The employees were so helpful and kind in answering all my questions. I dropped my dog off for a "vibe check" during the day prior to boarding, which I really appreciated because it helped both parties get a better sense of service comparability. Overall, mochi had such a great time and came home completely exhausted and happy. If I weren't just in ATL for a few weeks, I would 100% use this service again! Special mention: I loved receiving a "report card" at the end of each day in boarding. It was so fun getting to see what my dog was up to while I was gone!

Absolutely highly recommend City Dogz!!! This is an overdo review from over a month of my dog…read moreconsistently coming to City Dogz, so settle in - it's long but I hope helpful! I honestly don't leave reviews very often, but I really want to support this business and see them succeed because they have been so great to both me and my dog Goose. I have a high energy, high anxiety 3 year old goldendoodle with some quirks. This is the 3rd day care we've tried in as many years and this team has by far made me feel the most comfortable out of any daycare we've tried out. Before we booked our vibe day one of their team members spent at least 30 minutes on the phone with me listening to my concerns (based on previous day cares we've visited) answering my questions with so much patience and kindness. They actually communicate with me at pick up and drop off (I don't have to try to pull information out of them, they update me and let me know if there is anything I should be aware of) and are very responsive over text. I can tell the owner and staff not only truly care about my dog, but also know their stuff - how to make appropriate corrections when needed, how to separate groups, give breaks, etc. based on each dogs needs. Previous day cares I've gone to both indoor only and indoor/outdoor have sent my 65lb dog home pretty dirty at times which almost makes daycare more of a pain (having to unexpectedly bath my big wild boy is not something that's a quick and easy process). Not only does he not come home dirty, but one time the owner Azhia brought him out when I was picking him up and I was like "why does he smell clean?". She said that she always thought it was a pain when she would pick her dogs up from daycare and they were a mess and so she goes the extra mile for her clients (they wipe them down as needed - but you can also easily add on things like teeth brushing, nail dreamels, licky mats, baths, etc. for small extra charge) They let them be dogs and get messy while they're there which I love, but I literally picked up a cleaner dog then I dropped off . Their outdoor area is pretty large with different sections for different dogs, has a sandbox and kiddy pool, etc. but they also have an indoor area. They upload pictures and videos on their site that you get linked to in text/email vibe reports everyday they visit, which is so fun and they update their IG account with stories everyday so you get some great pics and videos of your pet, as well as a bit of an understanding of their day. One of the team members Brice and I have gotten to know each other a bit at pick ups and drop offs over quick chats, since they come out to your car for both (another perk!) I happened to mention Goose needed to be groomed but I was trying to figure out how to make it work with my current schedule. He told me that he knew an excellent groomer that he could have come to City Dogz and they would just bring him in for his groom in time for me to pick him up. Not only did she do a fantastic job, but she has very competitive pricing as well. I used to pick up my dog from a daycare, where I could literally see on the camera that their staff was just sitting in the room looking at their phones while dogs just kind of walked or laid around. My dog wasn't necessarily excited to get dropped off and would come back acting like he hadn't been mentally or physically enriched for lack of a better word. Not only does my dog rush to the gate excited to go inside at City Dogz, but he also snuggles up to the various team members when he gets picked up so I know he is happy there and trusts them. He's also generally calm when he gets picked up so I know he got some good energy out. Doggy day care and boarding is too expensive to drop money when you don't feel comfortable that your dog is getting the right play and attention and care in my opinion. I'm so happy with my experience, when my commute changes, I'll end up driving out of my way to bring Goose here as needed, as opposed to the option that is just down here street for me. I'm sure you're all sick of reading if you've made it this far . Check them out, they're the best!!!

In the weeks before our older dog had to be euthanized, they were particularly super. Our new dog is high-energy, and she loves to go spend time with all her friends. Regular nail trimming is great for us, particularly her front paws. They offer bathing and grooming, but we don't particularly care for the perfumed scent of their standard shampoo, and our dog doesn't shed much. They're also very good about hygiene and cleanliness, requiring documented 6-month Bordetella ("Kennel cough") vaccinations.

I will say, be prepared, because he's going to be very straight forward and some may be a little sensitive to his approach, (in short, it's not the dog, it's you, and he's going to tell you that) so try not to get your feelings hurt.

My friends were astonished at how well-behaved and socialized they were. Zsolt trained my dogs and me to do everything from basic obedience (voice commands), advanced obedience (hand signals and whispered commands), agility, and tricks like jumping through hoops. Amazingly, he taught my dogs to NEVER enter my home's open floor plan living room. My home had no baby gates or other devices to bar the dogs from entering the space - just a clear understanding of what is in bounds and out of bounds for them. My dogs were excellent and well-behaved companions in nature and the city thanks to Zsolt's training methods. Our life with dogs was easeful and filled with joy. We will be getting a puppy in the Fall, and she will be Zsolt's doggy student as soon as she arrives home. Zsolt's retainer model is a service that is well worth the investment. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Prior to his training with Robin, he knew some basic commands but he'd only obey them if he was incentivized by a treat or toy. He constantly pulled on his leash and we definitely did not trust him off leash. Our primary goal with training was off leash walking and recall and Robin knocked it out of the park.It's been 7 months since his training and he's still crushing it. During training, she sent us updates almost every day so we could watch his progress and he had a great time with them. When Robin dropped him off after his training, he cried when she left - that's how much fun he had during his board and train. Since then, we have boarded Milo with Robin and David 5 or 6 times and Milo's always so happy to see them. David always picks Milo up and drops him off at our house and he's always professional and on time. We're planning on getting another dog in a year or two and will absolutely have Atlanta Dog Stars do their training as well. We did a lot of research before choosing a dog trainer and we could not recommend Robin and David enough.
