    Would highly recommend Tam for all of your training needs! Tam emphasizes a positive, relationship-based approach that made our little Otis excited to practice his skills. Thank you, Tam!

    Wash basin
    Kate F.

    This is a convenient and very reasonably priced feature of Petco. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I could no longer wash my dog outdoors due to the drop in Atlanta temperatures and found this great indoor self serve wash station. The store gives you a basket of folded towels, shampoo, a rubber brush, and a wrapped dog treat. The basin is very large and cleaned out. There are hot/cold control handles and a non slip Mat. There is a collar attached to the basin with a rubber suction on the metal tub, so it's effective in keeping the dog secure, but won't strangle them if they try to jump out. The shampoos smell good and they have different types for different skin. The blow dryer can scare the dog, but it gets the dog dry much quicker. Finally, there are sprays to give your dog a nice fresh, not too heavily scented, smell. This place is a Decatur gem, great alternative to your personal tub or the outdoors - and only $10!

    Elsa and her training certificate!

    The Petco on November. Decatur Rd. doesn't do grooming, so call a different store if that's what you're looking for.

    A close friend referred me to Josh when my puppy Jojo's defiant, adolescent stage had me stumped…read more My friendly, outgoing, submissive, and obedient puppy soon developed an "I'll get to that later" response to my corrections and not only knocked over toddlers in excitement at the park, but now jumped up to kiss adult faces in a less than gentle way, and sometimes even disappeared into the woods only to return on her own schedule. As someone who grew up around dogs in a rural setting, my basic and quite lenient dog-raising skills came up short in my now urban and backyard-free setting. Josh helped me re-frame Jojo's off-leash shenanigans, over-excitement around strangers and guests, and general puppy-like behavior beyond young puppy-hood as her way of dealing with a lack of boundaries and structure. He encouraged me to use my self - not increasingly elaborate treats or training products - as my main tool, and to revise my relationship with Jojo, giving her reason to turn to me for direction and guidance. He also worked with me on finding realistic solutions for me and my lifestyle in a nonjudgmental way, while being honest about the sometimes slow nature of large and long-lasting changes. Well, it turns out Jojo thrives on structure and, not only does she respond well to boundaries, she craves them! I've seen a great shift in both our interactions and her overall behavior, and am confident that she will continue to grow into a great, well-balanced adult dog and perfect companion.

My yorkie was having leash reactivity to other dogs and would attempt to lunge and attack them. I had even been bitten in the process of calming him.

By the end he had both walking together! He is worth every cent. Josh has such a calm way of working, he listens, and adjusts his recommendations to fit your needs.

Jonathan was able to come over and spend time with me and my Dog and do an assessment. He was as kind and professional as could be. He has a depth of knowledge about how and why dogs behave the way that they do. He was patient with both me and my Dog. Jonothan also served as an expert witness in the eviction case my landlord brought against me. He was an expert on my behalf. He took the witness stand and spoke with great clarity and expertise about how and why my dog is the way he is. I could see the jurors nodding in agreement with his professional and in depth observations. Jonathan was so generous with his time and his expertise. He is a teacher and an advocate and someone who is committed to doing right by people and by dogs. He was a really great addition to a team that helped me win my case. After the jury came back in my favor and the case was over we were allowed to ask the jurors some questions. They all were impressed with Jonathan's clear and fact-based analysis. If you want or need someone to help you learn more about why your dog acts a certain way who can communicate clearly with knowledge and integrity than Mr. Shahor is a great person to call. I'm very glad that he was on my side. Thanks, Jonathan!

Scott got a great review on Next Door. he offers a 30 minute complimentary conversation by phone. we spoke a bit about Schatzi's problem. he suggested a 3 visit pkg and i couldn't get my credit card out fast enough. from our conversation, i knew i was in good hands. what was really great about Scott was it wasn't a 1 size fits all fix. he offers advice in between scheduled visits, either on the phone or text, if needed. i took advantage of that because i didn't want to be 'off track' on my part of the training. he tweaked the training when something wasn't working. the amount of time he gave me was amazing and he basically completely transformed my dog. feeding time is low stress now. Schatzi still is not 100% there but definitely more than manageable and the aggression and guarding is gone. this guy knows his stuff and Schatzi was putty in his hands. if you're ready to give up, don't, call Scott.

She was 2 years old and was in a home where another dog attacked her multiple times. Her humans unselfishly decided that Olive deserved a better home and put her up for adoption. When I took Olive she suffered from severe fear aggression towards other dogs. Scott got me on the right track with her rehabilitation. His program made a big difference in her behavior right away. Over the past two years I have faithfully practiced the training techniques Scott taught me. You wouldn't believe the difference in Olive now. She is a happy, healthy and thriving little dog. She has progressed to the point where she can enjoy private agility lessons, playing with other dogs in dog parks, going to doggie day care occasionally and long walks with her human. She is still a little leash reactive when she sees another dog but no longer fearful, just excited. She continues to improve and I am confident she will become more dog neutral on lead in time. Working with Scott, one on one, was so helpful for me and Olive. Give him a call.

Amy and Lillian are kind, experienced, and genuinely want you to be a better partner to your dog. I also really appreciate the post-session recaps they'd send, along with links to resources.

Amy and Lillian were absolutely wonderful in giving us the tools to support our dog (they trained us as much as they did Peanut :) ).

Amy and Lillian prioritize positive reinforcement which we loved and was so effective for our dog. We would see them forever if we could to reinforce the good behaviors our dog has learned!

I adopted Samson on a Monday and needed a dog walker for the next three days...a nurses shift is far too long to leave a dog home alone. Kelli came to the rescue! Even though it was so last minute she came over and met Samson that night. Truthfully, I could tell it was love at first sight for Sam. She greeted him with a big hug, pets and kiss. Made me feel like my pet was going to be in good hands. Since that day Kelli has been working with my overly rambunctious Boxer Mix 2-3 days a week. I opted for her "playcare" option to give Samson more time out of the house and more time spent getting socialized with other dogs. Samson loves to play with other dogs but is a little socially awkward and needs a little guidance. Kelli, an incredible dog trainer, has been great at working with him om that. Doggie "playcare" is more than a walk, she picks Samson up and he goes all around town with her. They go to the dog park, on other dog walks, and on their own walks. Most days she will take him for 6-7 hours. I love that I can come home exhausted from work and not feel guilty about not taking Samson on another walk because he's equally as exhausted! $25/day for playcare. Kelli also does boarding and vacation walks. She has done boarding for us. Samson gets to stay at her house, play in her back yard, and she'll crate too if the human wants that. Another awesome perk for Kelli's boarding? She even picked up and dropped off Samson since we had both an early departure and late return flight. She also only charges $40/night. Like I said before, I can't say enough great things about Kelli. She loves the animals she's with and makes everything incredibly convenient!

We got our pet's vaccines here recently when we missed our normal low cost pet vaccine monthly clinic and it wasn't that much more. The staff were sweet with our dog and the paperwork wasn't too bad, although the heart worm medicine they tried to sell us wasn't the cheapest. On our last visit we paid about $40 for a basic bath for our dog which seemed kind of pricey (I don't understand why the "materials" are a separate and extra cost, why not just include that in the price, I don't want to feel like I'm purchasing tickets on Ticketmaster). We booked our appointment and they told us at our on time drop off to come back in 2 hours. When we expressed surprised they told us this was better than some of the normal wait times. So I'm getting that this is the standard car dealer oil change, you have an appointment but it doesn't actually mean much? I'd rather choose a place the appointment team is meaningful in the future. Other than that, they have a good variety of supplies, toys, pet accessories, and food options of course here and the staff seem knowledgeable and friendly.

Renique was the salon manager, and under her leadership, everything ran smoothly. It's clear she left due to an unfavorable work environment, and the atmosphere has gone downhill since. My dog, Prince -- a vibrant senior who has always been calm and well-behaved -- was unfairly labeled "overly sensitive," denied services, blacklisted, and blocked from booking grooming appointments online. This never happened under Renique's gentle, professional care. These actions raise serious concerns about how animals are treated at this location. We'll be following Renique to her new workplace, no matter how far, because she treats Prince with the kindness, patience, and respect every pet deserves.
