Is there an option for NO stars?! Just picked our dog up after boarding for the first time and after just 4 days he (and all his things!) is SOAKED in urine. Had to give him a bath immediately. Wonder what state your dog would be in if you picked them up early? We tried to give a heads up but no one answered the phone after many tries. Now we are thankful to know how they are really treating pets. Water ran brown from urine for 2 shampoos once we got our sweet boy home. Will certainly not be going back!! Tried to call and speak to someone and was placed on hold twice for >9 minutes before I hung up and left a voice mail.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We've been boarding our dog there for 2.5 years for short and longer stays and each time it's been super easy. My kids and I love the web cam to watch him play with the other dogs. Definitely recommend it.

We have an 8 yr old pit that my son rescued when she was 3 mos old. She is very active - loves to go on long walks and run at the park. She understood basic commands but was becomming more difficult for me to handle both on walks and around other dogs. She has been at day care at Bark & Board for a number of years and we love the care and love the folks there give us.I started her in training a month or so ago with Craig, first by herself and now in private lessons with me. Craig is amazing. He has shown us that it isn't about your dominance over the dog but establishing control through obedience and learning your dogs behavior, responses and reactions. Not aggressiveness, but focus and communication. It is taking a lot of practice and repetition. But, as Craig suggested, we always end our training session on a good note! In his book, Cynology for Dummies, Craig explains a great deal around his method of training and why it is so effective. I recommend it to everyone who has a dog! While we are still in training, we have seen incredible improvement in her obedience. Thank you, Craig! And go read his book!

Since moving close to the Brookhaven location I haven’t taken my dog anywhere else. Jessica is great with grooming our St Barnard! The team is friendly and great with your fur babies.

Here's the scenario: I dropped my dogs off at 1010 for grooming. 1 of them has anxiety and takes sedation meds. I timed them appropriately for a 10am groom. I called at 4pm and they weren't ready. They gave me an estimated time to be ready by 6 (8hr after drop off). I asked what the difference between 10am and noon drop off and she said she didn't know. We live 30min away so we left in time to be there by 6. At 6, they still weren't ready. They informed my husband that 10am was a drop off time and not an appt time and they would *likely* be done by 7. And, if we wanted them to be done as a priority, I would have to pay and additional $25/dog. This is crazy to me. Other groomers take 4hr to groom my dogs (maybe 6 if they're slammed). If I drop them off at 10 they're ready by 2-4. If I'd known there was no difference between 10 and noon I would have dropped them later. Instead, they got to sit in a crate longer and the meds probably wore off before she was done being groomed (they had definitely worn off by the time she got home). I'm not planning on returning to this facility.

I had a very good visitation with, Craig, one of the dog trainers here. I have to say that this is my second time working with Craig. I was first introduced to him two years ago, and since I just acquired a puppy that is going to be a protection dog, I knew no one else to call, but knew I needed to call him again to get the job done. We met today so he could show me how to walk with my pup on a leash. He is needed for that alone if you are having trouble in that area. I recently tried to leash my pup, but she acted as if she was a horse, and I was using a lasso to get her attention. By the end of the meeting, my pup was able to be on the leash with no problem. She sat very attentive and quiet with Craig when we went back inside to rest, and this is my aim for her behavior moving forward. Today was her first time out seeing the public from her view other than my yard, and she was pleased. She not quite three months old, but I will continue to use these services to get my pup doing what I need her to do to be the protector I know that Craig can make her be. Craig’s passion for his job is felt throughout the interaction, and you’ll be pleased each time you go and see him. He definitely was born to do what he does. Welcome the “dog whisperer” from the greater Atlanta area to help with your canine needs.

Bark and Board are great! We have been taking our puppy Peach for about 2 months now and she loves it! The employees there are so nice and they are all great with Peach greeting her with such big smiles! Even when I had certain concerns and requests for how to groom my dog they have always been pretty accurate and make sure to relay those instructions over to the groomer.We also have our puppy doing training with one of the trainers - Craig, who is incredible! His approach and style is very professional and knew exactly what our puppy and we needed to train her well, she has been doing great so far and we will continue with his services! The one thing we liked was he was focused on training us as well and helping us understand what Peach needs, her behaviour and how to train her correctly! I have been to many trainers before and Craig is at the top of our list, he doesn't fluff anything, he is very patient with Peach and us as well and is always willing to answer any questions or concerns we had. Peach loves Craig and so do we! Thanks for being great!!!

My dog loved his first time at bark and board! I wish I got him going here sooner. He came home exhausted from so much playing but very happy and well taken care of. Everyone at bark and board was very helpful as well since it was my first time coming here. I already know he is excited to go again. It’s also very comforting to me knowing he is in good hands!

I had the pleasure of working with Craig at Bark and Board Brookhaven. I cannot recommend him highly enough! Craig's approach was exactly what my puppy and I needed to build a strong and healthy relationship. I appreciated his focus on training the "owner" and not the dog - the dog is NEVER the problem <3. He quickly assessed my puppy's needs and was able to customize a training program that addressed our specific issues (reactivity, obedience). Craig was patient, to the point, and always willing to answer any questions I had. He truly cares about his clients and their dogs, and it shows in his work.

Bark and Board is the. Best kept secret in dog grooming in ATL. The staff goes above and beyond and are very knowledgeable, grooming my 14 mo standard poodle is hard work! They are AFFORDABLY PRICED! And you don’t have to schedule 6 weeks in advance to barely hope for an appointment. In town groomers are so swamped that it’s very very difficult to find a good groomer that doesn’t cost a fortune that won’t put you on a waitlist! I drive here from Morningside and am happy to do so. I feel so lucky to have found them!

The staff are super friendly and seem genuinely happy to play with your pups. However, using this place for the first time I had serious sticker shock after picking up my dog. There was a $5/day premium fee that I wasn’t aware of (assume because it was between Christmas and New Year?) and a 2pm pick up time (we got there at 3) so we got charged an additional $30. All extras that were not communicated and certainly not clear for a first timer. I felt nickeled and dimed at Bark and Board Brookhaven and will not be using them again. The icing on the cake is you have to download an app and pay a monthly subscription to get access to their webcams. Be wary of these additional costs.
