This is my second ever go at a maimi cut for this sweet little boy. This time mom wanted a Mohawk instead of a mullet lol. Looking for some cc and wondering if yall see any improvement on the legs between first and second times! (His most recent groom will be the first few pics) He’s 10mo old so he’s not 100% with grooming yet but he’s doing really well and improves every time he comes in!

Additionally, what would you guys charge for something like this? I work corporate so his haircut price is $69 and I’m kinda baffled I only make $34 for so much work 😂 I know it’s not the most intense poodle cut out there. His cut takes me a couple hours since I’m unfamiliar with it. I also feel bad charging his mom extra for me learning this cut from scratch, what would yall do?

I’ve got a 5mo old Berner pup and boy does she stink 😭 I’m a dog groomer so she gets regular baths (every month) but I’m not sure how to keep her smelling at least like a dog in between 😂 she stinks something different man idk. I’m used to dirty dog smell and way over due for a bath smell but this is different. Anyone else have this experience? Any ideas on how to help? We’ve cleaned her crate, the blanket we put over her crate to keep her at ease overnight, and her regular bath schedule. I’m scared puppy cologne might just mix poorly and make it worse but she does get cologne after her baths.

I’ve also heard a dog in heat can smell bad (she’s my first female dog, my boy dog has never smelled like this) but I’ve never actually experienced that, even when grooming dogs in heat.

This poor baby has come in on me twice around 10 months apart completely pelted. The first time I wasn’t able to finish her and had to recommend them out to a vet. She’s back again for her first apt since August last year and was in the exact same condition despite trying my best to get them to come in regularly and explaining all the risks of keeping their pet in that condition and how much it can hurt them. Poor baby had her nails literally grown under the neighboring toes paw pads so she was walking on her nails for god knows how long. One of our other groomers was able to get her nails a pinch shorter, I was fooled by some fake quicks, but it wasn’t by much. Just heart breaking, she’s so sweet but in the condition she’s in she struggles a lot and gets very bitey and stressy for some things. Anyways mini rant done. After pic at the end, we hit the end of what she would tolerate after the bath and I basically couldn’t touch her unless it was for some pets or a hug.

Anyone else’s berner pups have weird fixations? Shasta here LOVES to roll on worms after it rains. Roll on them and then try and eat them. Forgets all of her training and recall and has to be dragged away from them. Also is inexplicably angry at her shadow, unless it’s right next to her. She’s a weird girl, my other boy had nothing like this 😂 such a perfectly behaved angel, no weird fixations, digging, rolling in dirt, etc. (though, now he rolls in dirt. I like to think he was practicing playing submissive since he hasn’t played with another dog in so long, because he didn’t start this behavior until we got her).

Anyone else’s berner like this? 😂 or have any explanation as to…. Well… why specifically worms? 😂 bonus question, were your puppies the most clumsy puppies too? Shasta here cannot stay on 4 legs for the life of her while playing and has no grace falling or getting off of things, I’m worried she’ll her herself lmao.
