My older pup (Matti)...has never been to a grooming facility...and is quite reactive to new situations....had an amazing time with our groomer Sarah. According to Sarah, Matti needed NO muzzle, and she was calm throughout! Our younger pup Sitka (feral dog, we've only had her about two months), needed a total shave, as her undercoat was completely matted and causing her distress in the war ish weather. Sarah and crew did an AMAZING job keeping the pups calm ALL DAY, and making them SO comfortable and gorgeous! The pups greeted us happily, and without any (so obvious) stress signs. HIGHLY recommend 4-Leggers...but actually, don't go here. Leave the few appointments they have for ME! I have already secured another appt for my pooches, but next time will schedule out for a year. This place is THAT GOOD. Can't comment on the lodging they offer, but for Grooming, they are amazing. Sarah will walk you through everything prior to your pups arriving. She is quick to email if there are any issues, and even sends pics of the pups in progress! Hope this place saves me some time for my poochies, as they LOVE IT!!!

This place is AWESOME!! Stopped in unannounced to tour the facility, it was spotless! No smell, no…read morewaste, and the outdoor play area was perfectly clean! The boarding areas are a bit small, but my two 40 lb dogs shared one and loved it! They rotate the dogs to play area for 15 minutes / kennel all day long, so the dogs get plenty of exercise. They encourage you to bring their own food in, and encourage you to bring their beds, toys, etc. The staff is cery friendly, their love of dogs is obvious. Several of the staff mentioned that they even bring their dog with them when they are working! Matti and Roxy gave it four paws up, I'm giving it five stars!!!

We had to take our Boston Terrier here while we were on vacation. Our Callie was having a severe…read moreallergic reaction to the grass. Her eyes were puffy and bleeding from her scratching them, her legs and stomachs were extremely red and itchy. My wife called and was giving an immediate appointment. When we went in the staff were very friendly and caring. The veterinarian came in the room and was very friendly and knew right away that our Callie was suffering from the reaction. He gave her an injection that she had on the past and a cream for her eyes.. so happy and grateful for this office to take care of our Callie. Anytime we need a vet while visiting In Laws there is no doubt we would take our pets here.. thank you all for your great service and caring attitude..

I was very disappointed with this establishment. This was the first visit to have my Great Dane…read morebathed, ears cleaned, and anal glands expressed. I had already filled out their online new patient form and in the comments I stated that Dugan weighed 140 pound. When calling to make the appointment, I again stated that Dugan weighs 140 pounds. So today I take Dugan for his appointment, the girl looked at him and then tells me that they didn't know how big he was, their tub isn't big enough so I must take him elsewhere for bathing. Right. Then they took him back for ear cleaning and anal gland care. Meanwhile the receptionist had me pay for the services. Out comes the tech to tell me they could only do one gland and just barely got his ears cleaned, that next time he would have to be sedated. Me coming back to calm and control him on this first visit is against their policy, evidently, because she wouldn't even consider that. There was no offer to credit me for an incomplete visit. Although the staff were very pleasant, I am not comfortable dealing with this kind of incompetence. They didn't LISTEN when I told them about him. What if I had told them something important and they didn't pay attention? Therefore it seems I will be looking for a different veterinary.

I'm so thankful for Nicole & Paw Paps Delmarva for being able to care & love for my dogs. She sent me lots of pictures of them which helped to ease my anxiety & to help me when I was missing them. I love the home style boarding so they weren't in crates/kennels unless it was requested by me. The place is beautiful, open, & clean. She had lots of activities for them to keep them occupied and not get bored. We will definitely be brining them to her again next time we come to Bethany Beach.

Val and Dave are the best! Our dog Cassie has been boarding with them for the past 6-7 years and…read moreshe always loved staying with them whenever we had to leave her behind. We use to travel quite often, but luckily Val and Dave were always able to accommodate a place for Cassie during those days. It was such a relief to know she was able to stay in a loving home when separated from us. We were so lucky to find them all those years ago because they really are the best! Now that we're moving to the west coast, we're sad that Cassie won't get to stay with them again. Hopefully we'll be able to find someone just as good where we're moving, but Val and Dave's care will be hard to beat!

Archie went to camp with Gina for three weeks and came home a different dog. I'm still a little…read moreamazed. He's a five-pound chihuahua who shakes when someone new walks in the room and basically lived on my lap or behind my knees. I'd worried a trainer would either give up on him or scare him worse, but from the very first day Gina put so much thought into making him feel safe. She texted that afternoon to say he'd already jumped into her daughter's arms. When he barely ate the first couple days and I got worried, she talked me through it and told me he'd come around, which he did. She took him on long walks around the park and the neighborhood to burn off his nerves before she ever asked anything of him. His crate became his safe spot at her house, a familiar place that was all his in the middle of a busy home with other dogs and parrots and training going on. And she started him on tiny, predictable rules, sitting before a door, coming when called, so he always had something he understood to hold onto in a new situation. She explained that for an anxious dog, knowing what to expect is half the battle. She also refused to pick him up every time he got scared, and warned me that part would be harder for me than for him. She was right. Somewhere around the second week he started smiling in the photos. He was hanging out with her little dogs and her family, going on field trips to the park and coffee shops, staying on his place while she walked away, heeling next to her. He knows sit, place, heel and here now, and he does them for me too. The turnover at my apartment took a couple hours and it was real work. She sat me down and explained everything before we ever touched the dog, then had me practice with Archie while she corrected what I was doing wrong. She's kept sending reminders and answering my questions since, including a few dumb ones about shampoo and brushes. Here's the part I still can't get over. We went to a party a couple weeks after he got home, which is a huge deal for Archie. He sat on other people's laps. He licked hands. He barely cowered. Six weeks ago he would have spent the whole night shaking under my chair. Everyone at the party noticed and commented on the change in his demeanor. I was a proud mama that day! If your dog is the anxious type, the one who hides, trembles, won't eat around strangers, or has to be carried everywhere, I really want you to hear this. A lot of trainers are set up for big confident dogs and don't know what to do with a scared little one. Gina does. She never rushed him, never forced him, and never made me feel silly for babying him all these years. She reads a nervous dog and meets them where they are, then slowly builds them up until they can handle the world on their own. That's exactly what Archie needed. I honestly feel like Gina is just getting started with him, and I'm already thinking of when I can work with her again. If you have a tiny, anxious dog and you're on the fence, go with Gina. Archie is a different dog and so am I. Thank you again for everything you did for him, and for me. Archie sends smooches. Sheri

I can't say enough good things about Brandi and Perry Bailey of RSK9. Their work has given my pup…read moreand I so much freedom and balance. Pebbles (blue heeler, 1.5 years old) would never listen to me, would not sit or lay still, and had a lot of other obedience issues that caused her to be stressed or confused. She was a TOUGH dog to train and I was concerned I couldn't find the solution for her to get basic concepts. This view has completely changed since working with RSK9's 3 week program. I would HIGHLY recommend them and their methods - you can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and it's made a huge difference in giving my dog the chance to find real rest at home. They send DAILY updates with photos and videos which was so nice. This isn't a regular class or something you just pay for; it's truly an investment that you and your dog will be using for the time you get to share together. Side note: it's worth doing 3 weeks versus 2 weeks. At the 2 week mark is when Pebbles really started to understand her marks and cues. From here there is so much more that can be refined and Brandi/Perry really capitalize on that threshold being crossed!
