We cannot say enough about the wonderful job that Anna did on our American Eskimo…read more He came back from a groomer at a different business and he looked terrible. He had some knots in his fur so rather than work through the tangles, they shaved his lower body, which should never happen to this breed. His remaining fur was chopped and they shaved down to almost bare skin on his neck. They charged a lot more money & didn't care what we thought. Anna worked on him a long time and made him look GREAT! Considering how he looked when before, Anna deserves a lot of credit for shaping him perfectly. He looks beautiful again. When your dog needs grooming, take them to a professional that cares about your pet. I would highly recommend Animal House Pet Styling to anyone.

First time as I am new in the neighborhood, I have a 6 pound Pomeranian with a requested boo cut as…read morehe is 9 years old and I had the boo cut ever since his first cut at approximately eight months old. There was a $15 up charge for matting to which the groomer Elizabeth would not share where the matting was. He was combed out the night prior, so I do not understand this. His round face was only round on one side and straight up and down on the other side, had to put him back on the grooming table to miss several spots on all four legs and underbelly. The dog was not blown out, and unfortunately, my black work shirt was covered in hair upon leaving the store. Customer beware of up charges as they are not mentioned upfront, poor quality, grooming, practices.

Stopped by earlier today after seeing a post online about $10 nail trims, our dogs were due for…read morejust that plus the price is great! The location is great with plenty of parking. The store itself was smaller but clean and had lots of product! First thing I noticed was it was a little chaotic, understandable for a nail trim special event, although no staff ever called out where to check in and where to check out or where to get in line for the trims. There was one groomer who was very very sweet, even stepping out of the grooming room to trim nails for a shy dog while their owner held them, they must be a regular because I overheard the owner say "see you next month again". Our little Bruce went in first and I anticipated screaming but he was really screaming. Thank goodness for the windows into the grooming room because I saw him thrashing around and immediately went over asked to step in after hearing the groomer (different one than mentioned prior) raising her voice pretty loud at my dog a few times and saying things like "stop it", "that's enough", etc. I also saw her put some powder on his toenail but she never mentioned during or after the trim if she trimmed to short or what. Once I was holding him, it went much smoother but I didn't her tone of voice with him or the limited info on the powder. My other big, shy dog was hesitant to go in but I was able to encourage him in and he did fine. He actually seemed to be doing pretty good at first, I had asked for the filing on his if he tolerated it. Although when I had stepped in to hold our small dog, Bart (our big dog) FELL OFF THE TABLE, hanging briefly by the neck holder thing! The girl doing Bruce ran over to help lift him up and he was just fine but startled. Both of their nails are pretty good, 8.5/10. I do understand the chaos of this event and a full room or barking, whining dogs. I can imagine it's not the groomers favorite day or event. I understand some level of annoyance but also expect good service at the same time. It was not bad at all, it was alright and we were able to grab a couple bones on the way out which the boys will enjoy. Not 100% sure we will come back for the nail trim as we can do it at home but need to hold them like babies and it's not ideal but we will see. This might be better for those doggies who don't really mind nail trims and you're not confident in doing them yourself.

I have lived in the Twin Cities since the early 1970s and have owned horses since then. Depending…read moreon where I was boarding, I often used the services of Stillwater Equine. In 2012 my mare was exhibiting some odd behavior in the pasture so I contacted Stillwater Equine. Toby Sheely ended up coming out a few times to run some tests. Toby is great. He's knowledgeable and personable. I ended up having to bring my mare to the clinic for a day or two for more frequent testing. It was determined that she had a tumor on her ovary and although this particular tumor was usually benign, the ovary needed to be removed as the tumor was causing an imbalance in her hormones and that resulted in undesirable behavior. In Fall 2012 my mare was dropped off on a Sunday at the clinic for surgery the following a.m. Dr. Arnesen was the surgeon. I expected that once the surgery was done that someone--most likely the doctor--would call me to let me know how she was doing. When 4:00 p.m. came without a call from the clinic, I phoned. I was told that Dr. Arnesen wasn't available but a message would be passed to him. Dr. Arnesen called me--I think it was that afternoon. Based on his tone of voice and the manner in which he talked to me, it was very apparent that he was annoyed that I was "bothering" him. Dr. Arnesen didn't seem to understand why I needed a status update! Really??!! My horse just had MAJOR surgery to the tune of about $1200-$1400 and he couldn't be BOTHERED to even let me know if she was dead or alive??!!! Maybe he's a very good doctor when it comes to the technical aspect of being a DVM but he has ZERO customer service skills.

I rescued her at about 1 1/2 years of age with virtually no training in her at all. I've actually got quite a lot of experience training this level of dog but I approach this with the attitude that I can always learn something new or the may be a better way of achieving results. Socializing my dog with other dogs as far as just being around each other is very important. We get this here. All of the trainers have been really knowledgeable and have helped me with dealing with my dog. They also let me progress at my own rate to achieve class goals and my goals. I'm not training for competition but " street wise". I want my dog to be able to handle things in day to day situations as she goes nearly everywhere I go. Classes are fast moving and there is very little "stand around time". And so it is an enjoyable time for us. We give 5 stars.

So when we recently got a Newfie puppy, we knew we wanted to enroll her in a kindergarten class. A lot of people in the area (we're in White Bear Lake) recommended Total Recall, and since it was a super easy drive up 61, we picked them. My biggest gripe with them is that there's no puppy playtime. In a PUPPY KINDERGARTEN class. It makes no sense! Every other person I've talked to about this level class were all also taken aback that Total Recall doesn't incorporate this into their class. Plus, the instructor we had was very standoffish and cold, to both humans and puppies. Very off-putting. Here's what a "puppy kindergarten" class consists of: 15 minutes of the instructor telling horror stories of past puppies and answering people's questions that have little to nothing to do with anyone else in the class, while puppies bark and squirm. Doing the same pointless exercise 3 times in a row - my favorite was when they set up a tiny "agility" course without any reason, only to plug another class they sell. Then dismissing early. We ended up skipping the last 2 of our 6 classes because it just felt like such a waste of time. TL;DR: find a different trainer.
