We have two small dogs. A Pomeranian mix and an American Eskimo. My wife and I were first time dog owners and unfortunately due to our lack of experience we did not properly train our dogs to be model citizens. Both of our dogs acquired bad habits such as constant barking, dog/people aggression, leash pulling, biting, you name it they had it. I tried everything a new dog owner could possibly think of. I spent hundreds $$ of dollars on gadgets like sonic sound gizmos, shock collars, fancy leashes, and even had my fair share of rip-off dog trainers. If it wasnt for my dad one day stumbling upon the great dog whisperer Oscar.. I dont know where we would be today. We have been working with Oscar for the past 3 months and the difference in our dogs has been amazing! I always dreamed of meeting Cesar Milan when I would watch him on tv. Hoping that one day he would magically appear in my household and train my crazy dogs. But those dreams swept away when I met Oscar. This guy is the real deal with a deep compassion for animals. He is so good that sometimes my own dogs love him more than they love me haha! If you are frustrated, drained, and feel like giving up on your pet. Please visit Oscar, he will take care of you like family and he doesnt charge the cost of a down payment on a car like some other trainers. His wife rufina will also do a great job grooming your dogs. I have sent friends to her that have been denied at petsmart for "dog aggression" and she took care of them like a pro. Again I cant say enough great words for this company. If only they could come with me when I move to sunny st George.

We won a gift certificate here for free daycare at a local event and were excited to try it out. Our Corgi did fine the first two times he went here, and has always done well at daycares/boarding in the past. But on his third trip, I got a phone call saying he was bleeding and that the staff were unsure why but thought I should check it out. When I arrived it was clear he had been cut/bite, but the staff was unable to give me any info on how and his fluffy butt made it hard to check out the wound. The vet shaved him to show two large puncture marks on his butt and underside that she said were congruent with a large dogs bite (likely while our dog was in a submissive position). Several stitches and a large vet bill later that free daycare didnt seem so lucky anymore. I understand that things can happen. But my frustration with DogsRUs was that they werent supervising the animals closely enough to tell me what happened or arent screening agressive pets out of their services. Like many places, you sign a contract here saying youre responsible for your pets actions. But thats based on the premise that theyd be able to tell me which animal was responsible. Because they werent, and werent willing to contribute, I was out $300+ at the vet and had one sad, uncomfortable dog for a week. The owners solution: To offer a few more hours of free daycare. Not interested.

Horrible place all around. They should be closed down and not allowed to groom or board dogs. I have been there a few times when other people get their dogs back with bites on them, etc. We generally take our golden to get groomed and they seem to do a decent job. Todays experience was completely unprofessional. The owner, who is also the groomer was too busy to talk to my wife when we dropped off our 8 month old golden doodle. So, the person at the front desk took notes, supposedly. We specifically asked to keep our puppies hair nice and long for the winter to help her stay warm and because she looks adorable...we needed a minor trim and even provided a picture as an example. When we picked her up she was completely shaved! The owner was again too busy to talk with me and they offered me a free jacket for our puppy. I then called back when I got home and again the owner was too busy to talk to me. Worst of all the front desk staff were rude and kept saying they understood while also not allowing me to complete a sentence. Now my puppy looks like a 10 or 12 y/o dog and these are many months of puppy hair that were taken away from us. Worst of all they did not even do a good job of buzzing her hair as she has random patches of fur between her paws and chunks of hair taken out where they did leave it a bit longer. WTF!!!

I have been taking my dog here for years. 3 months ago my dog was groomed, $100 charge. He barely seemed like he had been washed & not clipped at all. We have been coming here for quite some time and the groomer did a great job, that time was not good. I chalked it up to the groomer having a bad day and let it slide. I was told the previous groomer quit and the manager had been doing the grooming. Yesterday, had him groomed with specific instruction on what needed to be done & to call with questions or problems. I picked him up and he was brought (conveniently) out of the back door COMPLETELY SHAVED. My dog is a Wooly Malamute/Husky, these dogs should not be shaved. I called multiple times, only to receive a return call stating the manager was "busy" and would not take my call. I was told I am a bad dog owner, insulted and told they had no choice but to shave him. If that is the case, WHICH IT IS NOT, that is my choice to make and not YOURS. My dog was at the vet 2 weeks ago for a procedure, teeth cleaning 2 weeks ago; and told that he is in great shape and a lovely dog, if he was in such bad shape that he had to be shaved, dont you think a vet would say something. HORRIBLE business owner/not accountable for his actions.

I brought my dog here to be groomed. I dropped him off at 8:15 AM with the promise that they would call me when he was done. I did not receive a call, I came in at 5:30 PM and they said they were just finishing up. The groomer came up front to complain about my dog because he had nipped her. She said he was very matted and she had to shave most of him. She said he couldnt handle brushing so she just shaved him. I had his teeth cleaned at a no anesthetic clinic 2 weeks prior and they had no problems with him even writing "Great Dog" on the invoice. He trusts people and will stand there and let you take care of him. If he is mistreated he will get annoyed. I think she left him till last and tried to rush through the job and was rough with him. I also found a cut on the top of his paw from the clippers. The groomer said to me when I picked him up that he cannot tolerate brushing and I might as well not bother getting him groomed because he is old. Great solution lady, you are a true professional. I plan on taking my business elsewhere.

Oscar and Rufina have worked with my two golden retrievers since they were 9 weeks old and will be 1 in August. I am excited they have opened K9 Behavior Ut. Oscar picks up/drops off the pups as they go to daycare 3 times a week. When at daycare, they learn how to socialize with other dogs. They are trained how to behave on/off leash. Walked with a bike/scooter and taken to the park to interact with strangers. They go to Home Depot to understand loud sounds and keep their mental side stimulated. Oscar has done an amazing job training these two! Not only are the dogs being trained, Oscar has helped us understand how to train so we all can be a team raising them. I have them groomed once a month here. They always smell amazing and they keep them to the traditional look of a golden. I have boarded the pups with them for 7 days and it was reasonable pricing. I felt comfortable leaving them and when I picked them up, they didnt want to come home with me. They had so much fun!
