    Pet grooming

    I took my pup for grooming Damian was very friendly with my pup! Can't wait to take her back with him

    Big wound from matted fur
    Carmie M.

    GROOMING REVIEW!! If you truly care about your pets, DO NOT book a grooming appointment here, especially with Annie V. Two of my dogs (white samoyed and tan lab) came here for a grooming session on July 20th. I had to deal with the poor outcome and finally have time to post a review now (7 days later) after taking care of my dog. At arrival, a PetSmart associate examined my dogs and deemed them healthy with no matting or wounds. I had asked if they can trim my dog's butt area but the associate mentioned that the groomer had to leave early that day. When it came close to pick up, PetSmart called me and said my white samoyed only needed a few more minutes to dry his paws. Upon pick up time, both dogs appeared thoroughly cleaned however later that night I noticed that my white dog's undercoat was still damp. This led to lots matting and itching. The following night I tried to comb out his fur myself but wasn't able to do it all. The next morning because of the matting and itching, my dog had licked himself crazy and tore through a patch of skin!! Now he has a huge oozing wound that needs antibiotics and topical spray to heal. Look at the included image for the size of the wound :( my poor baby is in an e-collar now to keep him from licking the wound and I'm still trying to brush his undercoat out Also you can see in my photos, my dog's ears are still very dirty. Ear cleaning is a part of the basic bath and brush but clearly the groomer was in such a rush that she didn't do her job properly for both of my dogs. PLEASE BEWARE AND ALWAYS CHECK ON YOUR DOGS IMMEDIATELY AFTER A SERVICE

    Dead.

    PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS PETSMART! I just visited the store today on August 11, 2021 and can conclude that this store and its employees DO NOT CARE for the animals whatsoever. These poor animals are living in poor conditions to the point where they are dying left and right. This location needs an inspection because the amount of animals dying is absolutely unacceptable. Corporate needs to train their employees to ensure that all the animals at the store are maintained and cared for humanely. These poor animals seem as if they do not get fed enough because they were eating one another! At first, I did not realize there was a dead hamster until I looked closer. One of the hamster's limbs were chewed down to its bones and the poor hamster's guts were spilling out. In another tank, I thought a bearded dragon was sleeping, but realized that it was dead because it was not breathing at all. As for the aquatic animals, there were an ABUNDANT amount of dead fish. By not removing these dead animals, it puts the other living creatures at risk as they are more likely to get sick. Worst experience in my entire life. I left the store feeling disgusted and sick myself...

    Our frenchie just went pee for no more than 3 seconds and this just spread and started to seep through underneath. Not good

    Right after Memorial Day weekend, went to Garden Grove location. The staff is absolutely awesome. Always smiling and so helpful. However, we purchased some pee pads from Top Paw item#5277052 regular 23x24 and 150 pads with 5 layers of leak protection and holds 8 cups. That was a total waste of money. We thought because it reads;holds 8 cups. We thought we could make it stretch abit. With Great Choice holding 2 cups those were good enough. Didn't seep through. Our dog would use it twice depending on how much and where he peed on the pad. So seeing this brand, we took a chance on it. That was a bad call. The pads from Top Paw barely hold his pee. We have to throw it out fast before it seeps through. These pads from Top Paw item#5277052 do not hold what they specify. I can usually stretch out the pad to be used twice when we use Great Choice. But these pads from Top Paw do not work. Photo included shows his pad just being peed on. And it wasn't even that much pee. It just spread quick. I should've took a photo of underneath the pad where you can see the moisture already setting in. But too late now. I may just have to go back to Great Choice Dog Pads. However, as much as we are completely dissatisfied with our purchase of Top Paw brand. There's one bag we bought before that. Top Paw Carbon Training Pads item#5337038 Those worked very good. Although we didn't see them during our last visit, that's why we bought the type I'm now complaining about. That carbon one did the job. So if I can find them again #5337038, I'll buy them. If not, I'm going back to Great Choice

    I almost didn't book with The Dog Guru because I saw a review calling him "verbally abusive," and…read moreafter working with him personally, I honestly could not disagree more. Pay ZERO attention to that review. As a psychologist, I pay very close attention to behavior, regulation, communication, and emotional energy, and at no point did I witness cruelty, aggression, intimidation, or abusive behavior toward me or my dog. What honestly amazed me most was that he never said one word to my dog. There was no yelling, chaos, or "training performance." It was all action, energy, body language, timing, and an understanding of canine psychology that I have never personally seen before. Before we started working together, Daisy was going after every dog she saw. Within two hours, we were calmly walking and standing next to dogs that were within a foot of her, even sniffing her, and she was completely relaxed. The transformation was honestly remarkable. I think some people may misunderstand firmness, honesty, or structure as being "mean," especially when dealing with difficult dog behaviors, but there is a huge difference between abuse and someone confidently leading both owner and dog. My experience felt safe, effective, loving, and honestly incredible. For the first time in a long time, I left feeling hopeful and relaxed instead of anxious. I am extremely grateful I trusted my own experience instead of one negative review.

His accolades can be found in so many of his advertisements which I'm sure are no doubt accurate. If you're going to pay a sum in advance to schedule a conversation, (as I did) , you may have to call him to remind him to call you on the last day that the call was promised . While, this truth may not sit well and I didn't actually hire him, no matter because your mileage may vary. He is a busy guy. All the best to you all.

We were so happy with everything that we decided to progress further by sending her to his 2 week boot camp at 16 months old. When I asked why such a good dog would go to boot camp, Vladae responded with, "Same reason that the smartest kids go to university, to become all they can be and hone their skills." That made sense to me! If it was any other boot camp I would have been nervous about my baby. I know how well Vladae treats his campers though and his focus on health and exercise. "Only the tired dog is the good dog" Thank you Vladae!

    As a first-time Cavapoo owner, I felt completely overwhelmed with the process of dog training and…read morehad no idea what to expect. It honestly brought back the feeling of being a first-time parent--questioning every decision, but without a nurse hotline for guidance. My husband and I were especially struggling with how to manage Chloe around our young kids. She was very unruly, reactive on walks, and difficult to control around other dogs. We found SoCal Dog Training through a friend's referral, and choosing Vladae ended up being one of the best decisions we've made. I'll admit, I was skeptical at first--so many trainers promise results--but Vladae truly delivers. The onboarding process was seamless. The initial FaceTime consultation helped set clear expectations, and I really appreciated how upfront and honest he was about the work required. What stood out most to me was his long-term commitment--knowing I could always come back for refreshers gave me a lot of confidence that I wasn't just getting a short-term fix. The training sessions are where the transformation really happens. After each session, it genuinely felt like we had a new dog--but that's also where the responsibility comes in. You have to consistently follow through with the exercises he gives you. In many ways, it reminded me that investing in my dog's future takes the same consistency and commitment as investing in my two kids. She's now quite literally my third kid. Chloe used to be extremely reactive--barking, pulling on the leash, and even jumping up on our toddlers. Vladae helped me understand the root of her behavior and showed me how to properly address it. Now she's calm, more confident, and walking her has become something I actually enjoy. Seeing that transformation has been incredibly rewarding. It wasn't an easy process, but it was absolutely worth it. Also, a special shout-out to Antonina for being so kind, responsive, and accommodating with scheduling.

Our dog was working with Bryan who gave updates on the days promised with no delays. We have a husky who is a bit skittish and of course a tad stubborn. When we watched her videos, she clearly was getting the training down well! Once we came home and picked her up, Bryan made it easy to understand the next steps and has consistently followed up with us to check how she's doing. It was suggested to train with an electric collar. My partner and I were considering it ourselves but didn't know how to use it properly. The SMS team have you try it - I wouldn't try something like this on my dog without knowing what it feels like a promise you, it's not at all painful. Since using it, our dog has followed commands and even does things naturally like being right at our side while walking or sitting and staying. We've only just begun and it's been great results. We hope that this keeps up and that once we ween off it, she'll be an even better dog. Two last things. They also understand a dog is a dog, her release command is literally "go play". Bryan helped train to lifestyle and our dogs specific needs. Secondly, they coordinated trainings on holidays - we flew in Christmas Eve morning and they easily accommodated us in such great manner.

Ryan has been so great with us - patient, kind, accommodating and always goes above and beyond when I have questions or need some extra guidance. He's taken extra time and care to understand Max's personality and needs so he can guide me too, since all dogs are different, and I've learned so much about my own body language and energy and how it contributes to the training process. Ryan ALWAYS follows up, checks in and makes sure to ask if I have any more questions. Max has a really strong bond with him as well, which makes me very happy to see and feel more comfortable if I need to leave him to board and train for any more work he might need. Super grateful for Ryan - and I highly, highly recommend him!! Cindy is also absolutely fabulous - she helped me so much when we realized that Max just needed a little bit of extra work and attention. They've both really made all the difference in my experience with training a newly adopted, reactive and high energy pup!

As he settled in my home, he became increasingly aggressive towards other people -- friends, family, and strangers alike, whether in the home or outside of the home. Sully was even aggressive towards my husband, and it felt like I was at a loss. I needed to do something before he actually ended up hurting someone. After explaining what was happening with Sully with the organization I was fostering from, they said they would need to put him down for the safety of the community. I couldn't let that happen, so I decided to keep him and find professional help. This is where John came in. After doing research online, I came across his Yelp page, where there were raving reviews of him helping aggressive dogs, so I took a chance. On his first day meeting John, Sully growled, hissed, and lunged at John. Sully tried to bite both him and me. John spent about an hour with me explaining what was going to happen and some training basics, and honestly, it was hard for me to focus because I was so nervous of Sully hurting someone in the moment. John was very patient, and showed me 5x how to hold a leash properly because I just couldn't focus from nervousness. I've never seen Sully so aggressive, and John explained it's because it was the first time someone was checking him and keeping him in his place. Sully stayed with John for a little over two weeks, and in that time, they went on ADVENTURES. I mentioned to John that Sully was afraid of water, aggressive with strangers, and other very specific things, and John made sure to tackle all of them. He sent me pictures and videos of his adventures throughout their time together. They went on a ferry, hiked to a waterfall, and so so much more. When there was a concern or something to celebrate, John was sure to communicate with us what was going on. In addition, due to personal circumstances, we needed to have Sully stay with John a few more days, and John was so understanding and accommodated us. I finally have my sweet boy back, and I see so much of a difference. He is calmer, more responsive, and he's running through my sprinklers now. LOL. It still takes him a bit to warm up to other people, but he's not as on guard or on edge as he was before. I'm excited to continue his progress at home, and I'm sure we will see John and Sara for future stays! Here are just a few of my favorite pictures of his adventures with John and Sara. :)

I attended an Obedience 2 session on September 27th. When I arrived, the waiting area outside had a strong smell of urine, which made me question how often that space is cleaned. During class, we were given a plate for treats, and I wasn't comfortable using it without knowing how frequently they're sanitized. Before attending, I had called for help with the app because I was unsure how to manage the class schedule. I was advised to try the first class before committing to anything else, and I asked to be removed from all waitlists. Even so, the next day--September 28th--I was still added to another class I had specifically asked not to be enrolled in. I canceled it immediately and requested confirmation that I wouldn't be charged for it. On September 30th, I emailed to request a refund for the unused classes. I was told I'd only be charged for the one session on the 27th. My total charge was $405, and I expected to be refunded everything except that single class. Instead, it wasn't until I filed a dispute with my credit card company that on October 25 I received a refund for only $324. I was charged for the class on September 28. I followed up multiple times from September through November 22nd--about six emails in total--and each time I was told that "Vince was out of the office" and that my refund was still being handled. I am still waiting on that refund. I shared this feedback with them directly because I do think simple improvements--like suggesting owners bring their own bowls or a mat for their dog--could make a difference. I was genuinely hoping to return in the future for trick or scent classes, but the lack of customer service and the difficulty getting a straightforward refund left me very disappointed. I hope they take this as constructive feedback and make changes that improve the experience for other dog parents.
