Testimonials
“I am owned by a Tasmanian Australian shepherd, 16 months, yet to be trained. However I truly appreciate how the manager, Sylvia explained that Bella was too hyper and aggressive to be serviced. Bella’s veterinarian already warned me. I’m now looking at training videos & using Petsmarts obedience training for us. Sylvia, Thank You! I’d rather have an honest groomer manager like you, than have someone who’d cause a ptsd animal more trauma. Looking forward to bringing her back, so you can see her progress! 2 unexpected surgeries was my setback with her. Again, looking forward Sylvia and Thank you.”
