    They always do such an amazing job with my 2 year old Cattle Dog. He always smells so fresh & clean! I definitely trust them with my kiddo, hands down the best PetSmart !

    Doesn't look any different then when I brought him in

    Ok I hate to give bad reviews but I brought my mid length dachshund in for their so called furminator because he was shedding , and a FULL haircut. I told them what I wanted when I dropped him off- a full all over cut incl trim butt and paws, legs elbows and tummy like usual .. it was one of worst cuts ever and so uneven.. I literally cried , they didn't trim him evenly and barely took anything off , I paid 87.00 Dollars before I could see him and I went back in to tell them he needed more cut off his back of legs and stomach ears and even his tail was still dragging on the ground ..so she took him back quickly and she literally whacked all the feathers off his pretty tail and left his legs so uneven , it looks even worse now , I've had cuts before from my old groomer and it looked so much better , he came out silky and trimmed up real nice and very professionally done .. for $60.. not 87.00 without tip ! That is most expensive groom he has ever had , he wasn't even fully dry , I had to trim him myself when we got home to make him look even .. this is the second time they groomed my dog and it didn't look professional , as the last girl was new , she was supposed to be the senior groomer as that's who I asked for this time!! They don't know how to trim doxies properly I could have done a better job myself! I will Never come back here .. they are NOT professional groomers .. On top of that I didn't realized they didn't even trim his nails til I got home !!!! I don't like that they hold them up by his neck either as my other groomer put him in a small dog hammock while he literally falls asleep !! Don't go here to get a groom .. waste of money and the so called furminator is a joke !!

    My 2 lovely poodles got thier full bath/blowout/nails done absoulty perrrrrrrfect. Im very happy with thier talented crew of groomers.

    T did a beautiful perrrrrrfect 2 poodle groom today..we are surely going back. Thank you ,im so so happy.

    Ready for a nail trim and grind.

    Our 'big dog syndrome' Jack Russel has been known to try and eat his groomers some times. Not here, they loved him, held him while trimming his nails so it was s good experience for all. Thank you! We will skip the others and come here every time.

    See all

    We have a large (100+ pounds) 2 year old rescue pup who is great at home, but struggles with…read moreoverarousal around new people and other dogs. 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.

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.

I didn't realize just how great this store was until I had to run into a competitor store near our home. Wow, it was like night and day, the PetSmart Puyallup store on 31st street was far superior to the other big box competitor in all areas!! I also enrolled my puppy in the 6 week puppy training classes and our instructor has been very informative and helpful. My puppy had her first puppy trim with Ryleigh in the grooming salon and she did a great job! I also took advantage of the free puppy play date that they offer and it was a good experience for my puppy and the staff were great, and she even came home with a swag bag. Very impressed with this store and highly recommend it.

I'm looking for a wet floor, not your store to be completely closed at 8:48am, when Google says 7am open time. Do better Pet Smart. Don't worry, i'll take my $300 sale to Walmart across the street. Also, if you're going to kick me out, why don't you have the first employee i talked to do it, not 3 employees later after the first 2 so happily answered my question AND pointed me in the direction to find my product.

    My experience with Deborah has been very mixed. My dog is very well behaved with one exception -…read moreshe barks at the door. I scheduled a private session at my home with Deborah since this is the only place where my dog barks. She called ten minutes past our appointment time, asking if we were supposed to be meeting (we had scheduled this two days prior). Deborah and her trainees finally arrived, the training did go relatively well. My dog responded well to the techniques used, but I was very surprised that I was not involved in the training. I did not practice with my dog at all during the session. Also, the only thing my dog learned during the $150 session was to make eye contact when her name is called in order to earn a treat. A majority of the time was spent with Deborah and the two gentlemen she was training giving my dog treats in order to warm her up to them. In total the session was a little over an hour. While I was impressed that my dog stayed engaged for that long (usually during training she gets bored after about 20 minutes), I did not feel that the amount of improvement was worth $150. I emailed Deborah for advice the next day. My dog sleeps with me and was running to the front door to bark before I could command her to calm. This lead to a good amount of barking before I was able to get to her. It took two weeks to get a response and I was told that I was the problem and I needed to crate my dog at night. Crating is not an option because 1. I need my dog to sleep with me and 2. when we tried crating her originally she multiple times hurt herself trying to get out. The response was that I needed to spend more money on more training. I understand that one session can only do so much, but I really feel more could have been taught to me and that for the amount I paid there should be some more advice via email/phone to follow up.

    Continuing from first review:…read more We were DEVASTATED by what Kori had said to us. We absolutely love our two dogs, spend lots of time and money to help them be the best that they can be. I am curious to know how many people they've said this to?? Again feeling sad and hopeless, my husband almost put Loki down...but I refused and found a trainer that ending up saving his life. This trainer was the best thing that had happened to our dogs!!! Here's the thing. We listened, tried everything they told us. They gave us bad advice, did not teach us how to work our dogs and put us and our dogs in a bad situation at the dog park. It gives me a terrible stomach ache just thinking about what we all went through with this place and all the money wasted. -Deborah talks the talk, but does not walk the walk -Does not have experienced training staff -Uses only harnesses -They did not teach us the tools to be successful on our own -Found ourselves asking what we're supposed to do when we weren't at lessons, even when we asked for answers -Told us to put our dog down and to give the other away -Deborah only cares about getting paid. Loki did not get his third private lesson that we paid for.. And did not complete the full board & train If you have a dog who really needs help, especially with obedience or behavioral problems, message me and I'll tell you where we got real help and real results. I promise that you will not be disappointed. Don't make the same mistake we did.

Gina graciously helped us through my dog's reactive behaviors and taught me how to better understand him.

She truly has a way with dogs and can tell you everything just from their body language.

I recently went out of town for 4 days and was so thankful to board my dog with Gina because I was confident he would be well taken care of which allowed me to enjoy my vacation.
