The Zim Family Cocker Spaniel Forum

I work for the most awesome shop owner in the world! She is everything a groomer could ever want for a boss and more and she's a groomer too. Her grooms rock! BUT... she and I don't seem to agree on the cocker clip. lol I put the skirt where it is supposed to go and she prefers to put the front just above the elbows, gradually raising it in the back. Thankfully, she lets me do it the right way, but still... she says the way I do it makes it look like a hula skirt. I told her the way she does it makes it look like the dog is bow legged and that anyone who knows the breed will want it placed correctly. lol It's a friendly squabble, but it's one of my biggest pet peeves. Okay, thanks for letting me vent. ;)

Oh, shameless plug here... if you live in the Austin area and want your dog groomed correctly, message me and I will get you the contact info. ;) Oh and Lee, if you see this... I would LOVE it if you would put in a good word at Yelp for the shop and for me. :D

I absolutely will as we think you are the best !

I just love the way that you groom my babies and I know how much they adore you . It cracks me up the way Bentley starts crying two blocks from the shop as he is so excited to see you!

LOL Yep! They are always placed by my table and as soon as I get there, they are all over me saying "Hi." They are so wonderful!!! :)

I think a groomer is the most important person in our dogs' lives. If they look good they feel good and momma is happy! I love my groomer too but it took me many years to find the right person who groomed like I wanted. Some grooming places were so bad I would have done a better job! Several didn't like grooming cockers so I avoided them after the first visit. I had one groomer leave my boy Tucker in the crate SEVEN hours and then fuss when he peed on himself.
