Groomer's Credentials

David Walter, a world-renowned groomer and owner of Lucky 3 Dog & Cat Grooming, trained at the New York School of Dog Grooming in Manhattan. His book Dog Grooming and Pet Care: Doing It With Style, emphasizes the importance of grooming safety and skillful techniques. This book was featured in the nationally published Globe magazine with a half-page story.

His assistant groomer, Beverly, trained in Georgetown, Washington, DC. She perfected her grooming skills with David and has worked with him for over 20 years. She is well-known and respected, with an outstanding reputation throughout the region for quality work.

They are widely known and recommended by many veterinarians throughout Maryland, who give unbiased recommendations without reciprocal agreements.

Why Patronize Us?

Specialized grooming by NY stylist and book author.

We handle many matted, nervous, and difficult dogs that many other groomers will not or cannot groom.

Many animals require special strategies to help ensure that there is less risk of grooming injuries or emotional trauma to pets. I have devised creative holding techniques that were never taught at the grooming school I attended in Manhattan. I have never seen these methods utilized by other groomers or those in the national chain pet stores grooming departments.

As for the business of pet grooming, we are not heavy handed with equipment, and grooming injuries are rare and minimal.

We give preferential treatment to customers who live out of the area. With a prior telephone notice before arrival, their pets can be fully groomed in about two hours. Pet owners drop off pets while they wait in the area and go to the library across the street from the business or shop at the nearby BJ’s club store, Target, or other retailers. They can dine at one of the nearby food establishments.

I spoke with a pet owner who claimed one groomer working alone who arrived in a grooming van to his house spent a total of 1 ½ hours clipping and bathing three large dogs. It is true that some groomers can clip an animal in a total of less than 15 minutes, but this is not adequate time for the service we wish to provide.

Your experience at Lucky 3 is seldom lack luster or dull. The reason my groomer and I interact personally with pet owners in our own individual ways is because of our love of animals and the people who own them.

At Lucky 3, you are not just some customer with an account number; you are a unique individual. Try us, you’ll like us.

Negative Reviews Response:

I have not read any negative reviews about my business on social media that were valid.

For example, one editor with limited skills applied for an editing position and wrote a poorly written with grammatical errors negative review which had nothing to do with grooming. In a short phone conversation I was referring to editors who live outside the USA such as many who applied from the job site “Hire the World”. My words were taken out of context by someone who made implied slanderous remarks with hateful intent.

In another instance, a pet owner claimed while conversing over the phone before arriving, that she paid $800 in veterinarian fees for her pet’s leg injury caused by another shop. Coincidentally, she made complaints against my shop after we groomed the dog and, ironically, on social media she complimented the shop that she initially accused of causing a costly injury.

One pet owner claimed I did not use proper phone etiquette. She did not state that she wanted two dogs groomed after 3pm on a Sunday when I was answering calls at home.

Many of our complaints are because we cannot spend the time we do grooming for the low prices people expect to pay.

Too often, people only consider the few snide remarks from people who have never used our services. Those reading a negative review don’t know about the many satisfied pet owners who have been patronizing us for years with generations of different pets. Consequently, we don’t expect our spoken words in conversation to be taken out of context and everything we said to be posted on social media. Could you imagine that feeling?
