We have gone sporadically to The Barking Lot for a couple of years now. There was a…read moremiscommunication with the preference card recently and I was less than pleased with the grooming service provided. However, when I called to discuss it with the owner, he was more than happy to help. He went through and investigated the situation/preference cards, did not blame it on staff, all while trying to provide the best customer service he could. They were able to fit my two dogs in last minute which I appreciated and they did an excellent job. Even if it was a sub optimal groom, having an owner who works with customers to try and navigate problems and make them right makes this business stand out. Thank you!

Paddy has fear based aggression issues from past trauma and I was so worried and ashamed to bring him into a groomer but Grace and the rest of the team assured me that he would be safe and they could meet his needs at his pace. I am in awe over the professionalism, empathy and expertise this team displays. Thank you 4 the Love of Dogs for making it possible again for Paddington to get a spa day and feel safe enough to do it!!!!

They remembered how special Darcy was even though she did not work there anymore. Darcy has been wonderful with my little dog Benny. That was two years ago. Benny is sweet now, but when Darcy first saw him, he had just stopped biting me or so I hoped. Benny was rescued at great expense from the streets of Nashville Tenn. Darcy works at Bark Avenue now.
