I am a dog groomer – owners ignore how demanding a certain mixed breed is to maintain, they are very stressful

A DOG handler has revealed details about the rovers that may require a little extra patience to work with.

She highlighted canines that require so much maintenance that they can cause stress for those who are not prepared for them.

Emma Badgley set out her concerns in a publish on the social media platform Quora.

When it comes to dog breeds, Badgley paid extra attention to their behavior.

She also addressed the difficulties some people may face when working with certain canines.

“Any untrained or unsocialized dog will make the job more difficult, no matter the breed,” she said.

“Dogs with anxiety, behavioral issues or health issues are also stressful.”

BARKING AT THE WRONG TREE

Badgley opened up about the dogs she’d rather avoid.

A certain type of breed – doodles – was a repeat offender for her.

“Doodles are generally difficult for a few reasons, but mostly because Doodle owners are unaware of how demanding this mixed breed is to maintain,” she said.

“No matter what type of doodle – goldendoodle, bernadoodle, saint berdoodle – their coats need to be groomed at home in between frequent grooming.”

She said she has encountered some serious cases due to landlord negligence.

“Some of the most tangled dogs I have ever cared for or seen being groomed have been doodles,” she said.

“And because they are a mix of large, high-energy breeds, this can make an already dangerous process much more stressful.”

TO RELAX

Badgley also pointed out some dog breeds that might be a little too anxious for most.

Some are even known for their menacing appearance, but the dog handler claims they are full of anxiety.

“Huskies and German shepherds are some of the most anxious breeds I have ever cared for,” she said.

“Extra-large, double-coated breeds like Samoyeds, Newfoundlands, Great Pyranees, etc. are a LOT of work.

“AND [they’re] exceptionally more difficult if they are not completely relaxed and accustomed to the preparation process.”

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that, regardless of the dog, it is essential to check the hygiene products used on animals.

“The FDA regulates medicated shampoos, but does not regulate ‘cosmetic’ shampoos for animals,” said the FDA website read.

This makes it even more essential to go to a certified dog groomer and understand the breed before adding the quadruped to the family.
