Designer hair for dogs
Yes you did read that correctly, many dog owners are now having their dog's hair to match theirs. A lot of cities now have a dog saloon where your dog is able to be pampered as much as a human being is pampered.
It is fascinating walking down a street in a major city in the Far East and trying to anticipate what the dog owners will have decided to have for their dog's makeover. You can see dogs coming out of the saloon with multi-color hair. And their owners have the same matching hair color but not style.
Now that might be an extreme you don't want for your dog, but many people do take their dogs to get their coat trimmed. You need to find a saloon where your dog would be content to sit while their coat is washed, and then cut and finally dried.
Many dogs hate the process and will try all ways to get out of the water, and move around while their coats are being cut. A good saloon will take this into consideration, and will start to build a relationship of trust with both you and your dog.
Just like you have to try different hairdressers before finding the right one, who will cut and style your hair the way you want, so it could take time to find the right hairdresser for your dog. Your dog won't be able to tell you what they think of the hairdresser, but if they sit calmly and allow the person to wash and cut their coat then you are likely to have found the right person. If on the other hand they are jumping around the place, barking like mad and won't let the person near them, then it is likely you have found the wrong person.
But if you really want the full works, of color and perm for your dogs then you will need to find a saloon that is not only prepared to pamper your dog, but is also qualified to treat your dog the way it deserves to be treated. You are the only one who can decide whether you dog will have its normal cut or a designer cut next time you take it to the saloon. Listen and watch your dog's reaction and be guided by them as they will respond the only way they know how.
