    We had taken our two huskies to get their grooming done at the north fontana location and had added the FURminator service on top of the bath. When making the appointment over the phone they were efficient and were able to get us in the following day. Making the appointment was no issue. We dropped our girls off at 9am. We received a phone call at 11:40am that they were ready for pickup. Once we get there we paid and were waiting for them to bring our girls out. The first one they had brought out was our youngest. She has no history of aggression just a very hyper active husky. When she was brought out, my dad had noticed she had a red mark on her side. Upon further look she had a bald spot on her fur and her skin had been irritated. My dad pointed it out and everyone was looking around asking who had been taking care of Nala. Everyone was saying it was Kass, which upon further review on the receipt it was Kass C. Once we noticed the red spot they didn't know what had happened and told us they were taking her next door to their banfield vet to get it checked out. Now, our dog is very social and cries when she is not allowed to go near someone because she gets very excited. Once they had brought her out she was tugging and not wanting to be taken from our side. She kept tucking her tail between her legs anytime an individual would get near her. They took her in a room and in less than 5 minutes they come out saying they believe she already had inflammation on her side and the brushing and grooming had caused more irritation. Mind you, our dogs are mainly indoor and they did not have any skin concerns before being taken in. They had been asking if she had some type of scab or anything beforehand but again, there was no skin concerns when taking her in and she did not have a single bald spot on her body. Now I know mistakes happen and especially with a hyper active dog like ours, it can be difficult to complete the bath and brush. The only thing that truly disappointed me was the lack of communication. We had gotten the call that they were ready and NOTHING was said. We arrived to pick them up and again, nothing was brought up. Paid and waited for them to be brought out and NOTHING was mentioned. It had been my dad who noticed the red sore spot and told them about it and even then, Kass herself didn't mentioned anything or talked about it at all. We never saw her once throughout the whole situation. We weren't looking to argue, we just wanted some type of explanation or more details about how the incident occurred so we can know how to go about it. The fact that there was really nothing said about the incident was insane and disappointing considering we weren't present when it happened and we wanted to hear what went wrong. Overall not the best experience so be wary when picking up your babies and triple check them before leaving this place

    Our Milo after his grooming today!

    Katy has been grooming our standard poodle, Milo, and yorkie, Max, for years now! She's amazing!! The service from the entire grooming department at the north Fontana location is seriously top notch! We always know our boys will be in good hands with them! We love the care that is taken with each grooming. We love the way they look and the dogs feel amazing too. They are never nervous getting groomed, Milo especially loves his visits with Katy!

    Pick-up location for online orders
    Melissa H.

    So....I'm not sure what the purpose of the pick-up sign is when only two employees are working at the register. While the employee that retrieved my order was pleasant I could have waited in line since they both appeared to be humans with two arms and could only manage the customer in front of them (not multiple customers at once). It thwarts the objective or in the customer's mind...I'm going to push this button and someone that is solely dedicated to retrieving online orders will get it for me and I will leave the store. Nevertheless, the transaction ended with the conclusion I wanted which was me getting the order I paid for, but the transaction was not smooth at all.

    They shaved my dog horribly!!! This is not a cut for a miniature schnauzer  I'm devastated & so is my pup MisO she's so depressed
    Asti L.

    I Brought my miniature schnauzer puppy here to get her groomed in September 0f 2023 and I should have known from this 1st mishap not to bring my dog back... anyway we dropped her off they called me to come get my puppy hours later come to find out they released her to us pre-maturely... we get halfway home & get a call saying she wasn't completely done ... so we bring her back so they could finish... mind you my dog is already traumatized from her first experience... we ended up waiting an additional 45mins to an hour to get her back the cut was decent & an actual proper cut for a schnauzer breed ... so we overlooked the mis communication. it's October and I sent her back this time my mother took her to get a cut because I was at work ...since her fur grew back pretty fast my mom told the employee she wanted the infamous schnauzer cut on the body & teddy bear face trim ... this is not at all what we asked for! They shaved my dog down soooo much it horrible I almost didn't recognize her i literally almost cried... this is totally un acceptable!! & I'm so mad that i couldn't address this because i got off work so late ... my dog is so depressed I will never be bringing MisO back here ...

    We've been going to that other "smart" store for over five years to have our dog's nails trimmed…read more Ever since, they've told us that we can just walk in and they will do the trim. The most we've ever had to wait is about 15 to 20 minutes. Today, was no different, walked in at 10:15a, let them know that we needed a nail trim, the associate said that the earliest they can get us in was not till 12 PM without an appointment. An appointment? I explained to them that in the five years we've been going to them for nail grinds (which is pretty frequent) we've never had to make an appointment. That's when she said that making appointment has always been in place. So, I walked out, came over to The Good Dog. The General Manager greeted us, even while working with another customer. Listening how he handled the other two customers in front of us (who appeared to be regulars) set the tone that this is a friendly place that we want to be a part of. You know, it's like "Cheers," you wanna go where everyone knows your name! Well, they were able to get us in right away. They advised we typically do not need to make an appointment for nail grind, but to simply call up to make sure they are not busy at the moment, otherwise can get in quickly. I think that's reasonable, fair enough AND smart! "Thanks, Good Dog!"

They offered medical wipes for my dog's injury and a complete re-grooming with a different groomer. I chose not to continue patronage, but the offer and continued open communication was very appreciated. Original Review: This is the first time I've been to this location and decided to go here due to the large number of good reviews. They were able to fit my appointment in very last minute, less than 24hrs notice, super friendly staff, and lots of merchandise. Also great cut options avaliable for someone new, trying to figure out what a new groomer can do with a new client. Asked them to brush his teeth and grind his nails, to which they accomplished (at least his breath smells better). With that said, I was told they would contact me 20 minutes before he's ready for pickup, they did not. They messaged me when he was done. No big deal. When I picked him up, immediately noticed the uneven cut job. As we're driving home, noticed A BUNCH of dirt left in his coat. Makes me question if they bathed him, and if they did, they didnt do a good thorough job. Also started to notice the uneven cut throughout his body, from his stomach where they left bunches of fur, to his back, which seemed as though they used two sizes for razors. They cut him (most likely by accident) but just reinforces my suspicion that they rushed through his entire "grooming". For the $100 package, counting $15 for dental/nail grinding, I can't say I'm not disappointed. Unfortunately, will not be coming back. Sincerely disappointed :( I will have to bathe him again, give him a complete haircut, and finish areas they didnt even attempt too, such as the hair under his nose going into his mouth.

Emily is equally wonderful--warm, compassionate, and supportive throughout the entire process. They both clearly love what they do, and it shows in every interaction. When I started, my almost 3-year-old pug mix, Fifi, struggled with barking, reactivity, separation anxiety, and had no reliable recall or response to commands. I was feeling overwhelmed, and even being at home had become stressful. While the training journey had its challenges, especially as a first-time dog owner with no prior experience, Chloe and Emily were there to guide and support me every step of the way. Their patience and encouragement gave me the confidence to keep learning alongside Fifi. The one-on-one sessions each week were invaluable, giving me the opportunity to receive real-time feedback in a supportive, judgment-free environment. The improvement in Fifi has been amazing. She's so much calmer, listens to commands, and we can finally take her out without worrying she'll bark at every person we pass. We actually enjoy our walks now, and even life at home is so much more relaxed. I can't thank Chloe and Emily enough for giving me the tools and confidence to help Fifi thrive. Rooted Dog Training exceeded our expectations.

The entire team was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. At the start of boarding, Darcey was able to pinpoint the key areas that needed work. Throughout the training process, we received regular updates, including informative notes, photos, and videos that showed just how much progress our pup was making. It gave us so much confidence and peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. The information shared also helped to prepare us on his return, specifically the steps we needed to take to enforce his training. On pickup day, Elias took the time to walk us through all the commands and detail best practices moving forward. His attention to detail, depth of knowledge, and ability to clearly communicate everything really stood out not just to us, but even to outsiders observing the session. Everyone was genuinely impressed! The transformation in our pup has been amazing--he's noticeably calmer, more attentive, and much better at listening. This is a level of progress we couldn't have achieved on our own. We're so grateful to Darcey and her team and we would not hesitate to work with them again. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional dog training!

We were happy to hear that she was doing fantastic while she was with him, and we genuinely wanted to continue building on the foundation he gave her. Our main frustration has been with the lack of clarity and follow-up after the 3-week board-and-train. The description of the 3-week program on the facility's website lists Place, Sit, Down, Stay, Heel, Off and Come, along with on-leash training and behavioral issues. After bringing our dog home, we still had questions about how to properly continue those skills. During our follow-up, we were instructed to use the e-collar for now and not use verbal commands yet. We were completely willing to follow that direction, but we were left unclear about what the progression was supposed to be. At what point were we supposed to begin pairing the e-collar work with verbal commands such as sit, down, stay, heel, off and come? We wanted to make sure we were following the training method correctly rather than introducing commands too early or incorrectly. Another concern was that we never received her basic obedience certificate. We had seen the facility provide certificates to other dogs, so we reached out because we wanted clarification about whether she completed or passed that portion of the program. Unfortunately, getting answers after the training has been very difficult. We were told Darcey the owner would contact us, but after several business days we still had not heard from her. I eventually emailed Darcey directly and did not receive a response. I also communicated with Brookelynn (manager), who initially responded but then stopped replying after I answered her. We paid for a 3-week program and simply wanted clarification and guidance on how to properly continue what our dog was taught. I would have much preferred to resolve these concerns directly with the facility, but despite multiple attempts to communicate, we have not been able to get clear answers. I hope they improve their follow-up and communication with clients in the future.

    We have waited wayyyy too long to post this review and I can confidently say even after 6 months…read moretraining has stuck with my pups! Our pug Boba, who is 6 years old, had a huge issue with barking and reactivity. Before training, anytime there was a loud noise, another dog, or even a person just a few feet away from us, he would immediately start barking and getting worked up to the point where he would do that pug scream, and no amount of reassuring would help. Walks were stressful and we constantly felt on edge trying to manage his reactions. Working with Yasin made such a difference. He was incredibly patient and really took the time to explain why Boba was reacting the way he was and what we could do about it. Instead of just trying to stop the barking in the moment, he helped us understand how to work through the behavior step by step. Everything he taught us felt realistic and doable in everyday life, which made it so much easier to actually stick with. One of the biggest moments for us was when we took Boba and his sister with us on a trip to Joshua Tree. Before training, something like that would have been stressful and probably not even enjoyable. But because of everything we learned from Yasin, it ended up being such a pleasant vacation. At one point we even stood and ate at a restaurant for almost two hours with multiple dogs around us, some of them were even reactive, and Boba was such a model citizen the entire time. It honestly felt amazing to see the difference. Because of Yasin's training, we actually feel confident bringing our dogs on vacations now, which is something we never thought we'd be able to do. Boba is a completely different dog in the best way possible, and we also feel so much more confident as owners because we now have the tools to handle situations that used to feel overwhelming. If you have a reactive dog or feel overwhelmed with training, we definitely recommend working with Yasin. He really cares about the dogs and the owners, and it shows.
