THis post is really about possible training opening, with a relevant support detour
Hey greentea, its a pity that you have a health issue which prevents you lernign the techniques yourself, as grooming is a real bonding thing. For all sorts of pets/livestock. Sad. but can't be helped. We had a young friend whose family had a cattery. She was a promising young rider and trainee instructor, developing some stables/riding school. Nearly finished as a Vet. Nurse.
Guess what? At 27 she developed the most serious allergy to all animal hair. After months it was thought this had been incubating for years.
The vets were great and held her job whilst de-sensitization medications and immune boosters undertaken. etc.,
She can now ride again but has to groom with a mask and all pupils have to do their own preparation(not such a bad thing) :D
HOWEVER....given the difficulty you have had and from the posts THIS COULD BE A TRAINING/JOB opening in an exclusive market for anyone healthy, fit and strong, who loves animals and is prepared to learn what is required.
Yes there are Pet Parlours, and other groomers, obviously. BUT if this particular item is even more demanding and there is no-one doing it....as you say you would pay and pay well....guess most Showies would too.....
THEN come on someone who needs a careeer change or even a newstart.
Think about it.
