The most amazing dog trainer I have ever seen! Gary Adams has a communication skill with dogs that…read moreis truly nothing short of a miracle! I have been in dog rescue for 40 years and have never seen the skill he has with dogs in anyone else. He transformed an aggressive dog, that was going to be euthanized due to human aggression, in front of a group of us. Gary should be on television as the true dog whisperer. I am a volunteer at DeKalb Animal Control/Lifeline and have a lot of experience with many dogs and dog trainers. To watch Gary with this previously unadoptable aggressive dog was like watching a true miracle in person!

The Good Dog Academy helped my family in so many ways. When we first had our first child Gary…read morehelped with a smooth transition for our dog children. He goes above and beyond and both of my dogs love him. Our big dog was aggressive and Gary showed us how to channel is energy in a positive light. We learned many of our ways and habits needed to change in order for our dogs to behave. We had to set new boundaries and rules while still showing them just as much love. I highly recommend Good Dog Academy to all my family and friends.

I made an appointment and I should have read the reviews. The person who would be doing the…read moregrooming said don't have high expectations. I wanted a cut and the response was if I can't he will get a bath and trim. When I got the call he said that my dog was to nosey and all he got was a bath & a trim. I wanted to speak to the groomer when I arrived to pick him up and felt like I was a bother. Was told that he needed to get use to grooming - given a form by someone else on tips to get him use to grooming. My boy is 4 months and 2nd visit ever. When I called and asked questions prior to bringing him the person over the phone said the groomer will call you along the way and let me know. I was called at the end. As much as I love the store and all the things they have for dogs. I will not be returning for grooming services only as a shopper. I'll be going back to Dale at Petco who gave my boy a bath and a deeper trim than what he was given at PetSmart. The customer service was lack luster. I feel I deserved better communication in the end not being treated with compassion. My goal is to find a groomer that I can stay with as a dog mom. Definitely not the PetSmart team.

Staff is painfully incompetent. My dog is older, and has traction problems in his hind legs. He…read morepanicked during the storms and fireworks, getting caught in the run and ripping chunks of fur off. I was out of state, and was left a voicemail at 9:38pm stating my dog "wasn't walking and may need to be picked up.", with no mention of injury made to me. Additionally, I signed the form allowing them to give him medical attention if necessary - if he wasn't walking, the next logical step is to assess his feet and/or take an x-ray to check for musculoskeletal trauma. They didn't even mention bringing him in to be seen, which heavily contradicted the level of concern in their voicemail. I was later informed by the family member who picked him up they applied a topical steroid to this raw skin, for those who aren't aware - including the staff apparently- steroids on raw skin BURNS; hence his refusal to walk and overall anxiety. As previously stated, my dog was able to be picked up the next morning, and $700 in emergency vet fees and hours of travel later, he's now settled and recovering; but as a veterinary student I am appalled at how this staff handled this situation. I wouldn't so much as buy kibble & bits from this store, let alone trust them to provide the base level of care I paid for. We will never be back, avoid this location if you can. I am of full belief the boarding staff may have a love for animals, but there's absolutely no knowledge of animal welfare or behavior.

Our dog Moose did the 14 day Board & Train with Sam and we are so happy with the results. We wanted…read morethe focus of her training to be on e-collar obedience and Sam did an excellent job helping her and us learn. We can now take Moose off leash comfortably knowing she will come when called, sit and stay even in busy environments. I feel like we are happier humans and she is a happier dog thanks to Sam's help. The training style used was also based on rewarding Moose with play rather than food or negative reinforcement, which I really appreciate and didn't know much about before. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Highly recommend Dog Wizard and Sam!

Probably my highest review ever for a service I haven't used yet. hear me out…read more I just rescued a Rat Terrier puppy called Raffi from Texas, who showed signs of abuse and trauma upon arrival. I've parented/known many rescues in the past and never seen anything like the fear she exhibited. fully freaked out, I shot a message to Atlanta Dog Wizard with an SOS to help. Kat quickly got in touch and we had about a 30-min call, which provided me with INVALUABLE insight into my urgent situation. That information she gave me--keep in mind, I had paid no money for her advice or training to this point--gave me some practices I could use, right away, to make Raffi feel more comfortable. I still might officially use Atlanta Dog Wizard in the future, if Kat is any indication how the company does things. She has a passion for rescues and turning around challenging situations and making dogs (and humans) shine. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Because of her, our family dogs are able to go for (pleasant) walks on leash, follow a number of commands, and greet us at the door without jumping or going crazy. People always comment on how well behaved and easy to be around they are now (which was not always the case)! Caitlin also gave me great advice about choosing the right breed and dog for our situation during a few phone consultations. She's an incredible resource and a lovely person to work with.

Before my husband and I got married, our dogs couldn't stand each other. The doggy daycare we take…read morethem to wouldn't dare let them stay in rooms near each other, much less play together. We had Charles work with them while we were on our honeymoon and now they're inseparable. All that to say, Charles is a miracle worker. His rates are fair and the knowledge he has is vast. I will say, be prepared, because he's going to be very straight forward and some may be a little sensitive to his approach, (in short, it's not the dog, it's you, and he's going to tell you that) so try not to get your feelings hurt.
