The cut is uneven, particularly around her face, which appears choppy and not well blended. Her paws were also not cleaned up to the standard I expected. The areas of greatest concern are her armpit and belly, which were shaved extremely close. Her skin appeared irritated afterward, and there is a small area on her belly that looks consistent with a minor nick from the blade. I spoke with management to address these concerns and am currently requesting a refund based on the result and condition of the grooming. Overall, I am not satisfied with the service provided. If you have a long-haired or double-coated breed, I recommend clearly confirming grooming expectations in advance.

I just want to start off by saying that I am pretty disappointed in the staff and owner. We have been bringing him here since August of 2022. I know he was first in the Toy box room and has transitioned to the Gym room now. It seems like he started doing this when he was placed in the bigger room with the bigger dogs. But honestly, I don't know because no one communicated to me that he was doing this. We started to notice it when we picked him up and his feet were wet. Everyone at the front desk just acted like it was no big deal. So fast forward to March of 2023 and I sent an email to you all about why Oakley was being put in "timeout." Well turns out that the digging/playing in the water bowl is still happening and is getting worse. So you all ask about instating your three step process and I give you permission to do so. "We can also instate our three step process, where after the first incident we have them sit at our feet for 30 seconds, then after the second incident we walk them on a slip lead , and if it happens again THEN he would get the crate break." I have watched/recorded the webcams and the three step process is not a thing. All of the canine coaches are just done with my dog and he gets put in the crate immediately. Also, can someone explain to me why some of these canine coaches walk around the room with two metal bowls and bang them together? Or run a metal bowl across the top of the crate? I don't understand that and it doesn't seem like something a lot of dogs would like. So here we are today May 10, 2023 and I get a text message that "Oakley is taking an extended break right now" and "It seems like a game to him and we have used all the corrections & redirections that we are able to in this environment." I was told to call and basically was told that myself and Oakley should look elsewhere. So that is what we will do. I understand the annoyance of him digging/playing in the water bowl, but I don't see any real problem with it. He is a one year old puppy. We did 2 weeks of training at this facility and 8 weeks to prepare for his Canine Good Citizen and Canine Good Citizen Advance test, which he passed. Kit and Alex the trainers are awesome. He is not a bad dog. He just loves water! The bottom line is all of the canine coaches got tired of my dog. He was punished by being put in the crate any where between 10-40 minutes all because he was digging/playing in the water bowl. We were paying to have our dog socialized and he was not. If we wanted him to be in a crate all day, then we would have just kept him at home. It's just a shame that there was a lack of communication and broken promises. I wish the owner would have responded to my email, but here I am posting a Google Review that I am sure he will respond too. I hope you are able to find staff members that truly are dog people and care for them as if they were their own. I attached photos of bowls being banged together and Oakley always in the crate. P.S. We have already found a new place and they have little pools for him to play in! - Courtney & Mike Frazzetta

I can hardly contain Lucy's excitement when we drive within 2 blocks of their location. This training is DEFINITELY worth the investment. It's by far the best training we've ever had -- both for the dog and us. And if you're wondering , I am NOT related to anyone at No Leash Needed and this is NOT a paid endorsement :-)

I recently moved back to the area from Texas with my 2-year-old puppy, Sophie. Since I work fully…read morein office, one of the first things I did was find a play place for her. She passed the temperament test with flying colors, so I signed up for a monthly membership and took her several days a week with no issues. Because things had gone so well, I signed her up for a week of boarding while I took a trip back to Texas to finish packing up our house. On my drive back, I called No Leash Needed, paid for her stay over the phone, and gave them an ETA for pickup so I could move quickly once I arrived -- it had already been a long day, and I still had to unload the moving truck and be up early for work. The girl who took my payment said Sophie's things would be waiting up front. When I got there, her things weren't out, and I was told she wasn't there. I explained that wasn't possible -- my family was still in Texas, and there was no one else who could have picked her up. Instead of checking, staff kept insisting she wasn't there. Eventually, someone went to look, and 15 minutes later came back out with her. I didn't think much of it at the time and went straight home since we had a busy night ahead. Once I was home and got a good look at her, I noticed several marks on the left side of her face -- chunks of fur missing and dried blood. I took pictures immediately and called No Leash Needed. The girl who answered said no one had seen anything or knew what caused it. When I said I had photos and needed to speak to a manager, she claimed both managers had already left, that she didn't know how to reach them, and that no one had their numbers. After going back and forth, she suddenly produced a number for the day manager, Savannah, and put me on hold to call her -- then hung up on me after several minutes. Since they were still open, I drove back to the facility for answers. Winter, who was working, only offered to reimburse me for that day's play and the previous night's stay. I told her I wanted the full stay reimbursed and asked again to speak with the manager she'd clearly just been on the phone with. When I still wasn't getting anywhere, I called the Rock Hill Police. No one at No Leash Needed was helpful that night. Even with police present, staff wouldn't provide manager contact info beyond names, and continued mopping floors and closing up while the officer and I stood there waiting. No one offered any real help. It was bizarre!! The next day, GM Whitney called and apologized, admitting staff had mishandled everything and lied about not being able to reach management. I told her the marks were devastating, but what upset me most was still not knowing what actually happened. She agreed and said she was disappointed in her team. I appreciated the call, but the trust was gone. Whitney was the only one who showed real concern -- everyone else seemed focused on covering themselves. She can't run the place alone, and still relies on that same staff. I hesitated to post this, but too many friends who've seen Sophie's face pushed me to warn others. Dogs are innocent, and it kills me I put her in this situation. If I had this much trouble getting answers after, I can only imagine how little help she got when it happened.

He loves people, but he was getting a…read morelittle too aggressive with dogs and was acting up at home (I said goodbye to a favorite pair of shoes and a couple rugs). We needed some real help, which is when we found Bob. After 2 visits with Bob, our boy calmed down tremendously, started listening to us, got better on walks, and hasn't destroyed anything. Just 2 visits!! Bob taught us how to be better dog parents and create a sense of security so that our pup knew he didn't have to fill the alpha role. We then left Hulk for a week with Bob and his dogs. While we were gone, Bob sent us videos of Hulk and he was actually socializing with the other dogs! We were really proud. He also came home even calmer, which was much appreciated after a week of being away. Bob really is great with dogs, and he knows how to work with people, too. We learned so much from him and will definitely continue to work with him. He's got an interesting approach, but it works! Don't hesitate--give him a call and try him out!

My experience with Bob echoes those of other reviewers who found his training methods excessively…read moreforceful, compulsion-focused, and unresponsive to the signals my dog was sending. Not only did I find his training style personally objectionable, it set my dog's forward progress back by desensitizing him to low-force corrections (which he has always been quite responsive to) and triggering several instances of severe dog reaction while Bob was working with us. I initially got in touch with Bob to help with my 60 lb pit bull's reactivity problem. I have invested many hours and dollars training him, and he is well-behaved and obedient with minor exceptions - dogs and door knocks being the two I wanted Bob's help with. When I called Bob, he made several assumptions about my training and interactions with my dog, almost all of which were inaccurate. He spoke over me and did not show interest in what I've done so far, choosing instead to point to mistakes he thought I was making, only for me to say "no, I've been training my dog for years, we don't do that." When he arrived, as planned, he knocked on my door, and my dog started barking. I crated my dog, opened the door for Bob, and then let my dog out of the crate when he stopped barking. My dog greeted Bob curiously, and then slowly got more excited, finally jumping on Bob. Bob's reaction was (no exaggeration!) to karate chop my dog in the neck, to which my dog immediately began reacting, growling and barking at Bob. This took my dog from curious and cautious to downright protective. Bob then told me that I had to correct my dog into stopping his reaction. I got his attention and he eventually calmed down. He then took about 10 minutes to readjust and meet Bob calmly again. While I don't want my dog jumping on visitors (and he almost never does), I am confident there are methods less forceful than a karate chop to make the change. To be clear, *Bob is the only visitor my dog has ever reacted this way with.* It's clear to me that Bob triggered the reaction and it seems he wanted credit for putting out the fire that he started. Following this, we went out for the planned walk. We went in the direction of dogs, and Bob instructed me to not allow mine to look at other dogs. When we came across a German Shepherd, I told my dog "Leave it," which he ignored. We were about 50 feet away, and Bob asked if he could take the leash, which I allowed. He loudly told my dog "Leave it!", which my dog, again, ignored. Bob then issued such a forceful correction on the prong collar that the bag holder attached to the leash broke apart. This, predictably, caused my dog to go from uncomfortable and suspicious of the other dog, to a full-blown fight-or-flight reaction (growling, barking, and pulling). Bob issued several more high-force corrections on the prong and then kicked my dog twice. Only when the German Shepherd went away did my dog stop reacting. After this, Bob told me that the "solution is an e-collar." To be clear, I have found success with balanced training methods, including corrections on a prong collar. I am not opposed to e-collars, BUT Bob then suggested that the only way to get my dog to stop reacting was to issue a shock so strong "it would get all 4 of [my dog's] feet off the ground." I have no interest in using a tool solely to inflict pain on my dog. We did this exercise with a couple more dogs, and each time, the heavy corrections triggered the initial reaction and failed to get him to stop once he was going. Bob's style is almost purely compulsion-based, and while this may elicit the desired changes in some dogs, it is rooted in a theory of training that hasn't been the norm for literal decades. It causes unnecessary pain and stress to the dog, and, crucially, is less effective than many other training styles. Bob also made several off-hand comments while we were together, including that he flipped a driver off while he was walking into my building (???) and that the way to get a dog to stop barking in its crate is to bang the top of the crate with a skillet and yell at the dog. I found his behavior strange and unprofessional. I ended up cutting our 2 hour session short and paying Bob for 1 hour of his time at his hourly rate of $195/hr.

The front end staff is fine but not as interested or enthusiastic as the majority of similar staff we have encountered in other vet clinics. Getting in on the assigned appointment time is no problem. Our last appointment was for both of our dogs and we saw Dr. Stuart who is lovely. She is the reason this is a three star review as opposed to two stars. The reason we are not enthusiastic about SSVC is the following: The time it took at our last appointment was excessive - two hours for relatively outine exams. After the vet was done I stood at the front desk for more than 25 minutes waiting for a few simple prescriptions. During this time nobody came to the front and apologized for the duration of the visit or the insane wait to get the prescritions and pay the bill - which was $351.00. The bill itself was breath-taking but did not factor in on this review. In the past 25 years we have had 4 miniture schnauzers and 1 yorkshire terrier. We have lived in STL for all but 2 of those years and used 3 vet clinics in STL and one when we lived out of state. The time issues at SSVC are extrodinary as are the front end issues compared to all our other experiences. Would we recommend SSVC? Given our experience as lifelong (more than 110 years between my wife and I) dog owners we would not recommend the clinic though we really liked Dr. Stuart. It is our belief you can find better service and qualified care elsewhere.

We noticed there was a stitch left in so we quickly take him back up there in hopes they would get them all out this time.. Flash forward a few weeks of him "no longer having stitches" and we see there's a few still in there... we're a bit upset that they missed them especially since it's practically healed now & we took him up a 2nd time to get them out. So we call and say they missed a few & she quickly cuts us off and say "this happens sometimes" ... I'm sorry this what? It shouldn't happen at all.

Her special insight honed in on a special treat making the older dog jealous. We removed that problem and she guided us having them interact unrestrained.

We're going to have her come back and help us with training of the older dog and the new puppy moving forward. We plan to do it right this time. Highly recommend.
