    Shauna M.

    I am so glad I tired this place! They did a great job and were so sweet to my 8 year old Pomeranian! He gets nervous at new places and was shaking like a leaf when I was dropping him off. The woman, I didn't get her name but it seemed like she was the owner, told me to put him up on her counter and she pet him and gave him some treats until he calmed down and his tail started wagging. When I picked him up, he was happy as a clam and looking SO HANDSOME. (I know I'm biased, but I provided photographic proof - you be the judge ;)) I must admit, I went way too long in between grooming for him and his undercoat was HEAVY. She got it all cleaned out and he's light as a feather and fluffy and clean as anything now. Pomeranians can be tough to trim if you're not good with scissors, and clearly she knows what she's doing here. Super happy. Great spot! Highly recommend! Will be going back.

    Totally uneven and butchered shave job.

    I thought long and hard about not writing this review but I simply have to. I've taken my cat in twice and neither time have I been even remotely impressed. I thought she did a pretty bad job the first time but she did an even worse job yesterday. I only went a second time because I still don't really know where else to go for a cat groom. But I will never come here again. She charged me $65 for a 15 to 20 minute job, and all she did was shave him horribly unevenly and clip his nails. No bath. Look at how uneven and butchered his haircut is, especially around the neck. And it wasn't until later when I got home that I realized that she didn't even brush off the already cut off fur from around his hind quarters and tail, so when he got out of his carrier and shook, all of these chunks of fur went everywhere. I mean seriously? Is this how she wants to represent the quality of her work? She should be embarrassed.

    Active Paws

    The ongoing pandemic made contacting trainers/organizations and coordinating the initial meeting…read moretricky especially with the pet adoption boom. I admittedly got my hopes up when I saw Active Paws business given her numerous qualifications even in agility work and immediate availability to schedule a session immediately over the summer. Her rates started at $120/hour which seemed standard after also conferring with other personal dog trainer contacts. As you can tell by the low rating the stars did not align as a mutual fit. The website was easy to navigate and Cara the owner was very responsive. You can easily schedule an appointment on there for personalized training. Perhaps we didn't pick a neutral enough location now knowing what we know now (after finding on site in person group puppy classes) to set our pup up for success over the summer at 3.5 months old and 20 lbs. Unfortunately Cara came up to our back deck which may have been interpreted as an interloper encroaching on her territory so as a puppy with bad manners she barked incessantly. She threw some small pieces of mozzarella cheese that didn't interest the pup (we are realizing now she's not super food motivated). That "reactive" behavior was enough to confirm to Cara after a serious bite earlier in the week to "pass" on training our dog. We still got the folder with pamphlets, and branded pen and clicker as she quickly retreated. Maybe in retrospect we should have met up at a park instead of our property. Granted this was the reaction that our puppy has when uncertain in greeting most new people but once she sniffs them she calms down quickly once she sees that we are friendly with them. The damage was done. Cara immediately followed up through email with an apology and a couple links to other (more expensive) trainers, one of whose website wasn't even working. I flutily attempted to reach out but also received no response so those were dead ends too. As for the socialization aspect she recommended a place all the way down in Franklin, and the MSPCA Angell which was not operational or equipped to respond during the pandemic (over the summer). Of course this experience left me completely demoralized and slightly jaded. I sometimes see their branded vehicles parked at the Dog Ranch area and walkers taking dogs around there to go walking. Thankfully we were able to enroll her in puppy daycare and now start some group training classes I alluded to earlier at the beginning of this year for adolescent pups. Funny enough she's now one of the least reactive dogs in her classes.

    I was going insane trying to figure out how to train my puppy. After a week of no sleep and…read moreconstant stress and some tears, the *MOST WONDERFUL* dog trainer came by and showed me some skills and helped me figure stuff out. I feel like I'm working with my puppy now instead of fighting against him. Absolutely the best thing I've done since getting my wonderful puppy is contacting Active Paws. Cara, you saved my sanity. He's ALREADY doing so much better it's WILD honestly. Puppy photo included just because LOOKIT HIM. To be more specific: Cara made the core concepts behind training my dog very easy to understand, provided me with references for when I get stressed and forget, and left me feeling empowered to have a fantastic relationship with my dog.

I needed my American Bully puppy to be socialized, and Robin was MORE than happy to help. She also assured me that she had experience with the breed, and that she did not discriminate. When her and my Katana met, it was such a fun thing to watch as Katana showered her in kisses, and she gave her so much love back. Katana waits at the door every Mon-Thurs for Robin to come. She loves her group walks, and Robin does so well with her. Robin is very good at implementing any commands that we use at home, and/or are currently working on in her training. I appreciate her so much for her love and dedication to my beautiful girl! I love the updates, and the pictures. Robins Pet Squad is the way to go!

Robin recommended I have them do the one hour playgroup/walk because of their activity level. After the first week of a three day schedule, I increased them to four times a week. My dogs are so excited when the walkers get there, they leave my house with their tails wagging and come home the same way, only tired in addition to happy. The walkers have been very dependable and I feel very comfortable having them take my dogs out. Any questions I've ever had have been answered in a very timely fashion. After every walk I get feedback and pictures about how my boys behaved. I highly recommend Robin and her squad for your dog walking needs. You and your dog/dogs will be very happy with their excellent service.

Debbie has walked our dog since she was a puppy (she is now 2.5) and she is always excited to see what adventure Debbie is going to take her on that day. Debbie takes our dog to the park multiple times a week for socialization and stimulation/activity, in addition to routine walks and has done dinner visits if we are unable to make it home on time. If we are working on training, Debbie incorporates it into her time with our dog so that there is continuity in the messages she receives from her handlers. Debbie loves dogs and it shows in the attention and manner which she treats our dog. I have and will continue to recommend Debbie to any dog owner in the area.

I stressed and fretted over what they would do locked up all day with no potty breaks. That's why I was so relieved when I found Debbie! Debbie came with amazing references and my dogs love her. She comes over every day and takes my dogs on a thirty minute walk. Every day she leaves me a full report and I come home to happy and healthy dogs. She is also available at night and on the weekend, if need, and knowing I have someone in case of emergencies puts me at peace. Her prices are also very reasonable. If you're looking for a reliable dog walker, I highly recommend Debbie for your pups!
