    Before and after grooming shots of our goldendoodle.
    Kate F.

    We brought our 1 year old goldendoodle here for grooming for the first time recently after hearing some raving reviews about Helen's prior work with doodles --- and we were not disappointed. We interacted with several staff members, all of whom were friendly with us and especially with our pup. Historically, our dog threw herself at the ground and refused to walk into the grooming area at our last groomer, but she was excited to explore upon our arrival at PetSmart ---- we'll see if she is as excited next time, now that she's learned that it's just a new groomer, but it seemed like she might do better here. It had admittedly been a while since her last groom (I'm always sad when the fluff has to go!), but we do our best to brush her and avoid mats, so I was particularly grateful when Helen told us that she only shaves out mats when she absolutely has to as opposed to just immediately resorting to a razor. As a result, our pup's fur is a more consistent length than it had been at after other groomings, and she looks great! They also recommended a conditioner package, so her fur is soft and smells great. At just over $120, the price initially seems steep, but considering we have a 60 lb dog with a thick coat that was overdue for grooming, I think the end result was totally worth it. We'll definitely be back!

    My dog suffered a cut when the blade grazed his leg during grooming. They left a message but I was at another appt so they took him to a vet where he was checked and given antibiotics. The staff at Petsmart reported the bare facts of what happened and handed him back to me with the vet note and antibiotics. After this experience they didn't even offer a gift card. I would say in hindsight the staff looked very young and inexperienced. I won't take my dog there again. I really would advise not to take a small dog there.

    I went to get a fish and the associate that helped me was extremely rude and judgmental.

    I can't not say enough about Taylor and this service. We adopted a 4 year old pit just before…read moreChristmas. After Christmas my daughter who is in college was away for a few weeks and decided I to watch her dog while she was away. Our new dog attacked her dog and ended up with stitches and staples. I didn't know how to control or discipline our new dog. With Taylor's help we now have a very happy pit that we adore. I feel that I have more control over our new dog and he listens to me. Cannot thank Taylor enough.

    I had my first training session on Tuesday February 14. The…read moretrainer is Taylor Newton and my dog is named Dawgue. Dawgue is a 5-month-old mixed breed female puppy with a ton of energy and difficult to control. She is tipping the scale at 50 pounds already. Taylor taught me how to greatly improve Dawgue's response to the command "come" to me in about 15 minutes. I learned a lot about the psychology of dog and what motivates them to respond to my commands. After working with Taylor, I saw a great improvement in Dawgue's response to me in our first walk outside, she was much better behaved and is learning to come to me when told to do so. There is much to be learned by me and more training for Dawgue to help me reach my goal of having her walk beside me without a leash and not be distracted by other dogs, people and other critters etc. I am very encouraged that by working with Taylor and heeding his advice Dawgue and I will accomplish this goal. Thank you, Taylor. Regards Kevin

    I recently adopted a 9-month old dog and wanted to jump into training right away. I retained…read moresomeone who lived very close to me and had great reviews, but after a few sessions I realized our schedules were not compatible; I was not getting consistency and reliability from her. It's important for me to make progress with my dog, so I Googled alternate options and stumbled upon Alex's page. I called him on a Friday and he picked up the phone right away. We spoke for a while about my needs and he came out the following Tuesday for what was supposed to be a 2-hour visit. I fell in love with him immediately, he is not only so personable and likable on his own, but he really takes the time to LISTEN to what you need and work on those things right away. I had mentioned my priorities to my previous trainer, but I found that she was teaching my dog commands that didn't actually accomplish what I was after. In our first meeting, Alex worked on SO MANY of my priorities. He got my dog to go into her crate on command, taught her to "stay," showed me how to "walk with" my dog better on her leash, and (using a 30' leash outdoors) started working on recall with her. We were so immersed in what was going on that Alex started to go a little bit over our time, but he didn't want to stop because we were making such great progress. I told him if he wanted to give me a third hour right then and there that I was prepared to pay for it, and he did!! I learned a lot of things from Alex myself during our first meeting, like how to employ the use of "deltas" (which my old trainer never once mentioned) and how non-verbal cues are arguably more important than verbal ones. Again, my old trainer actually discouraged me from using hand motions, but once incorporating them into my routine I noticed that my dog was much more compliant than she had been. Another positive difference between my old trainer and Alex is he really takes the time to teach you why he's doing what he's doing, and encourages you to participate. My old trainer just taught my dog a command and had me replicate/practice when she left. Alex really makes you feel like you are a part of the teaching process. After our private session Alex recommended some "Small Group Therapy" for my pup. He came at noon on a Thursday to pick up my dog and she proceeded to go on a several-hour outing with his two chihuahuas and a dog he was fostering. The entire time he was out with her he was recording and sharing videos on an iCloud album. It was INCREDIBLE to not only see everything that was happening, but to hear him narrate why he was doing the things he was doing. I could not get enough of his videos and felt like I was there during the session. On top of Alex's excellent communication, punctuality, reliability, friendliness, competency, and effectiveness, his rates are OUTRAGEOUS in the BEST way! I truly believe he is under-charging for his services. I can get three hours with Alex for less than I paid for one hour with my prior trainer, and I feel much better about the work that is done during that timeframe. I adore Alex, and most importantly, what he is doing works. He really gets into the mind of your dog, and has such a wonderful way of connecting with them and their needs. I am elated to keep our work going - my pup has lots more Small Group Therapy outings in her future and it's wonderful that I have the option to use him one-on-one to teach her even more commands in the house. One day I hope to move on from essential commands to more fun ones, like "roll over" or "go get X toy."
