    This is the asshole he needs to get fired he's racist and extremely disrespectful!!!!!

    Hector is horrible I don't know who hired this asshole . Today I came in to get spray for fleas for my dog I sprayed a little in my hand to make sure my dog wasn't allergic he came up to me and to stop spraying in the store which I wasn't then he proceeded to harass me and follow me around the store and every isle and standing and staring at me when I wasn't spraying just continuing to shop for my dog when I was walking. I noticed my dog had some dirt on his fur, so I was rubbing him to get it off of him. He hector came up to me and said that I was taking out fleas and spreading them around his throat, which is very much hurtful and incorrect, then proceeded to kick me out of the store very rudely when all I wanted to do was pay for my items when he kicked me out of the store I put my items on the aisle and he laughed in my face and said I knew you weren't gonna pay for it that made me feel like he was very racist because I don't understand why he thinks that I wouldn't pay for it. He was screaming at me in front of all the customers making me look crazy just because I asked to buy my stuff. He told me that he'll check me out. I told him I don't feel comfortable because of how disrespectful he's being to me for him to check me out I want somebody else too. He stood there and started screaming my face to get out of the store and I left. Do not shop here. It's awful in their racist.

    They just cut too much

    We have been bringing our pups to this place for nail trims. Strangely enough, whenever we arrive for drop in service the groomer goes on break. ? We can't make an appointment for a nail trim, but they can't accomodate us. They only have one groomer working at a time. If they ever get staffed again, maybe we'll come back.

    The bottom is all dead fish
    Marisol G.

    My little one volunteered to bring little fish to her class for the fish tank. We went to PetSmart and unfortunately there were two fish tank completely neglected. When I asked the workers what was going on? They said they put a work order two weeks ago and PetSmart said they'd have to buy a replacement for the filtration . I'm sorry but WHAT?? You guys literally sell those parts at the store just swamp it out so the fish don't just die. Against my better judgement I bought the damn fish and some died as soon as they were being brought out of the tanks, others died on the way home... There is also a parrot desperate to go home . I honestly wish I could've bought them all

    I took my French bulldog Cash in for a luxury package with everything included on 12/9/2023 and was greeted by the whole team. They were very nice and explained all the details since my frenchie has very sensitive skin. I chose the hypoallergenic shampoo and conditioner. Donald bathed my frenchie trimmed his nails cleaned his ears and he did an amazing job I'm very happy with the grooming and will be back again thank you so much!

    Dead fish.

    Dead fish. I told an associate and she just KEEPS saying she'll call someone and it's been 10 minutes no one has came. The other fish are trying to eat him. This is not okay

    Santiago and Javier and The crew went above and beyond today for both the animal rescue I volunteer for and my school I teach at. I usually but my dogs food and kittens things at PS and it is always clean and helpful. . Today they picked an amazing rescue give tons things to. And they filled up six bags of donated stuffed animals and sent with the rescue. The rescue gave to my school and over 200 of our 600 kids got stuffed animals today. These are kids with very little so this means so much. I appreciate the kindness of this store and all they did for my biggest 2 passions today.

    I found this in clearance section for $3 ! LOVE
    A C.

    They're really nice and someone ALWAYS asks me if I need help! I guess I look lost all the time haha . Even though it's a small location they have more stuff than you expect. They have a lot of harnesses and leashes ( better than Target) and lots of dry foods options for dogs and I was told if my girl doesn't like the food I can bring the open bag back with a receipt which is good to know .

    Do not bring your dog here for grooming.  Groomer Cassie , who showed up late and Meely, the salon manager with attitude.

    Do not take your pet to the location on Van Nuys blvd. Please, if you love your pet. I dropped my dog off and pick him up and he has an open cut on his face. It wasnt there when I dropped him off and they said nothing when I picked him up. When I dropped of at 930 am the first person I came in contact with Meely, I think she is the salon manager . Unprofessional and rude. These people ate not vets, so dont diagnose my dog . Wash and cut. I come back to show pictures of the dog and get a refund and Javier the floor manager gives me a message from the store manager who is not working, that he suggest I not bring my dogs back. Two yorkies. I would never bring my dogs to this location again and suggest anyone with a dog not bring them here. Meely salon manager said this was there. Um why did you allow service , why lie and or not tell me at pick up.

    Tired from his last day

    When I get lucky...I get LUCKY! I found this amazing group…read moreof people off of Yelp, and the 5 Star rating is 100% deserved. I have two pups: Archie and Charlie. I want the best for my puppies, so I asked so many different people where and how they trained their dogs. I received a few suggestions, but decided to do my own search...and I'm glad I did. Leo (Owner) and his amazing team of trainers TRULY care about the pups they train. Leo came to my home and wanted to meet me and my pups before I had to decide on making any decisions. After sitting down with him for about half an hour, I knew I found what I was looking for: Someone who wants me to have healthy and happy dogs. I signed up for the in-home training at first which is Leo coming to the house and training me on how to train my puppies (Archie and Charlie just turned 6 months and started with Leo and his team when they were 4.5). Very quickly, I realized I could not handle training both these puppies the way they needed to be trained. I discussed with Leo and decided to do a Board & Train. I like the schedule because I get to take the puppies on the weekends to spend time with me. Don't get me wrong, you NEED to train your pups on the weekends, but it's worth it and FUN. Archie has become the Puppy King (no offense to other puppies or their owners )). Charlie has a lot more energy, but has improved immensely! Leo's trainers are so caring. I feel my dogs get love with their training when they're not with me, and I couldn't ask for more. I see their excitement whenever I visit about improvements and milestones that Archie and Charlie achieved. They gleam with as much pride as I do. I honestly don't know where my pups OR I would be without the help of this AMAZING Team! If I could give 10 stars out of 5 stars, I would!

    A week after we brought our adopted pitbull puppy home, we felt completely helpless when she…read morestarted peeing in the house, biting everything, crying in the crate nonstop, etc. We reached out to a few dog trainers on Yelp and Kelev K9 replied right away. A few minutes later Leo called us and asked questions about the situation. Some basic tips he gave us over the phone saved our sanity until he came to our house a few days later for a free consultation. The consultation made it clear how experienced and passionate Leo is about dog training, so we decided to sign with him that same day. After one session we felt much more confident in training our dog and saw the "light at the end of the tunnel". Over the past 5 months and four training sessions, we have seen day and night improvement in her behavior. If you feel lost and out of control with how to train your dog or want to continue their training, Kelev K9 should be your first call. Leo is always ready to help out with any questions or concerns we have by text or phone call. Pricing is also extremely fair and was a worthwhile investment for us because we have our sanity back and have bonded so deeply with our dog through training. Thank you so much Leo, Breanna, and the whole team at Kelev K-9!

In just our first session--which lasted a generous 3 hours--Stephanie guided me with so much patience and knowledge on how to be the best puppy mom I can be. She's already helped us make huge progress with potty training, and Casper has started to improve with his barking and biting thanks to her techniques. Stephanie's approach is calm, supportive, and incredibly effective. I really appreciated how she focused not only on training Casper, but also on teaching me how to reinforce good behavior and build a positive relationship with him. Her schedule has also been extremely accommodating, which has made this whole process so much less stressful. I'm truly looking forward to our upcoming sessions and feel very lucky to have found her! Highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a compassionate, skilled, and professional dog trainer.

    Brett is fantastic. We have worked with many different trainers to help with our rescue pup Teddy…read more(3.5, labradoodle) with little to no lasting success and we were starting to worry. Teddy a sweet pup but struggled with anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding and was VERY sensitive to being touched and would often lash out or try to bite. We were really worried about how to help him and how to curb some of these bad habits we'd no doubt reinforced with our own behavior. When I called Brett for the initial consult, he was patient, understanding but also honest and direct about the time and effort it would take and the changes we would have to make to have a real impact. We were open to the feedback and committed to making a change in and out of our home. WOW. We've been working with Brett consistently for 3 months and Teddy is like a new dog. He is calmer, happier, more obedient, and much more confident and tolerate of being touched (especially on sensitive areas like his paws!). Our friends and family have all been shocked at the noticeable difference in Teddy's overall demeanor (happier and calmer!) and behavior. Our groomer asked us what had changed as he was so much calmer and happier to deal with. I want to be clear this is no "magic pill" we put in the work but with Brett's guidance and structure, we cannot believe the results. Teddy is of course still a work in progress and we have more work to do, but seeing the progress he's made in such a short amount of time with Brett's thoughtful approach has been so exciting. Brett truly understands dogs and their psychology and this makes him a true expert. Just know that part of the training process is training your pup but also training yourself to adjust your own behaviors to create a positive outcome long term for everyone. We cannot recommend Brett enough!!!

    Top-Tier Master Trainer! Brett transforms crazy dogs by training the owners.My German Shepherd,…read moreLucy, was in a shelter for over four months before I got her at around eight months old, so you can imagine how completely chaotic, spastic, and misbehaved she was. I was entirely overwhelmed and at my wit's end trying to manage her behaviors. When I hired Brett, I'll admit I fought him along the way on some of the training protocols--but in the end, he was correct about EVERYTHING. The most vital thing for difficult or frustrated dog owners to understand is that Brett's training isn't just about fixing the dog; it is primarily about training YOU, the owner. He provides an exceptional structure and leadership framework, but it only works if you are willing to check your own habits, get on board, and consistently follow through as a pack leader. His methods are incredibly kind, humane, and highly effective at correcting severe behavioral issues. Today, I am so incredibly happy with how my once-crazy dog has turned out. Thanks to Brett, Lucy is a wonderful companion who listens perfectly, handles major environment changes like moving to Downtown LA beautifully, and doesn't react to other people or animals anymore. Having her in my life has truly become the amazing journey I always hoped it would be. If you are willing to put in the work on your end, Brett is absolutely the best master trainer you can find!
