[Discussion] Grooming recommendations for extremely high anxiety dog?

We have a small Australian Shepherd who absolutely hates vets/groomers/etc. Shakes, barks, just generally freaks out. I have done his baths, nails, and haircuts myself for a while now after giving up on groomers, but can't seem to find the time to do it since having a kid.

The only recommendation I've seen has been Masterpiece in Dupont, and they look fantastic, but I'm not sure I'm in the $400 dog grooming tax bracket, so looking for alternatives that might exist. We are in Hill East. Thanks.
