    Sage after her first visit (-:
    Adrienne R.

    The Dirty Dog was amazing! I had friends refer us here after my pup and I had a horrible experience with a previous groomer. I can't stress enough how different this place was and how welcomed we felt from the beginning. I am so excited to find a place where Sage is loved and taken care of! I highly recommend you take your own pup!

    Not my picture, but I have always loved it! From an 'ol acquaintance's feed #facebook

    Sequoia, looking like a star after her mini-groom!

    I've been coming here for at least a year now and I'm really happy with their service. I had gone to two previous groomers and ended on a bad experience with the last one. I found this place through Yelp actually, and I loved the name! Everyone there is always sweet with my dog Sequoia, and they make me feel like they love her as much as I do. She used to shake from head to toe when she went to the groomer. Now she's still reluctant but none of that fear from before. She's a mini Australian Shepherd that weighs 40 lbs. I always get the mini-groom because I don't like to cut her long hair, but it does include a paw and sanitary trim which is necessary. I drop her off in the morning around 10am, and they're not super intense about being a little early or late which is really appreciated. They usually keep her for most of the day, which I also don't mind because I don't have to stay in the area waiting. I feel they do a better job when they take their time. She always comes home smelling so good, looking fluffy as ever, and with the cutest little butt and paw trim. They also always give her a cute bandana, and I've kept them for holidays and photo shoots! I've never had any issues with her still having knots, or not looking her best. They even asked if she had any allergies before giving her a treat, which was much appreciated because she's allergic to poultry and it's in almost every dog treat! Their shop also has some dog food and treats for sale. I recommend making your appointment early because they are very popular and tend to book out!

    At drop off.

    I really wanted to love this groomer, but they shaved my Goldendoodle twice that she looked like a rat. The first time I let her hair grow too long as she was a puppy and they shaved her. Not sure why they had to shave her to the bone though. They recommended I bring her in for mini-grooms in between cuts which I did twice which isnt cheap. Then then I brought her in for a cut, I spoke to the groomer for 5 minutes giving very detailed instructions about how I like it longer and NOT shaved. My 1 year old dog had two small knots and we agreed that this would be manageable and would not be shaved. I pick her up and she was SHAVED once again. I was shocked and not happy! I have owned poodles for 45 years in Maitland and never had a dog shaved like this. My doodle has poodle like fur and is more curly than wavy as she is 75% poodle and 25% Golden Retriever. I called and left a message for the owner. She called me back and told her the story about the major miscommunication. I said, someone should have called me to tell me that you were going to shave her. They said my dog didnt care for the detangling and so they shaved her. She had 2 small knots. I know, as I brushed her that morning. I could have got them out and I have no experience. Really disappointed as they are very nice and spend time with you before taking your pet. But just don't trust that they listen after this experience. They lost my business for poor decision making, not listening and lack of communication.

    This place is amazing I have a 120lb black lab (aka all muscle and he is a big baby) he is not a fan of getting his nails and paws trimmed. He did not want to go all the way to the back so they came to him. They laid on the ground with him and comfort him while cutting his nails. He was able to still see me which is all that my dog wants. They truly comfort him. I will no go anywhere else but here. Definitely recommend

    This place is the best. They are so caring and loving to my Xena. Christine, the manager, has taken care of our Xena for 11 years. My schedule is hectic and they always do there best to fit her in. If you are looking for a groomer, you can't get any better than The Dirty Dog.

    Waiting for her dirty dog appointment like  just get me there already daddd!!
    Tim R.

    This is the place to get your dog taken care of. Makes me wish i was a puppy when I see how well they are pampered at the Dirty Dog. Christina i believe was her name is the best. Simply the best. Bring your dog to Dirty Dog. Anything else is just shortchangin your pup.

    I cannot say enough great things about Wagging Willow and Susan! Have you ever met someone and felt…read morethat they were doing what they were born to do? That's Susan. Her training program is fun, informative, and effective. I first came to Susan after a recommendation from a close friend. My dog Chloe needed some help learning her proper manners. After the very first class I knew we were in good hands. Susan's training is based on positive reinforcement. Chloe passed through the first and second courses with flying colors. She is now in her third course and is on track to graduate with the Canine Good Citizen certification. We recently adopted another dog that needs training and I knew exactly where to go! Ruby has learned so much after only two classes! If you have a puppy or a dog that needs training I highly recommend Wagging Willow. You will have fun with your pupper, learn a lot, and form a deeper bond with your furry family member.

Their entire team has provided the best possible experience we could ever expect from a dog training service. Both the in-home one-on-one trainings and the group trainings have been such a blessing to our miniature dachshund puppies. The improvement they have shown has been unbelievable and we owe it all to the Wagging Willow team. We want to give an extra special shoutout to Susan for the constant tips and advice about food, potty training, and literally anything else we need. She puts in so much extra time and effort. She has truly gone above and beyond our expectations for a dog trainer. I can't imagine a better experience than we've had with Susan. If you have a dog, you need training with Wagging Willow. I recommend them to any dog owner, novice (like us) or experienced. Tell them Hazel and Honey sent you. :)

    I would strongly recommend against this company and location, unfortunately…read more I attended multiple sessions with my dog last Fall on a routine weekly basis, including Obedience and then several Agility courses once he had graduated to that level. The instructors were all helpful and I loved seeing my dog's progress. We were diligent about attending and practicing. When both my grandfather and mother fell ill and died within 3 months of each other during the holiday season of 2024, I could no longer make the sessions with my dog. Truly they were forgotten during this time of extreme hardship. A couple months later when I could breathe again, I remembered our sessions and went to reserve a class but couldn't because my package had expired. I called and was told that nothing could be done, as this was the policy. These are privately-owned franchise locations, and the owners have the ability to create and revise policies to help their customers - it is their choice to take a customer's money in upfront packages and then refuse to extend any goodwill or flexibility. The classes I attended were rarely full. It would not have hurt their business in any way to allow me to utilize the classes I had already purchased. Looking at other reviews, they have a pattern of treating customers this way. If they had let me use the classes that I bought, I surely would've kept coming and even bought more sessions. But it's not worth it to me to support a business that treats its customers like this.

We have been going to classes since she was just over 6th months old, we were biweekly/weekly for the first year and a half and now we pop in every few months for practice. We did a few private classes to troubleshoot issues and those were very productive and I felt the staff went above and beyond helping my dog overcome her fear of the teeter. The staff is incredible, they are all welcoming, kind and so knowledgeable. They have great suggestions in fixing behaviors and ate always willing to help with different training techniques. I would still go weekly if I could, and I fully plan to take all of my future puppies/dogs here for training and socializing.

After 8 weeks with Paul Wade is a totally different dog, and we are completely different dog parents. We are able to have friends and children at our house now and going on walks is actually enjoyable. We never have any anxiety concerning our dog because Paul has given us a solution and plan for pretty much anything we could run into. Paul has the perfect personality for what he does and makes you and your dog feel confident from the start. Believe me if you're on the fence, this is worth the money. Make sure if you invest the money you also invest the time. Do the homework and keep up with it. You and your dog will be so happy you did!

    Where do I start? From the minute I talked to Paul on the phone I knew he was the one for us! A…read morecouple of days later he came to our home and met our Lily and Putter. He was able to observe their behavior and talk to us about different plans. Not only did he we feel confident in what he was talking about but we felt his compassion and devotion towards our babies. This is definitely not just a job for him but a passion. We opted to board and train both of them. Lily is our 3 year old. She WAS completely out of control. Lily had become quite aggressive and many times we couldn't even walk past her without her growling and jumping at us. I had been bitten by Lily a few times just putting her harness on her (drew blood once). Outside walking her had become more than a chore. She would jump on anyone that came near us and then started barking and showing aggression towards outsiders as well. Lily was in full control of our home and lives. I was at my end. Putter is our 2 year old. I was not planning on getting any training for Putter until my husband suggested it. Putter's issues WERE his walking me and showing aggression towards any other animals. Keep in mind Putter is only 10lbs. but had no fear towards a 100lb. dog. I had thought as long as I held on to him he would be fine. All in all both were out of control. On the day Paul came to pick them up all I could do was cry and almost backed out (Thank God I didn't). Paul was amazing with keeping us updated on their progress. Over the course of the 2 week training he would text us to let us know how they were and we received many pictures and videos. We always seemed to have questions (I have to admit now some were pretty silly). Paul without hesitation answered all of them. Lily and Putter are home and for the first time in a LONG time we are enjoying them. The first couple of days we were a little nervous trying to maintain what they had learned but again Paul never let us down. They tried to revert back to their old ways but Paul trained us as well! What we also really love is Paul is not done with us. Not only is this a lifetime commitment for us but him as well. Lily has showed no signs of aggression and has stopped jumping on everyone. Putter no longer walks me and shows no aggression towards other animals. We are all so much calmer and happier now. They sit, stay, heel, place whenever asked. They are receiving positive attention now and are loving it. I can't thank Orlando Dog Wizard enough for helping us make our home happy again.

In July of 2024 I decided to make the training investement with both. I knew the mad skills and talents that Lexi & Tai have with dogs and both of mine needed the professional assistance. I enrolled them both together. Archie, is an incredibly stubborn 6 year old husky and Pongo is my overly excited, talking 10 month old Husky. They blend well together but they are not everyone's cup of tea! I trusted these two and their team and they did wonders with compassion, patience and professionalism! My dogs are the core of my world, so as most dog owners I worry how others treat my dogs when away. Lexi would touch in almost everyday, she communicated reports with honesty on progress & she let me know when a post of their training was hitting the social so I could feel better being apart. Recently, when I had to evacuate from St Pete during both of these recent hurricanes to Orlando, the team took them right in and explained to me the precautions and procedures they would be taking with them. This team even stayed overnight during the storms! Talk about going the extra mile. Lexi is amazing at communication and I still ask her questions about training because it's an everyday practice here with my two! Tai radiates love when he talks to the dogs. The staff is very professional, clean, organized and educates you on the different packages/pricing & knows your dog! Also they take great photography of the dogs! (photo of the work added!) Bottom line, if you found this facility and you If you love your dog(s) you struck gold!! I have been bringing them since they opened their doors and I will be loyal to this team forever. Note: my dogs could attend our wedding BECAUSE of Lexi and Tai's training with them.

That's when I found Natural Instincts on a Google search and decided to give it a shot. I signed up for the agility classes. For 99$ you can attend agility class either Saturday or Sunday morning for 6 sessions. The sessions expire within 12 weeks so when Pepper had to take a break because she got spayed, it was absolutely no issue. The majority of the class is focused on doing the agility course, but they also practice other things such as proper leash walking. The owner runs the class but there are always atleast 2-3 other trainers around to help. Pepper loves agility! She is a couch potato at heart but when she's at agility class she is always having a blast running and just being around dogs. A lot of obedience classes and dog day cares unfortunately discriminate against pitbulls but at Natural Instincts they are extremely bully friendly. Oh and they always have someone with a professional camera taking amazing pics of you & your dog. It's definitely nice having all these wonderful pictures of my dog (it's not like my camera isn't already full of pics of her). I have one week left from this 6 week package but I'll definitely purchase a new 6 week pass next class.
