shampoo-Gallon/productinfo/CH15G/<br /><br />I hope that this helps. :)<br />Lisa,MFFMy Furry Friendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03957566282521723511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861555359944928813.post-81833080893183139452013-02-22T20:39:25.202-05:002013-02-22T20:39:25.202-05:00Hi Shelly,

I am glad that you are enjoying my blog.<br /> Your comment makes me feel good, because my purpose in writing this blog was to show the real world of pet grooming. And to show other groomers out there that we all deal with the same things and that we should stand together and help each other out. :)<br />Lisa,MFFMy Furry Friendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03957566282521723511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861555359944928813.post-29903411255192272472013-02-22T20:27:23.853-05:002013-02-22T20:27:23.853-05:00Thanks Jennifer,

I've gotten bit so bad that I had to go to the hospital and lost use of my hand for a few days (swelling around a nerve in my wrist caused my entire hand to go numb) and I'm STILL the only groomer in my shop that takes "bad" dogs. I'll never learn. I just want every dog to have the chance at a good grooming experience.<br /><br />Off topic. I searched your blog but couldn't find my answer. What shampoo do you use on dogs faces? Do you just use what you use on their bodies being careful not to get it in there eyes, or a special tearless shampoo? I use a hypo on there faces since that is all that's available to me but my faces never look as clean/fluffy as yours do, no matter how much i scrub :[Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441476196084575288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861555359944928813.post-71539479594716726002013-02-22T10:17:50.257-05:002013-02-22T10:17:50.257-05:00Hi i tried to comment before but disappeared into ...Hi i tried to comment before but disappeared into cyber space here goes again. i hope you feel better soon from the bite. you surely saved the dog a lot of pain from hurting himelf. in the zone dogs have been known to suicide off the table or hang themself.

And even though I'm not a groomer, when I hear that a dog doesn't like it's nails clipped, I immediately want to try. I like a challenge.<br /><br />BUT it probably isn't a bad idea to make sure you don't have so much on your schedule that you wear yourself out. ;) Jackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182741108379808026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861555359944928813.post-56253039555908247462013-02-22T09:30:59.717-05:002013-02-22T09:30:59.717-05:00ouch!
