Well this is annoying. Booked grooming and day care and then was met at the door by Margaret with a long explanation of why they can’t take our dogs today and the ‘person I booked it with is no longer there’ and admonishing me because they‘tried to call me twice’. When you call them nobody picks up the freaking phone!! This place is bad chaotic and my corgi was nerved up. Bad vibes!!

I brought my rescue dog Shilo who is fearful of people and loud noises. Margaret was excellent during the evaluation meeting. Her experience was evident both in her questions and interaction with my dog, By the end of the meeting my dog was totally relaxed and interacting with Margaret. My goal is to provide the opportunity for my dog to gain confidence and trust to enjoy her best life. To see the change in a couple of months is terrific! She wants to go in with tail wagging. She is comfortable with all the staff. After appropriate introduction to other dogs, she enjoys pack walks and playtime. I am so pleased with her progress and would recommend Wag if you have a fearful dog.

I can not say enough about the no fear dog training program Something To Wag About offers. We have an 8 month old Australian Labradoodle who just completed an intense one month program. First of all the facilities are spotless. They include inside and outside training sessions. Second but most important are the trainers! Margaret and Giselle are professionals! Yet kind, friendly and so loving. My puppy would pull on her lease to get to the door and start her day. Each afternoon during pick up the ladies would let us know how she did that day and what to reenforce. The training included transfer sessions to teach us how to continue the training at home. Our doggie is our baby. The child we never had. So yes, we’re high maintenance. But all our needs were met and in fact they exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Something to Wag About for day care and training.

Great place I haven't used their training yet, but the grooming is great even for my squiggle worm pup

As a disclaimer, this is the first negative review I ever wrote. This is my third time taking my dog to Something To Wag About and he was petrified the moment we walked through the door. The poodle that arrived before myself pooped/peed on the floor and when I return to pick up my dog another pug did the same thing. Clearly all three dogs did not enjoy their time there. I brought my Newfoundland dog (160lbs) in for a full grooming and trim. It was noted he was not cooperative and therefore they did not perform any trimming which was the primary reason I brought him in. I was charged $200, the same price I paid several months ago for the entire service which included the haircut. When asked to a reduced rate, Demika one of the groomers refused. For reference, my dog was in there for 1.5hrs and essentially only got a bath and light dematting. Save your money and go somewhere else, your dog deserves better.
