Why your dog needs to go to the groomer

(I only recently started grooming school and I have been using social media as a portfolio, of sorts). The very first time I neatened a dog foot, it took me about half an hour for one little paw! In the photos below it took me about 5 minutes. The professional groomer can do it in 30 seconds-1 minute. I'm getting there!

 I apologize for the poor camera quality. Even small thing {in grooming school} seems like a huge accomplishment, so I get a little excited and either forget to take pictures or just take bad pictures...

[ignore the stray hairs, please! not completely done just yet].

Even if your dog is a short haired type (Lab, Pit bull), groomer's can shape the foot to look natural. Plus less hair=less hair for dirt to gather!
