    Took my 10 month old Cavalier King Charles for his first grooming appointment, and the staff did a fantastic job! I asked for a trim to even out his long and unruly coat. The entire process (from drop off to pick-up) took around 2 hours. He came home looking and feeling great, and the staff were super friendly as well!

    We love Austin Canine Central. Both of our doodles go there for grooming and they always come out looking great. One of our dogs is a hyper monster and I don't know how they deal with her so well. As long as they will take us we will keep going back!

    Please go to Yelp first before purchasing anything! Thankfully yelp had a coupon and we were able to save on our dogs training. The host was very kind and accommodating to get us into October and November trainings. Our bully mix is only seven months old and she was the youngest in the class. We chose to get our pepper some training because dogs that look like pit bulls have bad stereotypes and our pup is the sweetest and this training really helped bring out the beautiful side of our pepper. From 7 PM to 8 PM the trainer explains each rule and expectation for everyone. She gave really good suggestions and commendation when our puppy was doing good. Because our puppy is so young and looks like a pitbull we felt a little defeated in the beginning but slowly warmed up and everyone in the class was like a small family it was cute. I would strongly suggest you take your puppy to this class or a class similar so asked to have a good relationship with your dog and be able to take him or her with you anywhere and not be afraid or concerned. The space was huge and inside so we weren't having to cross contaminate anyone or anything. Masks were required at all time. It was more of a work out for me and my husband and it was for my puppy who enjoyed every moment. Thank you Austin canine central

    This place was fantastic. I especially want to thank Julie and her super generous dedicated trainers/"students" (hard to call them students...they looked like trainers with their well behaved dogs!) who stayed late to help get my ol' girl Magz tested as a Good Canine Citizen. Magz has advanced arthritis...rescued her from Class Canines at the Austin Animal Center at age 10. At age almost 14, she has very bad elbows and hips. Julie went beyond the call of duty to proactivity inquire about testing options approved by the AKC for senior dogs who have slow and limited mobility. Most facilities would have taken my money over and over again to train a dog who finds it hard to get into certain positions. But not this school...they immediately asked if I wanted to try the test and I was delighted. Magz passed with flying colors. (She followed directions better than me. LOL.) Thank you Julie and your dedicated students! Magz gives you four paws up!

    I'm assuming that this is a one-off occurrence since all of the other reviews are fairly positive. I have a large Sheepadoodle (80#) and my regular groomer had a health emergency and needed to cancel our appointment for the following day. I was concerned that it may be a month or more before he could handle such a large dog. I messaged ACC and they were quick to respond and able to fit her in quickly. I told them that she needs to be wore out a bit before grooming, which is why I was excited about them providing daycare services. I was there at 7am to drop her off. They said that the groomer starts at 9am, so she could play with the other dogs until then. I was surprised to learn that the dogs are kenneled for a majority of the time, and I should have been late for work and taken her home, but I proceeded as they ensured me that the dogs are tired and ready to go into the kennels. I told them that I'd be back around 4pm to get her and she understood. I was called at 10:00am and said that she was ready to be picked up. I was shocked to say the least because it normally takes 4-5 hours at any other groomer. She said that my dog would be in daycare until I come by that evening. I came to pick her up a little after 3pm and the office was silent. An older lady was at the desk and I told her who I was and she got up to get my dog. She walked thru a closet door and turned on the light where I was able to see a wall of kennels and dogs immediately started barking. It took her over 5 minutes to reemerge with my dog, who's pulling on the leash harder than I've ever seen before! The lady actually had to let go before the dog pulled her over. My dog ran to me and sat at my feet, whining and crying. I noticed the bottom few inches of her feet were wet and yellow, along with part of her chest. I smelled them and could pickup hints of urine, but they had sprayed her with some type of perfume. I was infuriated, but maintained my composure and left before yelling at this older lady and probably regretting it later. I did take photos as soon as I got in my truck, and started typing this review while in the parking lot, but decided to sleep on it before tarnishing a small business. I washed her feet once we got home and got her ready for the Halloween activities happening on the following day, she was dressing up as Harley Quinn. On the first of November, I was rinsing the pink and blue coloring off of her ears and noticed that one of them is packed with ear mites. I have a dog with floppy ears, I realize that they need to be properly cleaned during a bath and dried appropriately to avoid mites, she hasn't had an issue for over two years. Either this occurred after the grooming because she wasn't properly dried (I've never seen mites get this bad that quickly), or the groomer didn't notice it and clean accordingly (or even let me know). Either way, that was the straw that made me type this miniature novel. Overall, the location isn't great, the people weren't overly friendly, and the services were the worst I've ever experienced. I will not be back. As I said, this may be a one time incident and everything snowballed, but it was a terrible experience.

    Austin Canine Central did a great job with my little Schnauzer!! Not only were they able to fit us in the next day but the cut was exactly what I asked for (short Schnauzer). Will definitely be coming back for grooming!! Hint: there is no line for a tip on their CC receipt so be sure to bring cash or ask to include tip.

    I really like this place! It is a great concept! I've only been here for play groups with my pups but I love the set up. They have a really nice indoor space with a great type of flooring that is very pup friendly and add offers extra padding to their high impact play. I feel like the mirror is a great touch too! Gives the pups a bit of extra stimulation and I'm sure it helps a ton in working with show pups which is one of the main courses here. The owners are really great too! I spent a lot of time talking to the wife about their classes and trainers and very much enjoyed learning about the different events they attend. She was super friendly and if I didn't work at a doggy daycare I would make the trek to their place for daycare! That's how much I believe in their service, I'd recommend them to anyone in their area! The other thing I liked is that they offer brands of food and training treats that I haven't seen before! I personally used their Real Meat treats for my kiddos and they worked amazing for training! They also sell a Real Meat seasoning that is dried out meats that are blended to a powder and without a doubt the best thing to help a pup find an appetite! Hope to visit more in the future!

Since reading other reviews, I'm grateful to have canceled this appt after reading reviews of them leaving cats and pups with bloody paws and being returned wet. Do yourself a favor and do not make an appt with this company. Find someone else who is reliable.

Our old groomers no longer seem to work here, but we still rave about the kindness and care the team showed our pups back in 2021. 2026: Our new pup arrived to us covered in mats so severe I had to trim some myself, leaving him a bit uneven. We scheduled a grooming session but didn't realize he would be receiving a "first-time puppy cut," which is different from a full grooming appointment. I completely understand the difference, but I wish I had been informed upfront, as I was expecting a full-body cut--especially at the price we paid. A month later, we tried a different groomer, Ivy, after seeing a Goldendoodle cut on their Instagram that we loved. She did an amazing job! As a reminder, per most pet grooming policies, all dogs must have up-to-date vaccines before their appointment. Additionally, there is now a late pickup fee if you arrive more than 30 minutes after your pet's session is completed.
