My young dog and I have taken three courses with Laura at Taproot. Not only is she an engaging and…read moreknowledgeable instructor, Laura truly cares about the people and their dogs in her classes. The training center is always spotless, with no dog smell or grime anywhere. Laura is fully prepared to teach each class, building on previous knowledge and scaffolding skills to effectively train more complex commands. She also adapts her teaching to accommodate those with physical limitations. The classes are kept small so neither the dogs nor their people become overwhelmed. Laura ensures she spends time with each dog and gives excellent feedback. I cannot recommend Laura's classes and training more. Throughout each course, my bond with my dog grew, and our relationship is now one I've always dreamed of having.

It is ridiculous that I can not sit with my dog while he gets his hair cut at this place anymore…read more I've sat through my dogs haircuts many times at this company and now the owner is trying to say that it is a liability. To sit and watch my dog is a liability? My dog is a support animal and is with me pretty much 24/7. Why would I dump my dog off at this overpriced dirty place and leave him? I thought that this place cared about animals? What a shame!

Reviewing this for when I went in as an event organizer to get a donation:…read more They are incredibly accommodating to non-profits. I run a group who did a raffle and they donated a very generous basket that was a HIT. The employees were kind and I enjoyed chatting with them while I browsed. I ended up buying a salmon treat for my dog. The variety of their store was awesome. Similar to others in the area, but loved to find my dog's favorites. We got a salmon skin roll which she devoured in a minute tops. Apart from this, I've heard great things about their grooming. My best friend uses them for grooming and her poms love it. A great little shop and close to home. You can't beat it!

For daycare, my puppy and I are welcomed with a big smile and a big hello to us both. When he is picked up, the staff tells us who he played with and how he did. They even are helping us train him to get comfortable in a kennel. During his boarding stay the staff went above and beyond to say the least. They gave him extra love when he would get nervous- they even put him in a thunder jacket to calm his worries. Amazing. We are so thankful. They took Christmas photos of him after a complementary bath which were adorable! They communicated so well (and fast) so that we were at ease being far away. I recommend Prairie Pawz to everyone and will continue to do so! Thanks Prairie Pawz for taking such good care of my baby!
