I cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for EVERYONE at Atlanta Dogworks! I brought our 10…read moremonth old Rhodesian Ridgeback, Trinity Grace, in for overnight boarding as well as a couple one on one training sessions with the owner Greg and myself while I was housesitting in the area. I have neuropathy in my hands and leash walking has definitely been challenging for me so, I was hoping Greg could give me some pointers. Never did I expect Trinity to be able to walk next to me without a leash. Where to begin.... Vanda, the receptionist, was so kind, patient and sweet! She was extremely helpful with my multitude of questions before, during and after. I am very much the helicopter mom for our fur baby...lol. I've never done something like this so Vanda was amazing answering all my questions. You could genuinely see the love she had for all her fur and human customers. Trinity boarded overnight and it was obvious she was very comfortable and connected with Ashlynn that was giving her some trail walks and taking care of her. Due to the limited amount of time I had in town I was only able to get two sessions in with Greg. It is mind blowing how much he taught Trinity but more so me in that time during our sessions. I loved the analogies and thought provoking scenarios he provided in order for me to relate to our pup and her thought process. I had always heard it's more about training the owner versus training the dog. Which I definitely see now. Greg even told me by the time we left on the second visit that Trinity would walk next to me without a leash. And she did! Now I have a lot of work to do still especially when we go back home down to South Georgia. But I definitely look forward to bringing Trinity back in a couple months to work with Greg a little bit more. Because I had to go several times I really feel like I got to know the staff. Trinity was very excited to see Vonda, Ashlynn and Greg. As I like to say, Trinity did the wiggle butt dance every time we arrived! Regardless if you need doggy daycare, overnight boarding or training the Peacefulness & Serenity of this facility is like no other and your pup will be in GREAT hands. This was such a precious find! I also loved all the little extras that could be added on. The irony is when we lived up in this area 8 years ago, our German Shorthaired Pointer Rascal used to run to a farm behind us. Little did we know it was Atlanta Dogworks. It was pretty impressive that Vanda remembered our Sweet Rascal Girl too. That sure was a sign that Trinity was in good hands! Looking forward to a long relationship with a phenomenal establishment!

WARNING: If you boarded your fur baby during the dates of June 9, 2022-June 12, 2022, please know…read moreyour dog has been exposed to KENNEL COUGH. As 2 of my 3 caught it at the facility. Please keep an eye on your fur babies and if they start coughing or have diarrhea, take them to the vet to get them checked! I picked up my 3 dogs yesterday and 2 of them have KENNEL COUGH!!! To say I'm upset is an understatement. I was in contact with the lady that runs the facility. She told me yesterday morning that my dog, Togo had a one short 2 cough spell but that it wasn't hindering him. I became concerned at that point. I know I am not a vet BUT I am a groomer and I have worked at a vets office before, so I do know some things. I picked the dogs up and the coughing got worse! Well to top things off my dog, Spirit started coughing. The owner wanted me to keep her informed, so I did let her know that Spirit started coughing. Then to top that off, I had to groom ALL 3 of my dogs when I got home. Now I know they are going to stink or be dirty when staying at a boarding facility BUT when my dog, Monty had dried dog poop all over his belly, that is unacceptable! They were absolutely filthy and smelled so bad! When this was mentioned to the owner (I have the messages,) all she had to say was, I'm sure that is from when Spirit had loose stool in the run. Um.....did you not clean the run? And why would not rinse off my dog? I'm not asking for a full blown bath but you could at least rinse him off! I also would like for y'all to know that even though I was notified about the one short 2 cough spell, when I picked up, my dogs where still in the same run. They had not be quarantined from other dogs in the same area as they were. I sure hope those who had dogs staying there were notified that their dogs had been exposed to not one but two dogs with kennel cough, as this is HIGHLY contagious. I even said that to the owner. I have all the messages. I want to also say that she seems to be so nonchalant about it. She has not even offered to pay for the vet bill and still charged me for boarding. Well with the timeline the way that is of when the coughing started, one of two things happened: 1. There was already a dog there with kennel cough and they failed to quarantine, notify incoming boarders and failed to properly clean/sanitize. 2. There HAD been a dog there with kennel cough and they failed to properly clean/sanitize. Either way my dogs are now very sick and refuse to eat and drink water and they did catch this virus at the boarding facility! Please DO NOT EVER USE THIS BOARDING FACILITY. I will be making sure to ask any future boarding facilities for their general cleaning procedures, to make sure this doesn't happen in the future. **Anyone is more than welcome to contact me and I am more than happy to send videos, pictures, etc.**

I can't say enough good things about our dog trainer, Justin Perry. I have nothing bad to say and…read morewhat I do have to say is all true. We searched the internet for a dog trainer and met several before we chose Justin. We weren't sure how our pup Luna (short for "Lunatic") would react as she is not a friendly dog and is wary of strangers, males and kids but she had no issues with Justin at all. We have numerous dog problems; Luna is an alpha, not social, barks all the time and needs a lot of work. Justin started with the basics and had her walking on a leash (which was difficult to do before Justin started with her) and is working with her on all basic skills. To our friends I refer to Justin as a "dog whisperer" (I have never told him that to his face but it's true). Justin is very quiet at first but he knows what he's doing. He has never raised his voice to her and Luna seems to understand what Justin wants her to do. Justin gives lots of tips for pets and owners and he helped us understand Luna's actions better. Luna even looks forward to his visits. We have definitely recognized improved social skills with Luna in just a short period of time. I would definitely recommend Justin as a dog trainer and we will be calling on him for other issues as they arise.

Rachel lied about the records from the vet. I only found out that what we had specifically asked…read moreabout was true and she lied and said the doctor said there were no issues with her eyes. Took her ba k to the same vet and they brought up her eyes. We saw for ourselves what was conveyed to them and its in writing. We got a second opinion and they said the same thing. Rachel refused to do anything to make it right because it was superficial and outside of the contract. We would not have spent that amount of money on a dog We had questions about and were lied to. Dont use her. She only cares about the money and not the dogs or her clients. Very disappointed in how she handled the whole situation. Response to your reply. I am glad you posted the vet report because it does not say if she has it it said "***Eyes: A very minimal bilateral divergent strabismus is noted.". Again it is not that she is unhealthy its that we specifically asked you about it before we gave you the money. We had already given you a deposit before we saw the pictures showing her eye issue. You said the vet said she was 100% ok with no eye issues and you said that in text even though their report said she did have eye issues. The reason for us posting reviews is so you don't take advantage of anyone else in the future.
