Academy of Dog Grooming Arts

Very quality grooming at a great price. Nice and friendly staff. Dogs are given potty breaks and treats too! Evening appointments are available too which no one else in the area offers!

Brought dog in for grooming and told them I did not want him shaved. Picked up Collie that was terribly shaved, nicked and cut unevenly. Charged extra for something I did not want. Asked to speak with manager who would not speak with me. Receptionist rude. Owner called who was insulting and rude. No restitution. My breeder said it will take 2 years for hair to grow back.

Thanks to the great education and training I received at the school, I was not only able to find a great paying job within 2 weeks of graduation, I am now the proud owner of my shop.

A wonderful place to take your dog or cat! Remember this is a school with students who are learning to be professional dog groomers. Just like in the human salon industry when you go to a school for services sometimes small mistakes happen. Nothing ever terrible happens here! Your dog will not come out with orange or green hair… They will not be traumatized, here the students love animals and will treat you dog better than they treat their best friends!

Sometimes is takes a couple honest reviews to turn this place around. I’m going to be completley honest, this place was a total 5-​star experience for little Ms.Izzy.
To begin, we were greeted by a very very friendly and helpful staff both on the phone and in person. Our ducks were put in a row and she was swept away for her spa day. They gave us a welcome package for us (first-​timers only!) which explained their philosophy and process in detail.
I was called on my cell phone when she was ready, but was told not to hurry they are open until 5. I arrived to find little Izzy wrapped in a festive St. Patrick’s day bandana and bow on her harness. She was cut exactly to my specifications, she smelled fresh, and most importantly — she was not shaking/​nervous/​traumatized. Other groomers in the area have to be avoided because they operate like factories and you walk in and sounds like a war zone. It was quite in here, you could see into the grooming area and it was clean with plently of space for the dogs between stations. No dogs were freaking out and I was completely impressed.
We got another treat for ourselves and were told tips go to the local shelter! If thats not enough it was about 25% cheaper than any place I have found ($ 28) and you are given the opportunity to make an appointment within 24 hours for the next 2 months for a $ 5 discount.
Again, I am mostly impressed with how my easily traumatized (chicken) dog was so relaxed when she left here. They took the time, effort, and care to present a service they were proud of. I took a chance coming here because of poorer reviews on Unilocal.However, my parents had their cat get a nice Lion cut here and were pleased. So, I hope you take the advice of someone who has more than 2 random reviews and give this place a shot if you are nearby. You will not be sorry.

I’ve been using the service for 2 – 3 years. I told a friend to go there too but they cut the dog’s nails too deep so hurt him.
I got problems with them too. First time they cut my dog’s ears. They didn’t tell me until I called them. 2^nd time was they didn’t clean the dog well. Still had shampoo or something on my dog’s head so he got allergy with a lot of little bumps. I had to spend another $ 40.00 to get medicine.
