Thank you Armand for coming out to our home to help with the meet & greet between our new puppy and Odin. After 2 crazy days of no sleep, Odin not accepting
her and me thinking of giving up, in you stride and sorted them out. They love running around playing, sharing snacks and toys. So amazing seeing them settled.
Thank you for all your help, advise and support. See you soon for puppy classes

The service i received from Armand was above and beyond. Struggled with so many trainers ect. He sorted my very aggressive reactive dog very quickly. From me being terrified to taking my dog out, to now having beach days, long walks just the 2 of us and im finally happy to say my best friend is able to share beautiful moments in nature with me. Was not easy but i was shown every step of the way what to expect and how to deal with it. Forever greatful. More...

What an amazing experience and service. I have struggled with my Pomeranians' hair for very long and Armand Grooming after the first time got her in the best condition! Not going anywhere else ever again! More...

Armand is extremely intuitive when it comes to dogs. He came to our home to help with our latest anxious rescue and gave us some brilliant ideas and tools to help her. I also took her to Armand to have her nails cut as the vet could only cut 2 nails in 45 minutes. He was so calm and dogs really respond well to him. Within 5 minutes him and his assistant had cut all her nails and she was not traumatized in any way. I would definitely recommend Armand for any of your doggie needs. More...

My dog and I had such amazing encounter today. From the pick up which was challenging, Chows and leashes are not really friends, my rescue was not leash trained. I am absolutely elated and grateful for the amazing service. Your grooming is impeccable. Thank you so much. You have no idea what this meant for us and him. More...

It is only a pleasure. He was a champion, one would never say it was his first groom ever. I am sure he feels like a million bux now.

Absolutely amazing Grooming Team !
I have taken a variety of dogs to them (big and small, scared and anxious, confident and bold), they know how to work with them all and the dogs end up loving going to be groomed!!
Best in the business!

10/10 would recommend. We had a traumatic experience at another grooming parlour that left our Cocker Spaniel with a horrific infection, costing us 8k+ of vet fees and 3 month recovery. I was extremely impressed with how friendly and professional they were, with a clean working environment. The atmosphere is very calm as it is only one dog at a time and our pup was a happy, relaxed girl when I picked her up an hour later. She would usually be hyperventilating after a grooming session and today she was as calm as can be. Super happy and impressed. Will use them again for sure. Happy pup, happy life, happy wallet.

I have been taking my 2 pups to Armand regularly for about a year now. It is always a good experience. The pups are not stressed because they are not left in cages for hours. You book your appointment drop pups and within in hour you are collecting again. I do and will continue to recommend Armand Grooming to all dog lovers. More...

Fantastiese mense met groot liefde en passie vir wat hulle doen. My woefkind is ‘n besige meisie en hulle het die geduld en liefde om haar elke keer pragtig te groom. Sal hulle enige tyd aanbeveel.

We are so grateful to have found Armand-Canine Bahaviour and Grooming Services. My dog loves going there, she's never ever been scared to be left at the groomer and she never waits long to be groomed. Being a Shih Tzu, her hair always needs extra attention and Armand and his team never disappoints. More...

Friendly and timely service. Absolutely would recommend to all dog owners.
André
Armand's expertise came with high praise, and rightly so. When we welcomed a new furry friend into our home, tensions with our first dog were initially high.
Armand stepped in with reassuring wisdom, promising that with time, they would become inseparable pals. True to his word, they're now thick as thieves, the best of chums.
Our journey with Armand continued as he navigated us through the intricacies of leash training. His clear and supportive guidance has set me firmly on the path to becoming a proficient handler. Each walk is a delightful learning curve, a step towards the harmonious outings that both I and my dogs now enjoy.
Armand's expertise in canine behaviour is unmatched, and his mentorship has proven invaluable. I am entirely persuaded that one would be hard-pressed to find a better guide for their dogs. My endorsement of his services is given with the utmost confidence and sincerity.

Matt Denton
Took my extremely fluffy collie to Armand for a shave and overall grooming session. I was in and out and my doggo looks absolutely stunning! I also took my naughty little Jack Russell with for a nail trim. This guy is beyond terrified of the klippers and Armand did it so fast that he didn't know what hit him! This is my go to grooming parlour! More...

Salomé Thyssen
Armand came highly recommended when I was looking for someone to help introducing our puppy, Bella to our 3yr old pitbull, Thor. I was extremely nervous and wondered if we made the right decision to get a puppy as Thor just seemed not to like her at all. I called Armand who was an absolute God send. After just one session with them and a week later of us practicing what Armand has taught us and they are getting along very well. We are really grateful to Armand assisting us with Bella and Thor who look like they will be best pals. Much appreciated🐾. More...

Annie
After a few attempts at having our girl groomed, we were recommended by our neighbours to try and take our very nervous small horse(Betty, XL breed K9, Something black and hairy) to Armand.
THOROUGHLY impressed! Appart from the fact that it's less than 1km from our home, Betty took the tiny drive like a champ. Warmed up to Armand instantly(very out of character as she is incredibly nervous around any and all men) and she was done in less than 90 minutes! Even dried and nails clipped! I don't know how he and Carlyn got this girl to not break down the whole place because of a dryer, but we'll definitely be making this a monthly trip up the road 🥳🥳
Thanks a million!
Bêbê looks STUNNING and she is sooooo happy! Ready to jump in the pool with no extra wet wool weight!🥰

Armand and his team changed the life of my babies! Being little rescues and reactive, they constantly seemed stressed and anxious, especially on walks, which they love by the way! Through weekly coaching and training for the last 3-4 months, and after attending the beginner and bootcamp classes, my Santie and Dougie are MUCH happier, and more relaxed on their jogs and walks with Mom. From not being able to enjoy 10 minutes together, up to an hour each several times a week is the norm, and without pulling and tantrums! Thank you so much for all your help, advice and guidance. #livelifealways More...

Armand diagnosed a couple of issues and was able to help us a great deal. My 3 girls also got a day at the salon... deshedding wasn't as great as I hoped but I guess this is just a process.
.. my girls looked clean and felt super soft!!
Will definitely recommend and use Armand again !!

Reply from Armand K9- Canine Behaviour and Grooming Services
Thank you Jo, the shedding will get better over a few sessions of deshedding unfortunately them having never been groomed before makes the shedding more likely but will lessen over time.

Armand is the epitomy of the proverbial dog whisperer. He walked into our lives and our dogs instantly behaved themselves. Our cats are eternally grateful & I am now better trained & skilled at handling my household. Highly recommend his presence, service & expertise for anyone willing to be a more informed, skilled & confident pet owner. Our household humbly thanks you for restoring harmony & introducing some valuable tips for maintaining good relationships between pets, both dogs & cats & family members, as well as our school community. Much appreciated & so worth the time, care & value for money well spent. More...

Ek sal geen ander persoon gebruik om my honde te groom as armand nie... Hulle LOVE dit om na hom toe te gaan. Beste van alles is jy maak n afspraak so hulle sit nie heeldag in n hokkie met ander honde wat blaf en tjank om hulle nie.

GROOMING: I have been taking Yogi and Chaya to Armand the last few months for grooming. What I value the most is that he is always on time and don't mind you being there while he grooms. He assesses the dogs demeaner and handles them accordingly. Also dogs also don't stay in a cage the whole day like some places. When your dog is done he/she must be fetched which is less stressful for them. I trust him a 100% with my dog(s) and will recommend him. More...
