I'm glad you got good advice on finding a good groomer, there are SO many shitty ones out there.

Petsmart groomers are shitty because they only get a few weeks of training. (Yes, I KNOW they say they offer months of training. But, I also know a current Petsmart groomer and some former groomers who now run other grooming businesses...)
I apprenticed under a master groomer for a year before I got any of my own clients.
But, one of our old kennel employees didn't want to do on-the-job training to learn to groom well. So, she went to Petsmart and had her own clients within weeks of leaving us. They don't care how GOOD the groomer is. They just want the commission off of their grooms. It's all volume and not personal attention to detail and temperment.
