A grooming dog comes in that is matted and neglected by the owner. How would you discuss this with the owner?

For example, are you in school, would like to be in school, are career focused, etc.?

How do you handle when the day doesn't go as planned.*

You just worked 4 long days in a row and you have a day off!*

You worked your four days this week and you have the day off. But another groomer has an emergency and a full book of clients. You don't have any plans today. Would you help him/her out? What would you suggest?

You are slow in grooming so far today.*

You're waiting for your first grooming client of the day. The daycare staff is slammed with incoming dogs. What could you do in the meantime?

A customer does not like his dog's haircut.*

You worked on a dog that was difficult, and in the end, the haircut was not ideal. The customer is dissatisfied. Please talk to him.
