Apollo goes to Shelley's Pet Boutique (https://www.facebook.com/Shelleys-Pet-Boutique-139601686087455/) and always looks so spiffy when he gets done, plus he loves Shelley and Dawn. I asked her to show me how to groom him for when we're on the road - I don't want to take him to some stranger because of that story about the groomer who lopped that dog's ear off and superglued it back on. 
So tonight I got to watch while she trimmed his hair and face, did his toes, etc. I was totally impressed! There's a lot more that goes into dog grooming than what you'd think, and I don't even have anything special done to Apollo, nor is he a behavior problem.
The biggest reason is that she knows how to make your dog sit still and behave without being mean to him or getting grouchy. The second biggest reason is that she's FAST. And the third reason is that she has all sorts of cool tools and they're all in top condition.
So if you ever get winchy about spending the money to take your dog to get his/her hairs did, it really is worth it because most people can't do it as efficiently or, frankly, that well at home.
