A 3 yr. old toy Fox Terrier I'd adopted from our local Palmdale shelter sorely needed basic obedience and leash training. Searching online, I was fortunate to find Smart Dog Training School in Palmdale and discovered that Gonzalo was part of an excellent team that ran a training program I'd used many years earlier in the San Fernando Valley. Boy oh boy, did I luck out!! I visited my furry new friend nearly every week while she was being trained, and it was quite obvious she was progressing very well, AND she was so very comfortable and happy with her temporary boarding home as well as her trainers. Little Gypsy is now back home with us and fully trained. Gonzalo and his team are top notch -- well beyond a five-star rating!!!

Please don't take your dog here. We left our Dog here over the weekend and Gonzalo had our dog in…read morethe Hot heat grooming him and our dog DIED in his care. We now have NO dog. our dog suffered from dehydration and a Heat Stroke. This man was very hard to understand Communicating when he explained what happened to our dog, for him being a Trainer he should've known better than to let a Dog get so hot and overworked and STOP trying to groom him. he was rude and said if him refunding our money makes us happy because our dog DIED then "ok". He overworked our dog and he said he walked away ans came back and he was "dead". Basically let our Dog die Outside in the heat. Didn't try to water him down or help him. Our dog was only 2 and a half years old. We are going to MAKE SURE everyone and the police knows about this and we plan to figure out how exactly he died at the veterinarian. ZERO STARS our dog is Gone forever

I will NEVER bring my dog here again…read more Scheduled for a 9:30AM grooming appointment and told it would be a 3-4 hour wait. I have a chunky longhaired chihuahua, asked for a trim and paid for extras like nail grind, tooth brush, etc. Waited until the 4.5 hour mark to call and check up on her, was told it would be another thirty to forty five minutes and they would ring me when she was ready. Okay, fine. I waited another hour and a half without getting a call, and decided that was enough. Get to the store (she's been here 6 hours at this point) and the groomer is just BARELY starting on her haircut. So wtf have you been doing with my dog this entire time? The groomer tells me 20 more minutes, she'd just gotten off her lunch break. I wait another hour in store before they're finished, and I am infuriated. No apologies, just excuse after excuse. "Oh the groomer is new, oh we're busy today, oh your dog needed extra attention for some matting she had". Bull. They charge me $86 and by the time I get home, I realize that she still has matting in her coat, her nails have not been trimmed, and her teeth have not been brushed. So what the actual f did I pay for and wait 7.5 hours for? Not to mention, the dogs are stuck in cages the entire time they're back there and have no choice but to urinate and defecate in these cages since they're not being taken out. God awful experience. Don't use Kara, don't use this location period. I'll be finding my dog a new groomer that's actually capable of doing their work in a timely manner.

She is my life! My very heart. I live alone and she means so much to me. I lost my job three weeks ago and have just a few temp days of work to fill in the gaps. So I bought just two cans. At the checkout, the very kind cashier who had helped me locate the specific brand I was searching for offered me two more cans that were samples left by the rep who is there not long before. Since she searched for some little tubes of specialty pate and gave 4 of those to me also for free. At that point, I started to lose it. My eyes filled with tears and my throat choked up. I was about to unravel. I couldn't even speak because I knew I'd start bawling. I could only whisper. The poor gal thought I was angry because my face was all red and tense. No. I was trying so hard not to cry. All I could do is whisper "Thank you. Thank you so much." She has no idea how deeply that little bit of kindness touched my heart. I've spent hours and hours looking for work and sending out resumes only to hear nothing. I don't want to lose my cat at this time, too. She's my girl...my only company at night and has the best, sweetest disposition. Thank you for your kindness.
