I wanted to ensure that everything was covered, and boy did Andrea come through! Over the course of 8 sessions, she took my rebellious pooch and turned her into a proper princess. Andrea has an abundance of knowledge and was always willing to help any way she could. From checking in, answering questions, and referring us to additional training videos an aids between sessions, to recommending treats that would help in the process, to being very flexible in scheduling sessions; I couldn't have asked for a better experience for me and my pup. Without hesitation, I will be bringing any future pups of mine to her a well as referring any new pet parents I may know. Thanks again Andrea and Bark to Basics!

We got a quick response from Melissa, who set us up with Andrea for our training sessions. Andrea was super punctual, good listener, and gave us great information for our dog training. After each of our sessions, she would write up a summary of what we went over as well as links to helpful resources. Definitely made a difference in how we train our dogs, and gave us the guidance we needed to be confident with it!

So first there should be an option for ten star because Reaba deserves that. This was by and far…read morethe most amazing experience my dog Smokey and I have had. First, this happened to fall the weekend of Hurricane Michael when everyone lost power including Reaba. It was very last minute as my trip plans changed and I had to leave earlier than expected and could not reach the place originally scheduled for my dog. I quickly search engines somewhere and Reaba popped up and I called explained my situation and though slightly off her normal stipulations she agreed to help me. Of course none of us expected the storm at this point as it was Thursday. We left, and I am always super apprehensive leaving Smokey bc he was a rescue and I always worry he thinks I am abandoning him. Well storm hits and sure enough Reaba lost power the entire time I was gone as did everyone here in Saxapahaw. When we returned Sunday we weren't sure what we would return to at our house so Reaba was gracious enough to offer if we needed to pick him up the next day that was fine. Fortunately we did not. We picked up Smoky and I was expecting the usual, my dog to be anxiously waiting for me jumping up to see me , jumping in my car, jumping and running. What I got was similar to a mopey child being picked up by mom to early I seriously could not believe it. My dog did not want to leave!! My dog came home with more manners, quieter, more well trained than I sent him!!! I am still in disbelief!!! I cannot reccommend NO BARKING BACK enough!!!! Honestly!!! I feel like my dog has made friends with Rebea's kids and can't wait to visit again! Even if you live in G'boro or Mebane it's worth the distance for the complete TLC your dog will get from Reaba will give to your furry family member -kerri D

There were three dogs in the home when it happened. One of the dogs was also shot and killed. Chance and his brother Champ survived the attack and were taken to an animal shelter in rural NC where they have been for the last month. I felt compelled that I need to adopt one of the dogs so they would know love once again. A good friend of mine is looking to adopt Chance's brother. I reached out to Pamela after I had a disaster in trying to crate train Chance. She was able set up a consultation in a very timely matter. She was so kind and you can tell she really cares about helping Chance make the transition to his new home. I really can't say enough good things about Pamela, she is a special person for sure. She has helped lift a huge weight off of me knowing we can work through things with Chance as he gets used to his new home and his second chance at love in his life.

Starting this review by saying the front desk and vet techs are all great. No complaints with them…read more Now, on to it... Avoid Dr. Grinstead at all cost. Not only is her bedside manner lacking (most of the time she spends minimum time in the room, doesn't listen to what you have to say, and you spend the rest of the time asking questions through a tech), but she's misdiagnosed our dog multiple times. I try to avoid her whenever possible, preferring the other two doctors, but when you have an urgent concern and she's the only doctor in, you have to go with what you're given. The real issue with her started this past October. We brought our dog to Eno for a routine dental cleaning on 9/29 (performed by Dr. Grinstead - I didn't get a choice of who did it). He had two little incisors taken out due to deep pockets, but otherwise was given a clean bill of health. Two days later, he couldn't lie his head down. When we brought him in to be checked out, we of course got Grinstead again. She looked at everything on the dog except his mouth (didn't even peek at the extraction site) and told us it was probably acid reflux and neck pain. Fast forward a month and a half, through multiple visits to urgent care, the ER, and Eno, and we find that our dog has an abscess, instability in his lower jaw, and a bone infection. At no point in this entire process did Eno ask to perform xrays or other diagnostics to determine the cause of our dog's pain; they just kept throwing pain meds and muscle relaxers at us. What's worse is that Grinstead's first diagnosis of neck pain haunted us through every other appointment from then on out, because that's what people were looking for, even when I asked if it could be his mouth. Even after urgent care and the ER laid eyes on a sore under his tongue (which I fought for them to look at), the first response I got to an email to Dr. LeCuyer about seeing blood on his blanket again was, "Are we certain that the blood is from Loki's mouth and not his urine? I know he was having issues with a UTI at one point so just wanted to double check on that." Really?! I've been fighting for over a month to have someone check his mouth for issues, and you're still trying to pass it off as something other than his mouth? It's absolutely ridiculous. So here we are, thousands of dollars in the hole, with a dog still suffering from mouth pain, and having to be referred yet again, this time to a dental specialist, all from a supposedly picture-perfect cleaning. I'm furious, frustrated, and wrecked that we're a month and a half into this and our dog has received no relief. I will never recommend or patronize Eno again.

It's sad to see this happen because the folks who work there really are excellent! We boarded two dogs and when we picked them up it seems the rate has effectively doubled. That was unexpected. We boarded the same two dogs for the same period of time in April and it was $380. This time it was $794. To add insult to injury, the person at the desk billed us twice. Clerical errors happen, but it's how we respond to them that matter and in my case getting help in the form of a refund has been a colossal headache. They advised us not to worry as it would be refunded. It's now three days later and no refund. Our account has been overdrawn and we've been told to "just wait" for a refund. After being billed an extra $800 leading to an account overdraw, "just wait" is an unacceptable resolution. I run a small business. If we overcharged a customer to the tune of $800 and overdrawing their account, one of my guys would be in a truck heading to that person's house with a check and an apology. Been coming here for years - sadly will be taking business elsewhere going forward. To me it's quite telling that all the recent reviews are one star. Sad to see and it pains me to contribute to that.
