The Dog Shop

We have been bringing our golden retriever Ellie here for years.  She came from an abusive situation and the ladies at the Dog Shop take the time to ensure that she is comfortable and that it is a fun experience for Ellie.  Ellie actually gets excited about going to the Dog Shop.  She loves the interaction with the other dogs, especially Huckleberry.  They do an awesome job grooming her.  Always professional and friendly service!

I took our new puppy to The Dog Shop for her first nail clipping experience for a couple of reasons.  First being, their location is super convenient for me.  Second, I had talked with one of the owners about my pups first clipping and I appreciated all of their insights. I'm not going to lie though, I was still so nervous.  My previous dog (who has since passed away) was terrified to have his nails clipped.  I'm sure that was in part of the bad experiences he'd had early on.  I didn't want that to be the case for my puppy.  I wanted her to have a good experience from the get go so I was so worried that she would have a bad experience.  Like, what if they accidentally cut to close to the quick (her nails are black)...etc... This was not the case though! The ladies (Jessica and Danielle) were AMAZING! They were quick and my puppy was comforted and cared for the whole time.  Not a peep of distress from her. I will be bringing our pup back to them in a couple of weeks for her first bath experience which I'm hoping goes just as well.

I called ahead of time for the appointment.  They were recommended to me by my vet.  It was extremely conveniently located.  There is a big room they do the work in, but the dogs are allowed to play in that room as well.  No cages.  It is very clean and doesn't smell. (angieslist.com)[divider]

This place is a diamond in the ruff! After my old groomer moved too far away, I came to the conclusion that it isn’t easy to find a dog groomer you can trust. It’s very important to me to find a groomer to treat my little guy like the member of the family he is. After a couple bad experiences, I came across The Dog Shop flyer while hangin’ with my pup at The Dakota Memorial Off-Leash Dog Park. I checked them out online and discovered that though Jessica and Danielle have a ton of grooming experience, this small business had only been open a month. I decided that it was time to give them a try (my little guy was in major need of a summer cut).  When I called to make the appointment, I was able to bring him in the same day. When we arrived it was a clean, and friendly environment. I love the fact that the dogs can roam freely (but safely) while they are there. Non of the dogs seemed to be stressed out at all. My guy was a little apprehensive to go back at first, but when he saw the other pups hangin’ out, he got excited. I picked him up about three hours later, and he was just laying on the floor observing what was going on. He was excited to see me, but didn’t have the distressed “SAVE ME” look I’ve seen before. His cut looked great, and was a VERY reasonable price for the stress free service provided. Jessica and Danielle are great!!   I will recommend them to anyone looking for a better groomer.  So happy you two opened this shop up!!!

This shop was amazing!!  We have only taken our Samoyed to one other place and we were not pleased with the results.  Nor have we had success with a previous Golden Retriever.  Needless to say we are very picky where we take our dogs.  I love the open environment, you get to see exactly what is going on!  It is wonderful that they let the dogs just hang out in the shop and not in cages (I mean grooming is scary enough for our Samoyed and then throwing him in a cage wont really help).  I also had a great feeling that they knew exactly what to expect with each dog.  Their prices were better then we were expect since our Samoyed needed a lot of help!  In the end our dogs came out of the shop happy and beautiful (seriously I could stop petting them).
