I GOT MY SERVICE DOG HERE AND HE SAVES MY LIFE. My boy, Damian, is a Tourette's and PTSD service…read moredog. While Marj is strict, she cares for the dogs. A lot. Actually, I was hesitant to pursue Glad Wags but I did some research, talked to Marj and decided to continue. I say Marj cares about the dogs because she does. I wish people could go on the service dog field trips and see us as a group in action. My dog is an Aussie and he can kind of smile when he wags his little Aussie tail. He gets so excited to see everyone at Glad Wags. Positive: -MARJ TEACHES US HOW TO LITERALLY MASSAGE OUR DOGS! That's pretty cool. Damian gets a massage twice a day. I wish I were him, sometimes! -The field trips are fun and its nice to see everyone working with their service dogs -Marj will genuinely train your dog. -It was a great experience for Damian. She chose a perfect dog that a. Loves to help b. Can detect and react to psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, tic attacks, interrupt self harming behaviors, and get me out of dissociations and flashbacks c. I have a very loving and trusting companion for life. -I have severe PTSD and Tourette's. Marj knows that and like with all disabilties is incredibly concious of it and helped me tremendously Negative: -If you get a GW dog, people will bring up the past A LOT. Big changes have happened with Glad Wags -You will have to wait for a dog and then training and then train in person with the dog, which can take months. That is NOTHING compared to the YEARS and wait lists everyone else had Overall, Marj changed my life. She is very, very good at working with disabilities. I can speak for no one else's experiences. Opinions are valid but my facts are that Marj trained a very happy dog and that single dog has stopped me from suicide attempts, seizures, panic attacks, self harm, and flashbacks all by himself thanks to Marj's training.

In classes she sprayed listerine in dog's faces or at least that is what she said was in the bottle. Said it does not hurt them but it has alcohol in it and she sprayed them right in the face. As I said my experience was almost 12 years ago but I hear from other trainers she is still training and still not treating dogs right. For what all I paid and she took him for several weeks. He learned 1 command well.

Tragic. I would give a negative star if I could. Took my dog…read moreto them for more than a year, no problem. Then, after a routine 6-week grooming, I picked him up. I notice he had a small tuft of hair on his tail that looked odd, but I just figured he had nipped at an itch. I was not told of anything happening during his session and even called, once I notice it was bothering him, to see if maybe a new shampoo had been used that was causing irritation or other dogs were having reactions to something. I was assured nothing different had occurred during his grooming. I was never expecting what came next. Two days later his tail had become super irritated and was losing fur due to his chewing on it. A couple of more days of his not responding to anti-itch meds and a cone, and I went to my vet. She discovered his tail had a 'guillotine' cut at his base, where the tuft had been, and the blood vessels were severed, like something heavy had dropped/shut on it. His tail was dying. After daily treatment, meds, and artificial skin attempts he literally ate his tail. $1500 later and major trauma to my pet and my family, he is recovering now with a bobbed tail. Throughout this entire devastating experience, the groomers never admitted to the chance that something happened during the grooming and at one point suggested I might have shut his tail in my vehicle's door! Really?!! All I know is that he went in as usual: beautiful, happy, and healthy. He came out with a dying tail.

After getting to the car, I noticed blood on the seat and that he was licking his paw and unusually quiet. I took him back inside immediately, and they applied powder and said they "probably cut the quick." Accidents can happen, but what was upsetting was that this was not disclosed at pickup. There was a significant amount of blood, and I had to discover it myself after leaving. Transparency is important when it comes to our pets. Additionally, we were not happy with the haircut, as it appeared uneven and not what we expected. We hope they improve communication with pet owners in the future.

They knew his behavior. They recommended Metro Mutts at 13th and Peoria. My dog is afraid of everything and his dog is very aggressive around new people. These people are fantastic. You would swear they had degrees in dog psychology. The facility has a dog play area with boarding not in crates, but in individual units where the dog has plenty of room to move around. They called with a report the day before we returned to reassure us that the dogs were doing well. My son's Scottie loved playing with the big dogs and my dog was a little more standoffish, but she did go into the area. When my son bent down to pet my dog, she let him. For eight years she has growled when he came to visit me. Today she accepted his attention calmly. The Scottie follows one of the care givers around he was so attached.
