My healthy & happy 7yr old Cairn Terrier was (partially) hand stripped by Sara. Sara suggested that I come back a second time for a follow up stripping since it can be very stressful for the dog to do an entire coat in one session. I agreed and scheduled a follow up hand stripping session in a week from that date. A few days after the session with Sara I realized that my dog was suffering from a condition called Candida (no fault of Posh Paws) which is a yeast build up in the gut that causes the microbiome to be disrupted. One of the symptoms is flaky/yeasty skin and hair loss. I politely emailed Sara that I would need to postpone the next hand stripping session for a month and/or until I was able to knock the Candida out of his system. Fast forward to a little more than a month later when my dog was 100% back to his usual healthy self... and Sara emailed me the following... "Knowing what I have learned about the condition since your last visit I have reservations about grooming him again. If he were my dog I would avoid stripping and just clipper his coat. I would also recommend finding a groomer at a vet clinic that you trust so his issues can be addressed promptly. I wish you the best of luck finding a good fit for Hamish and his grooming needs." This is absolute nonsense! He's 100% healthy and needn't be in any veterinary care whatsoever. Anyone who knows anything about Cairn Terriers' coats knows that clipping the coat is NOT the correct way to groom the breed. Hand stripping is the proper grooming technique and also much healthier for the dog's overall health and well being. It appears that Sara just doesn't want to work with my animal because she's paranoid about liability. Why? Does she have a reason to be afraid? Makes zero sense whatsoever. At no point did I even remotely suggest that my dog's condition was caused and/or exacerbated by her grooming in April. I'm baffled that a supposed "show dog groomer" would schedule a follow up session and then send the aforementioned gibberish email. Posh Paws charged $120.00 for a partial hand stripping. Not overly expensive but when you factor in all Sara's odd rules, regulations and strange requests i.e. "Don't park on the street, park in my driveway... Don't call us during business hours, Call after 8:30PM! If we don't get back to you it's because we're extremely busy and/or out of town and on the road with show dogs" etc... etc... It's not worth my valuable time and effort to jump through all those strange hoops. I have an amazing groomer in New York City who is far more professional and forthright. I'll be heading back there soon for work and will be sure to get the job done right the first time instead of playing silly games with this unprofessional "Home Based Groomer". BUYER BEWARE: Since this IS a home business, it is sorely lacking parking, proper doggy day care and/or crates for when the animal is waiting it's turn and then finished being groomed. The grooming area is literally the size of ONE HALF OF A ONE CAR GARAGE!

During the holidays, when its so hard to get a grooming appt, I called them an was glad to hear they could come out much sooner than taking the dogs to our usual groomer. I canceled that appt and told MC that I canceled our standing appt to try them! The day they are to arrive, they never show. I called and called, no answer. Then finally a text, she's lost, then 30 more min, she's run out of gas? And hour later, she's got a flat tire?! Seriously? I was furious. We finally rescheduled for later that week, I had to reschedule, but before I did I asked if we could for sure still get IN that week and she said YES. Never heard from them again. Bottom line: if you live in Central Austin they are probably fine. However, they advertised in the local Dripping Springs paper that they NOW service our area. They DON'T. They don't know the area. We live in a GATED subdivision with nicely paved streets and she never asked me when setting up the appt where we were or whether or not we were on a dirt road, but She then used that as her excuse later. If you live out here there are much better more professional groomers. Hill Country Pet Resort and Just Four Paws. Don't get left hanging with dirty ungroomed dogs at the last minute. You cannot count on Muttley Crew.

Do NOT come here for grooming. And, if you do, avoid Wxxxxxx. (Name intentionally redacted.)…read more------- I didn't want to write this review. I didn't want to write this review because Rosemary was so kind by taking my dog in for a next-day grooming appointment. It was clear she was happy to welcome a new customer, and I was grateful and in need. But the problem is Wxxxxxx. I'm angry at myself because I KNEW, two seconds after meeting the groomer -- with the I-just-got-out-of-bed hair, and horrible bedside manner -- I KNEW this groomer wasn't going to do a good job. Wxxxxxx had ZERO pleasantness about him when we met. No cordial greeting. No "Hi, little doggie!" He was like an emotionless teen flipping burgers unwillingly at a fast-food joint. As soon as I walked in the door, he grabbed my dog's leash like it was the next thing on the assembly line; I felt like he was just performing a task, not caring about giving a good experience. I tried to strike up a conversation and dive into expectations. He seemed like he could not care less. He had a vibe of "I know what to do, and I'm gonna do it like I do it." (Me: Don't you want to TALK to me to learn more about this picture of how I want her cut? No? I guess you know my type of dog, huh?) But, I internally scolded myself for judging a book by it's cover. I talked myself out of my gut feelings, knowing that pre-judging people is wrong. When I got my dog back, I realized I should have listened to my instincts. That man has no business doing anything with a dog other than petting them. (Because he clearly has not mastered the art of grooming to where he should be paid for it.) My poor sheepadoodle was returned severely uneven and misshapen. I've never groomed a dog before, but I'm willing to wager that on my first try I could have fared better. There were huge CHUNKS of uneven fur cut down to the skin (see rear leg pics and,) and other areas where it's clear that the groomer did not know how to cut evenly. (Look at the jawline and neck pics.) And, although I paid for a full groom, it didn't appear that they cut any hair from the ears, paws, or underbelly at ALL. Not only was I paying for a horrible cut, I was paying for an INCOMPLETE job. (Note that they make you pay before they bring your dog out, so you don't see the final result until after you pay.) When I was given a chance to inspect the cut, I restrained myelf, partly because both Wxxxxxx and Rosemary were presenting my dog to me and bracing for me to explode, and partly because I didn't want to cause a scene in front of Wxxxxxx. (What if Wxxxxxx has special needs or this was his first day and this represented his best work?) I initially opted to just let it go, and left. I was wrong for that. But as I was driving home, (and after my wife saw the huge chunks of exposed skin and uneven hairline,) I had to call back and ask Rosemary for a redo. To their credit, they gladly took my dog back and schedule me with a different groomer the next day. I brought my dog back the next day and a different groomer tried to fix the mess Wxxxxxx made. The day after THAT, I noticed the scars from blade scrapes on my dogs belly. (see pics.) That's when I realized I wouldn't return to Dirty Dog. I didn't want to write this review. Dirty Dog is a local business, and I prefer to support local businesses, especially those who seem to have kind owner/operators (like Rosemary) who are trying to be involved in their community and serve others through their work. And, I suppose I should have known better than to seek grooming at a place that is primarily known for offering self-washing services. Lesson learned on my part. But it's important that Dirty Dog knows (and comes to terms with the reality) that Wxxxxxx is not only bad for business, he is dangerously close to causing injury to an animal. I'm sure he's a good person overall, and probably does lots of things well -- But grooming dogs is not one of them. Dirty Dog would be well-served to find another way he can serve without being near animals with sharp objects.
