Darling Dogs - Traveling Alpha LLC is a small dog grooming and training business owned and operated by Marina Darling Zeitler. We are located at 18975 Marbach Lane, Suite 325 in San Antonio, Texas.

What sets us apart is the exceptional level of care and expertise we offer. Our team is deeply committed to understanding each dog's psyche and providing specialized care tailored to their needs.

Marina, our skilled canine behaviorist, has a remarkable ability to read and interpret the dogs' behavior, adjusting accordingly to ensure their comfort and well-being. Our almost kennel-free process ensures dogs receive attention without delays. We accommodate only one family of dogs at a time, allowing us to provide the personalized attention and care each dog deserves. We take great pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and inviting environment for our furry friends.

Darling Dogs - Traveling Alpha LLC is planning to expand its services to a mobile grooming unit, in addition to the current location. This will provide customers with the option to choose between the convenience of mobile grooming at an additional fee or the luxury of Marina, the groomer, working at her physical location.
We believe that every dog, regardless of breed, size, temperament, health condition, or age, deserves love and care. Marina's unwavering dedication and commitment to canines mental health serve as an inspiration.

Welcome to Darling Dogs - Traveling Alpha LLC, where we strive to provide the highest quality service to all dog lovers in the area. As an experienced Canine Behaviorist, I have studied canine behavior, ethology, and culture, and hold a certification in Dog Training. Additionally, I am an accomplished groomer with years of experience in professional grooming salons.

My love and passion for dogs goes beyond my qualifications and experience. I have a deep empathy for these four-legged companions, and when your dog is in my care, you can trust that they will receive the best possible treatment with understanding and respect.

All of my qualifications and experiences enable me to offer exceptional care to every dog under my care. I am dedicated to the well-being of all animals and take great pride in using my skills to provide excellent service to dogs and dog lovers.

I, Marina Darling, am dedicated to making sure every client succeeds! My ultimate aim is to see happy pet parents, bonded with their canine through compassionate leadership, coherent communication, mutual respect, and healthy boundaries. My training plans provide an opportunity to restore functionality and peace in your life with your dog, equipping you with the knowledge to comprehend your dog's needs and create meaningful communication with them. Comprehending your canine will give you the ability to better convey with them. We are sure to have a perfect solution to suit your needs.

Courses fully customizable and personalized to you and your canine companion! These courses are well worth the investment as soon as you recognize what I offer. Not only does being trained result in an obedient animal - I also provide ways for people to experience benefits beyond obedience such as a deep bond of companionship in your furry partner.

Groomed with precision, I take pride in my work - because every animal deserves it. Each day spent with these furry friends brings me joy; which is why I give all of myself to them during each session. With patience and dedication, when you pick up your pet after a session, you can see for yourself how much we both loved spending time together. And since I'm also a dog trainer- well everything's just peachy! Pets who come from sessions prepared from shaping and handling lessons leave happy...and so do owners!

I am skilled in doggy communication, body language, stress signs, and am trained to handle any situation in the least aversive way possible. I practice giving stress grooms. This is something I've became devout to after working in this field and having disagreements with the force of putting dogs in uncomfortable situations. I block off enough time for each dog to go at a pace they are comfortable with.

Mutual Respect & Effective Communication

 As an animal care professional, I promote Respect and Care in handling dogs. From proper education and training, I use positive reinforcement, LIMA guidelines and communication to provide a gentle and deep sense of care that will never negatively affect a dog's psyche. Through this, we can gain better understanding of canine behavior and how every experience a dog has affects their perception.

I will be forever grateful to Marina for helping me when I did not know where to turn. My Siberian Husky mix puppy, Gracie, wanted guidance and wanted to do the right thing but personal injuries limited my ability to give her the time and training that she deserved. Marina gave us both the time and attention that we needed, and she taught us with patience, kindness, and exceptional skill. She provided me with videos, background information and graphs to track the many areas that we were working on for Gracie’s training at the same time that she educated me on my role as Gracie’s Mom and to ultimately understand life through my puppies’ eyes. Thank you, Marina, for bringing peace and control back into my life and even more importantly, a happy, well-behaved puppy. Your kindness and devotion to the respectful care of dogs is nothing short of remarkable. I am so happy that we found you!

Marina was so amazing with my baby girl and was able to fit me into her schedule after my girl got sprayed by a skunk 🙁 she made sure my girl had a comfortable experience and got her skunk free (: I’ll definitely be messaging her for an appointment for my other pups soon! Thank you Marina!

Took both of my dogs in to get groomed with Marina & the experience she provided them was exceptional. Neither of them had ever been groomed before, partly due to them being denied from other groomers for being “too fearful” or being a “bite risk”. She was so calm with them & took her time to make sure my dogs were as comfortable as they could be. I can’t recommend Marina enough, ESPECIALLY if you have nervous/anxious pups.

It was truly a lucky day when I acted upon my daughter's glowing recommendation to try Darling Dogs grooming services! My boy Pip suffers from separation anxiety. Imagine my surprise when I discovered how quickly Pipper warmed up to Marina! Recognizing Pip's problematic behavior, she quickly and effectively adjusted to his needs. I returned to find a beautifully groomed Pip who felt safe and secure in Marina's loving care. Pip and I agree that Marina Rocks!

Darling Pet Care (aka: Marina) did an absolutely outstanding job on my XXL dog with lots of hair. My dog is sensitive. Marina was patient and kind with her and she came out looking so beautiful and smelled so good. Also very accommodating to scheduling. We will back!

Marina is so great with our dog Rio. She is patient, gentle and he always looks amazing when I pick him up. Rio is actually excited to see Marina. No fear or anxiety like with some other groomers.

She did an amazing job with our mini Schnauzer. He is only a year old and still learning the ropes. She is patient with him and teaches him how to be a better client. We are so happy with her services. We be coming to her more frequently.

Marina did an amazing job setting the ambiance in the room before my 80 pound dog reactive baby and I went in. She clipped his nails and filed them and he was acting like nothing was even happening. I 100% will bring him back.
