"This review is only for the store aspect; I have no idea what the grooming is like.\n\nStopped in today to check out their collar/leash selection. I am now the proud parent of a German Shepherd pup and wanted a nice sturdy leather set that would last several years.\n\nThe store is tucked into Old Town Scottsdale, and really beautifully decorated inside. They have a dog gate up at the door, so pups can run about inside (and a gate is a good idea anyway for any grooming parlor). 3 girls were working, all pleasant. \n\nThe blonde was very helpful; she went sorting through all the collars, trying to find one that would fit but allow growth room and wasn't too girly (Nately is a boy dog, gosh darnit, no rhinestones needed!). She had personal preferences from her own large puppy and was knowledgeable about the different brands and how they would wear over time.\nI was impressed at the fact that she wasn't pushy; I'm used to Scottsdale sales clerks being like used car salesmen. Nope! I was hesitant, since the collars are very pricey ($65-$110), and while I have no qualms about paying that much for a good quality one that will last his whole life, I have no idea what size he needs as an adult. I explained to her that he is a rescue, and we can only guess at his age and how much he'll grow, and instead of just selling me a smaller collar, she suggested I buy a cheap nylon one now, and bring him in in a few months when he is mostly grown, and they would size him/custom order one if needed.\n\nThey also had a lot of cute dog treats and toys, all healthy stuff. I also really liked that the grooming area appeared to be completely see-through - my mom is a groomer and that is a big plus to her when a shop has nothing to hide.\n\nWe shall return!"^^ .
