The Modern Canine - Poodle Groomer

The Modern Canine

(3 reviews)

Here's a short blurb that pretty much recaps my entire review for those who don't want to read the…read morewhole thing: "That's why I still recommend The Modern Canine for the store itself and will continue to support it by buying toys and treats, but I DO NOT RECOMMEND HAVING YOUR DOG GROOMED HERE. Keep your dogs far far away from Lisa." I hesitate writing this review because the owners, Monica and Arjun, are EXTREMELY nice and run a well kept and absolutely adorable shop filled with amazing treats, toys, and food options/toppers for dogs. The Modern Canine is conveniently located in a strip mall on 206 with plenty of parking, and they give free puppacinos to dogs who visit. Unfortunately, my review is as low as it is because I had a TERRIBLE experience with their groomer Lisa. Despite the multiple recommendations I received in a local neighborhood Facebook page for a reputable groomer, Lisa did the worst grooming job I've ever seen (I had a cockapoo for 16 years prior to the puppy I have now). Worst of all, I trusted this groomer enough to do my dog's haircut 2 weeks before our wedding. I paid $80 for a full body haircut, bath, brush/blowout, ear cleaning, and nail trim. My fiance was the one taking our dog to/from the groomer, so I reached out on Instagram a week before the appointment with "inspiration/inspo pictures" for the haircut so they'd know exactly how to groom him and my fiance wouldn't have to worry about explaining it to them since he would be rushing during his lunch break to take our dog to this appointment. They said they'd add the pictures to his file but when the day of his appointment came around, they called me while I was working to ask if I had pictures even though I already sent them and they said they'd add the pictures to his file a week beforehand. When my fiance picked him up, the hair on his face was much rounder than my inspo pictures. I asked the groomer to round it out a little more to match the picture and the outcome was a sloppy, choppy MESS. I requested a partial refund for the face trim and part of the tip to reflect the cheaper overall cost, which the owners graciously gave me. When I was home the next day, I noticed that even the body was cut sloppily. Lisa left long patches on his butt and paws and it looked like she just cut his hair with straight scissors instead of blending it out and making it more of a clean cut. I feel like I could have bought a dog grooming kit on Amazon and done a better job. I reached back out requesting a full refund of the tip which they willingly refunded. The owners handled the situation very professionally, and they were apologetic which I appreciate. That's why I still recommend The Modern Canine for the store itself and will continue to support it by buying toys and treats, but I DO NOT RECOMMEND HAVING YOUR DOG GROOMED HERE. Keep your dogs far far away from Lisa. I've since found an amazing and extremely talented groomer to fix the mess Lisa made. This other groomer also agreed that his face trim came out extremely choppy and sloppy. I'll post a review of the lifesaver groomer on my profile if you'd like to see the groomer I highly recommend instead.

Kristen is the best- she's detail-oriented (the long lashes!), and can get rid of some ear matting while still maintaining the long-haired ears (I didn't realize I was only brushing the top layer, and learned from her that day how to brush her properly as a first-time dog mom). The store also has high-quality treats, food, and enrichment toys, along with other items you may want/need, and the owners are helpful and friendly. A great addition to the area!

To correct the 6/25 HFGDR response from my earlier post, we never indicated that we wanted a hypo…read moreallergenic dog. I have no idea where that came from. Our dog was a mixed breed Sato rescue from the SPCA, which was a wonderful experience. My dog before that was a mixed breed rescue as well. Our application was never denied. In fact, we were approved for an aged 6 month + adoption and I have the evidence from attending an adoption fair. It was after that fair, that achieving any follow up was very difficult, though I eventually did receive an email after many attempts. I gather the respondent confused me with a different applicant. I know there is a lot of good work done there and the dogs look great, it was just difficult to communicate so we moved on.

A family member of mine who has rescued dogs all their life, raised them, trained them, gave them…read morean incredibly loving, caring, and amazing home, applied for a dog with this "rescue". They IMMEDIATELY rejected her application, stating that their policy is against all boundary training. All dogs should be boundary trained, because god-forbid they get out of their harness, or sneak out the door when it is opened for guests, and they know how to obey a basic boundary command such "heal" or "place" or "to me". It's absolutely insane to think a rescue would be against this training, especially when trying to rescue stray dogs. That's a farce of a company, and they are falsely advocating that they have dog's best interests in mind. Every dog should know where their home is and who it's with, and how to stay near. It's disgusting that they would reject incredibly caring rescue dog people for wanting to include boundary training in the abundance of training my family goes above and beyond with to ensure their rescue dogs stay safely with them and to ensure they lead the most comfortable life. Then once informed of how they exactly plan to train them, and included videos on previous training successes, my family was immediately responded to with a hostile email saying that they refuse to process their application. No research into what my family does, how well they have loved and taken care of all the rescue dogs they've ever had. Just ridiculous and honestly extremely sad. Sad and heartbreaking that they would reject kind people and a loving home for any of these babies just wanted to finally find their furever family. I hope they reevaluate how they respond to people and how they make these policies that keep good families from adding these amazing pups to their home, and get these dogs into the best care.
