She cldn't say enough good things about them, so I made an appt. I don't usually leave reviews but this place DEFINITELY DESERVES IT! Ryan is the sweetest, kindest, most caring person when it comes to our animals I don't say this about ANYONE but I'd trust my dogs life in his hands. Their reputation precedes them insofar as their courtesy, professionalism and character. Stephanie usually grooms my dogs and I've never had even close to a problem w/ her svcs. In addtn to being very outgoing, she also communicates any issues before and/or after our appt. The guys & girls who do the bathing, etc. are also GREAT! They are all so incredibly nice and so good w/the animals. I wldn't dream of taking mine ANYWHERE ELSE. So, in closing, if you need a groomer who will take the time to listen to your concerns, not take short-cuts or treat you like you're just another number and one who will treat your animal like it were their own, then call Ryan to sched an appt & you'll see exactly what I mean ~Valarie

She truly knows animal behavior and my dog who has trust issues from a very bad past, warmed up to Patty quickly.

Would highly recommend Patty with trusting hands for any of my animals needs!

I was hesitant to begin with as Misty DOES NOT like males. During our consult not only did my dog not bark but related to him in a way that gives me hope.

When we adopted Zimmy, a 4-year-old Airedale, we expected an acclimation period and basic training…read morework. What we didn't appreciate was how much of a project Zimmy would become. As we soon discovered, she had endured some rough early years -- neglect, instability, life in a doggy daycare instead of a home -- and it showed. Explosive greetings, mouthiness, intolerance to downtime, and frenzied reactions to mailmen, dogs, cats, kids on bikes, Amish buggies, lawn ornaments, and on and on. She was impulsive, mischievous, and fiercely headstrong. Nevertheless we were smitten. "It's a good thing she's cute," we told ourselves, often. But we were in over our heads. After introductory discussions with Karen, we started in-home lessons in February ahead of a board and train program. Karen didn't just work with Zimmy, she worked with us, explaining the *reasoning* behind the techniques, and patiently fielding our questions between sessions. The yes/no marker system, impulse control work, "place" and "crate" commands, recall, emotional regulation -- the pieces started to click. Karen helped us understand what we were actually trying to accomplish. By the time Zimmy was Delaware bound with Karen in May, we were already seeing real, measurable progress. What happened over those next weeks was remarkable. Zimmy got to experience beach towns and boardwalks, picnics and festivals, pet stores and Lowe's, movie nights, a Golden Retriever convention, and a nose-to-nose greeting with a horse. Karen sent daily updates -- written recaps, photos, videos -- making it all feel close to home. We watched Zimmy learn to hold a "down" while shoppers walked past her, sit calmly while strangers greeted her, get a thorough breed-specific grooming, AND eventually coexist in glorious harmony with Karen's spunky feline assistant, Chippy. To his enormous credit, and to our astonishment, Chippy treated Zimmy with the patience of a saint and the authority of a lion. We award Chippy SIX stars. Midway through the stay, Zimmy seemed maybe a little off -- subtler signs than you'd normally flag, but Karen knew Zimmy's medical history and trusted her gut. She reached out, drove Zimmy several hours back to our local vet the next morning to get checked out, then stopped by for an impromptu in-home lesson. Zimmy was *her* dog for that month, and we saw that compassion, dedication, and proactivity firsthand. Zimmy returned home in June still very much the Zimmy we had grown to love, but with a new side that we noticed immediately -- calmer greetings, impulse control, fast post-distraction recovery, and leash manners. That day, we practiced walking Zimmy past our neighbor's dog lunging and barking at the fence, and Zimmy nailed what once seemed impossible. With her outsized presence, Zimmy continues to reintegrate into our home alongside her older brother Cooper, adapting her new mindset to familiar routines and stimuli. She's as energetic as she is clever, a classically stubborn Airedale, and we can envision the work we still have ahead of us. But as each day passes, there are small moments, moments that would seem trivial to anyone who hadn't witnessed Zimmy's old ways, where even without direction from us, she's making good, simple, levelheaded decisions. She's taking afternoon naps in her crate instead of perching in surveillance mode at our front window. She's pausing at open doors and looking to us instead of blindly barging through. When passersby can't help but approach to remark on her cuteness, she welcomes the attention with newfound poise. Karen established that foundation, and with her help navigating the transition home, we have the know-how and assurance to build on it. We're immensely grateful to have Karen as Zimmy's "trainer for life." One of the hardest parts of all this was seeing Zimmy on her homecoming day, nose to the living room window, watching with longing as Karen drove off. We look forward to Karen dropping by if she's in the area, and if we ever need more extensive training or boarding, we'll know right where to go.
