DAWG Pet Care and Training

What a wonderful place. Full of caring, terrific people who took great care of my little monster Alice the Cat

Fantastic, attentive staff. Beautiful grooming on our goldendoodle! Thank you Linda, you’re a gem!

You always take good care of the dogs. We have had some bad experiences elsewhere nice to have someone who actually cares about what they do and how the dogs are. You guys rock.

Bernadette and the trainers that work with her are truly exceptional people. Very thankful we found her. You can't find a better, more giving human! We were struggling with our extremely high-energy, fear-reactive border collie and she gave us so many tools that served us well. I have never had a better trained dog and this is thanks to all she taught us.

Macaroni looks amazing! It’s not an easy task grooming a tri paw but he has never looked better. Thank you Adrianna, we will be back!

Our dog Gus had a wonderful experience with the groomers at DAWG pet care. The groomers were friendly, patient and efficient. I will definitely be back. PS. Gus is a Saint Bernard sooo it was a big job! He smells so good now

So good to reconnect with this amazing groomer. She used to groom a previous dog of mine and I hadn't seen her since he passed. He could be a challenge and this new pup is similar. A two year old, poorly trained rescue, that needed a stripping, not a clip and Linda did an amazing job in 3 hours. She has a gift with both grooming and with handling dogs. We'll be back.

I take my dog there for grooming, and Linda always does an amazing job. My dog always comes out so happy and looking fresh. Linda is always so sweet, and great with my dog! If you need a fantastic groomer, this is the place to go!

We took dog training courses for our dog Lucky, amazing! We learned so much. We also get our dog groomed there every month, excellent service and quality.

Bedllington terriers are a difficult groom but Linda does an amazing job with both Lia and Rio. Love dealing with Linda, Bernadetter and Dave. True professionals.

Really enjoyed our classes with our new pup Winnie.
Bernadette is so knowledgeable and gave us great excercises to work on, and the small class size ensured we could build on the skills we acquired. Thankyou Bernadette.looking forward to some of the other classes!

We recently finished 8 weeks of puppy classes with Dawg Academy. We learned so much and had fun doing the classes. We were taught basic needs when having a puppy so they don't cause any difficulties for others that meet them. Bernadette is a very knowledgeable trainer and made it all fun. You go for the first time with apprehension but are soon made to be at ease. Everyone is in the same situation. A new pup. OMG! How do I manage it and how is it going to do what it is told. These and many other things are taught at the classes. Any questions are answered to address personal situations too.
A thoroughly enjoyable time.
Thank you Bernadette

Amazing experience! Highly recommend Dawg training to any dog owner. A big improvement in our puppy in a short amount of training time. Bernadette was very friendly, knowledgeable and super with all dog breeds and sizes.

Bernadette is wonderful and kind with the dogs and their people! She addresses specific issues with each person's dog, provides valuable feedback, and has comprehensive lessons complete with written materials. I highly recommend her!

Best Groomer in the Nanaimo area. I've been using them since 2015 and I've always been pleased with their work.

Thank you so much for fitting us in a cancellation before Christmas the kitties look absolutely amazing.fur is soft and silky. They are prancing around. You are awesome

Linda provided a professional groom for our cat. He looks and smells amazing! Easy to book online and a smooth, friendly drop off and pick process.

I have taken my two Springer Spaniels to this groomer twice now and have to say it's the best grooming they have every had. The attention to detail around their ears and feet is incredible. They are very kind and compassionate and handle my emotional, goofy Springer people just right. I will definitely use them in the future.

Love your dog grooming and classes!
Best place ever for our pooch!
Highly recommended!

Bernadette is so knowledgeable. She is patient and provides many fun ways to teach your puppy new skills. I would definitely recommend her classes.

I really like the service and the attention to detail that my dogs receive. I know they are well looked after and are in good hands. I I have 3 poodles and they always look fantastic afterwards.

Love Love this group, we have been taking our dogs to them for years and never an unhappy moment.

Linda is very professional and knowledgeable. All our pets have been going to her for many years. She’s very thorough and knows how to handle our nervous dogs. Been through some of her training classes too.
We and our pets thank you!

Linda has the “magic touch” and is extremely knowledgeable and kind to our “fur babies”. I would highly recommend using her services.

Our little guys love comming here and Linda does a great job grooming them wouldnt go anywhere else!

Over the course of the last 18 years, Bernadette and Linda have been grooming our dogs. They are both extremely professional and knowledgable about dogs, and our dogs have all had an excellent experience with them. Since they are both also dog trainers, they know how to gently reassure dogs who may be stressed. Our dogs come home happy and well groomed every time!
