I have a toy poodle and she comes to work with me every day (nails), they have to well behaved and trained, no jumping up on legs etc.

Clients should also not handle him/her as this will make them more demanding. Not all people like dogs.

The last thing you need is a complaint from a client.

Not for me...I don't think a salon is the place for pets or children.

I went to a salon once where the owner took her dog everyday...and if you didn't make a fuss of her pooch she would be offended. I don't do fake coo-ing so i didn't go back.

Its just not nessesary...if you are out at work all day and your dog doesn't like being at home alone then maybe thinking twice before getting the dog is better.

I like dogs but wont have one because it wouldn't be fair on the dog...

Pets in salons ..... Hmmmm (dont all throw things at me) but im not a lover of animals and I wouldnt want to go to a salon for a treatment with an animal present.....I wouldnt think its very hygienic.

For the record I am against animal cruelty and wouldnt harm an animal............. I just dont love animals x

I used to have a white toy poodle called Cindy when I was a kid. I was only tiny when she was a puppy and my memories of her are more of when she was an older dog. They are VERY intelligent and perceptive, you will have a lot of fun with Dolly. :hug:

With regards to having a dog in the salon, personally speaking I wouldn't mind in the least . . . the computer shop I use has a chihuahua in situ, the jewellers has a small dog (can't remember what breed lol). Obviously, we spend a lot more time in salons and I guess if you have a yapper then that may not make for such a peaceful treatment. Do you have a separate room for treatments and the pup will be in reception? Clearly she would have to be a very well behaved doggy and I'm sure that with your love and guidance she will be exactly that :hug:.

I can only say that I wouldn't mind, personally, but I can't speak for everyone. I'm very much an animal lover and I'd quite like every shop I visited to have their pets around . . .


Just a though, some people are allergic, but as poodles don't moult, you shouldn't have any problems there, good choice lol!

I was going to tell you to talk to nail zoo lol but he's already been on, I remember when his had pups, they were soooooooooooo cute. I to have a non molter, mines a yorkie and while she was growing we had a puppy cage for her to go into if anyone looked a bit nervous and it made her feel more secure. But it is better if you can get the clients to just ignore her, rather then spoil her rotten :lol:.
You are going to have to post a pic you know:hug:

I agree i have a shihtzu and she is very demanding for attention so when my clients come to my house they are in another room so they dont feel they have offended me by not fussing her.
