- Safety: Dogs can be unpredictable during grooming. If you’re distracted by calls, you might miss signs of discomfort or stress. Staying attentive helps prevent accidents and ensures both your safety and the dog’s.
- Quality of Work: Grooming requires precision. A distracted groomer may unintentionally cut too close to the skin, causing injury. Focused attention ensures a well-groomed coat, clean ears, and trimmed nails.
- Bonding: Grooming time is an opportunity to bond with the dog. Paying attention to their reactions helps build trust. Plus, a calm, attentive groomer creates a positive experience for the dog.
- Health Checks: Regular grooming allows you to spot health issues early. Skin infections, matting, or anal sac problems can be addressed promptly if you’re fully engaged.
Remember, a happy, well-groomed dog is a reflection of your care and expertise! 🐾
