So we just found a location that closed to us. So we arrived around 1:15pm, that was not a long lineup, and the photo taken place was decorated and themed festively. The staff was really nice and helpful. Due to 3 cats too much work, we didn't bring them here. We completed the photo shoot and got some treats for our cats. There was a $5 coupon valid only this weekend. I didn't read it in store, I figured out after home, so I have to go to the store again the next day. At least, I got them some extra treats. And some specific brands earn 10x points. Thank you PetSmart for this thoughtful idea that we could take pictures with our little friends and get some discounts.

When we first got Oreo, we weren't too sure where to take him for his puppy classes. We were…read moreextremely lucky to have found Dog Village on a random search within our area. Inise is a fantastic dog trainer who taught us so much about dog behaviours and how to make us a better pet owner. When you first walk into the place and see all the dogs that are there regularly, you maybe overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time. It's very low key and fun for the four legged friends but, there are also discipline and rules for all. It is such a great environment for us as dog owners and our pets to learn and socialize. If you're unsure, Inise and her team will guide you to the best of their ability. It is very important to socialize your dogs. Be a responsible pet owner and take them there for puppy classes, obedience classes, and social Sunday!

It's terrible! If you love your dog, do go!! I legit saw a dog running away from 5 other dogs trying to bite him but the groomers/ trainers did nothing.

After recently rescuing a Coonhound mix from Costa Rica (with no training whatsoever), we decided…read moreto register both of our dogs for the Basic Obedience Course at Gemini K9. Yesterday, both of our dogs graduated after completing the course and the difference is night and day. Our dogs listen, and obey even when there are noticeable distractions in the environment. Our trainer (Joseph) was patient and answered ALL of our questions (we had a lot). He had a big job-as much as the dogs needed training, he also had to train US to be proper handlers. There is a time commitment involved, and he was upfront about us putting in the work outside of our actual training time. It made a difference and we are pleased. Looking forward to continuing on in the spring with scent training and potentially Trick training. Highly recommend Gemini K9 for owners and pets :)

(We've had previous dogs of the same breed and never encountered this.) Through Bark Busters we were able to gain control with consistency and expectations, never resorting to bribes or harshness.

I cannot say enough about Angel Kerr Dog Training.

Most of the training happens in our backyard or in the community (for distraction purposes). Beta just LOVES the Angel crew and she also does 2x a week on the adventure walks where she's picked up with the pack and they're gone anywhere between 1 1/2 hours to 3 hours (depending on weather, pickups etc). She graduated today and will now move into their advanced fundamentals but I really just wanted to give a review of small business making it happen in the community. Huge Value and so worth it!

You can tell this is a generational skill set because of how easy and instinctual the dog training is for them. I'm a contractor and I'm passionate about what I do and I can see the passion and effort that comes from how they conduct their services. Most importantly, they're trustworthy and they care. These are people that know what they're doing and they're easy to deal with. I had to do a lot of searching and researching before I settled on them because I have a dog with a lot of issues and I love her to death. I'm very happy I settled on them. It ended up being the right choice.

THANK YOU! Thank you Mellow Vibes…read more We were referred here by a friend of ours who had a dog with aggression issues so we saw first hand what Mellow Vibes could do! Our dog, unlike most the dogs that I've seen in the reviews, is on the other end of the spectrum. Kaia is a 5, almost 6, year old husky/shepherd mix who has anxiety and fear and had zero socialization with the outside world and people. We adopted her at 4 years old and at that point, she was terrified of people and the world. Zero aggression, terrified of the world and a consistent flight risk. She would shut down when she saw people. If she could, she would make herself disappear from the world. Cowering, shaking, bolting, tail permanently tucked. Anything to get away. She couldn't function. We were having trouble bonding with her in the full year we had her because she was just so scared. Walks with her were full of dragging and bolting. She's pulled myself and my boyfriend over before when she was in a panic. She was incredibly stubborn with her commands. We eventually bit the bullet and contacted Mellow Vibes. They were the first trainer (and people in general) we talked to that did not judge what we did. The amount of times we heard from other trainers and people that we should not do this or that with our dog out of our desperation to build a bond with her (like letting her sleep on the bed with us or on furniture). They were the first trainers that understood where we came from and why we let her get away with certain things. We didn't feel judged for the first time or like we were being scolded. Instead, we got understanding and compassion. Paul spent 6 weeks with her. Let me tell you this, the amount of care and time he spent with her is astounding. Our dog was scared of EVERYONE but especially men, children and the elderly. Yet somehow, on our first meeting with Paul, she was calm. Paul kept us updated with her progress, pictures, videos, answering any of our questions or concerns. When it was finally time to pick her up, Paul trained us on his techniques of dealing with our dog's issues. We were met with a dog that listened to commands and when we did our walk with Paul, holy moly we were able to walk through the busy busy streets of downtown. Later that day, we were able to walk her through a busy park with so many screaming kids. We. Could. Never. Do. That. Before. EVER. She seemed to adore Paul, always looking back at him for reassurance and a bit of confidence. I almost felt bad taking her home haha. You could tell she was at ease with him and she was WELL LOVED in her time there. YOU DO NOT HELP A DOG LIKE OURS BY "BREAKING THEIR SPIRIT" OR ABUSING THEM. Now, I don't think our dog will ever be a people dog but we were taught how to manage her issues and she, herself, was slowly learning that people, objects, etc would not hurt her. At home now, she is generally a happier dog. More smiles, more tail wags, more following us around (she never wagged her tail or followed us around like this before). Mellow Vibes truly has helped her come out of her shell. They continue to follow up with us with messages, phone calls for more tips or to answer any of our questions. The rest is now up to us to keep up with the training and to continue to develop our relationship with her. You do not rehabilitate a dog like ours with anything but love, patience (oh so much patience) and compassion.
