Introduction

My dog training and grooming shop is located in Gastonia NC. I have Dog Training and enrichment building where you can bring your dog for agility training, one-on-one personal training, group training or to host dog birthday parties. I am a graduate of the Animal Behavior College (and a current mentor for future dog training students from the college). for dog training and a graduate of the New York School of Dog Grooming. My career began over 30 years ago with dog training and 15 years ago with grooming. I LOVE dogs and have a passion in my profession. My staff and I strive for the best results possible in every situation. Being an owner operator of my own company means I get to enjoy every aspect of customer interaction. Exceeding my customers expectations is crucial to my business development. My prices are fair and very affordable. My methods are simple and easy to follow. My goal is to help owners bridge the communication gap with their dogs and make training fun! My shop offers, “after hours” grooming till 8pm. All grooming is by appointment only. I typically only work on one dog at a time. My boarding rates are very affordable! We charge $35 a night. I only have room for 8-10 boarding dogs at a time. They are kenneled, not crated! Working with dogs is relaxing to me. I get a lot of satisfaction when the dog owner see their pet after I'm done grooming. With dog training...,I like to see the owners begin to enjoy their dogs again. Training is easy to do, once I show owners how.

Will is a true dog lover and it felt right to work with Dog Pro Services, even though he’s located 30 mins from my home. I signed up my 10-week old Cane Corso l, Duke Ellington, for the 2-week boarding program. It was one of the best investments I made in 2023. Duke is an absolute show stopper in public due to how well behaved he is at just 12 weeks old. He learned the following commands in just two weeks: sit, stay, wait, and heel, along with name recognition. I’m putting in the additional work Will assigned me to reinforce what Duke learned. I’m looking forward to the a solid ongoing training relationship between Will and Duke.

I took my Frenchie to stay with them for a week. They took great care of my dog, and I was very happy! I will use them again for sure. He got several walks each day and he also got play time a few times a day. I’m very pleased with everything!

Will was great with us and our dogs! We rescued a GSD and needed to integrate her to our pack. It took a while but things are getting there! Will has a great knowledge of dogs and this helped us to understand our rescue better.

I can’t say enough great things about Will and his work with my 2-year-old beagle mix, Robin. I was unable to train him the way he deserved due to an increasingly distributive chronic condition, and knew I needed some help, for his sake and mine. Will was kind and nonjudgmental, quick to facilitate the initial connection and answer any and all questions. While I just picked Robin up from his two-week overnight training, I can already see a marked positive change in his behavior and confidence around my home. I feel like a miracle has been worked! I was also so grateful for Will’s willingness to jot only provide pictures and videos of Robin’s progress during his stay upon request, but also take the time during pickup to go over methodology, breed-specific training insights, and procedures to use at home to ensure Robin’s new disciplines become cemented, as well as answer any questions and even give product suggestions. This time was so valuable and only further proved that this was money well-spent, because his ideas were so ingeniously tailored to Robin, his personality and his breed, that I would never have thought of them on my own. I look forward to taking advantage of the two additional training sessions Will offers as part of the package. Pricing is MORE than fair. Will is an exceptional trainer with vast knowledge and an approachability that made this experience a pleasure.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For grooming, I like to know about previous grooming information. Did the dog behave for the groomer? Was the customer satisfied with the groom? Did the previous groomer produced the desired outcome groom as discussed beforehand with the owner? As far as for training, I like to assess the dog in a natural environment and listen to the customer to find out what they are looking to change. With the client input, together we come up with a training schedule that addresses clients concerns.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a graduate of the New York School of Dog Grooming as well as a graduate of the Animal Behavior College. Ive worked with dogs for over 25 years.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My mother introduced me to the love of dogs. She inspired me to learn all that I could. I volunteered at my local SPCA for awhile and just couldnt get enough of the interactions between man and canine. I purchased an existing pet shop over a decade ago and fulfilled my dream of becoming a dog groomer.
