    Why this den??
    Maya N.

    I've been coming here for several years now, mostly just dropping by after the gym. I like to check up on the birds and monitor their health because it's clear staff doesn't care to look after them beyond switching their litter and refilling their food and water -- which to their credit they do pretty well as the enclosures are always sufficiently clean. I understand policies are corporate decisions, but the neglect at this particular location has gotten out of hand... I wanted to write this review today to bring attention to the female cockatiel that has been here since late March/early April. I've watched her grow increasingly aggressive, no doubt a hormonal issue, now further exacerbated by a new fluffy hanging den they put in. The soft enclosure will encourage her to nest and become more territorial. Who will purchase her when even approaching the glass is enough for her to launch herself at you trying to bite your face off? The conures are a tragedy too. Their price has gone up so much, now $750 plus tax, that they are rarely sold. For reference, a responsibly bred GCC with health clearances is like $200, although you can rescue for much less. I knew a conure who was there for over 6 months. They are housed separately because Petsmart will not DNA test for sex, so after a month or two they're covered in pin feathers they can't reach. One appeared to be having a medical issue with bald spots around his head, and the salesperson laughed and told me he was just born like that, which was strange and not very believable?? They aren't aggressive but they are definitely undersocialized and desperate for attention. Their flight feathers are clipped so short that the majority I've seen struggle to move around their enclosures and cannot confidently get down from their perches even if they want to. They preferentially hang upside down from the wire grate on the top, which has paint chipping off of it. I doubt the white paint is bird-safe, but they bite at it all the time. I don't know why they're clipped because unlike a few other much better locations the staff doesn't remove them from their cages, like for example, after hours to be able to socialize and be handled. The manager did tell me that the birds are NEVER handled no matter the length of time they're there, which of course only makes an already challenging companion animal a thousand times harder to live with... Parrots are sociable and extremely intelligent animals. I understand Petsmart will continue to sell them, but I believe more of an effort can be made by employees to ensure that they are at least kept in good health and minimally socialized.

    My visit to PetSmart is always Amazing their customer service ,rite u go in the store everyone greets u with ur pet . But I want to thank the grooming Department their Excellence on taking care of our loving pets ,and having the patients to care & groom our pet just rite . I want to thank Mr James for always doing a great job on my one year old pug "COCO" Is a inpatient puppy and don't like the sound of a nail trimmer , But thanks to James he's the reason I will always go to PetSmart. Staff like James have that patient and care, and that special bond to make u feel that their safe in their hands thank u James n the whole staff.

    I can never just get in and out. The line is always so long. Don't they have other checkers?

    It is a shame that I am leaving a one star review. I would leave 0 but the system doesn't allow that. Seems their policies doesn't care for all. I brought in my cat for grooming. But her medical cards could not be approved. I explained my cat now cannot use the restroom because her fur is overgrown. This happened because of all previous groomers cancelling on me last minute. Money is not an issue for me. I just thought people would help animals in their time of need.

    Excellent business. Any store that welcomes pets is tops on my list. And they even bring out an extra cashier when the line gets too long.

    Don was very friendly and he covered everything from beginning to end. And he made sure we…read moreunderstood everything and asked to make sure we did. He could tell I had so much tension I been stressing out about my dog and he made sure to check in with my concerns. We recently moved and our Bichon Frise did not take the move well. He has since become very aggressive and attacks the other family dog viscously. This was not like him at all. We never trained him so he was a free spirit dog you could say but his behavior just got worst in the last month. Don taught us techniques to get him to listen. I was shocked. I've never seen him listen. Also even after he left my dog was more calm and would listen. We are going to make sure to follow all his steps and tools he gave us to succeed. At the end of the day we trained us too lol I recommend him 100 percent. I called him yesterday and thankfully he had a cancellation and pray and I snatched that appointment fast.

    Don is awesome. My dog did a 180° since meeting him. He literally came to our home yesterday…read moremorning and my husband and I are still marveling at how great/easy his training session was. He could try and squeeze out whatever money he can by promising the same outcome in a span of 4-5 weeks but he is honest and cuts the B.S right from the start. My dog would jump on us all the time, try and eat our food, run out the gate and it's insane to say, Don helped us correct it all in a few hours. Obviously you have to practice practice practice until it becomes a habit for the dog so in the end, it comes down to you. Are you willing to put in the work and have a great relationship with your dog. If you are, save yourself hundreds of dollars and visits, and call Don.

    Bryan was referred to us by a co worker that also had great results with their dog…read more Our dog was 1.5 years old, so still had some puppy in him, but he has anxiety that causes his mindset to be very difficult to train, so we called Bryan. We had an introductory meeting and felt very comfortable. He walked through his 3 week and 5 week board and train options and what to expect with each. We chose the 5 week program which trains him to basic commands on AND off leash. It was super difficult to hand over our dog for 5 weeks, but as difficult as it was, I can honestly say it was worth it. Simply put, it was life changing for us. Bryan provided weekly updates and videos so we could see how our dog was doing and help us get over missing him. Our dog still has his silly personality, but is now controllable on and off leash. Bryan was able to improve his mindset so not only does he obey commands, but has learned to relax. I cannot recommend Bryan more highly.

    My family and I decided to have a pup in our life. We found our perfect pet at Priceless Pets and…read moreadopted him. Love at first site. He is a Chocolate Lab As a puppy he was great. As the year went on, it was increasingly difficult to train him and he was just overpowering the kids. He didn't realize his own size and just wanted to play so much, but in playing, he would knock over the kids and it lead to most of his day needing to be spent in his crate. He had so much energy after getting out that he would pull constantly and just be his own dog. My spouse and I decided to look for help. We looked everywhere and vetted big business to small business. This was a very long process and somehow stumbled upon this page. I was very intrigued by a lot of the previous reviews. Almost too good to be true reviews. Eventually Contacted the owner (Bryan) and we had a good conversation. Started with questions about the dogs personality, what the goal and objective was, and how to get there. I don't want to go into too much detail because that conversation was so refreshing. I knew from that convo that Bryan was a true dog lover and trainer. Not someone just trying get the $$$$ After the conversation, we had a meet and greet and that went even better than the phone conversation. Bryan went into great detail the steps in what the board and train entails. My spouse and I were immediately invested. Both for the family and the happiness of our dog. We wanted happiness for everyone. We scheduled the time for the board and train (Took the 4 week option). We felt this was the best option for our family and our dog. It was an investment in our family and I wanted the best So now it's time to drop off Rufus. It was weird not having him in our home but knew it was for the best. Bryan again gave great detail into all the steps and what would happen during the 4 weeks. Each Friday for the 4 weeks we would get a private YouTube link on everything Rufus learned and his progress. Within the first week, he was a completely different dog. I've never seen him listen so much on the video. Those videos are all self explanatory so I wont get into those details either. Just know that they are very well detailed videos and you wont help but smile on your dogs progress Each week was upped to the next level of the defined training and it was a joy watching all the changes that have been made. As the weeks crept up to us getting Rufus back, we were excited with anticipation. On the day of pickup, we went through our own owner training with Bryan. Got very detailed with what we needed to do and how to continue the training for the rest of his life. It ended up being really fun. Rufus has now been home for a week and he his fully integrated to the home. He has a special place in our living room. The kids are happy they can play with him and pet him. Rufus is all smiles, droll and tail wags. This was indeed life changing for our family. Also Side note, Bryan made himself available for Boarding as well. We have been using the boarding services before and after the board and train. Experience was way better than any dog hotel I've used in the past for extended family trips. Bryan was the most genuine when it came to his business. You can tell he loves what he does. That's how I knew this was the place to go. I highly recommend. Also, even though board and train has been completed, he still checks on us after. He will be available for the life of the dog. Def cant go wrong with that
