Hal Wheeler’s Canine Beauty Salon

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we needed to board our 2 cats ASAP for a weekend. I was referred to Hal Wheeler’s by my vet’s office. I was very happy to know they could take the cats in, even though it was pretty last minute. The Kitty Suites were spacious and my cats were able to play together during the day (they were separated for feedings so food intake could be monitored).
The pricing is a little on the expensive side, especially if you wanted to add play sessions and bring your own food. But they do clearly state the costs beforehand (and everything is listed on the website) so you know exactly what you are paying for.
When we picked up the cats, everything went quick and easy, and we received a report card on their stay. I will most likely use Hal Wheeler’s again as I know I can count on great service!

I have been using Hal Wheelers for over 14 years and always have had a positive experience. I find the staff to be caring and friendly and very good to both my dogs.
Mike worked to train my two schnoodles and they always remember him when we board them.
I highly recommend this business.

We have an 8 month old German Shepard mixed with Rottweiler. We’ve been training her at home, but thought it would be a good idea to have a few one on one training sessions to assist in breaking a few habits (we’ve been struggling with potty training, and she’s still teething a little). So we signed up for the private lessons. Mike took one look at her and refused to work with her, stating that she was a pitbull mix. Now, I understand that his insurance doesn’t cover pits (Even though she isn’t a pitbull). But the way he acted towards us and to her was completely unprofessional. The way he talked about the breed showed an absolute intolerance. He told us that she would BITE us. That she could turn at any moment. She would be difficult to train and she would attack anything and anyone, never mind the fact we have 2 cats at home that terrorize her. She’s even terrified of the neighborhood bichon frise named Snowball! He did offer to give us a few pointers and a pamphlet of information, but it wasn’t any new information. Around this time, one of the dogs he had been boarding was being picked up by their owner. Our Pandora was sitting/​standing there patiently waiting. This other dog bounded over to her until they were nose to nose. Pandora sat there, curious, but didn’t bark or jump. The other dog was all over her, until Mike intervened. He told the other owner, «That’s not a good idea.» and «They’ll fight». I was honestly disgusted with our short experience here, and would have expected a good trainer to behave in a much more tolerable and professional manner. I’m actually very very glad we did not have such a person training our sweet girl.

My parents have brought our dog here for years. The environment is very welcoming and our dog is excited to go here whenever we leave on vacation or bring her in for training.

Excellent place to board your dog. Our 13-​pound maltese/​poodle has stayed at Hal Wheeler’s several times — they have a separate area for smaller dogs, and can provide walks, grooming, etc. — also great about handling special foods, dog bed, toys and such. The owner and staff are very, very willing to address any concerns and always make sure that both dog and owner are perfectly satisfied when the stay is over. These folks are real pros.

This is a great place to board your dog or get them trained. I have a 165 lb english mastiff that I took there for training and he has been so well behaved thanks to mike! I am constantly getting complimented at how well my dog behaves especially when he is off the leash. I would highly recommend Hal wheelers. My dog is my baby, and I can go on vacation and rest assured he is well taken care of when I have him boarded.

I’ve been using Hal Wheeler’s for 15+ years and have had all positive experiences. I was surprised to see that they have negative reviews on Unilocal so I wanted to share my experience. I’ve taken many of my dogs here over the years for boarding and grooming and only have great things to say.
They have staff on site 24/​7, and are very concerned that my dogs are safe and happy while they’re there. If I ever have a problem, they always take care of me and respond when I call to see how my dogs are doing. Their groomers are experienced and I’ve been using the same woman for over 10 years!
They have great staff and I will continue to use Hal Wheelers in the future for all of my boarding/​grooming needs.

We’ll they won’t take my dog cause he’s a American Bully. Place is picky about who’s dog they take in, I find it strange their not open Sundays do who feeds the dogs and walk them? Isn’t that what you pay them for? I also found the woman to be very rude once she found out what kind of dog I had her whole attitude changed, I believe big dogs and little dogs deserve the same fair shake

The worst experience i have ever had with a dog kennel. They gave my poor dog back to me with a bloody nose and feces all over her backside. I get that she was nervous but the fact that they didn’t do anything to clean it up just unravels me.
Pathetic excuse of a manager offered to give me half off on a grooming. Will never even think to consider this establishment. They showed no lack of concern for their mistakes nor did they make any effort to amend them in any way. DON’T go to this establishment!

I love this facility. Have been boarding and grooming my dogs there for over 25 years. My children who are grown are now using Hals. My dogs are happy, healthy and clean there.
