Wonderful bunch of people. They don't treat your dog like cattle. They treat them with love. I've been to other places. I'll never do it again.

I had really high hopes for Gemini Dogs grooming services. I used grooming for the first time last week and it was really disappointing I sent my 2 Goldens there and asked for thinned out golden ears on both dogs with neat feet and lightly trimmed bums and unfortunately neither of my dogs had any hair cut off from them and when I picked them up they were both still wet which totally stinks because when they are not blown out all the way they just shed like crazy a week later which is what's happening now.
We used Brianna for grooming and I understand she's still new at it but for the price I expected dry dogs and trimmed up dogs that look groomed. They were ready in a short 2 hours which kind of explains the lack of putting any care into their groom.

We just started private nose work and manners training with Jenn McCann at our house for our three dogs. I highly highly recommend this experience. Jenn is patient and caring with a ton of experience. This is a great sport which makes the dog think and work with their natural abilities. Reactive dogs are welcome. Our dogs received individual attention and it's very affordable for a multi-dog household.

My great Dane LOVES this place. And the owners and staff love her. She always goes into the office area when we arrive in the morning so she can say hi to the staff. They all come out to greet her. She comes home tired and happy.
