We hired Alycia to help us with our new lab puppy. We brought her into our home when our puppy was…read more10 weeks old and have committed the time to meet with Alycia to train him (and us!) Alycia is great. She's so patient with us, and is so good with the dogs. Everything she has taught us has worked. Our puppy is only 5 months old but he's learned so much thanks to her techniques. It takes commitment from the owners to make it work, and Alycia is worth every penny and more. I can't recommend her enough! We've done both the private and group classes, and got a lot out of both! Hire her you won't regret it!

Hiring Alycia is hands down the best decision we could have ever made for our 6 month old Cocker…read moreSpaniel Tiffany. With only 2 sessions, Alycia has made so many drastic changes and corrections that we are absolutely convinced that she is today's Dog Whisperer! She is the most loving, kind, yet firm, professional dog trainer we could ever imagine and hope for. Our precious puppy has anxiety/separation anxiety and she tended to bark at people and other dogs (not out of aggression but) out of nervousness and excitement. She loves attention/affection but her first reaction was to bark, run around and be hyper. In minutes Alycia calmed Tiffany down and she really responded well to Alycia's commands. She taught us about boundaries and gave our puppy a boundary at the front door. Previously, Tiffany would want to run to the door and possibly run outside. After 2 tries, she mastered how to stay back even with he door wide open and with no leash on! Such an important safety lesson. Next session we went to our local pet store and also walked around outside of the strip mall. There was lots of activity, people, noises, cars, dogs, etc. I was so nervous, but to our astonishment, Tiffany did NOT bark once! Alycia taught her how to heel, make turns, and how to stay on the curb until we let her know it was ok to cross the street, We also had trouble with Tiffany pulling her leash in front of us while walking. Alycia literally taught her in a couple of minutes how to walk calmly beside us. The last lesson of the day was teaching Tiffany how to remain calm in the car. Previously, Tiffany would whimper, try and jump or walk around nervously even while being safe in her car restraint belt. I don't know how Alycia did it, but for the first time in 6 months, we had a quiet calm puppy, laying down calmly in the back seat by herself the whole ride home! One word....AMAZING! Keep in mind that all of these corrections were literally done in minutes! Our puppy has shown so much improvement and retains the information. She's becoming more confident, showing less signs of her normal anxiety and she's loving all the new things she's learning. We can't say enough about Aylcia and her style of training, loving nature and expertise! Thank you Alycia of Thinking Dogs! If anyone is looking for a dog trainer, please contact Alycia today. I promise it will be the most positive experience for you and your fur babies!

I will never take my little girl here again…read more.. I made her appointment for 9:20 and I walk in and I was immediately concerned because it did not look like any other PetSmart groomers I've been to in the past. This place was cramped, the check in was in the same room as grooming and it was filthy. The staff were not friendly and just immediately put on their leash and took her back without letting her adjust or get to know who was even taking her. I have never been to a groomer that doesn't greet the dog and establish trust first. Then, she says it'll be 3-4 hours because they're busy so she will be in a kennel which just didn't sit well with me. At that point I already said we were never going back. At 1:30 I get a call (so it's been over 4 hours at this point). The groomer calls and says that our pup is half done. She didn't like the blow dryer (which I warned them about. She just becomes deadweight and tries to hide because she's scared). But because she didn't like the blow dryer, she said they put her back in the kennel and let her air dry in there. My poor baby!!!! Then she said she'll go on her lunch break and hopefully she'll be dryer then she can finish! She's finally done at 2:30. I pick her up and oh my god it is the most botched hair cut I have ever seen. Random long hairs all over, her tail wasn't even touched. And I'm sure she didn't get water the whole time there either because she drank almost 2L of water when she got home. Our pup shows her anxiety by becoming deadweight and doesn't like to be touched by people she hasn't established trust with. I am stunned that this is an acceptable standard for PetSmart. I will never bring my baby back here.

This PetSmart location has steadily declined in customer service over the years but this was the…read morefinal straw for me. Had a coupon for a discount on grooming and thought it would be a good way to check out the service so I could have a convenient backup established for when my usual groomer is booked up. From the moment I walked in with my golden retriever it was clear that although I had an appointment and there were only two other dogs there, the grumpy employees here didn't want to groom my dog. I was given attitude, and they made comments before I was even checked in with several reasons why the service might have to be cancelled. Seriously? There was really a bad vibe - like they had just argued amongst themselves before I walked in, and I should have just listened to my instinct and walked out. I unfortunately decided to go through with the service since I was already late for another appointment. An hour and 15 minutes later I was called to tell me that because my dog was drooling they wouldn't groom him and to come and get him NOW. I then found out he had been locked in a cage the moment I left without any part of the grooming process started at all. That is unacceptable stress to put on a pet. After being treated like this today, PetSmart just permanently lost a customer in me. It was a mistake coming here and one I will never repeat. I will drive out of my way to avoid this store and recommend you do the same if you care about your pets.

We started…read moreher at 9 weeks old, and she's now 5.5 months and has completed 6 one-on-one sessions, 3 group sessions, and many more puppy play times. I've watched her transform from a bit of a wild puppy into an (I might be biased here) absolutely perfect dog. We learned all basic commands including sit, down, come, loose leash walking etc., and have since gone onto more complex commands such as emergency recalls, staying with distractions, etc. Outside of teaching our puppy, I've also been able to shed many bad habits that I had in terms of training. The classes definitely have structure to them, but the trainers also allow enough flexibility where they're sure to address any issues that you're having, or will take time to focus on a specific command that you're interested in. I'll definitely continue our training here and wouldn't even consider going somewhere else. Liz is incredibly knowledgeable and great at what she does, our puppy loves going to class and makes a huge fuss when she greets her. I've met Jennifer on a few occasions as well, and it's clear that she too is incredibly experienced.
