I have a very anxious 6 mon old Laggoto Romagnolo and I asked them to help reinforce good manners as my pup and I work with a trainer to get these mastered. Dog Socialization is critical for him. He had a broken leg at 10 weeks old and could not walk or put weight on it for 9 weeks and so his start was a little unconventional in socialization. I know he gets his fair share of play and what puppy doesn't like play? Since I did travel for work a great deal and as Covid subsides, my travel will start to come back. My pup has stayed overnight and I feel super confident as a worried Mom that he is well taken care of during his stay.

Today was the second time that our golden came home with a gash on his face. This time it's bad…read moreenough that I'm sitting in the lobby of an emergency vet to get him cleaned up and stitches up. In both instances our dog was injured because a staff member ignored him while he was in their kennel. He heard me at the door and got excited. Like all dogs. But instead of trying to get him calmed down or out of the kennel all together. Instead he's now getting about a dozen stitches. The owner wasn't there at the time. She called and told me that they should have him come in any more. IN OTHER WORDS...ITS THE DOGS FAULT! Are you kidding me. DO NOT bring your pet to Train My Dogs! Period RESPONSE TO OWNER WOW! So if I understand what you're trying to say, this is our fault for continuing to bring him there. If he did pass your "test" you should have said so day one. Don't try and excuse your mistakes by saying you took Walle in in spite of risks. That's not only one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, but it clearly shows you wont claim ANY RESPONSIBILITY for the fact that your staff knew of the risk and ignored it. Stop trying to make yourself feel better at our expense.

We went through the site visit/interview, our Golden Retriever passed his trial day at school, and…read morenow he has attended school/day care/play time about 3 or 4 times. He loves going. They have four different modules that the pets cycle through--school, outdoor playtime, pool/water fun, and naptime. They pair dogs by personality/temperament and size. The people who work at this business actually REALLY do love dogs. They understand them, they like them, they treat them like individuals by helping them where they're at and what they need to work on. We have been super impressed with this place. I love the fact that we get dog obedience with dog play time all in the same day. Our puppy comes home super happy and exhausted! We've tried most of the dog day care locations in and around the downtown Austin area and we are most happy with this place. They are super accommodating for their clients, they have really well-trained staff and they really do what they say they're going to do with your dog.

Our boy Mo aka Molty aka Moshi has been coming to Walk ATX since 2022. As many of you, our doggo is…read moreour family and we want only the best of the best for him. It is difficult to find a doggy boarding/day care that provides such well rounded, holistic approach to pet care. We have used Walk ATX for boarding, day camp with pick up and drop off included, and for in home check ins with walks. As well as their add-ons like baths and fun photoshoots. Mo is a party animal - we are constantly training, working with him and we fill all of his needs. Yet he is an energetic, happy 2.5yo rescue from Austin Pets Alive. He is a foster win actually. He's always soooo excited when he realizes he's about to get dropped off at Walk ATX and he's welcomed with big smiles and a huge "Hi Mo!!!!!" by the passionate and hard working staff. Walk ATX does pack walks, outdoor playtime in their yard with staff assigned to different groups of dogs. I love that there's constant supervision and a structured day. Including rest/down time, which is just as important as to not overstimulate the doggos. It seems as if Walk ATX has only gotten better over the years. They've incorporated training, special add-ons, and cool adventures. Last time Mo stayed with them while we were in Costa Rica, Britton and the team were super attentive (Mo was on limited activity for the first few days per our vet), and even called to give an update, in addition to their daily updates via email and on their app "Time to Pet". I know Mo is cared for and looked after by a group of caring animal lovers.

Like others I live off of reviews so giving you guys the raw version for all my over protective pet…read moreparents like myself. This review is only based off of my experience/ first impressions and this business may work amazingly for your dog! Once I found Walk ATX it took me a while to get in contact with someone, called a couple times, left a voicemail, sent a couple emails -to no avail! Sent a dm on insta as a last resort and finally got in contact with someone! Yay! Erika helped me set up my account and went over daycare. Dropped my pup off for his first day! First impressions matter to me and as someone who is nervous I would have loved to see them greet my dog. Instead the woman at the front ( not sure her name - mullet - immediately went into a quick " take off the leash. What's his name? You'll get an update at 11" And then I watched her usher him straight to the backyard. No saying hi to the dog, no convo with me, no easing his nerves, no questions about him, no petting him, no introductions, nothing. I didn't love that, especially since it was our first time and it made me much more nervous to drop him off there. Around 11:00 I started to look for updates, none. Tried to call 3 times, no answer. Again this is his first day so not hearing anything on how he was doing and getting no photos - nerves then rose to an all time high. People are allowed to have bad days so will update this after a few more times. Just know the first day is not as informative or warm may not be as warm as you'd expect.

This review is for grooming. I hope this place has security cameras in their grooming department…read morebecause I suspect the groomer abused my dog. I had a first time appointment this morning for an express groom, and handed my dog off to the groomer. Minutes after he took my pup and closed the door, I could hear my dog screaming in pain - two shrieks. I know the difference between anxious barking/whining and cries when a dog is hurt. My dog cried in pain. He is an anxious dog with separation anxiety, yes, but the only time I've heard him make the noise he did was when another dog bit him and when a neighbor accidentally stepped on his foot. I've also fostered hundreds of dogs, so can tell the difference. My gut/instincts told me to just cancel on the spot and take my dog home, so I told the front desk to charge me whatever is needed and we go without the groom. My dog is 3 years old and has been groomed every 3 months for his entire life. Grooming is not new for him, plus I gave him trazodone 1.5 hours prior. I wish I could've liked this place because it's so close to home but it's not worth it when the groomer is inexperienced and abusing the dogs. I spent less than 20 minutes there but my gut instinct told me that this is not a safe or experienced place to hand off your dogs. Do NOT go here

If you're looking for a reputable dog walker, steer clear of The Smiling Dog! During my first…read moremeeting with Sara, she seemed to bond immediately with our puppy and assured us how devoted she would be. We discussed expectations and I thought everything would go smoothly. The first red flag was her lack of communication. Seeing as we have a puppy, we wanted to know how each visit went, specifically whether he peed/pooped. Once we gently reminded her, she began leaving notes that would occasionally be helpful, but mostly just noted how the weather was, how cute he was, how fast he's growing etc. Not exactly what we were interested in. The first MAJOR problem was when we had a friend at the house who let us know Sara arrived nearly an hour late, and only had him out for 25 minutes when we were paying her for an HOUR. Given the fact we have a puppy, timing is very important to us since he can't hold it for that long. She never notified us of a delay or the short visit, and wouldn't have refunded us if our friend hadn't been home to report the problem. Even worse, I texted her at 3:15p to ensure everything was going smoothly, to which she replied yes. Only to find out later she hadn't even arrived until 3:50p. NOT OK. After discussing these issues and spelling out what is ok, and what is not ok (blows my mind we even needed to do this) we gave her the benefit of the doubt and continued to work with her since she seemed eager to make things right. Less than a week later, my boyfriend was home sleeping, unbeknownst to Sara. She had left the note about how the walk went PRIOR to even taking him outside, and not locked the door on her way out. He then witnessed her take our puppy into the sandwich shop below our building for 15 minutes and then bring him back to the apartment. This is horrible treatment for any dog, but especially a puppy we are trying to potty train! If she does not walk him outside, she's just reinforcing that he go to the bathroom inside. So terrible! When we confronted her, she said "my schedule is dictated by customer requests and schedule changes." She went onto explain that when she has cancellations, she can walk him for longer, but if she gets additional last minute bookings, his walks get cut short. WHAT?! In what world do last minute requests trump prior bookings? THAT IS NOT WHAT WE AGREED ON BY ANY MEANS. Our puppy should be getting DAILY walks from 3-4p. If her schedule is slow and she can have him out longer, great. However, that does not mean that she can cut into our reserved time to make some more cash. ABSOLUTELY NOT. I will NEVER work with The Smiling Dog again or recommend them to any dog owners.
