We are a home based grooming salon were we take one dog at a time or one family of dogs. One on one with the groomer I found is best, the dogs are calmer, enjoy the grooming a little better & they are in / out a lot faster. No crate drying, drying is only done on the table with dryers, we only have a crate for when there is a multi dog household & need a waiting place for one pup while I work on another. Average groom time is 2hrs per medium size dog. 60lbs & under. Flexible on hours from 9am to evening.
