    Even my dog Alex resonates with my review feelings.

    I registered for a training class for my pet, booking three private sessions. I missed the first lesson and requested a reschedule, but they didn't honor the new date and time, citing that the trainer was double-booked for a group class. I considered that even. During my first class, I was frankly unimpressed. They kept asking for my phone number and information about my soon-to-be ex. Before leaving, I updated my phone number with the cashier. A few days later, I called the store to cancel my remaining two classes and requested store credit instead. While speaking with the manager, I provided my number four times, yet he still asked for it again. When I questioned if he was doing this on purpose, he responded, "Why are you getting upset?" I clarified that I wasn't upset, just frustrated at having to repeat my number multiple times. He then informed me that I would need to come to the store for a refund. When I called again, I received the same response. I believe this reflects poor customer service and an inexperienced, unapologetic manager. Unfortunately, they have lost my business.

    I took my puppy, Coco, here for her first groom back in late 2017. Kaitlyn has been her groomer ever since. Coco, whom is shy towards everyone, jumps into Kaitlyns arms when she sees her. (She only jumps into my mother's and my arms) Kaitlyn knows exactly what I want. She's extremely knowledgeable and gives advice on what would be best for our fur-babies. I always recommend her to all of my friends and associates. She really is amazing!

    My dog Charlotte looks great after her grooming at PetSmart. Her groomer Jessie did a great job cleaning her. Charlotte is happy and clean.

We have a puppy and two older dogs who love the puppy but so not want to play as much as the puppy. Here Otis can run free with friends and play as much as he wants under the watchful eyes of the staff. He comes home happy and exhausted and wanting to go back. The staff here is awesome. They love animals and they get the love back. They take pictures and videos of the day and you get a report card about your pet for the day. We love it cause we like to know he is happy and doing well when away from us. They have inside and outside play. They have toys and obstacles and even a pool. Everything your dog could want they have here. If you don't wanna leave your dog in daycare you can sign up for the dog park and play with your dogs and any others in a secure dog parks. All dogs under go temperament testing and have to have all the shots so you know your kids are playing with the good kids. I highly recommend yard mutts and maybe Otis and I will see you there

I typically place my dog once a week in daycare and have her nails trimmed once a month. I feel safe and trust leaving my dog at Yard Mutts. All the dogs there are evaluated for behavior in order to maintain a safe environment. Each time I receive via email a report card of my dogs behavior and which dogs she has interacted with a long with a few photos. I would recommend this place 100%.

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.

    My dog was brought in to board from Sept 3-9. When I brought her in on Sept 3, I left written…read moreinstructions that said the following: Give Trazadone half a pill once a day at bedtime. She can also have an extra half pill every 8-12 hrs if anxious during the day. Cover well with the turkey and give. If she is still anxious, call her vet to increase dose. When I picked her up on Sept 9, I was told that she wouldn't be allowed to come back to the kennel as she "wasn't a good fit". She was extremely anxious to the point that she was shaking and had to be hand fed. Unfortunately, when I arrived back home and counted the trazadone, I saw that no extra doses had been given, just the bedtime dose. The pill bottle itself even said give extra if needed. My instructions also said "If she is still anxious, call her vet". When I called Countryside, I was told "We never call vets". The problem is, I wasn't called either and my dog was allowed to be extremely anxious when she could have been medicated. I would like to know why my dog was allowed to be so scared when Countryside had extra medication to give her and failed to let the vet or me know that she needed an increased dose. Countryside suggested I get a home caretaker. My dog won't let anyone in her house. She's be very abused prior to our rescue. I've been working with a trainer to help. I sent an email asking for review by a manager or above, but got not repose from Countryside.

My truck broke down and had to be repaired in Maryland so we were a week late getting back. I knew the food would run out so I called and spoke to the manager. My dog was on a special diet. I told the manager to go to Hamby Road Animal Hospital to get more food and have them call me for my credit card. No one followed through and when we got back my dog had lost two pounds because she wasn't getting enough to eat. It was very noticeable when I picked her up. Then Covid started and the lobby shut down. There were less employees too so for years now I've never seen the dogs outside like I used to. Plus our dog seemed hoarse the second to last time she was boarded there which struck us as odd. Last March 2023, I had to have surgery. We boarded our dog for only two nights. When she was picked up, not only was she hoarse again but she had to poop 3 times in a row. So we surmised she was put in her room and ignored. She would only bark if she need to go out or wanted her play and walk times I was paying for. Our dog was so well house broken that she held her poop and barked to be taken out so much she got hoarse. We decided that she would never go there again. She is dead now from cancer but the two trips we made last year before she got sick, we took her with us. We decided not to use this place anymore.
