We have a nearly one year old golden retriever, who we adopted only 3 months ago. With three young children, we wanted to have the tools to stop our dog from pulling on walks and jumping on people when excited. We wanted him to be comfortable in the crate and calm on command. Emily and Chloe gave us all the tools and training to do just that and more. His training journey continues as we seek to sharpen and refine his skills. We are confident we have the tools needed to succeed!

So I been coming to this location since I got my dog at 7 weeks old, then started an aquarium…read more This is my favorite location customer service wise. Last week I was in the store twice for fish and Leah was so knowledgeable and professional with the fish and able to answer all my questions as I'm still a relatively new fish owner! Their cashiers, I think it's the manager? A gentleman who I've seen walk a few times and always tells me hello, but u recommend this location, I've purchased two dog crates as he outgrew the XL one quick, multiple fish and multiple toys, balls, and bones! Also if you need a string dog collar, the 2 inch Kong is amazing! My dog has had one almost a year now with no issues and seems to be comfortable as when I take it off he won't leave it alone lol

Took my dog to the grooming salon to get his nails clipped. The groomers/bathers were not welcoming…read moreat all. No "hi" or "welcome". Everyone looked pretty miserable. When I was thinking of turning his nail trim into a full bath and brush service the employee had to go in the back and get the groomer who then came out and gave me attitude "oh ok so not just a nail trim. A full service" They didn't go over everything it included. I had to ask questions to make sure. What really set me off was as I was walking away she goes "oh he looks so skinny" and said it in such a concerned and weird tone. Excuse me? He's a 5 month old puppy. If you know anything about dogs, their ribs stick out a little when they're puppies. I feed my dog very healthy and expensive dog food and he doesn't go hungry. I thought that was weird. When I picked him up, he was clean and nails were cut good. She said "he is so terrified" ... He was wagging his little tail happy to see me. He wasn't "terrified". It was his first time having a spa day and maybe this groomer just had too much on her plate to give him slow and loving care. The customer service in this grooming salon sucks. Not coming back

From the very first session, Manny knew exactly how to meet her where she was. Over the course of her training, we watched Frankie gain confidence, learn structure, and completely transform her behavior. She's now calmer, more obedient, and carries herself with a level of assurance we never thought we'd see this early on. Manny didn't just train our dog -- he taught us how to support her long-term, and his approach was patient, thoughtful, and incredibly effective. We couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and cares deeply about their progress, Manny is the one. Highly recommend!

We've been going to that other "smart" store for over five years to have our dog's nails trimmed…read more Ever since, they've told us that we can just walk in and they will do the trim. The most we've ever had to wait is about 15 to 20 minutes. Today, was no different, walked in at 10:15a, let them know that we needed a nail trim, the associate said that the earliest they can get us in was not till 12 PM without an appointment. An appointment? I explained to them that in the five years we've been going to them for nail grinds (which is pretty frequent) we've never had to make an appointment. That's when she said that making appointment has always been in place. So, I walked out, came over to The Good Dog. The General Manager greeted us, even while working with another customer. Listening how he handled the other two customers in front of us (who appeared to be regulars) set the tone that this is a friendly place that we want to be a part of. You know, it's like "Cheers," you wanna go where everyone knows your name! Well, they were able to get us in right away. They advised we typically do not need to make an appointment for nail grind, but to simply call up to make sure they are not busy at the moment, otherwise can get in quickly. I think that's reasonable, fair enough AND smart! "Thanks, Good Dog!"

We have waited wayyyy too long to post this review and I can confidently say even after 6 months…read moretraining has stuck with my pups! Our pug Boba, who is 6 years old, had a huge issue with barking and reactivity. Before training, anytime there was a loud noise, another dog, or even a person just a few feet away from us, he would immediately start barking and getting worked up to the point where he would do that pug scream, and no amount of reassuring would help. Walks were stressful and we constantly felt on edge trying to manage his reactions. Working with Yasin made such a difference. He was incredibly patient and really took the time to explain why Boba was reacting the way he was and what we could do about it. Instead of just trying to stop the barking in the moment, he helped us understand how to work through the behavior step by step. Everything he taught us felt realistic and doable in everyday life, which made it so much easier to actually stick with. One of the biggest moments for us was when we took Boba and his sister with us on a trip to Joshua Tree. Before training, something like that would have been stressful and probably not even enjoyable. But because of everything we learned from Yasin, it ended up being such a pleasant vacation. At one point we even stood and ate at a restaurant for almost two hours with multiple dogs around us, some of them were even reactive, and Boba was such a model citizen the entire time. It honestly felt amazing to see the difference. Because of Yasin's training, we actually feel confident bringing our dogs on vacations now, which is something we never thought we'd be able to do. Boba is a completely different dog in the best way possible, and we also feel so much more confident as owners because we now have the tools to handle situations that used to feel overwhelming. If you have a reactive dog or feel overwhelmed with training, we definitely recommend working with Yasin. He really cares about the dogs and the owners, and it shows.

Blue was three years old when I adopted him from the shelter and had been there for two years, essentially his entire life. He had no formal training and several behavioral issues, and he was extremely reactive to other dogs. Yasin has been helpful and patient throughout the entire process. He has a positive attitude and genuinely cares about his clients and their dogs. I truly wish I had found him sooner. I will continue working with Yasin and Empire K9 Dog Training to help Blue for as long as needed.
