Maintenance groomer

Hello, I just need to vent to strangers who have no stake in the game. Thank you

My boss called me a maintenance groomer and I took offense to that but I’m not sure why? It just felt like a jab while she was praising the other groomer for having talent because he can demat dogs. I don’t demat once a dog shows they are uncomfortable or it’s too close to the skin- I am not in the business to hurt animals. Whereas his comb is bent and broken because he pulls so much. I have had to step out of the salon when he demats because these poor pups are in pain and scream out but I am not allowed to do anything about it. I’ve mentioned this to management and the owner but neither care and labeled me as the problem. I can’t say too much in case my manager, boss, or coworkers see this post and guess it’s me and I need this job.

I’ve been a groomer for 2 years and he claims to have close to 10 years of experience but I hate the way he grooms and how his grooms turn out.

Am I a bad groomer??

Hello, I’ve been back and forth with feeling like I’m not a good enough dog groomer. I’m on my second year since graduating and I just don’t have a lot of repeat clients. I post all the time on Facebook for advertising, I’ve handed cards out left and right but my coworker seems to always get the dogs. He makes 2-3x what I’m bringing home.

Should I just quit? Offer grooming to shelter dogs to help them get adopted in my free time and find a different job?
