Hey Friends!! Do any of you have tips on how to find out the exact length your clients want? Leave them down below if you do! Sending my love 💜Savana

First off I want to say that I’m very sorry for your loss of your beloved pet ❤ My dog has cancer in her toe/nail and I’m debating putting her through surgery to get it amputated. She’s almost 13 years old and a large breed. If you don’t mind me asking how old was Rufus when he went through surgery?

Hey friends! Do you have any tips for giving your clients the exact groom they want? Leave them here so we can help eachother out! 💜

My starting point is 110 for smalls. That is a tiny bit higher then the competition and i have had inquiries but not many bookings. Its all sounds good in theory but if youre not getting business, then youre not making money. Whatcdo you do?

Yeah my business is a flop after 6 years because my first year my average transaction was SIXTY DOLLARS!!!!!

What are your thoughts on groomers charging per hour?

Do you think it would work for house call as well. (Setting a higher price). I want to charge more but feel people would complain because I’m using their electric/water. Plus I’m trying to build a clientele so I tend to price low.

Agreed with not adopting the ‘competition’ mindset. I learned to stop giving large discounts. The same clients who watched me work 14+ hours in one day on their dogs and gave them a big discount later complained about my costs while having high maintenance dogs that they don’t brush or bathe for months. Dematting is a specialty that I offer where most groomers will shave that dog down because they don’t have the time to spend removing the mats. Their prices are low and so there is no way they can take the time needed for lengthy grooms. I definitely don’t have a standard price because every dog is different and the work is different as well. I have been considering it and started testing it out on one client… Your advice on not doing it will be taken though because it means dreading jobs that are more intense and being paid the same for less intense jobs. I do give cost guidelines. I advise that the final cost is dependent on the work completed and have posted a starting cost. I’ve also separated work. A bath and dry doesn’t cost the same as a cut bath and dry. Longer fur takes more time and so I add $3 or so as the fur goes up in length. I’ve never done the expenses advice. I think this end of the year will help me to do this. I have posted my pricing guidelines on WhatsApp along with service guidelines on what to expect and what not to expect. I add what is not tolerated either such as negligent pet owners. They tend to blame everyone but themselves for the issues their pets have. I avoid potentially bad clients. Once or twice I’ve given them the benefit of the doubt just to be burned badly soon after. I have much higher prices than everyone else on island. Sometimes there are doubts because I don’t have a high influx of clients. Today I have many more than 6 months ago. I go at my own pace and have learned that my price does not need to be justified. I work hard and do my best. The prices were set with intentionality over a period of 3 months. If it is too high then someone else is more affordable and I direct them there. Thanks for sharing these. I’ll definitely take some of the advice given. It is good. Thanks for this channel!

Hey friends! 👋 What are your top tips for setting your prices?? 🐾 Does this video make you want to change some things? 💜 Thank you for watching!!

Hey guys! Let me know how you are taking advantage of being a pet groomer below! 💜

Hello I'm interested in the Workbook

This video spoke to me on a deep level. Thank you Savana!

In OKC thinking of mobile pet grooming with my oldest daughter…. Free workbook?

I think part of grooming is building the relationship from day 1, so they remember how fun it was and eventually look forward to it. Walks and treats not abandoning them for hours

Great video! But you forgot to talk about the water tanks :(

Super interested 😊

Patience is key and varies with every groomer as we all are different with our eyes and our hands and our experience level and style all ending with their speed❤

Hello! I am new to your channel. You’ve inspired me to go mobile soon! Completely unrelated but I’d love to see a video on how you handle the holiday season.

Did you and your husband do the electrical wiring before the spray insulation or after?

Thanks for this video your husband did an amazing job! Can you add links to all your parts or a list?

I had a question, so im wanting to be a dog groomer but the problem where i am there is NO WHERE i can go to do the inperson schooling. So i have to do online. But what the cons you were explaining is what my fear is. But the reasoning i want to be a dog groomer is cause there isnt any in my area🤣 So i feel kinda stuck too So my question to you is do you think its worth it?? If i were to open my own business would i need to go to college for marketing purposes?

Where do you get your hairbands from ? They are super cute 🥰

Thank you so much for this important information Im so sorry Rufus passed 😢

I learned WAY long ago that the customer is not always right. You did the right thing.

Is there a reason the water heater is down so low? I'm just wondering if the shop vac and water heater could be switched for easier access?

I dont know how 😢

I dont know how 😢

Omg the bathroom thing... I'm not a dog groomer (yet), but seriously considerimg changing careers and going into mobile dog grooming and the thougg about the whole bathroom situation has come up... because Im not a huge fan of the idea of running into gas stations and coffee shop bathrooms every time and I wont be able to afford a fancy van with a bathroom for a while so I was thinking af getting myself one of those casetter toillets, and hiding it in a cupboard/under counter.

Just put you an electric heater on the back of your unit by the water lines. Is the underneath of your unit insulated?

Question, i’m in Texas. It’s extreme heat over 100. I have the Honda EU 7000 in the back of my truck have loved it no problems the last few days it seems to be struggling once it gets hot. I’m wondering do other people have this problem do I need to put a cover over it like to shade it ? Any suggestions?

Hi Savannah. I love your videos, they helped me start my own grooming business in BC. I've been grooming for almost a year and my own salon has been open for a little over a month now. I would love a video of you explaining how to market and grow a grooming business, and how to build a client base. ❤️

Wow thanks ! I didn’t know that !!! I have a Pomeranian . He has a lot of hair and didn’t take him to groomer this summer . I feel better

Do you have any advice for somone trying to get into grooming by asking the local groomers if they need a bather/apprentice? What do grommers look for in an apprentice?
