    I'm not sure if pet groomer Christina still works there but if she does I hope she reads this review or someone tells her. Our chihuahua Hailey loved Christina every time she did her grooming. Our dog was a senior dog and Christina made sure she was gentle with her. She always left her super clean and smelling good. The bonus was the cute little bandana she would put on Hailey. She looked cute! Sadly our furbaby Hailey passed away on 8/17/24 due to old age and other health issues. My husband and I recommend Christina 100%

    Thank you Dina for saving my baby's claws! We brought our baby in when her claws had grown a little too long and Dina grinded and trimmed them to perfection in addition to shampooing, brushing and drying. She came out looking and smelling amazing! Thank you! I wanted to give 5 stars but we had a bad experience the last time we came here. We booked for a Saturday afternoon and the email notification we got said it would take 1-2 hours but when we arrived we were told it would be closer to 3-4 hours and we ended up having to cancel reservations for a movie later that night. I totally understand that the grooming can take longer on the weekends but I wish they would let you know beforehand! Otherwise, everything else was great.

    Employees are very friendly and they always have food for my snake and dog in stock ! The prices are reasonable and easy to locate inside the store. WE APPRECIATED the santa pictures with my dog every year.I have them all.

    I just want to say thank you to Viola! She is always so sweet, kind, and accommodating and our family truly loves her! We come back specifically for her because she always takes care of our babies and works with our busy schedules and that kind of care is hard to find in customer service! Thank you Viola for always making Pebbles and Puddles look their best! We appreciate you and all the hard work you do

    After Christina bathed and brushed my dog.

    I suggested for my daughter to have her goldenddodle (Maui) bathed and brushed by Christina A. At first she stated that there was a PetSmart that was closer to her house. After she compared the Yelp reviews, she thought that it was worth the drive to have their dog bathed and brushed in Rosemead. When she got home from work, she video chatted with me. She wanted me to see how Maui looked. He looked very fluffy. I was highly impressed with Maui's sanitary trim and very clean ears. The groomer that they previously took Maui to did not do a good job with Maui's sanitary trim and ears. Their previous groomer had excuses as to why she did not completely pull or shave the hair within Maui's ears. I am very thankful that Christina A. meticulously cleaned Maui's ears. At least now, Maui will stop scratching his ears. I would highly recommend purchasing PetSmart's Ultimate Savings Package promotion. I purchased 9, and will be getting 3 free. That is a monthly bath and brush for my maltipoo. My daughter also purchased the same Ultimate Savings Package for her goldenddodle.

    Brought my baby girl here for some much needed grooming. She's shy around new people and does not like baths, yet the emloyees here handled her very well. They were friendly and gentle with her. The nail grinding was also done well. After the grooming was finished, I came to pick up my baby girl and received a pet assessment from the employee. I really liked this because it shows what grooming services were done and how my puppy behaved during the visit. The grooming salon is located on your right side once you go through the entrance of PetSmart. It's super easy to make an appointment online, which is great because my puppy will be back for more baths, brushing, and nail grinding.

I thought I can just follow tutorials online, but none of the methods worked. I decided to get a professional and found Master Dog Training through Yelp. I read all the reviews and was impressed with how many dogs he had trained. Different breeds and ages. I texted him and he provided me all the information and we confirmed a date. I saw a promotional price for Temple City, but since I am at another city, it is a different price. I did text him a day before our appointment to remind him just in case, per our agreement. My puppy is getting the "DOG OBEDIENCE TRAINING: Commands and Problem Behaviors, pulling on leash, dumpster diving, counter surfing, mild barking, potty training, jumping, digging, chewing, nipping, not listening. NOT FOR DOGS WITH AGGRESSION or FEAR!" A total of 5 sessions, once a week, 55 minutes per sessions. This training is done at my place and indoor. By the end of his training, he learned 18 commands in 5 weeks! Please note that it also depends on your effort and if you're training your dog daily with what was taught. Mike is great with our puppy! Turns out he owns the same breed as me. From my perspective, he trained my husband, me and my puppy altogether. If you're doing something wrong, he would tell you. He is patient, always on time, and so kind to my puppy. I especially love the graduation ceremony. I was holding in my tears. Overall, we are very happy with Mike and the result.

We are very happy with Michael's approach to training. He is effective and nurturing, but firm and very patient. We prefer his style of training as it is supportive and encouraging. When discipline is needed, we have firm commands that Michael taught us. He also provides tips for helpful products like corrector spray and developmental and age appropriate toys. His "graduation" ceremonies are so fun! We had a standing weekly appointment, but Michael was flexible when things came up and responds to any calls/texts in a timely manner. We plan to return for advanced training to continue our puppy's learning.

Daisy and Koda have very different temperaments, but Francesca was able to adapt her approach to meet each of their individual needs perfectly. If your dog is leash pulling and taking control of your walks, Francesca can give you the tools to lead your dogs in a more balanced walk. What I appreciated most was her focus on clear communication. She didn't just work with the dogs; she taught me how to lead them effectively so the training actually stuck at home. It is a continued work in progress, but now I have the tools to be consistent and train my dogs and future dogs. Whether it was working on leash manners or basic boundaries, the progress is incredible! If you're looking for a trainer who truly understands dog behavior and treats your pups like her own, I can't recommend Francesca enough. She is an avid dog lover and wants all dogs to acheive a better quality of life. Daisy and Koda are much more balanced now, and our walks are actually enjoyable!

My very alpha dog needed a lot of training and Dawit turned him into a more calm alpha dog who knows his place at home and in public. I'm so very thankful and cannot be more happy with how much of a good boy my dog is. As a first time dog carer, I've learned so much from Dawit and would definitely recommend his training to anyone.

    Where do we even start? Our dog, Cooper, was adopted from a shelter after being surrendered twice…read more We quickly learned that he struggled with severe separation anxiety and couldn't be left alone. We became prisoners in our own home. We either had to take him everywhere with us or have one of us stay behind. It became a huge burden, and we found ourselves scheduling our entire lives around our dog. We decided to work with Dawit, and little by little, things started to improve. When we got Cooper back from training, he was like a completely different dog. He no longer pulled on the leash, was not reactive when he saw other dogs, his recall was amazing, and many of our typical worries disappeared. However, the separation anxiety still persisted. This is where Dawit truly deserves recognition. He never gave up on us or on Cooper. Our training journey probably lasted longer than most because of how severe Cooper's anxiety was, but Dawit went far beyond the typical follow-ups. Over the course of several months, the training sessions, check-ins, texts/videos, communication, and home visits finally paid off. There were times when I genuinely thought we'd never be able to return to a normal life, but our consistency combined with Dawit's continued support and new techniques made all the difference. Cooper can now stay home alone in his crate without issues. That being said, training only works if you put in the effort. We followed through with everything Dawit recommended, even when it was difficult or when we didn't see immediate results. It's easy to fall back into old habits or give up when progress feels slow, but perseverance truly pays off. Side note: Dawit is just an all-around great person who genuinely cares about what he does. Our dog absolutely adores him. We also love the boarding services he offers -- especially because Cooper comes home exercised and happy. Another huge plus is that Cooper is now off-leash certified, and we fully trust him to make good decisions. Yes, it can be costly, but it's an investment and honestly, I don't know another dog as well‑behaved as ours. I'm incredibly proud of the work it took to get here.

We had tried what felt like everything and his separation anxiety was so bad that it got to the point that my partner and I basically gave up our social lives, had to coordinate with one another one of us would be going to the market or if it would be a trip where we both can go but someone sits in the car with our dog. We met the team at K9 Logic Dog Training and they assessed our dog and determined what kind of training program would be best for him to address his separation anxiety and the other skills we wanted to work on. Within a week we noticed progress. We finally were able to leave the house for an hour and go to the market together. Week by week the time has gradually gotten longer where we have been able to leave him alone for longer periods of time to reclaim our social life back. I was skeptical at first, but after that first week I became a believer. We are so happy with the results that for the purpose of just giving him structure and routine we signed him up for more classes and he LOVES being at school. We've also participated in the weekend group training sessions and they are so helpful to not only give our dog routine, but it's a great way to reinforce structure and keep him sharp with everything he learned at school.

After a consultation at the residence-turned-dog-training-facilty we decided on the 3 week boarding program. We boarded our Maltipoo pup, Remy, during the peak of teething-destory everything era while we were out of town for wedding. The trainers were really great and patient with him. You could have also tell Remy was very comfortable with them. When we picked up Remy he was happy, healthy and very excited to see us. He also exhibited more attention and checked in with us more. Pulling on the leash became non-existent and his new default is now to sit in a heel position. The only improvement I'd suggest is that I wish I received more updates regarding Remy while he was boarded. We received a photo and say a couple of videos on Instagram, but more would have been welcomed. Regardless, we're happy with the training and the additional homework/tips to practice while at home. Remy continues to be a regular at the group trainings and other outings hosted by K9 Logic. I feel comfortable with my pup socializing with different dogs in the presence of the K9 Logic team.

    We absolutely LOVE Whittier Dog Club and cannot say enough amazing things about their trainers,…read morestaff, and the care they have given our Dottie! We enrolled Dottie in their 20-day training package and have also continued with their daycare programs, and the experience has been incredible. One of the biggest improvements we have seen is with Dottie's walking. Being a puppy, she had a lot to learn, and the trainers have put so much time, patience, and consistency into working with her. The difference from when she started to now is amazing. What I especially appreciate about their training program is that there is an actual goal and plan for your dog. From the initial evaluation, they explain what they will be working on, what your dog needs, and how they plan to get there. By the end of the program, you can truly SEE the progress and all of the work that has been put into your dog. We have taken Dottie to other daycares, and Whittier Dog Club is completely different. It isn't just 40 dogs put together in one room running around all day. Everything is structured and intentional. The dogs have a routine, and the staff continues to reinforce that structure throughout the entire day. This has been especially important to us while Dottie is going through her puppy stages because she isn't just getting exercise and socialization -- she is continuing to learn appropriate behaviors, boundaries, and routines while she is there. The staff is always so welcoming, and you can genuinely tell how much they care about each and every dog in their care. They take the time to know the dogs individually, and I 100% feel confident dropping Dottie off knowing she is in the best hands. That peace of mind means so much to us. Another thing that makes Whittier Dog Club so special is the community they have created outside of training and daycare. We LOVE being able to take Dottie to community events with the Dog Club and joining the pack walks. Getting to meet and spend time with other pet parents who are part of the club makes the experience even better. It truly feels like being part of a family rather than simply taking your dog somewhere for training or daycare. Whittier Dog Club has become such an important part of Dottie's development, and we are so grateful for the time, effort, patience, and love their team has put into her. Watching her grow and seeing the progress she has made has been so rewarding. If you are looking for a place that combines quality training, structured daycare, socialization, and people who genuinely care about your dog, I cannot recommend Whittier Dog Club enough. We are so happy we found them!

What we loved the most about him is that he is a very straightforward owner and doesn't try to push anything on you. We went to many consults and felt like often times the owners worked more as salesman than actual dog trainers who cared about the dogs. We elected for a 4-week board and train and they kept us updated throughout the entering process and even sent us weekly video updates. The results were night and day. Not only did they help train our dog but what was most important is they took the time and effort to train US (arguably the more important training) on how to continue training at home. We are unequivocally Whittier Dog Club fans and will mentioned them to anyone looking for the right training facility for their dogs.
