I have two mixed breed dogs, both large and wiley. One is part-chow and old so she can be difficult. Both are long-haired and not easy to groom. The woman who runs this shop was super great to us. It took a bit longer than she estimated but mostly because they were in worse shape than I let on. The groomer was very hipster, reasonably priced, very patient and gentle with two dogs that sometimes can get a little frustrating.
I would go back in a heartbeat. She did a bang-up job on the two dogs, was very patient with all three of us, and is a cool little inde-local business owner that I'd happily support as long as these dogs are with me.
