Advertise on podcast: Dog Groomer vs. The World

Hello lovelies, this episode is very different from my other episodes. You may enjoy it, you may not. In today's episode, I will be ranting about the recent exhaustion of finding a well-suited dog groomer. A lot of people tend to think dog bathing and grooming is an easy job, like stocking the shelves at a TJ's... well let me tell you why it's not.

In this episode, I dive into two questions... Pet Parents: "How can I trust my dog groomer?".  Dog Groomers: "How can I gain a client's trust?".   Learn how to get to know who you are leaving your fur baby with and learn how to gain a pet parent's trust, coming from a dog groomer of 7 years' perspective.

Instagram: @doggroomerpodcast @magdalenagrooms This episode dives into some of the things we should think about before we get a new pet! Especially during a pandemic. There are a bunch of components to getting a new pet, vet bills, grooming, breeds, temperaments, exercise, etc. If you are thinking about a new fur baby, take 10 minutes out of your day to stop and listen! 

In my first Q&A, I answer a couple of questions from a listener! How to be helpful in the workplace, how to gain experience, and to stand out as an employee. All of these questions are from my point of view and experience, from working in a corporate salon to working as a right-hand groomer in a small local business.

I dive into some of the reasons dogs may be coming into the salon anxious, especially post-shutdown because of COVID-19. I also talk generally about what could be causing dogs to feel anxious while going to the groomer, whether it's their past experiences, lack of exposure, the groomer themselves, or their pet parents!  Instagram: @Doggroomerpodcast  @magdalenagrooms

I talk about how I handle my well being in and outside of the grooming salon. Grooming is a high-pace, high-stress job. We work closely with live animals, sharp objects, and of course people. Sometimes we are so busy taking care of others that we forget to take care of ourselves. This can also apply to anyone in any service industry who is feeling frustrated and burnt out at work. Disclaimer: I am not a professional life coach, therapist, or psychologist but these are the things that have helped me keep my mental and physical health in good shape. 1. Eating well 2. Good Sleep 3. Yoga/ Breathing 4. Journaling 5. Therapy 6. Separating work & home 7. New Hobbies/ Learning something new 8. Surrounding myself with like-minded people 9. Loosen up 10. Changing up routine I got into depth about how these top 10 things have helped me feel stable and at ease in and outside of work.  Questions? or Requests?
