Summary
In our latest episode of The Daily Groomer, I chat with Shannon Cox, owner of Shannon’s Pretty Paws and a 2024 Top Grooming Business winner. Shannon’s known for her work with anxious and “difficult” dogs, and we get into how she builds trust with them, supports her clients through the process, and comes up with creative solutions for tough grooming situations. She also shares her approach to setting boundaries, maintaining strong client relationships, and running a salon where dogs feel genuinely safe. If you’re a groomer who works with challenging cases—or just looking for down-to-earth advice—you’ll find a lot of value in this conversation.
