I dropped the class in September 2025 & began working weekly with Shawn. Shawn was unfamiliar with the sport BUT she's worked with Shelties & knows the gentleness of my breed. Her method of fear free training & positive reinforcement was exactly what I needed. She provided effective training solutions based on my individual needs to build my confidence. Attended my 1st flyball tournament in March 2026 & was amazing!!! I completed the pattern multiple times with a box loader, spectators, & running against a dog in the other lane. The best part is that I'm not afraid of the game but truly enjoy it now. So many people congratulated Mommy on my improvement. My improvement & joy of the sport is all due to working with Shawn & her dog, Ollie. We're so grateful to Shawn for her dedication & commitment to help her clients put their best paw forward. Shawn is truly an amazing trainer & wonderful to work with. We love her!!!! Monte Galvan

Okay, I lost my review. So if this is duplicate I apologize…read more Willa went to stay with Casandra Lambert with Fido's in early January. She stayed for three weeks and was just over 6 months old. Willa is a Corgi and we think Jack Russell. So you can imagine how much energy she has. Casandra had her hands full. I received lots of pictures and videos. Some were so funny. She always looked so happy Willa learned so much and is a much better dog. Willa was treated with love and wonderful treats. Thank you Casandra, we are thankful for your help. Gail Bell

I'm SOOOO thankful for that rejection because there's no way they would've done what Tame did. I truly thought we were going to have to give up one of my girls because of fights. I've never had an issue with training in my 40+ years on this earth & was so disheartened. Tame turned that around. I have the tools now & knowledge of some new tricks to help me & most importantly them. We were lucky enough to get paired with Riley who was so prompt with communication. We did the long program & he (and his team) went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. Even after we brought her home they still answer our random questions. I live in the Ft.

Our busy lives simply didn't allow us to dedicate the time needed to properly train her ourselves. After two and a half weeks boarding at Tame, which was also a nice reset for us, we have a well trained dog that can easily fit into our busy household. We would highly recommend Tame and plan on using the boarding program going forward to reinforce the foundation they setup.

We have spent three years having trainers tell us to rehome one of our pups or having training…read moreopportunities fall through as we tried to address the reactiveness of one of our dogs toward the other. Our daily routines involved, what we called, "the prisoner exchange," moving one dog inside and the other outside repeatedly so they did not fight. We believed in Leo and William and knew that they could make each other's lives so much richer with the right support and knowledge. When I called Karma for training options, I was told they had the perfect trainer for our situation and that the trainer could come live with us for ten days. Enter - Kai Whitmore - the man, the myth, the legend. I was very hopeful, but skeptical that my pups could get along, however, Kai got to know each of them individually, understood their strengths and weaknesses, and built up their basic skills that would be helpful when they interacted. Within days, Kai had the boys hanging out together in the backyard and the house. Shortly thereafter, they were playing together, napping together, and bonding over their mutual desire to keep our yard cat-free. Now a mere two weeks later, they are co-existing most of the day, though we do give them breaks because it is still so new. Not only did Kai work his magic with the dogs, but he also provided our family the support and confidence we needed to ensure Leo and William's friendship continues to progress and to keep them both continually learning new skills or sharpening old ones. We know within a matter of weeks, we will be living with both dogs on the same schedule and in the same spaces as we have always wanted. Kai believed in the dogs and believed in us. We couldn't have dreamed of a better result. And despite the length of this review, I can't find the words that truly express the gratitude and admiration I have for Kai as both a dog trainer and human being. If you are fortunate enough to meet Kai, or have the benefit of him helping with your dog training, just start thanking him out the gate to get ahead of it.

Cheryl is the best. Seriously. We heard about her from a friend and when we meet for our free…read moreevaluation I knew she was gonna be our trainer. We live in Lake Stevens which is out of her travel range so we met at McCollum park in Everett for our sessions. We have a 6 month old Whippet and the web is full of information about how Whippets are not motivated to be trained, can never be trusted off leash, no training collars (they have thin necks), are very sensitive, etc. After reading all this I was left bewildered. I had trained our previous dog (Lab) but I felt like nothing I knew before would work on this dog and I hadn't even started! Cheryl put my mind at ease. She felt that a balanced approach (a gentler training collar with lots of positive reinforcement) was the way to go and how a dog is trained and what it can and can't do is up to the individual dog and its owner. We signed up for her Silver package and met twice a week for 5 weeks. After our first lesson I was so pleased I could cry. Just that lesson taught Dobby not to pull which was his biggest issue. From there he learned sit, down, come, place, heel, stay, not to jump up on people and just how to generally pay attention to me more than his surroundings. Its tough for him as Sighthounds see everything and are intensely interested. But he's come so so far. Cheryl never lost her cool, never lost her patience and she had a solution for every issue that came up. I had to bring my 4 kids numerous times as we homeschool and she was never (visibly) annoyed, even though they were sometimes quite annoying :) We did end up using an electronic collar and our last few sessions involved working with him on that. He has begun work off leash using this collar. It also helps make corrections at home when he doesn't have a leash on and is far away. I would recommend using the e-collar option if it fits into your budget. Its been really nice. I can't recommend Cheryl highly enough. We really enjoyed our time with her and Duke and her impact on Dobby and us will last a very long time. She enabled us to have a well-behaved dog that we can take anywhere. That's priceless.

I really appreciate that they offer a wide variety of healthy food options to fit different needs. The staff is consistently friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable -- whether it's pointing me toward the right product or helping with questions about nutrition. One big plus is that PetSmart honors price matching with their website, which makes it easy to shop in-store without worrying about paying more than I would online. Overall, between the great product selection, fair pricing, and excellent staff, PetSmart continues to be my go-to place for pet supplies.
