Deep gouges in hair on back of both front legs
Christy B.

I have never had bass service but today I took my dog Sofie a golden doodle in-i asked for them to cut her the same as last time-she came out shaved with deep shaved pockets on her legs and several knocks on her tummy I paid as I always due having not seen her -when she came out we were shocked but we still tipped because we always do-my other dog was also groomed and looked great. They told us she was difficult which i have never been told before although she doesn't like being kenneled and will bark the whole time-i gave her a trazadone before taking her to help keep her calm for them-in the pictures I will share her picture from her last hair cut and what i asked for and the rest will be what she was today-but obviously they same number of cut was not done!!

The lines are usually crazy here but they are hiring so go help out if you're looking and love animals! This review is for the grooming department- AMAZING! I want to thank Chantelle for always taking such good care my finicky anxiety stricken lap dog with such great care. He always comes back so handsome and smelling great

Plenty of options for pet food, treats, accessories, and more. There's also Banfield Pet Hospital inside this PetSmart. I really appreciate and love that they held an adoption event here where a dog rescue saved a bunch of dogs from Korea.

Better lighting

Unsure how to leave a review for the groomers inside of this PetSmart so I hope this finds them well. My dog is 4 and I've taken him to groomers everywhere in Seattle, Bellevue and Renton. I recently brought him to the PetSmart groomer here in federal way and it's the best cut he's ever gotten! I mean look at him he's so freakin cute. I live in Seattle so it's a long drive to federal way but this was definitely worth it and I'd be happy to go back. The staff was friendly and my dog liked them. I also didn't have to wait super long until my dog was finished - he had the coconut spaw plus on top of a bath and cut so he had a lot of extras but still cheaper than any place I've paid for in Seattle. Really just look at how precise the cut is and the groomer did exactly what I asked for. I couldn't be happier and I can't get over how handsome my dog looks!!

See all

After our local training place closed we were looking for other options and committed to positive reinforcement training. Unfortunately a lot of trainers use aversives, especially with large strong dogs. We were so excited to find Julia, and after our meet & greet we were confident she was a good choice. Julia did a 2 week board & train with our dog while we were traveling, mainly focusing on leash skills and practicing calm behavior around exciting things. We noticed an immediate improvement, but have also been continuing to work on the training at home after our follow up. I'm happy to report that we are continuing to see improvement using Julia's methods.

From the owner: At Guiding Tails, I focus on building real, lasting relationships between you and your dog through…read moreclear communication, trust, and understanding. Rather than using tools that suppress behavior, my approach centers on changing how your dog feels, so they can move through the world with more confidence and less stress. I guide you step-by-step through real-life situations, helping your dog learn that you’re a safe, consistent source of support, especially when things feel overwhelming or uncertain. As an IAABC-ADT and Family Dog Mediator, I’m committed to ongoing education and science-based methods, so you always receive thoughtful, up-to-date guidance tailored to your individual dog.

Because this is obviously a cat place. Atmosphere: There's mats everywhere, most likely because a lot pee traverses here on a daily, but don't let that scare you away, the staff is very attentive at wiping everything down and they wash everything at the end of the day. There's a playground for them to go outside and play as well. The atmosphere is very relax and friendly. With a positive reinforcement on caring for your pets. (There is a lot of barking. Lol ._. But you see some wonderful dogs. I mean you can't complain about seeing cute dogs!?! Unless... you hate them and to that I have no kind words that can be said here or the Disney channel.) Costumer Service: They were nothing but a book of encyclopedia. (Of dog behavior of course. Lol) If the dogs would act out, they would break down the behavior and how to turn it around. They showed an immense dedication to their work and towards the customer and the fur customer. They were understanding about pricing and worked around to get the most out of our money and we couldn't of asked for a better time. Service: We took in Atreus (poodle) and he was very aggressive (I know!?! Howwww he's too cute and fluffy to be a douche bag! But it needed to stop. Lol No douches in my house.) They worked with me to point out the behavior issues, pointed out pointers to when I needed to be stern and let Atreus know that the behavior was unacceptable. The patience and care towards my dog went above and beyond. We did daycare as well and helped with socializing with other dogs and a daily summary of his progress when we would pick him. They also work with puppies as well. We put Cowli (the cow looking dog in the picture. [He looks like a cow and we got him in Cali, it makes sense to go with Cowli lol]) in as well for a couple classes and helped him a lot. Conclusion: If you're having fur problems, it's time to shave those worries away, if you want your dog to socialize like Robin Williams in the 80s (minus the drug issues) this is the place to drop him/her/she-he/piece of toast, with the patience and care of an adopted possum in a raccoon litter that a mom clearly doesn't understand why that one is weird looking but still ends up loving him, and just an overall good approach to dog training to improve a connection with your fur baby *cough* I mean son/daughter/sondaughter/piece of toaster.

We have video monitors in our home and we watch their visits sometimes. They talk to the cats and brush them and generally treat our pets as we would treat them ourselves. We usually pay them in advance using Zelle although they have other payment arrangements. They refill the water fountain and the automatic cat feeder and cleaned the litter box before we bought a Litter Robot. They are familiar with this machine and know how to change the catch bag in the tray. One of our cats requires a medication and they take care of that as well. We used to live less than 1/4 mile from their home but in April 2023, we moved to Des Moines, WA. That was still within their coverage area so they continue to help us. Very satisfied.

I did reach out today March 17th 2024..asking to pick up my house key and was advised it was discarded..after 5 years they apparently, (what I can assume because of no future reservations) discarded keys and just threw it away.

Please rethink your practices..especially when you have a key to someone's residence. Thank you

I could hardly walk him down the street, he was so reactive and aggressive. I wasted money on terrible DVDs and expensive private lessons with another trainer that got me nowhere. My dog was unmanageable and I didn't know what to do. I found Laughing Dogs online and contacted Cayce, who was infinitely patient and understanding towards my little terror. In just a few classes, my dog and I were working as a team. We both had such a good time in the classes and I was so impressed by his progress! My dog graduated to the Master's Class and people comment all the time now about how well-behaved he is. I take him everywhere now. We keep going to the Master's Class because it's so fun and I also want to keep his skills on point. I really don't know what I would have done without Laughing Dogs. Anyone looking for a dog trainer in the Davis area should check out Laughing Dogs right away!

I had adopted her from a rescue organization that didn't tell me the whole story about her past which caused her to be leash aggressive and nervous around other dogs. With just 6 weeks of this course, she had come so far, amd Cayce had set us up with a whole host of tips and tricks to work on with her so she could continue to progress after class was over. I only took off one star because one week Cayce wasn't the instructor and it was unfortunately our last class so I wasn't able to chat with her about what our next steps would be. The other trainer was good too, I just wish that I had known she wouldn't be there so that I could have had a last conversation with her!

He was good around other dogs in the home, but as soon as we were in public, he would lung and try to attack other dogs. It was not only stressful, but also embarrassing! I decided to hire Tom for 4 sessions and see if my pup Murphy still needed additional help. I also opted to meet Tom at his property in Renton instead of my home as he owns several large, high performance breeds and I wanted my dog to have exposure to them. I immediately started to notice a change in Murphy after our first visit. Tom offered practical, easy to use tools and commands, and showed me how to consistently implement them. He is an excellent teacher, flexible to work with, and his methods are very effective. He gave me confidence in my abilities to train my dog, and the desire to want to continue with individual training at home and outside the home. Now I have a dog I am very proud of and happy to take with me wherever I go. Murphy is still working on socializing, but I am happy to report we have visited several off leash dog parks, coffee places, Home Depot, and all different trails and walks through our neighborhood. He responds to my commands, and is a much happier dog because of his training. I would highly recommend Tom & TM Dog Training! Thank you Tom!
