Once I got a second husky, I knew I couldn't be popping for $180 every time they needed a bath. So I looked elsewhere and found petco would do this same exact grooming for $45 each! $90 total! Win. 2. Customer service. The groomers are super friendly! 3. Quality. They really do a better job than petsmart. They look so clean, fluffy, and they're so soft! This was not always the case when I got them back from petsmart 4. Perks! They came back wearing these awesome bows/scarves today for Christmas. Totally would recommend for anyone looking for affordable, quality dog grooming!

Having ourselves learned the through trial and error that "training the owner" is just as important…read moreas training the dog (after all, it's a symbiotic relationship), we've found John at NFK9BC to be an extremely valuable resource. For some months now, he's been working with us intermittently, one on one, as a personal dog-trainer / owner-coach for our lovable, 3 year old, female corgi mix. Otherwise super personal and well-behaved, our dog's major training issue has been extreme, dog-to-dog reactivity-aggression. Being a rescued animal originally found abandoned in the swamps of Suwannee, we quickly recognized her explosive reactivity was something akin to severe PTSD. But after over a year of spending thousands with various other trainers with whom she attended multiple board-&-train sessions and regular group classes, we saw no real practical improvement. Even John, in our first session, agreed our dog was among the most dog-reactive he'd ever encountered. However he was one of very few to really concur that her reactivity was likely a PTSD-like legacy of some early, underlying trauma needing to be addressed. So after only a few sessions working with John, we were encouraged to modify our own approach and try new techniques that soon started making a real difference. Now, at long last, we are able to take her to the dog park where she will interact and play appropriately with other dogs, with only a very briefly reactive, initial response. Our confidence is high that as we (dog & owners) continue receiving John's training-coaching, she will eventually be ready for her "good canine citizen" test. John is an excellent, special trainer because he's strong on positive reinforcement methods, really listens to his clients, offers practical techniques and tailors his coaching/training to clients' issues, needs and styles rather than simply taking a "do this-- it's what works for us--" approach. Strongly recommended!

Review, K9 Lifesaver Guy Beyond wonderful and a lifesaver…read more I cannot even put into words how much he helped me. I had taken in an abandoned dog, a pitbull mix, who was young but adult size and 56 pounds. He was not fixed so had scheduled him for neutering, but it would take some time. It was fine, I could not spend time with him because he was attracted to my leg, to take him out in the backyard was off could do. He was well behaved. However, the backyard neighbors have been away with their dogs in the head come back on a Saturday. Starting Saturday night, after being in the backyard when the other dogs were backyard, he started really hyper. And Sunday he just won't be berserk, he somehow got out of a closed door room, he had scratched the door had put a hole in the wall. He chased after my cats, and he was going on the tables and I just couldn't control him. I called different places, thinking I had to get rid of them right away for my cats. It was a Sunday night so I had no luck. Until I called North Florida K9 Behavior Center and luckily, he answered the phone. He was a godsend. He calmed me down because I was hysterical. Gave me great information about neutering and what to expect after you neuters. He also gave me a lot of great psychological canine behavior, tips and information explain so much he helped me get a plan together, which I was too hysterical otherwise to have done without him. It set a plan to put Teddy in the garage with the cage, and to keep him away from the cats, meaning I would take him directly from the garage, the backyard and not to the house. he called me down enough to realize that the neutering process would help a lot, and that it was OK to keep him in the garage for now for his safety safety of my cats and my sanity. I literally don't know what I would have done without him. Teddy is still waiting neutering so after Teddy has that procedure, and finishes his vaccine boosters, our plan to call him again. You can't go wrong with a person who's so understanding, so calm, know so much about any more behavior and psychology, someone who takes the time out of their off time to help deal with a hysterical person, which she did not have to do. I highly recommend his services.

If your going to charge that much for a board and train program the dogs should be trained well. Not just mediocre. They only do things that benefit them not their clients.

After a brief exchange I received a very judgmental reply from the owner about priorities. So, I rated her business 1-star on Facebook for her significant lack of customer service skills with no commentary. She was so offended at my 1-star rating that she called me out on Facebook claiming I was being unreasonable and asking for free dog training. I've uploaded screen shots from that to the business' pictures, feel free to look at them yourself. I'm now rating her 1-star on Yelp for her significant lack of customer service skills as well as completely unprofessional behavior.

We went through all 3 training levels with Sorcha so she really got to know and understand my dog. Now whenever we visit her at petsmart my dog gets super excited because she knows treats are around lol Petsmart grooming is also fantastic! The last 2 or 3 times my dog has seen Sabryna and she has done a fantastic job. I cannot speak on their haircuts because I have a Rottweiler so she only gets baths. I also get the nail grinding for my dog because her nails are black and very thick so cutting them does nothing. I highly recommend this location I can't say anything bad about them!

I am extremely disappointed and upset with the grooming services my two dogs received at PetSmart…read more This was by far the worst grooming experience I have ever encountered at this company. From the moment we arrived, the groomer's customer service was terrible. She was neither welcoming nor friendly, and her demeanor made it seem as though she did not want to provide services to our dogs. Instead of making us feel comfortable, she appeared to be discouraging us from moving forward with their grooming appointments. We were informed that our dogs had some matting, and the groomer stated that she would try to save as much of their coats as possible but might have to do a military-style cut if necessary. However, that is not what I witnessed. She went straight to shaving my Standard Poodle without first bathing her or making any visible attempt to comb through or save her coat. Within approximately five minutes, a significant amount of her hair had already been shaved off. Both of my dogs ended up being shaved nearly bald. I understand that matting can sometimes require shaving for an animal's safety and comfort, but my concern is the apparent lack of effort to explore other options after we were told an attempt would be made to preserve their coats. What makes this experience even more frustrating is that I was charged additional dematting fees of $20 for one dog and $10 for the other, despite witnessing no attempt to demat their coats before shaving them. I was also charged a $30 late fee for arriving approximately 20 minutes late. Between the grooming services and additional charges, I paid a substantial amount of money for an experience that left me completely dissatisfied. I chose not to confront the groomer at that moment because I was extremely upset, and by then, much of the damage to their coats had already been done. As a customer, I expect professionalism, compassion, honest communication, and quality service when trusting someone with my pets. Unfortunately, this experience fell far below those expectations. I strongly believe PetSmart management needs to address both the customer service and grooming practices at this location. The groomer's attitude and handling of this appointment were not a positive representation of the company. I would not recommend this grooming experience to other pet owners, and I sincerely hope PetSmart takes this complaint seriously. Our pets deserve better, and so do paying customers.
