Testimonials
“Unless you really know NOTHING about dogs, it’s a waste of time and money. I was suggested to take my dog to the beginner class, even though I told the trainer that my dog already knows the basics and the only thing we wanted to address was his leash reactivity. The trainer said he would come to this topic in one of the sessions, but it turned out to be just a readout of his handbook. Every session was around 50 minutes long, and for the first 40 minutes, we were just sitting there listening to him read out some pages of his handbook. Nothing you can’t find on Google.”
– Customer
“My dog originally had an appointment around thanksgiving and was denied service because they felt that he was too much. […] Once again, I wasted my time and energy because they immediately turned him away again. My appoint was at 4:30 and they didn’t close until 8. They stated that they didn’t have enough time.”
– Customer
“I took my dog to Eldorado pet grooming where I received excellent service with no wait time. […] I will never go back to PetSmart for grooming. It’s horrible and dirty.”
