Very disappointed with my grooming appointment today. My dog was nicked and the groomer, Amanda, failed to report that to me. Once I called them back to ask what happened, she claimed that it was a pimple and said with a laugh that she forgot to mention this to the gentleman who picked my dog up. For all the money that I paid, plus the tip, it's not worth my dog getting an infection. My dog is 4 and before this salon, I haven't encountered any issues, this level of unprofessionalism and poorly trained staff. This is your "experienced groomer." Won't be returning.

I come to this PetSmart all the time! It's not the biggest, nor the bestest but gosh darnit it's close to my work and an easy lunch hour stop. They usually have what I need, offer decent prices, have some good coupons (though they don't always honor their own store coupons) and generally friendly employees. I honestly only ever come here when I have coupons because though their prices are decent, they aren't amazing. I always get sad coming here though because I can't handle all the animals for sale. Sigh. I stand there watching them feeling sad they are crowded, especially when it comes to the fish. And then the poor kitties in cages all day! Wahhhhh.

Thanks to Keith and Allen superstar Managers who gave 5 Service helping me get food for My 2 Senior Dogs. Keith at Schaumburg and Allen at Randhurst Pets Mart These 2 Store Managers need to be recognized by Pets Mart for their dedication to Customer Service!! Thank You Keith + Allen You made my Day!

Amanda in the grooming salon is the best ! She always works miracles with my Charlie. She goes above and beyond and I am always happy with the results. Even when Charlie had to get shaved because of how matted he was (it was bad) she did her best to keep some length and still have him look like Charlie. I had a bad experience at the vet clinic inside PetSmart, but I will keep going back there for grooming as long as Amanda is there.

It's petsmart, not much to say really. I buy my pet foods here and some other pet items from time to time. There are usually staff members around if any help is needed. Their live pets for sale have looked in good condition and care on my visits. There is also a Banfield pet hospital and a grooming center in the back. Oh, they offer pet training classes too. I've never used any of those services. 4 stars for this PetSmart.

I don't care how small or little the collar is I will not allow a stranger to be in control of pinching my dog. Not to mention this can create worse behaviors down the road on top of being shelter dog no way! I asked for the board and train and basically was denied every option for that and he told me I could only do drop off and could only do a two week option for drop off appointments only. He wouldn't even consider doing the third option for off leash training like wth? Why? Makes zero sense to me. He made it seem like my Dog was not capable of it when I know he is capable of mastering any type of training given to him. And his going to because I would not take my dog here not for the basic training leash skills or whatever. Energy was way off when I walked in there. I asked to see the property and to show me your and he didn't he just opened one door to huge gun looking area. I want to know where the kennel my dog will be sitting in I. Between sessions and so forth. Using a pinch collar on a tiny dog. No wonder you have all the dogs sitting down all together not making a move is prob bc you yanked the prongs back into their neck! I believe in positive training and nothing positive came out of this! Very discouraging and needless to say I will take my $8000 else where to be spent properly and with care. I have had two other meetings with trainers and they have no problem taking dog into board and train and for 8 weeks to correct behavior problems. IF YOU HAVE A DOG WITH BEHAVIOR ISSUES DO NOT TAKE HERE! Basic ass place man

The story Violet and Sit Means Sit:…read more Most people know that Pitbulls are some of the most gentle, loving, fun, and all around biggest babies you could imagine. What people don't know, however, is that there's a little something known among the bully breeds as "The Pittie Screams." For those who have never heard this obnoxious sound (i.e. the majority of the population), it's kind of like a mix between a metalcore vocalist and a toddler throwing a hissy fit. It's loud. It's embarrassing. It makes people on the street cower in terror and hide their children. It makes your neighbors look out of their windows because they think someone is getting murdered. Which brings me to my adorable baby girl, Violet. I rescued her in September of 2017, so I really have no idea what she went through prior to being in the shelter. She's a phenomenal dog that loves literally everyone and is very obedient, but I learned fairly quickly that she is NOT a fan of other dogs (or bunnies). The pulling, lunging, barking, screaming, and other aggressive behaviors she exhibits when we encounter animals, made it so difficult to bring her outside that I had to walk her behind the townhouses we live in (shared backyards without separating fences). Thanks to Tony and Mikey, I'm no longer afraid to take Violet for walks ON THE SIDEWALK, like NORMAL pets get to do! Violet spent 11 days doing a Board and Train with them last fall and has progressed phenomenally. They really have done an amazing job with her! They're responsive to any questions and concerns, and the initial training cost includes individual follow-up and group training sessions for the rest of Violet's life. *That being said, it's super important for people to realize that dog training is just as much about training yourself as it is about training the pet. IT'S NOT MAGIC!!! You don't send your dog to a board and train or puppy class and expect them to come home being perfect, obedient angels. Just like human children, your dog is eventually going to be a brat, and you, as the adult, need to learn to lead them and mold their behaviors in a positive way. Sit means Sit has provided both me and Violet with the tools and support we need to continue to overcome her issues with other animals, and we are SO very thankful! Just last week Violet actually let another dog LICK HER FACE. It was amazing and I couldn't be more proud :) Unfortunately, Violet and I will be moving across the country in a few months, but Mikey and Tony will continue to support us and have even offered to help us ease into another Sit Means Sit location. Seriously worth every penny and I recommend them to everyone!

I've never owned a dog in my life, and somehow I ended up rescuing a cattle dog mix. Needless to…read moresay she is a handful and I was really struggling with finding a balance in life because she thought she ruled the world and wouldn't listen. I had problems with her barking and growling at men, barking at loud noises, pulling on leash - you name it, I had a problem. I was very nervous about investing in training since it's a big investment, and I was worried the training wouldn't transfer to me. Investing in Tony at Sit Means Sit was the best money I have ever spent in my entire life. Not only did my dog come back a completely different dog, but I also have an ongoing support system. It's been a year and a half since I got my first dog back and a few months since I got my youngest dog back and Tony is just as responsive now as he was in the beginning. He isn't just there to help, you can tell he cares about helping. He is so passionate about all these dogs....it's amazing. I don't know what I'd do without Tony. My life is so different now that I have two well-behaved dogs that listen! I have never seen anybody understand dogs the way he does. You will not regret your investment into this team. Trust me.

I really don't even know where to begin with this review but here it goes…read more I rescued two, very fearful, people reactive dogs back in May. It very quickly became clear that they were VERY uncomfortable with anyone coming into our home. At this point I began my search for a dog trainer. I was SO SO SO close to giving my money to one of those "fix it quick" dog training companies. Thanks to some helpful advice I received online, I quickly realized that your every day, run of the mill dog trainer is NOT equipped to handle such cases, and can often make the behavior worse over time. Knowing that I needed someone who actually knows what they are doing, I looked for local trainers on the "Certified Professional Dog Trainers" directory, and found Mary. It was such a joy to work with her. Given that my pups are afraid of strangers, it just so happened to work out perfectly that Mary was, in fact, a stranger. She took me step by step through the process of getting my dogs acclimated to people by having me practice techniques on her, and by the end of our sessions together, my pups were wagging their tails and excited whenever she would arrive. While stranger reactivity doesn't go away overnight, she equipped me with the skills I need to slowly acclimate my dogs to people over the years and years we will inevitably spend together. I could see that she was a little sad on our last session, which is such a testament to how much love and care she brings for her clients and their dogs. To sum it up in one sentence: I couldn't recommend her enough

Tailchasers is great…read more Matt came over to the house to help us decide on chosing him for watching our dogs. That alone is a big decision when you think of your dogs as family. He stayed for about an hour answering all of our questions and going through our routine with us. He and his company are very thorough and good at what they do. I felt I could trust him and his staff to come into our house without us being home. When they are done with the visit you get an email with all of the notes from the visit and sometimes you get pictures as well of the dogs playing. This allowed us to go out late on a weekend night. We plan on using them in the future.

When arrived they wanted to use ropes to lift him with due to so badly soiled. So we supplied our own blanket and carried him to car. He was in obvious pain, soiled, bleeding from mouth. He was immediately taken to animal hospital and advised had to be put down for fractured back and kidney issues. When asked for an explanation Randa immediately sent a refund saying upon my request, which was just for explanation. When followed up was told I can't sue because I signed a waiver, that it was my fault for boarding an older dog and not boarded before. I never made any accusations or asked for anything but an explanation. I'm so devastated I left my pet/family member in their care.

We reached out to Kendra at Canine Peace of Mind after recognizing we had training gaps with our…read moretwo Irish Terriers (1yr & 2yr olds) that we didn't feel we could overcome on our own. We were dealing with food & high value treat /toy aggression, leash & barrier aggressions, and their coming on call (especially when chasing rabbits were more fun situations than coming to mom & dad) was unreliable at best. Enter Kendra at Canine Peace of Mind. Kendra worked with us on the best board & train program for each of them, customizing their 'stay' schedules based on progress and behavioral shifts. We sent both our dogs to CPM from Sept 2018 - Oct 2018. Kendra knows how tough it is to leave your 'kids' for that extended period of time (because she's done it too!) and made sure to send us picture and video updates on how each of them were progressing. Seeing the quick process made the distance so worth it. Fast forward to picking our pups up on handover day and the difference was remarkable. But it was on us to take those skills & discipline home with us. A couple months into having them home (Jan of this year), we recognized we still needed help (user error!) and Kendra did a house call, free of charge, to help us in reigning in & tightening up their training & our/their behaviors. What an immense help as we saw immediate change and are continuing to build that owner/dog trust together. Here's the from / to for our pups and our family: - From never being able to walk in public on a leash for fear of lashing out against another dog (even when across the street) to walking twice a day at heeling position for 2-3 miles a day, despite what we encounter. - From not having reliable recalls in the least, to trusting our dogs (and because we have grown into much more confident dog owners, trusting ourselves) to have them off leash. We love to go get the mail, take out the trash, etc. together with our dogs. - From breakfast & dinner times being HORRIBLE experiences due to fighting, low growling, & crate checking to having peaceful feeding times. - From having no control during high energy times to having a tool & command for them to go to a dedicated 'place' in any room to calm down and give each other (and us) space. I could go on. But what I would say is if you are encountering any of the above issues, please consider Canine Peace of Mind and their board & train programs. As working professionals that knew we didn't have the time or expertise to dedicate in order to get our pups where they needed to be, we are so happy we did. It has transformed the time we get to all spend together from dread to time that we look forward to because it's happy & enjoyable (which is why we all got these guys in the first place, am I right?). They also offer day care & boarding. We have taken them up on boarding a few times as we know that they get a bit more attention than any standard boarding and they are held accountable to their training just as much there as they are at home.

I explained i was there before 11 and she said that she had locked the door exactly at 11. i asked is no one onsite when the store is closed. she said yes. (this has me concerned that no one is with her when the store is closed). at 4, i called multiple times and finally someone answered and informed me that they are currently open. i asked why did no one return my voicemails, she said that she got busy and didn't have a chance.

Our lab had been going since he was a puppy. Doesn't have a mean bone in his body--family, friends, and strangers have commented on his sweet disposition. 7 Paws even told us he plays with dogs others won't play with. Needless to say we were surprised when they twice claimed he was aggressive with another dog. He's never displayed ANY aggression and they couldn't say what happened or why. Besides, many times he came home with scabs and it never was a concern of theirs then. There are also no webcams available to the public. It left us questioning the staff's level of training and the level of supervision overall. After the second "incident", with no previous warning, we got two differing stories from different workers on what to expect for any future visit. I wish I could say this was the first time we received mixed messages. We reached out twice for clarification--no response. I was shocked when I next picked him up and found he was in a room the size of a closet for the whole visit. He was crying, desperate to go outside and do his business, and based on how much water he needed was very dehydrated. If they replied with clear details and he was clearly in the wrong, I'd be calling our trainer to work on the issue. But no communication leaves me wondering if there isn't a good explanation. After that last visit I worry they just don't care. I guess we'll find another place that does.
