I gave this review one star and wish I could give it ZERO stars!!! That is because throughout my…read morewhole time working there, I've had continuous issues with Valeria Alvarez. She is a team lead who acts as if she is a manager. She acts as a self appointed manager even though that isn't her role nor job. She does not know how to speak to people, she is very verbally aggressive and was constantly antagonizing me and other coworkers. One of the run ins that I had with her was, right before I quit I had gotten sick (due to frequent changes in weather), and was trying to call in because of that fact. She informed me that I had to have a doctor's note to be able to call out. The issue with that is that we only get paid $10/hr and doctor visits are very expensive. It doesn't make sense to have to provide a doctor's note for a call-out because of me being sick. Especially because before that timeframe, it was failed to be communicated with me that it is a requirement to provide a doctor's note for a call-out due to me being under the weather. Not to mention that for all the work that we do, $10/hr is not a livable wage especially in this economy. Valería is the reason that I quit working here at Canine Country Club. She made it a very hostile work environment and spoke to me and other coworkers poorly and in a disrespectful manner often with no repercussions. She has had multiple instances of snapping at employees, belittling them, gossiping to people that she's close with and walking away from people while a conversation is actively being had. It should also be known that she has been put on leave previously for the same exact behavior and was allowed to come back as if nothing happened. I didn't report her behavior towards me because, I was scared of possible retaliation and the fear of my situation not being taken seriously. With all that being said, I think that Valería Alvarez treats her job as if it's an obligation and not a privilege. She should not be able to continue to treat people this way with no repercussions. The fact that she was even allowed back in the first place AFTER the first time as if nothing happened is repulsive and disturbing.

Previously, i had worked…read morewith 2 other trainers so i wasn't sure if they would be able to help but after meeting with Oscar, i felt reassured that they knew how to handle my stubborn Pomeranian, Popcorn. Oscar immediately picked up that Popcorn was nervous which has been an issue I wasn't sure would improve. We decided on a board and train program and I loved that they worked with my needs. Yes, it was extremely hard to leave my dog for 3 weeks but big improvements require big changes. I have been thrilled to see him develop overall obedience and improved behavior. I can now take my dog to restaurants, la centera, and parks knowing that he will behave well. People even compliment his obedience. I would definitely recommend meeting with Oscar for any behavioral modifications or overall obedience. The staff is also kind and will work with your needs. The lobby is currently closed due to COVID-19 social distancing but a staff member is always aware when you arrive to greet you. If I have anything I would change, it would only be to enroll my dog sooner.

We sent her to Shelley and Martin for a 3 week inboard training. They kicked Balashi out after a week saying she was untrainable. The videos they would send us showed Balashi being very lethargic and not herself. Since then, we hired an in home trainer who was able to change Balashi's life around. She is a completely different dog and the trainer did this in 5 one hour sessions. We finally had our happy dog back after this training. We are now able to walk her and take her to public places and she is absolutely great. No telling how Shelmar Kennels treated our baby while there. One thing is for sure, we would NEVER recommend them.

Unfortunately, my experience with Barking Life was VERY DISAPPOINTING…read more The day before an important trip, I contacted Barking Life for care for my two dogs. They quickly matched me with a sitter, and I paid over $250 upfront, completed all paperwork, and scheduled a meet-and-greet. The sitter spent about 1.5 hours with me, interacted well with my dogs, discussed their routines in detail, referenced future visits, and left with my apartment key and parking permit. At no point did she express any concerns. About an hour after she left, I received a call stating that the meet-and-greet "didn't go well" and that the booking was canceled. This was completely unexpected based on our interaction. What made the situation even more concerning was that the company initially seemed unaware that the sitter still had my apartment key and parking permit. Thankfully, another staff member personally retrieved and returned them more than two hours after the sitter had left with my belongings. To make matters worse, the cancellation occurred less than 12 hours before my trip, leaving me scrambling to find alternative care for my pets. Also, reunds typically take 7-10 business days to process for a service that was never provided. My issue is not that a sitter has the right to decline a booking. My issue is with the process. I would strongly recommend requiring a meet-and-greet before collecting full payment, or charging a small consultation fee until both parties agree to move forward. This would prevent customers from paying hundreds of dollars upfront only to have services canceled at the last minute. I also believe there should be clearer expectations regarding booking commitments. While emergencies, illness, or family matters are understandable reasons for canceling, none of those reasons were communicated in this situation. Customers should be able to rely on a booking once it has been accepted. Any concerns that may prevent a sitter from completing a service should be identified before payment is collected and final arrangements are made. Finally, I would encourage the company to be more cautious when accepting last-minute bookings. A cancellation less than 12 hours before departure can place customers in an extremely difficult position, especially after they have been encouraged to move forward with pet sitting instead of alternative arrangements. While I appreciate the employee who personally returned my belongings, the overall experience left me feeling unsupported during a time-sensitive situation when reliability mattered most.

Now I've had nightmares with groomers in the past, Aleu is a Mini Australian Shepard and the last place we took her and asked for a trim, we came back to a shaved dog. It was a nightmare. Ju Ju's asked us how much we wanted cut, told us they'd have her ready in 2-3 hours and we were good to go! They called back in 3 hours on the dot and I picked up a beautiful little Aleu with the biggest smile on her face. On top of that, the price was incredibly affordable. I am so happy with this place. Thank you, Ju Ju's!
