Testimonials
“I did 2 classes and while ago with my schnauzer. Then my daughter did 4 classes and about to do the trick learning class. The trainer there now is fabulous.”
– Customer
“Never coming here again. I come to pick up my dog and you tell me 1 minute and begin to cut and groom other dogs and ignore me. Stood here for 10-15 minutes while you could’ve gotten my dog. Horrible service, no customer service.”
– Customer
“The first time I couldn’t even get an appointment. Last time I had his nails trimmed, it was an hour wait. Had to bump it ahead a few days because they charge an additional $5 on a $22 charge for a nail trim on weekends & holidays.”
