“How can I groom pets faster?” is a regularly asked question by both new and established groomers. One key to increasing grooming speed is to establish a routine that is used on (almost) every pet. In our shop, we groom pets one-on-one and (usually succeed) in grooming each animal in a one-hour appointment. To make this schedule work, we have found that a routine approach to each pet helps us work swiftly and thoroughly. We have a fifty-pound weight limit, but our method could work with larger dogs by extending the appointment time to one and a half or two hours.
Think briefly about something you don't know much about, for example, the inner workings of automotive engines. If a mechanic starts telling you about something to do with a complex engine repair, chances are you will not be able to understand much of what they are telling you. For many pet owners, talking to a groomer is a similar experience.
