Training experience was 100% positive. Straight to the point not trying to sell you a fluff of training corses, ask them for what you want your dog to do or how you want them to behave and it happens. A person below noted a plastic spike collar used to train dogs, all dog trainers I spoke to prior to finding woofbeach in area use a metal prong collar for training most of the time. Bottom line great people and easy to work with. 11 month golden doodle trained perfectly to behave in any setting. Thanks Woofbeach

If you are looking to make an informed decision on where to get your dog trained, do not listen to the employees at Woof Beach. DON'T TRUST WOOF BEACH! We took our dog for training and asked several times what their training techniques were like. They avoided giving details about their training to the point of deception. We trusted Woof Beach, but after 5 weeks of training we went for our private consultation, we finally learned that they were using a spiked choke collar on our dog which we had no idea was being used.
I think they care more about selling the training than they do about letting customers make an informed decision. My wife and I feel that Woof Beach deceived us and took our money. I will never trust them and will never take our dog there for any reason. Added photos so anyone reading this review can make an INFORMED decision about their dog's training

We did basic training with Woofbeach and we're very pleased! The trainers were so professional and nice and our dog Ziggy responded so well to their training techniques. We are currently in advanced training with Jim and he is our favorite! He knows how to teach us how to train our dog which is a little difficult sometimes. We are actually taking our new puppy to Woofbeach (and Jim) because we are so pleased. I would highly recommend Woofbeach to anyone who wants to be able to take the training that they taught the dogs, to be able to do it themselves!

Have been coming to Woofbeach for the past 8 years. One time they didn't have the clippers charged and totally messed up my dogs nails because they manually clipped them. They were jagged and bloody. But because it was a one off kind of thing, I came back. Today I was running 15 minutes late and was made to wait another 5 minutes when a groomer came up and said that Chrissy would not see me today because I was late.
They have a 15 minute policy. And since I was made to wait 5 minutes, it was now 20 minutes late. I asked to talk to Chrissy and was told that she was still bathing another dog and couldn't talk to me. So if I was made to wait and the scheduled groomer was in back bathing a dog at that time, why did she cancel my appointment? I find this very unprofessional! I will NEVER return to this place!

I am so pleased I brought my four month old male golden retriever here! He's 14 months now and I have since referred two additional families here whom are just as happy as I am. The amount of compliments I get on my dog are truly remarkable. Alek, Taylor and the whole grooming squad are worth every penny invested. I can't thank them enough or spread the word enough. Stop looking elsewhere and bring your pup here now.

Great place. The moment I waked in, they remembered my Daisy and asked if I wanted a nail trim. Yup. That's what I wanted. Done and done. Great people and great customer service.

Went in for a nail trim and he got a bath too. Friendly staff and quick service. No appointment needed for the nails!
