We are going to the Flyball National Titles November this year in Dandenong. Does anyone know of any dog friendly accommodation nearby?

Do you have a salon here in SA? If a groomer is not supposed to use a choker slip knot what are they supposed to use? This is out of interest cos I have a Puli and he is taken to the groomers and I just want to make sure this does not happen to my fur son. Maybe I just wont take him anymore and learn to do it myself. I am absolutely terrified now. I'll leave it for crickets to answer your questions but I just wanted to say that I know her and she grooms my boy and I trust her completely. :) Crickets doesn't do my westies but that's only because I met her years after I started going to the Spoilt Dog, who have been fabulous too. Crickets has an excellent reputation and I would certainly trust her with my westies without a second thought. :) Yes they just won a grooming award at last years royal show.

Yeah, I agree a corded coat does need to be cage dried and I dont think Joey minds being left in a crate alone. As it is he shakes when he goes to the groomers. He's been like that ever since we rescued him when he was 18mths old. I go to About Town Dog Studio at Glenunga. When people talk about coats and grooming I just automatically think of a corded coat and all the work we put into his coat. I was devastated when a groomer clipped him back and then brushed him up like a poodle!!!!! He sits next to me and I automatically start working on his cords, checking for cords that need to be seaparted and my fingers are always running through his coat feeling for seeds, always checking between his pads. The grooming is auto pilot now. If anyone wants a puli because of the coat, think not once not twice but 10 times. Its a lot of work and if you dont love the breed and the temperament, get another breed. Thanks for your input Cricket, I really appreciate it :-)

Thank you so much for your answer. They have a window to the back of the salon where the work is happening so you can see out back. I know Joey is crated with fans when he is drying. Being a Puli, he takes a long time to dry. Payneham Rd is not far from me. I eventually found a brilliant girl that read up and studied how to groom a Puli, after I had some horrendous experiences. Have you groomed a Puli before?

I am so sorry I cant imagine how terrible you feel.

Its called bluffing. Just call the ranger again and I wld also report that he also threatened you.
