They told us we would be the 3rd owners! We had known Tom from his being an Usher at the Cathedral for 30 plus years.. I knew both he and wife had shown their dogs at dog shows for years, but learned that they have a successful training business... I signed us up for his beginner class and can't tell you how great of an experience it was... Our dog became by far the best trained, most obedient dog we have ever had..Just an absolute joy to be around.. I strongly recommend Tom and Sherry to help you make the very best of your furry freind..

My dog scared people and their dogs because he wanted to meet and play with everyone and is 80 lbs of happiness and exuberance. Tom gave me and my dog higher standards to meet so I gained better control of him. He improved greatly and now it is easy for us to walk past people, including people with a dog. We can even make it past squirrels, rabbits and birds. The only negative was that Tom would often repeat advice, which was a bit boring. I would still recommend his class to a friend.

There aren't enough words for how AMAZING this facility is and has been for us!!! We welcomed a new…read morebaby in December. To prepare for this we brought our 3 dogs to be trained in November. When we got them back they went from completely untrained to trained in every way! Door manners, in the car, on the leash, and other basic commands, you name it! They were crazy about food and now they will sit in front of food and wait to eat it when they are told. It's amazing! We then brought them back for a tune up when our son was born. It was awesome knowing they were with people who knew them and loved them. Our dog Charlie ran and jumped in the lake immediately! Happy as can be. A huge shoutout to Derrick! When our son was born 4 weeks early he went out of his way to pick our dogs up when we were stuck at the hospital. He truly loves the dogs and cares about the families. You can tell this is his passion and it shows through his work! Lastly, Anthony has been fantastic to work with throughout too! Due to him and Derrick we will continue bringing our dogs back here when we need boarding knowing they are in the BEST hands. If you're looking for a great training facility with the best people, look no further. You found them!

I can't even express how glad I am that we found Dawn! Her training style and personality fit perfectly with ours. Dawn has a special gift and connection with dogs, our Bentley (8 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) absolutely loved her. Everything about her training made sense, from start to finish, as she explained (and re-explained, if necessary). She bonded with our Bentley, he came to respect what she was teaching and he was willing to please and obey when she was with him. Dawn gave us homework each week, with handouts as reminders, and did a recap at the beginning of the following week. After training hours, she even sent us a video of her demonstrating the process with her own dog once when we couldn't quite get a certain technique. We didn't always do our homework 100%, but Dawn was able to move forward and teach Bentley the next lessons. We have a lot to learn still and it is a daily learning process for both dog and owner, but are thrilled that we met Dawn. I am already considering bringing her back for a recap and tweaking in a few months. I highly recommend Dawn and Coast Dogs, no reservations whatsoever. You will not be disappointed and you will get results.

Yay!! Whew!! We are so so careful with our much beloved pets from vets, groomers and especially diet. Bark of the Town truly " KNOW" how to cut and care for a dog on all levels. His neck and body received a " velvet" cut of 1/2 inch which they did with perfect evenness body wide- - rare to find. The guiding photo for the grow out was difficult to execute, but they did an excellent job. A 3-4 week photo of this cut will be provided soon below. All the vital services -- extruding of glands, teeth brushing, along with meticulous even excellent trimming top/ bottom are also done carefully. I am new to Florida, as a full-time-reverse snow bird, and was shocked to find SO many dog groomers who lacked training in styling a cut with good proportions and evenness. The receptionist ( maybe owner?) exuded the familiar long experienced aura of a well run grooming pet salon and I felt immediately at peace. But HOW our pet looks is extremely important, We look forward to them being as beautiful as is possible as we love and hug them. I shall remain with Bark of the Town a long time, and am glad I spent hours hunting, researching Yelp reviews and examining carefully all the photos. Photos say a LOT. Enjoy!
