Dog owners want to know how their pet will be handled

Before dropping off a dog, owners wonder whether the space is safe, whether their pet will stay calm, and whether you have the right tools for its coat. Helpful shots include a steel table with a grooming arm, a tub with a gentle rinse, a high-velocity dryer at work, a deshedding tool or slicker brush on the table, and a freshly groomed dog sniffing a towel. These scenes point to gentle handling and proper equipment, which is what drives the choice of a groomer.

Advice from the grooming table

• Don't post dogs with a tight loop or a frightened look; attentive owners will read it as rough handling.
• If you don't take cats, leave them out; if you do, give them their own section.
• Pick breeds similar to the ones you see most, since a standard poodle won't speak to the owner of a short-haired mix.
• A dog in a stock image isn't one of your clients; before-and-after posts should feature pets you groomed.
