My
partner
and
I
did
not
have
a
good
experience.
This
was
the
first
time
we
visited
Masters
N
Dogs
as
our
usual
groomer
(Barking
Barber)
is
booked
until
the
new
year.
Having
convenient
walk-in
hours,
we
brought
our
dog
over
on
a
weekend
afternoon
to
have
his
nails
trimmed.
The
groomer
quickly
placed
him
on
the
table,
tethered
his
harness,
and
grabbed
his
back
paws
forcefully,
holding
it
high
where
our
dog
started
growling,
showing
signs
of
discomfort.
Instead
of
pausing,
the
groomer
continued
to
hold
his
back
paws
up
in
the
air
while
our
dog
continued
to
growl
at
an
agitated
state.
Our
dog
started
moving,
trying
to
free
his
leg
all
the
while
growling.
The
groomer
then
told
our
dog
to
stop
moving,
and
proceeded
to
muzzle
him,
who
instantly
became
terrified
for
the
groomer
to
finish
cutting
his
nails.
The
other
groomers
we
have
been
to
have
taken
their
time
(i.e.,
a
couple
of
minutes
more)
and
have
never
let
our
dog
become
that
stressed
and
agitated
to
the
point
of
growling.
I
have
never
seen
him
handled
so
forcefully.
I
am
very
dissatisfied
that
the
groomer
continued
to
agitate
our
dog
and
was
essentially
manhandling
him
while
he
was
in
distress.
We
understand
that
a
growling
dog
is
not
what
groomers
want
to
deal
with,
but
we
felt
this
could
have
gone
differently
if
the
groomer
gave
the
dog
a
break
instead
of
forcefully
continuing
to
cut
his
nails.
Other
groomers
we
have
been
to
have
taken
their
time
to
cut
his
nails,
without
him
ever
growling.
The
job
was
done
but
it
felt
so
rushed
(the
groomer
finished
in
2-3
minutes)
and
stressful
that
it
was
an
unpleasant
experience.
We
will
not
be
going
back
again.
