OR SCROLL FOR YOUR LIFE!
Too Sensitive? Or Just Paying Attention?
Apparently burnout is just an excuse. If you haven’t landed a brand deal or sponsorship, it’s because you don’t deserve one. And if you're not where you want to be, it's because you’re not working hard enough.
How to Avoid Anxiety Transferrance when you are Grooming
The ‘Anxiety’ album includes hit tracks from bands such as the German Shepherds, the Border Collies and the Labrador Retrievers.
Compassion Fatigue
There are many reasons why people become dog groomers. Money, flexibility, opportunity, environment, but there is one thing most will ultimately have in common: they want to help dogs.
Coping with Anxiety
Many groomers will often take home conflict from a staff member or client. We also deal with difficult animal welfare situations and a host of other daily stresses.
“In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”
ERIC HOFFER
