“Too many rules” — or a sign of a properly run dog grooming / washing business?

All professional dog grooming / washing businesses should have clear Terms of Service — including mine.

They exist because real situations happen in real work, and clear expectations protect both the dog and the owner.

Most people already agree to terms every day without thinking twice — banks, gyms, insurance, car servicing, and online platforms all require them before use.

Dog grooming / washing is no different. It’s a professional service involving live animals, handling, time, safety, and responsibility, so clear terms are simply part of best practice.

I run a legitimate, registered business with proper systems, processes, and clear Terms of Service. That’s not extra — it’s standard for a professional service involving people’s pets.

For dog owners, clear Terms of Service are something worth looking for when choosing a dog grooming / washing service. It’s a simple way to understand how a business operates and what level of care and accountability they provide.

🐶 WINTER DOG WASHES DONE PROPERLY 🩵❄️

Yes… you might save $10 somewhere else.

But what does that “saving” actually cost your dog?

Cold water.
Standing wet outside in winter.
Rushed washes.
A bath dragged out of the back of a van.
In and out in 20 mins — the wash is over before the water even has time to heat up.

Cheap and brilliant are not the same thing.

At FURtastic Dog Wash, every dog is washed INSIDE my fully enclosed trailer with:

🩵 Instant GAS hot water
🩵 Reverse-cycle heating
🩵 Professional grooming equipment
🩵 Qualified experienced handling
🩵 Calm, stress-free care

I’ve invested heavily into a fully professional trailer setup because your dog deserves comfort, warmth, and proper care during winter.

This isn’t “just a dog wash.”
This is premium care done properly. 🐾

📅 June bookings now open.

Lady is a senior who enjoys proper warm water baths in the Furtastic trailer due to the professional instant gas hot water system. It was a $4400- investment I made plus the on going cost of gas, however, I do this so my clients get truly the best quality service.

I don't do cheap - I do best....

Don’t blame me for your failure and your dog’s behaviour.

Today I dealt with a dog that tried to bite me — and an owner who thought the problem was how I handled it.

This is a dog I’ve been washing for some time. It’s never been an easy dog — hyperactive, anxious, and poorly disciplined — but up until now it’s been manageable because of my years of experience handling dogs like this.

The owner moved from a 4-weekly to an 8-weekly schedule, after which the dog’s behaviour and attitude declined noticeably.

During a routine wash today, the dog escalated to repeated attempts to bite.

At that point, it becomes a safety issue.

I held the dog out of biting range and used a clear verbal interrupter — a firm “ahh” — each time it attempted to bite.

No aggression. No rough handling. Just immediate action to stop unsafe behaviour.

The wash was completed without injury.

After the wash, I was told I should have stopped when the dog started acting up — not out of concern for safety, but because the owner didn’t like the dog being upset.

That explains the behaviour.

If a dog learns that pushing back gets it out of a situation, it will keep doing it. It escalates.

Then came the familiar line:
“She’s never like this for us.”

Of course she isn’t.

At home, the dog isn’t being asked to tolerate what’s required during a wash. If it resists, the task stops. The dog learns — push back and you get your way.

Then when someone actually does the job properly and doesn’t back down, the dog reacts — and suddenly it’s the dog washer’s fault.

I’ve been doing this a long time. I’m qualified. This isn’t new to me.

I’m not a dog trainer — and I don’t claim to be.
I’m there to wash your dog.
But if a dog puts me at risk, I will use safe handling and clear verbal cues to prevent bites and finish the job if it can be done safely.

This is how dogs end up in shelters — when they aren’t taught boundaries and are allowed to develop behaviour that eventually becomes too much for people to handle.

That isn’t love.
Love is raising a dog properly.

So today, I made the decision not to return.

As a rule, I do not accept dogs that bite. Safety is non-negotiable.

If I can’t carry out the job safely, or I’m not supported in maintaining that safety, I won’t continue.

Because no wash is worth an injury.
And no dog benefits from being allowed to get worse.
