Dayna is also an outstanding person. She is a compassionate pet lover who treats our dog with patience, kindness and caring. Recently, he's had a downturn and needed her help. As busy as she is, and as booked up as one can be -- she showed up to help. And, Cody has never looked better than when Dayna finishes with him. I give Dayna my strongest recommendation. She is truly great in every way.

So I tried cutting my dogs's hair and of course it was a disaster. The bigger problem was her nails…read morefrom her paws were just too long and unfortunately, I couldn't bring myself to cut them. I hadn't been here in a while. I think the last time they saw my dog was around Covid time. However, I think their service is very reasonably priced. I will also say I think they did a fun great job with my pup. Most places wanna charge you over $100 luckily this place was under 100 and it included the wash as well as a nail trim and she didn't look horrible after . I am glad they were able to take me in the lady at the front desk was very nice and accommodating. I will definitely be going back here for Haircut for my pup.

Heather and her team take the best care of my Maltipoo, London. My pup was a rehome situation and…read moreher early life was challenging. She came to us scared to death at 4 months old. Heather made a plan to gently help London understand and get accustomed to the grooming process. Heather has helped me and my family understand London, her breed, her needs, and tips tricks and hacks that make caring for her at home a breeze. I love that The Bark Side is so on it that they give me London's groom schedule for the whole year so I never have to wonder when her next appointment is or have to keep up with booking it myself. Highly recommend.

I've been taking my dog's to Heather for many years. Up until now, she was professional and…read morefriendly. She made a scheduling error ( confirmed 10:30 apt. but was actually 8:30. ) She offered to get us in at 12:30 which was going to be difficult for my schedule. Upon me sharing my concerns, she basically responded saying if we didn't show up, we would still have to pay for the apt. I made changes to my schedule and took my dog in. Heather was so condescending when I dropped off and picked up my dog. I left thinking she must just not want my business anymore. As I've read other reviews in here, apparently I'm not the only customer that she is condescending to. And, if she is like that with customers, how is she treating your pet? I'm at peace with my decision to move on.

I personally love the idea of a "do it yourself" dog spa. My puppy was rescued from the shelter and has extreme separation anxiety and can be defensive when people he doesn't know touch him.

I would absolutely recommend trying a personal spa if you have a nervous dog like mine!

Tony, the owner of this establishment is a moody AND mean spirited person! The first Red Flag I…read morewitnessed was when I picked up my older dog from her after a grooming appointment. She barked at me that my dog needed "Trazadone!" She INSISTED that he was senile! I took him to our Veterinarian and was assured that he wasn't senile, but sensitive due to hearing and sight loss. On my last visit to have my dog's face groomed, Tony was short, snappy and grumpy toward my dog. It was then that I made the decision to never return to her salon. My new groomer validated my feelings about Tony by informing me that she had heard bad reports about her temperament. One never knows how their dog is being treated when their dog is at the groomer. Tony is cruel, find a new groomer, as I did!

I am so happy I found Patrick and Lorna. Unfortunately I recently gained a need for a service dog…read more I've tried owner training before and it's not easy. It's also not easy to find programs that train German Shepherds for service and give them to civilians that need them. I have my reasons for wanting the GSD instead of a lab or golden, and it's related to disability. Then there's the ridiculous cost and waiting period for a program dog. Enter Incredible Canine with their amazing resume. Unfortunately they don't have a ton of reviews which made my decision unnerving. But after three weeks of absolute torture (and having to foster a dog to keep my stress down and mind off his absence), I got him back. Well, my dog was a shelter dog where after I paid for him one of the staff said he pulls so hard he needs a harness. True. But not after three weeks with Incredible Canine. He came out the day I got him back and as Lorna was working him, I wanted to cry - he reminded me of a show dog! For the next few months I worked with Patrick alongside my dog. I now have a dog that just completed a successful 20 minute down stay at Petsmart with another German Shepherd and other dogs and people walking around. He heeled with me and a leash loosely around my neck, rather than in my hands for a while in Petsmart without sniffing treats or getting very distracted. I'm so excited about our training and know this was well worth it. We have fundamentals down I would have never been able to get (or had the patience to get down at this point) in such a short period of time. I'm realistic and know I will need to begin training another dog in about 4 years. I hope Patric and Lorna will train another one for me!

Mel and Kingman have such a gentle, reassuring, loving way about them that Trixie purrs through her mani-pedi appointments. She purrs!!! The mobile aspect is a Godsend too. Mel texts a picture of Trixie after the nail trim if I'm not home (which is to say that I can carry on with my day and can still get the claws trimmed ---- LOVE that!). During one appointment, I happened to mention that Trixie throws up a lot so Mel suggested it might be due to chicken in her diet. Mel sure knows cat behavior because I tried kibble without any chicken and WOW what a difference in Trixie's digestion. Thank you Mel and Kingman for your loving help with my kitty.

Snazzy did such a good job with my beautiful Yorkie.

It was all worth the patience to get through the little hiccups leading up to the appointment because I know my sweet boy was well taken care of. He feels much better shedding all that fur in this heat & the bandana was such an adorable touch. You can tell that Snazzy really cares about the pets she takes care of & about what she does & that makes me feel amazing. Thank you for making my boy a happy boy!
