    He is not a bath lover, but has learned to stay even when he is uncomfortable.
    Corina U.

    Our dog, Dakota, is the center of our world. We brought him home at 9 weeks old and all of 17lbs. Yes his paws were huge, but at that time we failed to realize what that really meant. " Maybe he'll be about 60-70lbs?"...boy were we wrong! At 1 year old he was 90lbs! He is the 2nd dog to be part of our family (RIP Bella), and we vowed that this time we would properly train our pup...blah, blah, blah. We taught him the basic commands, but it didn't help when he would see a cat and yank the leash with all his might! My husband and I had regular visits to the chiropractor! Also when he would see another dog, he would jump with excitement and pull us along for the ride. We knew we needed a professional's help before it was too late, and before he hurt us or someone else, or another dog! So we called Megan at Smarty Paws, and it was the best thing we ever did. He was about 10 months old and we were so worried that maybe we waited too long, and we definitely did. But Megan was still able to help us with Dakota, and give us the necessary tools, so that we were more equipped to handle such a big dog! Before Megan, we didn't walk Dakota, he walked us! He would pull where he wanted to go, and it took a lot of strength to overpower him. Megan went back to the basics and showed us what we were doing wrong. Together we learned to create boundaries for him and when to properly reward him, and the right way to correct him. Before long he was like a new dog! Megan has a no nonsense approach. Funny thing is our Dakota loves Megan to pieces! When he sees her its like he's seeing one of us, like she is part of the family. But he also knows that Megan is all about order and structure and he obeys her every command and hangs on every word. Bottom line is, Dakota is still a work in progress, but he is a night and day difference as to how he used to be. Our walks with him are so pleasant. Never ever would we have dreamed that he would ever get to walk off-leash, but he can now, safely. People will stop us and say, "Your dog is so well behaved, and he listens so well!" And we just think, " If you only knew how he used to be." I started this saying Dakota is the center of our world. He is a couch hogger and a bed stealer, and always thinks it's "walk-o'clock". But of all the things we do for him because we LOVE him, investing into his training with Megan at Smarty Paws was the best thing we could have ever do for him to show him our love. He is more calm. He is more confident. He trusts that we are in control, and that makes him feel safe. I consider Dakota a success story. I would recommend Smarty Paws to anyone considering training. It has been life changing for Dakota and our family, and I'm sure it will be for you as well.

    Another gem found through Yelp. My Goldendoodle and Standard Poodle had their first service with owner, Megan, at Smarty Paws. It can be challenging to find groomers who will take TWO large dogs especially those with hair and need a higher level of maintenance. First, contacting this business was a breeze. I sent a request through Yelp and Megan promptly responded. She has an organized system for communicating, providing client information, and observing the menu of services, which is detailed. Megan also responds promptly to text messages and provides reminders/updates. Now for the services...My Standard Poodle came out literally SPARKLING! It reminded me if the movie Twilight when Edward first revealed himself in the sun to Bella and his skin was sparkling. My poodle smelled soooo good and she was fluffy soft. She still smells good days later! Her nails were polished black making them look nice and shiny too. I could tell my poodle loved her bath by the way she pranced around the rest of the day. The next day I took my Goldendoodle. He was the first to use their new bath! He also came out looking soft, shiny, and fluffy smelling soooo good! His ears were very stinky and she used a technique to get the odor out! His ears now smell like eucalyptus! Both furbabies were also thoroughly dried. Megan definitely spoiled them with love, care and fun during their services. Megan uses high quality products and she enjoys spoiling her clients. This is evident in the way she communicates how the service went to pet parents. I appreciate that she took the time to check the clients which helps warm up to them before taking them in. I also appreciated that she requires vaccination records. Not all groomers check. Megan provided photo updates during the services and gave enough notice to let me know when they would be ready. We would highly recommend Megan!

    After - so bright and white!

    Megan is fantastic! My female Great Pyrenees absolutely hates the bath and she is so patient working with her. I was having difficulty finding a groomer due to her size and she gets very nervous around other barking dogs - so being the only client at one time really works great for her. She comes back a new shade of white, super soft and smelling great. Before and after pics below!

    Megan did a great job blending her coat!

    Megan was amazing with my little Pom! I initially picked her grooming business because she had experience with other double-coated dogs and I wanted someone knowledgable about caring for my Pomeranian's coat-type. I brought my dog in for a deshedding and trim and she came out looking exactly how I wanted. Megan lets the dogs set the pace for their grooming so that they don't become overly stressed and get a positive experience with grooming, which is important to me. I love that she does music therapy and massages for the dogs during the session to keep the experience relaxing for them. At the end of the session, she even gave my Pom a new squeaky toy to take home as a new customer (which our other dog promptly stole, lol). I'm thrilled with the service I got and plan to come back to Megan next time my girl needs a groom.

    My Meiling had a COVID hairstyle for quite some time. My groomer moved to Davis and no other groomer would take new clients due to COVID. Out of desperate need I watched Youtube vids so I can groom her myself. As you can see in the before photos I tried cut Meiling's hair. I gave her a choppy 80's rock n' roll look. I got super nervous when I got to the matted hair because I could not tell what was matted or what was skin. Then one day the heavenly gates opened and the angels sang Megan's name. I reached out, lo and behold, Megan accepted Meiling! Megan worked on Meiling for quite a long while. My poor Meiling was seriously matted every where. When I picked her up Megan carried her out to me. I screamed with such happiness. She looked like an adorable lil' puppy again. Love! Also important, Megan made Meiling feel comfortable and safe during the whole process. Megan, the angels were right, you are truly a blessing!

    First off, it's really hard to find a good groomer. My husband and I have been looking for someone who we can trust to do our fur babies grooming. Due to The pandemic our original groomer was not taking any appointments. We needed to find a groomer fast. I came on yelp to search and I came across smarty paws. Why not so I gave them a try. Let me tell you. She did such an amazing job! My babies have never looked so freshly groomed. I know they feel so much better after. I highly recommend. She takes her time with them one on one, and she doesn't rush like other places do. Will be going back to her for my fur babies. Thanks again!

    My dog Maui (5 mo. Standard Poodle) and I are very satisfied with Megan's work. She is very attentive to communicating throughout the process and cares so much for the comfort of her clients. I enjoyed the pictures she sent while Maui was in her care. My dog looked so beautiful and happy afterwards. I am so happy I found Megan to take good care of my fur baby. We cannot wait to visit her again!

    Megan created BUMI a music playlist catered to his preferences to play during the session so he feels at home.

    We brought our older dog in after hearing about The Paw Spa from a Samoyed owner at a local park…read moreand all I can say is our days of home grooming are over! When we picked up our boy he looked fantastic and was so so happy! He was showing off how good he looked and felt. With the cooler weather this summer, and our boy's age and arthritis, we haven't bathed and groomed him at home as much as we'd like as we groom outdoors and prefer 90+ degrees so he doesn't get chilled or his arthritis aggravated. So the old boy's coat was a bit impacted and needed a good professional grooming. The Paw Spa gave him 2 treatments of deshedding conditioner then blew out the impacted fur. When we got home our boy was dancing and prancing all day just running around showing off. And for 2 days he would stand next to us for us to pet him - I think he was showing off and letting us enjoy his fully deshedded coat and soft silky fur. A week later and he's still walking up to strangers to let them enjoy his fresh, clean coat. The staff at The Paw Spa were nice at drop off and especially friendly when we picked up our boy (he loves charming folks and wins over everybody). As our old boy needs to meet new people every day or he gets very grumpy his clean soft coat draws everybody who sees him to pet him and be charmed by him. Our clean boy is getting so many new friends we haven't heard a grumpf or grumble or complaint in the week since the grooming. So, so nice for us! We're planning on becoming regulars and will be bringing both dogs in the future for regular grooming. One funny thing is the way we tell these 2 dogs apart is the color of their heads, dad is darker. Well, after dad's grooming he had lightened to match his son's color and for a week we couldn't tell them apart. But, this breed is known to change color often, and after a week he's starting to darken again.

    WOW. I stopped in to get my german shepherd puppy groomed - waited for about 10 minutes while the…read moremanager sat there on her phone. I waited, and then I immediately LEFT as soon as I saw her yelling at one of the employees, who was actually very sweet! If this filthy looking shop has a mean bully manager who is nasty to her employees, how will she treat our beloved animals??! No way, I will entrust my boy to them. Furthermore, the music was blasting so loud that I don't know how any scared puppy could feel relaxed and safe. I hope the owner is able to read this, and I will most certainly repost this message on review sites, to warn others about this so-called "spa". It also has a bad smell as soon as I walked in and everythihg looked dirty. Just so unprofessional and unclassy. I will never take my precious fur baby to an unhinged groomer like this. Manager was an uncaring, nasty woman with a chip on her shoulder. I feel very sorry for the employees working there, and the other pups who have to be scared of that chaotic environment. I do NOT recommend this facility to anyone who has a sweet, anxious or scared fur baby that they want treated with nothing but compassion and dignity. Fire the manager and clean the facility. For Gods sake, they clean animals??? Never saw anything like it!
