Mobile Groomers?

I just got a Havanese puppy, I'm not quite ready to get anything done to it yet, just looking for future reference. I think I want to keep his hair relatively short (I have 2 small kids, don't have time to keep up the long hair). I'm new to this dog thing and not sure what all groomers will do. Are you a private groomer? If so where are you located?

Dont wait..get him used to people clippers scissors etc now.. get him in biweekly or monthly at the least when he is small...most groomers will give you a discount...honestly have been grooming for over 10 yrs...and have NEVER done a Havanese..need to look up what needs to be done to them..I work out of my house..I am in Hollywood..I am not in the phone book anymore so if you need my # pm me..

I used a mobile groomer in the St. Mary's area twice, and she's fired. Sorry. But the first time she did my poodle, she got something in her eye and it was irritated for a week, and she cut her ear and left it a bloody mess. Giving her the beneifit of the doubt, I used her again, and she butchered her ears leaving them uneven, left uneven hairs on her face and her mouth. It was nighttime, so most of this wasn't noticable right away. And, the dog screams everytime she cuts her nails. Now....... I cut her nails in between groomings, and she dosen't make a peep. I'm not using the mobile groomer anymore, so any suggestions on where to take my poodle?
Oh, and the first grooming session took 2 1/2 hours, the second was over three hours, and she charged me $65.

I have used a Mobile Groomer for my poodle for 4 years now, I pay 60.00 for the works. My groomer is great, and I have been very happy with her. When I used Pets Mart they charged 40.00 for his cut. It is well worth the extra money to me. He is done in about an hour, and I don't have to go back and forth, plue he is not sitting in a cage for most of the day.

my 4h club does nail clipping for $4 and baths for $5 at the chs when they have the rabies clinics... couldnt imagine paying someone $100 for clipping my dogs, its better off going out and buying a nice set of clippers. That way i have clippers for my dogs and horses

I have a Golden Retriever and a Bichon Frise. We had a mobile groomer coming out every 4-5 weeks and she missed her last appointment. I love the way she does our dogs and is fairly resonablly priced but have not been able to get ahold of her since. I called one mobile groomer but they apparently will only do the Bichon? Can anyone suggest a groomer? My poor girls haven't been done in about 9 weeks and the bichon is starting to look like a mop...poor girl!
