I think it looks a lot worse than it was...shes a puppy and will eventually get used to grooming the more she goes. Most puppies are like this at first. I dont think he was TOO rough but i would have given her a little break. It isnt good to stress them out too much. I started grooming my shih tzu myself and his fur is very thick and even now, he is 1 year and 4 months and i have to split his grooming into two days just cuz he gets impatient and wants to go play so i do his face and paws one da
PS There are two ways to deal with dogs, in kindness where they come to love what they do and look forward to it, or through pain and hardship. Im afraid the later is true for this groomer. My current dog wouldnt let anyone touch his paws, but with time he will not only let me touch his paws but do his nails and everything else. DOGS THRIVE WITH KINDNESS NOT PAIN.
Aww this is pure torture, poor baby. That isnt kisses its the dog defending itself, a believe me I know the difference. The poor things is frighened. I would never take anything to this groomer at all. His rouch and miss handling the poor we thing and probably traumatised the poor pup for life. The teeth cleaning is horrendous, how would you like your mouth pinched that way. Its not wagging its tail in friendship its in aggression.
I was scared when they got to the eyes the tip was close to poking the eye omg i recommend elegante groomer my dog loves her groomer she always gets excited when she sees her and she is very gentle she will greet the dog first and she has some dog training experience
I would not take my dog there. My shih tzu drags me to the door of his groomer. He adores her. SHe spends all day kissing them, literally. She is very gentle and I have stayed and helped her hold the difficult ones, but she was still loving towards them. SHe also never clipped their paws like he did, she dremels so there is no cutting too short.
hE IS NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT THIS GROOMING EXPERIENCE.. I'M SURE ITS LIKE THIS FOR MOST DOGS... I MEAN-- SOMEONE'S IN THEIR PERSONAL SPACE.. POOR BABIES...
You have to get them to be still for their own safety. I love love doggies! I just graduated from grooming school and you have to be firm, but gentle. This guy is being pretty gentle. Believe me, I have seen people that are not nice! He is just being firm and letting the dog know who is in charge. However, sometimes, you do have to give the puppy a break so they don't get too stressed out.
WTF! What kind of groomer is this?! No control what so ever. You could of poked the poor little doggies eye out! You mother.... I'm not if gonna finish that word. That's basically animal cruelty! :[ . Poor little thing.
Poor litle puppy!! I realy dont think this litle dog will have good memories of this grooming. Have had shih tzu puppy my self and i never neded to hold her and fight with her like that to groom her. if the dog is so afraid at the groomer, maybe giving a calming injection would be a good ide. !
my boy shih tzu acts the same way at the groomers and they r very gentle he jus doesn't like it. he's been going to the same groomer all his life. some dogs jus don't like it. my girl dog loves it.
are you scared you'll poke its eyes

You are terrorizing this dog! You should gain it's confidence, you should not need two people holding the dog.You were strangling it at one point!!

Its for their own good. If the owner can't maintain their dog's long coat, this is advisable. Don't just tell them that this is an animal abuse!

@iplaymytele No reason to manhandle. My groomer has slings to put the dogs in . Once they are dangling in the air, they can't go anywhere.

Had to stop watching when they got to the eyes.
Why Oh Why... Do people insist on cutting the hair around the eyes this way?
If you cut the hair it will only grow back UP into the eyes again within a week.
1) Let the hair grow so that it lies flat. ( Like when a Shih Tzu has a Top Knot )
2) Only cut the hair above the nose between the eyes.
3) Use curved, round ended scissors. ( Keeping point away from eyes )
4) Wash and comb dogs face daily.
5) Use mini metal comb for corners of eyes.
