I picked up my dog from grooming & haircut. The groomer hands me a piece of paper which has…read morebarcodes. I'm told to take this to the register and pay and when I returned they would be ready. I handed the paper to the clerk at the register who immediately asked if I'd be adding a tip. I told him I wasn't sure and would like to see my bill. There was a line of people behind me waiting who overheard him say I NEEDED to tell him if I was adding a tip first. I said no. He continued to press and told me I'd have to sign something extra. I did. By this point he was clearly out to prove something. BTW, my bill was OVER $200! I'm sorry, are they unable to pay their employees? A tip should be for service that is exceeding what's expected. I would have happily tipped my groomer had this not happened. I'll not be returning to PETCO.

Both dogs were/are comfortable and well cared for during daycare and overnight stays. Shannon and Mel have created a really special community space for dogs and their owners.

We live in Brooklyn and got our first dog this summer. #pandemicpuppy From the start we realized we…read moreneeded a lot of training and we went through a thorough research and interview process to determine we wanted a board and train program. During this process we conducted consultations with several trainers throughout NYC and when we finally connected with Anna we were impressed with her extensive knowledge of dog training that was far beyond what we had encountered with other trainers. Anna has a three pronged approach of positive, corrective, and relaxation techniques which is a much more holistic approach than we encountered when we interviewed other trainers. Anna's focus on relaxation is different than any trainer we interviewed or worked with which teaches dogs how to exist in a calm state, which becomes homeostasis. This is what we wanted most with our dog so that we can all peacefully coexist together. Anna's home and dog training quarters are in a beautiful setting with a gorgeous view of Mt Ascutney. There is a lot of open outdoor area for the dogs to learn off-leash skills and to have exciting distractions such as goats and other dogs. Having a calm, natural setting is a benefit which is allowing our dog to master foundational skills without other distractions. However, because Anna knows that we will be brining our dog back to the city, she has taken our pup to busier areas to work on training with other distractions. After 10 days we met up with Anna and our dog to get some training transferred to us and it was like meeting a different dog. Our dog has already learned great leash skills and is able to be around other dogs and people without becoming overly aroused. She is immediately responsive to all major commands. Anna is also working on house training issues and helping our pup to learn to go outside. Initially our dog wasn't able to go outside because she was becoming too distracted when we were in the city. When we dropped our pup off she was newly recovering from being fixed and Anna's background as a nurse made us feel more at ease knowing that she would be attentive to her healing. Anna's depth of knowledge and clear instructions with us has already helped us learn so much about how to engage with our dog. We are so happy we found her services! I'm surprised that there aren't more 5 star reviews here that sing her praises. Thank you, Anna!
