    My siblings rant and rave about Wag! There dog is often boarded and does daycare days at Wag! Their staff is very pleasant and friendly! They provide multiple options and upgrades for their boarding and care options! Only suggestions would be more pictures or camera options for the dogs; otherwise I suggest

    report card picture that showed me she was injured
    M. M.

    Unfortunately, after 3 years of using Wag as my pup's boarding place, I'm no longer able to recommend them. In fact, I feel like I have to warn anyone AGAINST using them as it is no longer a safe or clean place for pups. For years, I had no issue. They were friendly, May loved them, and I had no complaints. The past couple of times have been a nightmare. In September, May (my fur baby) was injured within 1/2 day of her 3 day stay. I only found out because absolutely no one noticed she was bleeding and they sent a report card with her picture. I immediately noticed the issue and called them. They said they didn't know what happened or when but promised to clean the wound and let me know if there were any further issues. I picked her up and noticed she had scratched her ears while there and was scabbed and bleeding. The other injury to her face was healing well though so, I managed to have a conversation with the supervisor, Max, and let him know I was dissapointed. I appreciated that he seemed proactive and that someone else higher up also reached out to handle the issue and I was assured they would be making changes to prevent issues like this in the future. I was hesitant to bring May back but decided to bring her back for a 1 night stay and test it out. After all, I had only had the 1 issue before. I left her and the next day, I called around 1pm and let them know I would be delayed picking her up (scheduled for 3:30pm) and asked them to feed her since I'd be there after their dinner feeding time. I mentioned I had left an extra bag, as usual. The lady that answered assured me May was doing great and she was about to be taken out for a little play time and they would feed her. When I arrived around 8:30pm, the first thing the person at the counter said was "who are you picking up?" I was a little taken aback by the unfriendliness since I had never experienced that but I still said hello and gave my pet's name. She called for her to be brought up, still no other words spoke, and went to grab something in the back. She came back and handed me the extra bag of food I had left. I was obviously confused and asked her if that meant May had not been fed as I had requested. She just said "I don't know, I just got here" with an attitude and kept walking. At that point, I was really concerned and was starting to get upset so I mentioned that I had called earlier and asked for them to feed her as well as the fact that this was the 2nd time she was not properly cared for and how dissapointing that was. She shrugged and went to the back and they brought May out. The supervisor, Max, also came out and asked if anyone asked to speak to a manager. I mentioned what happed and he just said "well, i know i can't change your mind". No apologies, nothing. Even after I mentioned that what upset me the most was the lack of kindness and customer service from the person at the register. To make matters worse, once i got home with May, I noticed she had a new cut above her eye and some questionable stains around her neck - see new pictures. If you opt to leave your pet here, I strongly advise you check for any injuries when you pick them up. May is white and everything stands out and it's easy to tell if something is not right but it's not so with dogs of any other color. It's a shame that they've gotten so bad so far

    I spoke with the manager and he was a sweetheart. He listened to all of my concerns and even asked for feedback of what they could do differently in the future. I'm confident this was just a one off experience and that next time it'll be much better.

    I always feel at ease leaving my dog, Chloe, through Wag, and our most recent Memorial Day stay was no exception. Chloe absolutely loves staying there--it's like a little vacation for her while I'm out of town! When I picked her up, she was clean, happy, and even had her nails clipped, which was such a thoughtful touch. It's clear she's well cared for and comfortable. I really appreciate the updates and the genuine care given. Highly recommend!

    Long live doggy daycare! As a traveling pet mommy to a feisty little chihuahua, when I'm out of town it's important to know that my Babs is in safe and loving hands. So when I moved to Atlanta and had to find a new boarder/daycare, I wasn't too excited lol. Once you get comfortable with a team, you can struggle to find the same vibes or better elsewhere. Well, lucky me - I did! After looking through Yelp reviews for local pet boarders, I stumbled upon Wag. With boarding and daycare options, there was ample flexibility available for booking. I loved their super cute themed suites and the tiny dog suite section! Just because they can't verbalize it to us, doesn't mean that our dogs don't want the best! Understanding that, it's a real treat that I can add on goodies like a full grooming package, ice cream, extra sun time and more for my little baby while she's there. I'll be honest, when I dropped her off on her first visit, it was super late, I was exhausted and irritable and wasn't happy that I had to wait outside to check-in, despite them taking in my dog LOL. If was like 10pm and I am a small woman so I was a litttle iffy on that, BUT - BUT - when I saw that the front desk staff were all young women and I snapped out of it and immediately understood that it seemed to be a safety protocol. Good for you, Team Wag - safety first! When I picked her up from her last visit, the team seemed to just be happy to be at work (like, what a fun job!) and so happy to help! They gave me a report on my baby and it was the sweetest. While I was away, I even got to check out pics of my little one playing with her new friends via the Wag Facebook account! I loved that. :) I've definitely found the fun and safe place for my 4 legged sweetheart, thanks Wag!

    I've coming here off and on for about 7 year, if your pup is looking for a good time and to come home pooped ( not real ), this is the place to come. in addition they always have all type of fun activitie/ parties for holidays

    My dogs - featured on Wag Atlanta's website (at least until they read this review I guess)
    David C.

    I really hate to leave this review but I've reached my breaking point. I have been going to Wag for almost five years with multiple dogs (basically since they have been open), but they have just changed so much and all for the worse. No matter how many times I go in the same week I almost never ever see the same employee twice. The turnover must be incredible. I could speculate as to why but I won't. Also, it seems like they are being forced into hiring less and less experienced people in their first or second jobs which maybe isn't necessarily the best idea when you're working so closely with people's furry friends. And it seems to be pretty much unsupervised work in a very non-transparent setting. They really should have a member of senior staff on duty 24hrs. I know that no one wants to work overnights but there must be a better way than leaving those kids unsupervised with people's pets. This is a care business after all, and when it seems like they don't care about you as a customer it's hard to believe they care any more about your dogs- who can't speak up and complain. It's also noticeable that many of the negative reviews are from long long time customers not just people who've gone a couple of times and had something go wrong and just got on the internet to complain. I never write reviews but I felt very strongly about this one. The one thing I haven't found at any other daycare though is being open 24 hours. I guess that's why I stayed as long as I did even though I had more and more doubts. I will add that the smell people refer to in other reviews is ammonia. They use it to clean out the kennels. Then the dogs lay in it because they don't dry them out or rinse them down. No big deal I guess but it does stink sometimes.

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.

    If I could give ZERO I would...BEWARE! Please take your dog…read moreanywhere but here. We signed our puppy up for a 2 week board and train hopeful to get her to walk on a leash better. She had a lot of energy and wanted to play with everyone. She was a regular at doggy daycare and never had any issues or reactivity. Everyone loved her. We worked on basic commands at home, but leash pulling and distractions were an issue. After reading reviews and the 100% guarantee spiel, we dropped our girl off with high hopes. I emailed to check in on Zura, we were told we would get updates daily, and I do not feel the trainer was very professional. Several times he sounded too busy, or was out doing other things. 2 long weeks later, we picked up our pup and I was shocked. She was extremely underweight and came home acting off. She seemed nervous and unsettled. The trainer sent snippets of videos everyday and I asked what our dog was doing the rest of the time, I never got a response. My husband reached out to the trainer and the owner and they gave this speech about her adjusting and being consistent. The day after she came home, my husband took her on walk and she freaked out. She was screaming and was super anxious. Naturally we contacted the owner and at first she was extremely condensing and unprofessional. She yelled at me and implied I didn't know what I was talking about. I have actively rescued and rehabilitated dogs for the past 20 years. This is the first time I had ever outsourced training due to health issues. After a heated conversation she decided that "She wasn't happy with our dogs board and train and she would like to take her for a week". JoAnne had our dog for 4 days. Our dog came home with welts on her neck (both sides) from the shock collar and a scab on her back leg. We took her to the vet and she stated that it looked like our pet had been mistreated. Our dog seemed very high strung and agitated. I would take the ecollar off at night or when she was in her kennel, and she was very reluctant and skittish when I tried to put it back on. The trainer told my husband if our dog wasn't listening to turn up the number on the ecollar. It didn't work, it just made our dog panic. When we first started training, we asked about the ecollar and how high it got. They said it was like a tens unit, and didn't hurt them. That is not true. They turn it up very high and told us to do the same. Our dog left to the board and train a goofy puppy and came back extremely fearful and anxious. Our dog had been crate trained since she was 10 weeks old. After her board and train, she started screaming in the crate, and digging at her bed. She also had several accidents in the crate, she had never displayed that behavior before. My heart was broken for our girl. I reached out to a K9 Behavioral Specialist and after assessing our dog, they agreed that our dog had been mistreated. She associated the ecollar with punishments' rather than positive reinforcement. This place does not care about the wellbeing of your dog, they care about money. It is a franchise, and perhaps they have some locations and trainers who actually know what they are doing, but not here. After everything, there was zero chance we were taking our dog back to them and expressed this to Bryan and JoAnne, she stated "your dog will never be off leash, your are going to have to accept that." I challenged the 100% guarantee and requested a refund. We never heard from them again. The guarantee is not real. They never apologized or showed any concern or empathy for our dog. I have several videos that they provided while she was at training that are uncomfortable to watch. They try to conceal the shocker in their hand while filming, but if you pay close attention, you could tell our dog was constantly being shocked to comply. Please take your pet elsewhere. We entrusted our girl to their care and it is the biggest mistake I have ever made. It changed her completely. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMAL HERE! Video of Zura after picking her up.

It's nice to have that kind of back-up support. I highly recommend OLk9 for any dog.
