Dog grooming business owner struggles with clients not maintaining their dogs between appointments, leading to harder groomings, and needs to price differently per client to avoid undervaluing services.

Existing solutions (teaching brushing, giving comb) fail because clients don't follow through; there's no automated system to price based on dog condition or client behavior.
