At this time we are unfortunately discontinuing the puppy orientation due to scheduling conflicts. Our industry has gotten extremely busy out of no where, and scheduling appt could be a couple months wait. We are hoping things calm down soon so we can bring back this great program. We offer a great program for little ones, to get them use to the grooming experience. This is a 4 week program. Puppy must have had their 2 distemper shot. Puppies that are 6 months or older are not eligible for this program.

My 1st time to a groomer with my new Maltipoo puppy just 3 months old. Dawn was wonderful and she did a great job. Gracie Mae, seemed to be happy and Dawn said she did well. We will be using her for all our grooming needs and I highly recommend her.

I took my puppy here for a trim when he was a few months old- I was slightly turned off by the aesthetic of the building. So when my dog needed his first real hair cut I wanted to spare no expense- took him to a boujee pet salon- paid more than I do for my own salon treatments.and when I picked him up, I left in tears. My puppy looked terrible and was shaking non stop. Needless to say, I humbly went back to the Doghouse when he needed his 2nd cut. Dawn got all his mats out- he is not shaken up when we pick him, she understands what I want- even if I'm not correctly articulating.

And my dog looks GREAT! Will continue to come here for all my grooming needs. And I will never judge a book by its cover again- it's what is on the inside that matters! Lesson learned.

On our third visit to have our pomeranian groomed, they kept our little boy for two hours. After waiting in the car, I went in to determine why it was taking so long. When I went in, the groomer had.my dog on the table as if she was just finishing up. The groomer only trimmed around his butt! No otherwa part of our dog was trimmed. Wil never take our dog there again! Can't trust them.

Dawn and her mother are always so friendly. They have always done a great job on my dogs. Nikki looked especially cute when I picked her up today! Thanks for a beautiful job on my little one!

We took our 2 dogs here for the first time and have found our new groomer. Our dogs look the best they ever have. Our puppy had a bad experience at our former groomer and I was worried how he would react, but Dog House was professional and able to groom every part of him. The both look amazing!

I've been taking multiple dogs here for years. The rates are very reasonable and my dogs are calm and happy when I get them back, not stressed. Unlike chain pets stores, you will always have the same groomer, very reassuring! I highly recommend this business!

Thank you Dawn for the great haircuts you do for my 4 dogs and 1 for my daughters dogs. They always look good and smell good. I pick them up, they are always in a great mood. When I get home they sleep.

I LOVE the Dog House! We take our german short hair pointer and our golden retriever there and they do a fantastic dog. I know my dogs are being treated well when they are there and always are well groomed. The two ladies are so fantastic and you can tell they love their job! I highly recommend this groomer.

The Dog House is one of the best grooming salons I have ever experienced. My dog has been there every five weeks for grooming for the last seven years. Dawn does an excellent job and is always done on time and is very caring. I have tried other salons and they cannot compare to The Dog House. Also, her rates are much more reasonable than other dog grooming establishments.

I highly recommend going to the doghouse! My dogs have been going to Dawn over 2 years. They come back happy, clean, well groomed, and they smell so good. I love the idea of a family owned business. I have recommyended my friends and family to Dawn. If you were looking for an amazing place to treat your fur baby for a great cut, you need to go to the doghouse. You will not regret it! Thank you, Dawn Vicky Kutt

Dawn has groomed our cocker spaniels twice a month for the last 13 years. She has a great eye for detail and cares about the well being of our dogs. Our dogs are always excited when we pull into the parking lot and practically pull is into the building.

Dawn does a wonderfull job we have had her for many years.she is very nice and works very hard.she has found a couple issues on my dog ( lump by his ear) and I took him to vet right away which required surgery. I would have never noticed it. I would reccomend her to anyone with a dog that needs grooming! Thank you Tom and Louise ( and Charlie)

Dirty. Unfriendly. Hacked up my dogs coat without calling and asking what I'd like to do with a matt. They advertise $20! Per hour or half hour for de-matting. Well their method of de-matting is shaving it off leaving a kind of pothole in her coat. Didn't ask for any immunization proof. My dogs coat looks hacked. NEVER AGAIN

The women at the Dog House are amazing with my dog. We started taking my new puppy there withing 2 months of getting him for their "Puppy Package". They always take such good care of my dog, and he comes back looking exactly the way I ask every time. They are also great about calling us if they have cancellations and fitting him in so we don't have to wait the two weeks for an appointment (thought it's definitely worth the wait!)
