Most customers report consistently good grooming work and staff who treat dogs like their own, with dogs eager to return. A significant minority praise the experience over years of visits. However, two recent reviews document serious issues: one grooming that drastically missed style requests without consultation, and another resulting in bleeding wounds, hot spots, and urgent vet care traced to harsh products.

All-Star Dog Training

4.9(354)✓ Google-verified

Owners consistently report dramatic behavioral transformations after programs ranging from 4 to 15 days, with dogs becoming confident, responsive learners. Staff invest heavily in teaching owners the techniques themselves, using methods like gentle e-collar introduction and place command practice that stick long after training ends. The facility builds relationships that keep dogs eager to return. Reviewers highlight Michael's leadership, named trainers like Madison and Rebekah, daily video updates during board-and-train stays, and group classes for ongoing support. Dogs with rescue anxiety, reactivity, or fear-based issues often show the most dramatic gains.

Primrose School of Apex

Primrose School of Apex

4.3(54)✓ Google-verified

Parents describe a school where children thrive through intentional curriculum and genuinely caring teachers. Staff celebrate milestones, communicate daily with families through photos and updates, and create a sense of belonging that keeps kids eager to return. Teachers support developmental readiness (potty training, letter recognition) and smooth transitions across age groups, from infants through pre-K. One visitor felt the tour was dismissive and noted cramped rooms and pricing concerns, though this dissented from the strong majority experience. The school's Transitional Kindergarten program and themed enrichment (music, art, sports) appear tailored to prepare children for formal schooling. Named staff like Ms. Swasti and owner Kerry are credited with going above and beyond. Clean facilities, consistent staffing, and regular community events build trust. Families report kindergarten teachers remarking on how well-prepared Primrose graduates are.
