If you are debating doing the dog training classes, do it!!! The trainer, Abigail, is awesome! You can tell she loves what she does, and she is sure great at it! I've had experience with another trainer at a different PetSmart location, but Abigail truly stands out. With her help, you leave each session feeling more confident and seeing real progress! Will definitely be bringing my dog back for more classes

I like this new location. The store is very clean and well organized. Every single staff member is always so helpful and happy to help. I started going exclusively to this store for those reasons. I find sale items all the time and really neat items I never thought to buy before. I see lots of people bringing in their pets for the training sessions, so I'll be giving that a try soon. Can't wait to come back for training and grooming.

Clean store, well stocked, and friendly staff. Take my dogs for grooming every 6 weeks and they treat my babies with care and love.

Abby made everything easy to understand and gave us practical tools we could use at home, which made a huge difference.

The backstory. Jackson had been in and out of a few homes by the time he came to us. He was an…read moreadult dog, 100 lbs of power with no boundaries, reactive around other dogs, pulled while on a leash...the list goes on. We spoke with Morgan at K9 Off Leash regarding their programs. Morgan took the time I needed to ask questions to determine the right program and the right trainer. My spouse and I decided on the in-person, 8 week dog aggression program with Kyonia Brooks. Kyonia has a breadth of experience ranging from shelters to veterinarian hospitals to animal control and - the point that drove home for me: police canine training. Again, Jackson is a big boy, weighing in at 100 lbs of power with no boundaries so we needed someone experienced that wouldn't be intimidated. At our first meeting with Kyonia we reviewed the program and expectations. We hit it off with Kyonia immediately. We could tell this was dog training and handler training which is what we needed to help set boundaries for Jackson. And from my research prior to calling K9, dog training is really about people training so we were in good hands. After the first session there was already a noticeable difference. Within just a few sessions, we already had a new dog and Jackson was on his way to a new and permanent home (finally!). Jackson was walking on a leash without pulling, he was social with other dogs, he was off leash at the dog park and making fur friends. This was remarkable since he was very reactive to dogs just a few weeks prior. The training was working! Again, Kyonia was teaching us so we were learning how our behavior was feeding into his negative behavior. On command, he knew how to: heel, stay, sit, come, down, down from afar, off and place. At this point, we started taking him to various stores to try him in and around crowds with plenty of distraction. He continued to heel by our side, sit, stay and down on command at one end of the aisle while we would "browse items" at the other end of the aisle without moving. (More like fake browse while side eyeing Jackson to be sure he was following command.) He would look at people as they walked by but stayed in command. Proudly, I must say that at the end of our very first store outing (big box hardware and lumber store), one of the employees came up to me to say that he was the best behaving dog that had ever been in the store. She was astonished this was his first outing. She thought for sure we were training him to be as a service dog. I responded, no just a good dog. ;) Soon after, Jackson was walking off leash. This was not our goal or expectation, even though the name of the company has it in their name. #TotalBonus The goal was two fold: give Jackson boundaries and have him become the dog that matched our lifestyle & teach us how to set the boundaries while instilling him with his own confidence. Goal accomplished! Friends and family all commented on a totally different dog. We get comments from folks all the time at stores, the park, the dog park, campgrounds and hikes on such a well behaved dog with excellent recall. Thank you Kyonia and K9 Off Leash!

We love Off Leash K9. We rescued "Xena" Princess, a Belgian Malanois Sherpard mix when she was 2…read more1/2 yrs. old. She had No training and very anxious and frightened from her past. Kyonia Brooks from Off Leach K9 Training came to our home and within a few training sessions, our Rescue Dog. "Xena" now became secure, obedient, a great walker and follows all commands. She is loving, good around our friends and family visiting now. She adores her new home and we adore her. Of course, we also needed training, as her parents, which Kyonia did a wonderful job with us as well. We highly recommend Of Leash K9 as one of the best trainers we have ever had for our German Shepards. Thank you, Bev & Phil

What a relief it is to be gone a week on vacation returning home to a very content 18 year old cat…read more( that we always think is dying) and a year and a half old dog that acted like I just returned from the market. How fortunate to find Kat and her team who are professional, provided great communication, pictures and videos, and I had a worry free time away. From the moment my pets met Kat, she commanded instant respect. Kat has that magic that animal respond to. My dog Bella watched her like a hawk and did everything she asked when she said it. Even things I didn't think she would understand! I realized in that moment my dog has been ignoring me! LOL Go ahead book your stay with Kat now, I already booked our next trip with her. I selfishly almost didn't want to share her if you know what I mean.

I've sent my mini Sheltie puppy to Kat's in-home Board and Train program twice now and she has done…read morean OUTSTANDING job with him!! He first went for 7 nights when he was 4.5 months old and again for a 3 night refresher to reinforce existing skills and learn an important new command once he was more mentally mature at 7 months old. Kat took the time to really understand his lifestyle and shape his training goals with me ahead of both stays and both times we got back a happy, healthy and focused pup who loves to show off his tricks and manners! He was understandably a little nervous the first time we dropped him off but the second time he was thrilled to be back, which just shows how much fun he had there with her!! You can tell that Kat cares deeply about the dogs she works with and I'm so glad we found her out here in the desert. I highly recommend the customizable board and train service to provide structure, fundamentals and/or personalized learning (then you just need to stay consistent at home continuing to reinforce the new skills). Thank you Kat for all you've taught Ozzie - we will definitely be back!
