    Sheena
    Meg M.

    Took my sweet but crazy 50 lb. German Shepherd/Border Collie/Pittie mix (Sheena) to K-9 Coach to be groomed today. I have already been using them for training (wonderful) and decided to book a grooming appointment as well. I cannot say enough good things about Sheena's groomer, Aurelia Moore! Aside from having the coolest name, Aurelia is just fabulous at her job. She was kind, did a thorough groom, helped me correct Sheena when necessary (I'm a new dog owner and need all the help I can get!) and gave me expert tips on how to help Sheena's coat staying beautiful. Sheena is smelling great and looking great! This was a wonderful experience and I've already scheduled our next appointment for three weeks out. Thank you so much, Aurelia! You're just the best!!

    Been taking my dogs since 2018. Classes are fun. My dog has learned to be more confident. She also achieved her Canine Good Citizen. Thanks Coach Woods, Sathid, and Becca for making training my dog a wonderful experience.

    Injury cause at the boarding center.

    I boarded my healthy 8 month old puppy while I traveled abroad for 11 days. When I returned and picked up my puppy the staff informed he had an accident and some diarrhea. When I look for what they downplayed as a scrap turned out to be an unattended abrasion that had gotten infected. This infection has caused my sweet puppy's hair to fall out in globs, as well as dehydration, vomiting and diarrhea. No one was concerned enough to contact my family of the incident so our fur baby could be seen by his vet. Multiple contact numbers that were provided. We've spent so much money from emergency vet visits, to his veterinary care, to medications. I was told by the corporate office we would be reimbursed and to submit the invoices. We did and the general manager implied as if the vet visits were not related. To date we have not been reimbursed or heard back from anyone. This place clearly does not care about our fur baby and all the trauma he has suffered and still suffering, not to even mention the emotional distress we are experiencing with this situation. Our fur baby was healthy and happy, ready to play and meet new friends. This is so devastating.

    Ask the Community - K-9 Coach

    Do they accept dogs that have not been spayed/neutered?

    For normal camp and lodging activities, unaltered dogs must be eight months of age or younger. For grooming or training services such as private lessons, group classes or board and train, that requirement does not apply.

    Clearly a mixed bag with experiences here, but I would be remiss if I didn't detail out why we are…read morefans of Dogma! First, we have bringing our little dude here for about 8 months now and he absolutely loses his mind every time he walks in the door here. He genuinely seems to have a blast, and to date, we have experienced no injuries or things to concern us. Drop-Off - Fairly easy and straight forward, we bring him in, sign him in, they give him a house collar with his name on it and they take him on back. Pick-Up - Equally as easy, we sign him out, gather his belongings, pay for the day and head out the door. One reason why we chose Dogma over a few other places in the area was the space they had for Tucker to play in. They feature both indoor and outdoor spaces that are secure, safe, covered, clean and also under video surveillance. This means that we can check in on him throughout the day by going to their website and scoping the cameras. That was one big thing for us, we wanted to make sure to be able to see him to ensure he was actually enjoying himself, which he always seems to be doing here! The only draw back that we have experienced is Tucker comes home sometimes with heavy kennel odor, so he gets random baths after daycare at home more times than not. Pricing - They did recently go up on pricing, and while it is not the cheapest, it is still fairly priced at $24 for a full day and you can make that cheaper if you go with a package and pre-pay for so many visits. Additionally, Wednesday and Saturday's are discounted days at only $18 for a full day! Grooming - Another reason why we chose Dogma was the convenience of grooming they offer. We usually drop him off for daycare and schedule a bath later in the day for him - the services are fairly priced as well. Tucker LOVES when he gets a bath later in the day, because on occasion they let him hang out behind the counter with them so he doesn't go back out and ruin his freshness. This is something that I feel is really cool, as I appreciate that and as you can see from a pic of ours, Tucker does too! Service - I have never had an issue, everyone is always nice and helpful to us, and friendly and loving with Tucker. Overall, Dogma has been everything we need it to be for our little dude and will continue to be as long as we are in the Smyrna area!

Clear instructions with groomer in person a DAY prior to coming in and I shouldn't have ignored the judgement from the groomer herself (Gigi). Not only was the groom nothing I asked for, my poor child got an INFECTION from his groom. Multiple promises of people following up, of course, no one ever did. They refunded me for his groom as if that was the real issue. I would've preferred we waited until after he was seen by his doctor to speak of any monetary value. If you have to take your furbaby to the Vet you know it's well over $65 for them to be seen and treated, as I speak $250 later. Then the owner asks for the receipt from the vet, no problem. She Never spoke to me directly, asked if she could speak to his doctor as if the notes on the paperwork weren't from his doctor! As if I needed to lie! But sent them over as requested, sent pictures of the area too. Still. Nothing. It was like they wanted to be the absolute last reason for anything happening to my child. My poor baby was in pain for WEEKS. On medication for WEEKS. Couldn't sleep for WEEKS, and all I got from Dogma was the audacity. At then end of the day, Stay. Away. I wouldn't recommend this place to my biggest hater.

I found him through the Nextdoor app and relied on his stated experience and trustworthiness. When I returned after five days, my previously healthy, active four-year-old pit bull was unable to walk. I have since spent thousands of dollars on veterinary care, and my dog's quality of life has been permanently altered. To this day, I have not received a clear or consistent explanation. I was told my dog got out, was missing for several hours, and later was found. I was not aware he was even injured until after he was picked up by my brother the next day when my brother noticed he was hurt. Even if that account were accurate, he didn't take any accountability for the fact that my dog's back legs are paralyzed and a clear story hasn't been given. He claims he was standing outside while my dog was chewing the fence to escape but if that's the case why continue to let him chew it? Nothing is making sense and when I asked him about it he got defensive. All I wanted was answers. Three weeks later, my dog is still suffering. He lives in constant pain, cannot walk without assistance, and is largely confined to bed rest. When I contacted this man seeking clarity, I was met with anger and defensiveness rather than accountability or concern. This situation reflects a serious lack of transparency, judgment, and responsibility. I strongly warn others not to entrust this person with the care of their pet.

Bella is just a 4 month old puppy when we got her and you couldn't see her eyes so when we went to her 1st Groomer they terrified her! They didn't spend any time trying to know her and Bella didn't want anything to do with these people.. she started screaming like a baby and wouldn't let anyone touch her so we took her home and Googled for the best Groomers and that's how we found this 5 star company.. and trust me they are a PURRfect Place. I talked to Aleene over the phone and told her our experience with the last Groomer. Right from the beginning Aleene made us excited to see how much she cared about our concerns and assured us not to worry. So we made our 1st appointment with Aleene and when we showed up Bella went running to Aleene and jumped in her arms kissing her as if she known her. This shows me that our Bella can sense that she can be trusted here. After 4 hours of time spent with Bella, she was ready to be picked up! We couldn't believe how happy Bella was there and even more I didn't know Bella's eyes were brown and fluffy after she was groomed. Dolly did such a great job grooming Bella to make her look so beautiful after spa day, that we already lined up 2 more customers for Dolly. We are so happy to see that there are still very caring people on this earth you can trust!! Bella Boo and we say Thank you Aleene and Dolly!! We are so glad to have met you.
