Oliver is a Miniature Schnauzer who was brought in for grooming one day by the nurse of his owner. I don't know too much about his background, but he was such a mess I wasn't even sure he was a purebred Schnauzer. His coat was extremely greasy and grimy, so the first thing I did was put him straight in the tub. He got two baths and one with a good degreaser. He was somewhat nervous once up on the grooming table, I don't know how often he had been groomed but it seemed like a new experience for him. Nevertheless, he was a good boy, and I was able to blow dry his coat and get the mats out easily. Once I took my clippers to him, a beautiful Schnauzer emerged from under the mess of hair. He was so handsome and seemed much happier after his grooming, this was a rewarding experience for me as a groomer.
