My two Bernedoodles were groomed by this company, and both of them sustained injuries during the…read moreappointment. My male dog suffered severe cuts in his private area, between his legs, on his belly, and even on his ankle. My female dog was also cut between her legs and ended up with infections in both ears due to the groomer, Crystal. She tried to blame these injuries on "matting" and refused to take responsibility, even going so far as to suggest that my male dog somehow caused these wounds himself. Immediately after the grooming, cones were placed on both dogs. Crystal herself acknowledged the cuts while she was still working on my male dog, but I didn't realize how extensive the injuries were until I examined him thoroughly after she left. While my female dog's injuries were less severe she caused an infection in both ears by plucking her ears with who knows what infected and dirty instrument after I explicitly told her not to! My male dog's wounds were far beyond anything that should ever happen during a grooming session. What makes her explanation even more unbelievable is that the worst matting was on his chest, yet there are no cuts there. Because of this negligence, we had to rush both dogs to the vet, resulting in unexpected medical bills for treatment and medication. Both dogs were forced to wear cones for an unknown amount of time until they heal, causing them unnecessary discomfort. The vet was shocked by the injuries and agreed that what happened was completely unacceptable. I trusted this business to care for my dogs, and instead they were harmed. To make matters worse, Crystal denied responsibility and gave misleading explanations. This isn't the first time I've had concerns. On a previous visit, another groomer from this same business cut my dog's paws. I reported it to Crystal (she claimed he was a rookie groomer) trusting she would be more careful moving forward. Instead, she caused even more serious injuries this time. For the high prices they charge, I expected professional, competent care. I chose this grooming service because of their glowing reviews, but my experience has been the complete opposite. The owner, Mike Bass, didn't even have the decency to return my calls after the incident. Instead, he chose to block my number. I should have trusted my instincts after hearing how rude and unpleasant he sounded when I first booked an appointment over a year ago. And to be clear, I'm not a one‑time customer. I've been using their services since August 2024. He even fabricated claims that I had gone through four groomers before his company and that I complained about all of them. That is simply untrue. My dogs are only two years old, and they had one groomer before Pup Scouts Annapolis. This business takes responsibility for absolutely nothing. They immediately sided with the groomer, who lied about the situation, rather than acknowledging the harm done. Their pattern is clear: deny, dismiss, and defend their staff no matter what. I even had to repeatedly text Crystal just to get an appointment after the government shutdown affected our schedule. If she no longer wanted to groom my dogs for whatever reason, especially since she lives far from us, she could have simply said so instead of harming the dogs to avoid future appointments. Future and current customers deserve to know that this business refuses to accept accountability and prioritizes protecting their groomers over the well‑being of the animals in their care. What Pup Scouts Annapolis calls "transparency" is nothing more than shifting blame onto pet owners and past groomers.

I love both locations! When Star goes to daycare, she absolutely loves it. I love getting the report cards at the end of the day that documents her actions. Bethany is our pup's trainer who we've worked with at this location as well at our home. She's helped us with basic commands as well as confidence in leash walking in the neighborhood. Star gets distracted when walking. We have lots of dogs in our neighborhood. We really love Bethany's guidance. Star has also been to the Annapolis location for boarding- week and also for a weekend. Both times she's done well. Overall, we will continue to use both locations as we are very happy with them!

**Exceptional Training Experience with Valor Canine Services**…read more We can't thank Scott and the team at Valor Canine Services enough for the incredible work they've done with our dog, Hank. Before working with Scott, we honestly didn't know if we could handle Hank on our own. The difference after training is night and day--he's now the dog we always knew he could be. Scott's dedication went above and beyond. He kept us updated almost daily with videos and progress reports, making us feel included every step of the way. We know Hank wasn't easy, but Scott worked patiently with him and showed tremendous commitment to Hank's success. Thank you to the entire Valor Canine team, especially Scott, for your hard work, and for continuing to check in and answer all of our questions. We're so grateful to have a well-behaved, happy dog thanks to you!

Valor Canine Service was an absolutely wonderful experience for me and my furry companion. I must…read moresay, the experience exceeded all expectations. Valor Canine Service is not just a dog training business; they are a true maestro of canine behavior and obedience. From the moment my dog began his training sessions, I was kept informed of my dog's progress daily and it was evident that not only did Valor Canine Service possessed a deep understanding of dogs, but also has a profound love and passion for what they do. Their approach was not merely about teaching commands but about fostering a harmonious relationship between owner and dog. This holistic approach is what sets Valor Canine Service apart for me and, from others in the field. I still implement the follow-up behavior and obedience strategies I was given. I will definitely use this service again and would highly recommend them to anyone. Valor Canine Service thank you! HM

We loved our trainer - and I am so sorry I cannot remember her name (she had Yellow hair!). But she was amazing, respectful, and patient with everyone and the dog parents. LOL She was very skittish in the beginning but with confidence and learning and homework we did a lot of great strides to making her feel more comfortable with us training her and being at home. She still will love checking out squirrels but we have been taught on what to do when that happens. We appreciate all you all do, and look forward to checking out more of their classes.

I seriously thought I was stuck with this defective dog! I own Grooming By Em and am constantly busy making doggies and kitties look their best. I just didn't have the time to leave my shop, drive to a dog training facility with my badness of a dog, worry about my Cricket getting car sick, train for an hour and then have to get back to work. Jo made it so simple, she came to me. Our first training session went well. Cricket is very smart and responded greatly to the clicker training (she loves cheese). It felt that at the end of every class she had showed tremendous improvement. Aside from basic commands, Jo worked with Cricket on her severe shyness/fear of people. Although my furry baby loooooooved dogs, she was not cool with humans, including me. In fact, Cricket showed no love or affection towards me and I had never had this issue with a pet before. Cricket is now 9 months old. While she is still a brat, she is a completely different dog. I enjoy her company, she listens to me and most of all she LOVES me. I'm not really sure what I would have done if Jo had not been my night and shining armor. Clicker Savvy Canines is the best and the training was worth every penny!

My dog is very old for her breed and her skin has been deteriorating for some time and this vet was only interested in me buying treatment for symptoms like itch and not the underlying chronic condition. Also all the meds and treatments are very expensive, if you ask for prescription for alternative brand medications, they will not help you and you have to research on your own. Altogether very unhappy with service, stay away.
