I took my thirteen year old Tibetan terrier, Domino, to Canine Designs once and there's no way in Hell I would ever subject him to such rough, uncaring treatment again. \r
I had been grooming him myself, at home, for years. I brush him out, clip his fur using professional grooming clippers, scissors, and the oil used to brush out mats, bathe him, clip his nails, file them, and remove any build-up on his teeth. I'm untrained and learned various techniques over the years through experience... and even when i first began grooming him when he was five, for cost effectiveness, I never had a problem getting the job done without hurting him in any way. He's a very patient, cooperative dog, not just with me, but with everyone. He's laid-back, doesn't complain, and will quietly sit through all sorts of ridiculousness for hours, content just to be near you. \r
So when I went to pick him up from Canine Designs I never expected him to be shaved down to the skin - which was not what I had asked them
