    Up for Adoption.
    Shonta' H.

    This store is short staffed, didn't have a bunch of things we were looking for, and we wanted to adopt "Silk" the female black cat, however, our trip to this store was really a waste of time as we were told to come back tomorrow. According to a staff member that worked in the grooming center, she had to train one of her staff members to be able to operate the register in order to help out. We live uptown in NW, DC near Howard University. It took us an hour to get through traffic to get to this store only for us to be disappointed. So that the trip didn't feel like a total waste, the only thing we bought were cat treats for our only black cat, Fred.

    Traumatizing experience with the grooming department!! My Labradoodle had an appointment @ 9:00 am with Tyana today, all went well at check-in and we were told to wait for a call for pickup. At 10:47 am we get a call from Tyana stating we need to pick Lexi up because she has fleas and that they gave her THREE (3) flea baths... that amount cannot be safe!!! I have never experienced fleas with my pets so I was shocked!!! I went to pick up our dear Lexi... and she was soaked. They sent my poor dog home dripping wet & cold!!! It was in the 60s outside!! I felt like we did the walk of shame leaving Petco, in front of so many people and dogs in the store as she was slipping on the floor unable to gain footing because she was soooo wet!!! I will never go back to petco again after that traumatic experience. My poor baby! I hope whatever "flea treatment" does not harm her!!! I had to towel dry her then blow dry her at home... then brush her out!!! Absolutely awful!

    Wait is that me? Time for a pawdicure

    Hands down the worst petco I've ever been to! The store is pretty old and dirty looking. The two times I've been here they have been out of my dogs dry food (Canidae Salmon), I've never had an issue finding it at any other petco. What really bothers me about this location is the grooming salon, what a waste of my time! I brought my chihuahua dogs for nail trims, and was told they couldn't cut some of my dogs nails because who knows why? They told me I should take them to a vet and have them do it, but of course they still charged me because they were able to cut some. Again, fist time I've ever experienced an issue with someone not being able to cut my dogs nails at a grooming salon!!! I ended up taking my dogs to the Pet Smart down the street, and the lady that helped me couldn't understand why they couldn't cut the nails at Petco, she was also nice enough to not charge me a dime, even though she should have! She cut their nails in 2 mins. My husband without knowing about my past experience brought them to petco for a second time for nail trims a few weeks later, only to experience the same thing!!!!!! They told him they couldn't cut all their nails because the dogs are too small!! O-M-G!!!! Unbelievable, same drill he ended up going to Pet Smart. Needles to say we won't come to Petco anymore!!! What a joke and waste of time!

    Exhausted after being groomed for the first time.

    The outward appearance of the store looks vacant and as if it is about to close. Subconsciously I patronize this store because I don't want it to close. The store is small, but has all of the standard pet store items. I typically go to this store for dog food, fish food, dog clothing, and dog treats. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The managers introduce themselves to you. They are the primary reason I am loyal to this store. I have used the grooming salon once (so far) for my Toy Poodle/Bichon Frise. I was satisfied with the results, and would consider allowing them to groom her again. I really wish they had a vet like PetSmart does. That would be quite helpful. Perhaps in the future.

    The closing manager who ignored me at 8:57 pm and laughed at me waiting by the door. She scurried when she saw me taking the picture.

I…read moreenrolled my puppy, a red standard poodle, in her classes, and very quickly realized she was exactly the kind of trainer I had been searching for. She is clearly knowledgeable and skilled, but what truly sets her apart is her holistic approach and genuine care for animals. She treats every dog as an individual and tailors her training to meet each one's specific needs. That same thoughtful approach extends to her human clients. During this time, I was dealing with significant health challenges and was not able to attend every class. She kindly offered makeup sessions, which I deeply appreciated. When she learned that my absences were due to my health, she checked in on me personally and even asked if it was okay to call me at home to see how I was doing. Her compassion meant more to me than I can easily express. She showed more care and concern than many people I have known for decades. Anyone looking for a dog trainer should go to her, not only for her expertise, but because she is genuinely kind, attentive, and deeply invested in both her clients and their dogs.

Bringing her pup feels like full circle, which says everything about my experience. April is knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly effective at tailoring guidance to each dog's temperament and each handler's skill level. I especially appreciate how she focuses not just on obedience, but on building confidence, socialization, and a strong relationship. Seeing the progress from one generation to the next has been really special, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with those critical early training foundations.

Pebbles (blue heeler, 1.5 years old) would never listen to me, would not sit or lay still, and had a lot of other obedience issues that caused her to be stressed or confused. She was a TOUGH dog to train and I was concerned I couldn't find the solution for her to get basic concepts. This view has completely changed since working with RSK9's 3 week program. I would HIGHLY recommend them and their methods - you can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and it's made a huge difference in giving my dog the chance to find real rest at home. They send DAILY updates with photos and videos which was so nice. This isn't a regular class or something you just pay for; it's truly an investment that you and your dog will be using for the time you get to share together. Side note: it's worth doing 3 weeks versus 2 weeks. At the 2 week mark is when Pebbles really started to understand her marks and cues. From here there is so much more that can be refined and Brandi/Perry really capitalize on that threshold being crossed!

    Our family highly recommends Controlled K9! We adopted our boy Mortimer last year after he had been…read moreliving as a stray, and we were really struggling when he came home with basic manners, reactivity, and having him settle in with our other dog. We ended up sending both of our boys for a six-week board and train with Kelia. It seemed to only make sense to send both dogs so they would have the same baseline training. Kelia was amazing! She kept us informed just about every day with videos and texts so we could see that the boys were happy and making progress. When Kelia brought the boys home, she spent a few hours with us, showing all the commands and techniques that she taught them, so we had a seamless transition. The "place" command alone has been lifechanging. (Although as you can see in the picture, they sometimes refuse to use separate mats, LOL.) We use the command before we feed them, initially when guests come by, and when we just need them to settle down a bit. It has reduced the stress and chaos in our house tenfold, and we actually can see the boys relax when they know they have a place to go and chill out. Kelia also gave us the tools to make leash walking and general obedience so much more successful. There are a lot of options out there for training. What set Controlled K9 apart for us was (1) our boys lived with Kelia, her family, and her dogs during training - they were not staying in a kennel and were in a real-life, loving environment, and (2) the promise of lifetime, free follow-up support. The boys have been home now for about 3 months. The training has stuck, and we feel like we really have the tools we need to make life pleasant for all of us, including the boys. Kelia has also proactively checked in to make sure things are going well, provided tips on the best way to reinforce training, and has responded quickly when we have follow-up questions, including offering a visit. Over three months later, we are still completely satisfied with the training and support provided by Controlled K9 and Kelia, and we would use them again in a heartbeat.

Since he's worked with her over the five-week training period, he's made a complete 180. Now we're able to walk around the city and not have him bark at every dog we see on the street. I want to point out that because my dog is innately anxious, it affects his physical state too with eating and other issues. Kelia shared that she used to be a vet tech and made me feel the most comfortable and confident with helping me set up a plan for when he might have an episode due to the transition and what all would take place to ensure he would be okay, loved, and healthy. Long story short, she cared for him for the days he was struggling, kept me updated, and he came out of it because she was purposeful, knowledgeable, and more than capable to handle the situation. I can't recommend Kelia enough for anyone seeking support and/or confidence in how they can better work with, love, and respect their dog. Bonus, she's genuinely such a joy of a human being!

I cannot overstate how incredible the owner, Katie, and office manager, Lynda, are. And my comments--already verging on superfluous--would sound even more so if I described how fantastic our regular walker (but really, family member), Dolores, is- she is kind, caring, and we, and our pups, love her. We have asked Fairy Dogmom to walk our pups (three, poorly trained cavaliers--which is no easy task!), feed our kitties, board our dogs, and also stay at our home to take care of the full menagerie (three dogs and two cats). Fairy Dogmom has fulfilled all of our requests and done so reliably and with the utmost care and attention. For "normal" dog walks, we receive comprehensive and fun updates, complete with a narrative and photos, and when we have had a Fairy Dogmom stay with our dogs and cats, it's like we have left them in the capable and loving hands of a best friend--who updates us constantly by email about how our crew is doing. We recently lost one of our sweet dogs to cancer, and Dolores, Katie, and Lynda could not have been kinder, or more supportive, through a very tough month. Communication, billing, and payment are all A++ as well! In case it's not clear, we could not recommend Fairy Dogmom enough.
