But she was in desperate need of a professional bath so we were on the look-out for a private groomer. Luckily, we ran into Ginia on an ice cream run once with Mia. Ginia was very nice and calm as her daughter wanted to pet Mia. We could easily tell that Ginia loves animals and knows how to treat them. We were ecstatic to hear that she was private dog groomer taking clients one at a time in her own home without cages. We immediately made an appointment and couldn't wait to bring Mia in. When we picked her up, we can tell by Mia's mood that she was very happy with her session. Ginia gave her a bandana and us a card with a lovely photo. Even two weeks after the appointment, Mia still smells and feels fresh. We definitely recommend Ginia for any pooch, especially senior canines that are prone to take naps and have dry skin.

She allowed plenty of time for Lilly to get comfortable and she gave her lots of one on one time. We will definitely be back! Her prices are less than other places I've researched and yet she provides a much more personal and friendly service. This is the only place around to bring your fur babies for a personal pampering. If you love your pets, you'll want to bring them here to be groomed.

The cuts are fabulous, (I have a wheaton terrier), and I can hear her talking to the pets as she cuts. My dog loves her and so do I. She will schedule a years visits up front if you would like. We also went to Gail for training when I got my first wheatie, and she was patient and kind. My dog ended up understanding the commands and could be counted on to obey even when off leash even in an open/public environment, (although I only allowed that when we went to the beach so he could run and have fun with the other dogs). I have recommended Gail to others and they love her almost as much as we do!!

I called the number numerous times and no answer. I find it to be very unprofessional not to notify me they needed to cancel my appointment. I delayed my trip because they only do nail trims between 1 and 2pm and it was all for nothing. Also the nail trims weren't even very good. My dogs nails were very long just a week after the trim. I suggest looking elsewhere if you're looking for a groomer.

If you're a DINKWAD (double income, no kids, and a dog) millennial, crazy dog parent like I am,…read morethis is the only review you need to read. As an overly protective (psychotic) dog parent, I really did a lot of homework before enrolling our (at the time) 5 month old Bernedoodle Cooper in day school. I read a lot of positive reviews and few that were concerning to me. I requested a call with one of the owners to give them a chance to speak to the negative reviews before I made a decision. Hannalore answered all of my questions (primarily regarding "disliking doodles" and use of tools) and I felt very comfortable with her responses. Following that conversation we enrolled Cooper in day school and immediately saw improvement in his attention span, ability to understand commands, and leash manners. The staff was always super friendly, sent report cards with photos and videos, and always offered me advice and info on what he worked on. I was (and still am) over the moon with how much my little guy enjoys his time there. To be fully transparent, like any good relationship, we did hit a snag. A tool was used on Cooper that I did not consent to and like the Papa Bear I am, I was furious. I requested to speak with the owner who used the tool (Corey), and I expressed my displeasure. Now, I'm not an experienced dog trainer, so I don't think I know more than these amazing professionals, I do however believe in consent. When I spoke with Corey, I told him that a tool should never be used on a dog without consent from the owner and if Cooper was to come back, I would need to see a change in their policy to ensure that consent would ALWAYS be given before a tool was used. Corey completely understood and (as a small business) was open to suggestions for improvement - no excuses, no backpedaling, and full accountability. With that response, and the implementation of consent for tools, I was completely satisfied sending Cooper back to day school. It's now been over a month since that snag and I can confidently say I am beyond thrilled with how this was handled and the care and training my Coop is receiving at BFTD. Mistakes happen, but the fact that this amazing place was honest and open to a change in their policies is something that really sets BFTD apart from other places. I can 100% say if you're crazy like me, stop your search - you've found the place for your pup. All of the staff are amazing, but I would like to give a special shout-out to Becka and Thaloa who go above and beyond the call of duty and send me videos and VERY detailed report cards so I can continue the work at home. I can officially say my 7 month old pup is better behaved, knows more commands, and has better social skills than most dogs twice his age. I'm writing this review because finding a place to trust with your fur baby is scary, and you never know what you're going to get. But BFTD has done an amazing job with Cooper and I hope my experiences make you feel comfortable with them being a part of your fur baby's life too!

We especially love Cathy and Meg who are our fairly regular walkers.

Cathy actually came over to bring them specially made ice toys on her day off during the summer... just because. How awesome is that? My pups love her. One of the things that I love most about Muddy Paws is that they are also keeping up on technology. Their new scheduling tool is a breeze to use, and I can pay online with a credit card now, which is so much easier than writing a check! They also have a new feature that sends you a link to an online journal about your visit. So cool. We were at a wedding the other day and were able to get an udpate on our pups while we were out and about. Thanks to Jena and her team for being so reliable. We are Muddy paws fans!

The grooming itself always looks great, and that's the only reason we've kept coming back. Unfortunately, the service and communication have become too difficult to overlook.

We completely understand that grooming a 70-pound doodle is a big job, but having a 10am appointment that isn't finished until 8pm with one update coming 8 hours later or even an apology for the delay just isn't reasonable.
