I wish I could type faster, I have so much to say!…read more We love D.O.G.! My 8 week old puppy entered their "Puppy Start Right" program and immediately became accustomed to being handled, trained, and exposed to a lot of household items... crutches, canes, wheel chairs, hair dryer, grooming shears, extension cords, pots and pans. He became a very confident happy puppy quickly! However... the best part of that experience was what the trainers taught ME as the puppy mom! They taught me to always give my dog, a choice, never force him to do something that he is adverse to doing. They taught me about positive reinforcement. They taught me that always carrying my dog around is actually hindering his development, and that I need to allow him to be a "big dog" even though he talked out at 10 pounds. We continued to the adolescent program and I truly enjoyed the 4 weeks of daily day training, and Satchel loves his trainers! We were treated to a end of session handoff meeting, where we were taught how to continue teaching him the good manners, and the good behaviors that we all like seeing in a well trained dog. It was wonderful to be able to see him interact with his trainer. His trainer answered all our questions. In fact, it's important to know that every single day I took my dog in for training, I would greet a trainer who would ask if I had any questions. I knew that this group of fine humans loved my dog as much as I do, if not more at times. It is wonderful to see how satchel behaves in public, how he handles a leash, and how he behaves at home as a confident, young puppy. This center is very careful to not over populate their staff meaning they only take on a safe number of dogs that can be taught properly during the amount of time. Their facility is extremely clean my dog had access to water, food, treats and enrichment at all times. Satchel really enjoys the obstacle courses, and now he is currently being trained for the canine good citizen distinction. I really appreciate the fun activities like Easter egg hunts and group walks that allow me to interact with other dog owners.

Will never set foot in this Petco store again. After a recent trip to an emergency vet service my…read moredog was diagnosed with gastroenteritis which requires a bland diet for a few days. I was sent home with a couple cans of the hills digestive diet canned dog and was told I could purchase some more. Apparently for this specific dog food you need a prescription which I did not know or provided with. They have the cans on the sales floor, and it wasn't until I got to the counter that I was informed about the prescription. The team member Chloe was extremely rude and was practically yelling at me about a prescription. I'm thinking that she could have handled things a little differently rather than screeching and repeating herself over and over again about a prescription that I was never aware that I needed. If you people at Petco require a prescription to sell certain dog foods to customers, then they should have proper signage in place, or have it stocked behind the counter where customers can't just pick them up.

Vetco techs and doctor was straight to the point, listened to me and didn't overly act like they cared until $$ came into play. My pup got better super fast and then had a small relapse, I called concerned and scared I was going to spend more $$. They listened and told me what to do, provided medication I could pick up immediately. it cost me nothing but time (and the RX) Thank you so much for everything you did for my pup and myself .

Mike at K.I.S.S. Dog training has made a monumental impact not only on our Australian Cattle Dog,…read moreBernie, but our whole family. We started out as a complex case due to Bernie's reactivity towards other people, a variety of objects (mainly those with wheels), hyperactivity, etc. We learned how to keep Bernie under his threshold so he gets to practice good behavior as much as possible. We went through his Babies Don't Bark course and Bernie is now the best older brother to my one month old! I never would have imagined Bernie would be walking next to a stroller or staying calm by lying off to the side when people/dogs pass by but sure enough he's doing it...still with lots of cheese to motivate him :-) Mike helped us get anxiety meds started, which has made a big difference, and has normalized wearing a muzzle! I won't sugar coat the amount of work and patience it takes to keep up on training but it's been worth it. Mike is so responsive in emails (within hours of asking a question) and has lots of YouTube videos and books to help owners. Training a dog is a life long experience! Last year I felt overwhelmed but now I have a better understanding of how to help Bernie in different situations so I feel in control. Special shout-out to Angela for being so helpful with scheduling! Thank you!!

She was responsive to my last-minute request and happy to meet with me beforehand so I could introduce her to my dog. It was really nice knowing that my dog was staying at someone's home rather than a kennel, and it put me at ease to see how much fun she was having at the dog park and in the backyard when I saw the pictures she posted. My dog came back tired and happy. I couldn't have asked for more. I will definitely board my dog with Melissa next time I'm out of town!

I got back a puppy that was potty trained!!!!!! No accidents since he has been home. He also know Sit, Come, Down. We are working more on the leash. I had a surprise work trip this week. She was able to take Vega for those days and help me with keeping the leash training going. She is so accommodating and knowledgeable. This is the best investment I could have made!!!
