My job as a dog bather/soon to be groomer isn't the craziest but does have it's dangers and can be very stressful. It's also exhausting as it's a very physical job (ie. Big dogs know that if they sit down, it makes it hard for you to move them or work on them, try wrestling a st bernard sometime )

I usually have to deal with at least one dog that tries to bite me a day. Usually, its for having to clip or grind their nails- I mean I wouldn't want someone coming at my feet with a dremel tool either lol. While most dogs just try to nip out of fear, we do get some who are honestly aggressive and committed to trying to harm you if given even the slightest opening.


I can see why most people quit. If you can't remain comfortable, calm, and confident with what you're doing the dogs know it and often will act out because of it.
