What Reviews Say
106 reviews analyzedWorkindoggz is overwhelmingly positively reviewed with 92% 5-star ratings. The standout feature is trainer Ria, who receives exceptional praise for transforming dog behavior through patient, knowledgeable training. The facility excels in communication, sending daily report cards with photos and videos that customers love. However, there are two serious red flags: a dog bite incident during boarding with no owner notification, and a grooming error where a dog was incorrectly shaved using wrong-year notes. Customer service at the front desk is mixed, with one staff member (Marie) receiving both highly positive and strongly negative reviews. The lack of outdoor space is occasionally noted as a drawback. Most customers are repeat visitors who appreciate the personalized care and fair pricing.

Worth noting
Dog bitten while boarding - owner given no notice
“dog was bitten while boarding and owner was given no notice. Unprofessional”
Grooming error - dog shaved incorrectly using wrong year notes
“they shaved him!!! There's no way my boy is matted because we brush him every single night... The staff even admitted he wasn't matted and that they based what they did (shaved) from their 2022 notes about Biscuit. My boy was born 2023, where the heck did they get those 2022 notes?”
Front desk staff (Marie) consistently rude and dismissive
“she rolled her eyes, looked at her nails, and acted as if I was a nuisance”
Front desk customer service (Marie)
“Marie has treated me horribly for no reason... Her attitude is consistently rude, dismissive, and unprofessional”
Grooming quality inconsistency(2 mentions)
“The first and second sessions had uneven cuts... The groom was very uneven, and my dog's fur didn't feel like he had even been bathed”
Nail trimming errors
“They did a terrible job and missed 3 nails. I guess no one there can count.”
