The Polished Pooch

We have used Polished Pooch for doggie day camp at vet’s office and had been well pleased. Decided to try their boarding service in Collierville and it was very poor at best. He was sent with bag for each day with his medicine and treats was only given meds or treats once in four days. Came back ill a stomach distress and a week to heal and a $ 200 vet bill. Would definitely not recommend Polished Pooch boarding service, if you care about your dog.

I rescued my dog Cam last fall and spent time with 2 other trainers before finding Meredith. Basically I wasted those 3 months because my life changed when I found The Polished Pooch. I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with Meredith and had really high hopes — she just said all of the right things about how she works with dogs, really listened to my description of what I was struggling with and honestly just made me feel like she was going to be able to help. And she has done wonders for both Cam and I!
While he was in puppy school (or the adolescent dog school in his case!), she was so great each day about explaining what they worked on, what was easy for him and what I needed to keep doing with him at home. Having the homework was great — it let me practice and kept reinforcing what she had taught him!
He «graduated» from school within a month or so but we have continued going to daycare at both the Germantown and Collierville locations. Cam ADORES Meredith and Sarah both and the best part is, I know he is safe, having fun and still being reminded about his manners.
Meredith still answers any and all of my questions that I have — he isn’t a perfect dog but he came so far in such a short amount of time. My only regret is that I wasted time with other trainers before Meredith!

The Polished Pooch is such an awesome place. I love being able to take my dog to play for the day and know that he is being well cared for while he is there. Meredith is awesome with animals. I love the Collierville facility & will continue to take my lab there for daycare. He has the best time!

I did lots of research prior to purchasing a new puppy. I was determined to make the right decisions when purchasing and training my new puppy. I thought I had picked the ideal dog.
My new puppy, Shiner, was not interested in being the ideal dog. She was full of energy and had difficulty in paying attention. I tried everything I could possibly think of to help motivate her into a functioning member of my household. I spent 10 minutes on the phone with Meridith Caver of The Polished Pooch and knew she would be able to help. Meridith Caver is amazing. After the first session, Shiner was able to sit. Meridith is great at explaining what Shiner worked on during the day and what we should do at home to help further her training. We have learned how to make Shiner a part of the family, not the master of the house. We still have work to do, and we know Meridith will be there to help us alone the way.
Shiner is a different dog since she started puppy school with Meridith. In the mornings when Shiner has puppy school/​day camp, she is excited and knows where she is going. When she sees Meridith and Debra, she gets so excited to go and play.
I feel very comfortable allowing my Shiner to go to puppy school/​day camp w/​The Polished Pooch. The staff cares about your baby, just like you do!
