I first took my dog to Gina about 7 years ago for behavior modification when he was about a year…read moreold. Gina graciously helped us through my dog's reactive behaviors and taught me how to better understand him. My dog had Parvo as a puppy and unfortunately became very reactive towards people and other dogs afterwards. Gina is extremely knowledgeable and she was very kind and patient with me and my pup. She truly has a way with dogs and can tell you everything just from their body language. I have recommended her to friends and family, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality trainer in the area. I recently went out of town for 4 days and was so thankful to board my dog with Gina because I was confident he would be well taken care of which allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Gina is the only person I trust with my dog and we are so grateful to be working with PacwestK9!

He is a great dog however did need work on reactivity to people and pets. He was labeled as aggressive by vet because he is over protective of me. He was limited on the places I could take him because he did not like men outside my husband. Her comes Gina communication with her staff and her was excellent. They really listened to our needs and our concerns. We wanted to be able to take our dog everywhere. That's exactly what we can do now. He is phenomenal in every way. Yes you are required to follow through with training. Her training has brought me to tears we can't believe the full life our boy gets to live. She absolutely puts everything into ensuring your dog succeeds.

They helped me probably more than the pup....meaning really the work is for us as the owner to do. So you will need to do the work and do the practicing at home. All the time and effort was so worth it. We have an amazing dog and she and I are both super calm. I can take her anywhere with me and she does amazing out in public. With my 5 yr old daughter she does awesome as well. We just got kittens and she is best friends with the kitties now also. Thank you Garrett and David...we definitely appreciate you so much! i would give you 10 stars if that were an option.

Garrett Stevens is truly one-of-a-kind when it comes to dog training. His unorthodox style may not…read morebe what you'd expect, but that's exactly what makes him so effective. Our Great Pyrenees was stubborn, independent, and we honestly weren't sure if we'd ever get through to him. Garrett changed everything. Instead of relying on cookie-cutter methods, Garrett took the time to really understand our dog's personality and gave us tools that actually worked. His approach is calm, intuitive, and based on building trust and respect--not just obedience. The difference has been night and day. Because of Garrett, our Pyr is finally on the right path to success. Walks are no longer a battle, our home is more peaceful, and most importantly, our dog is happier and more confident. If you're looking for a trainer who gets results, thinks outside the box, and truly cares about both the dog and the owner, Garrett Stevens at Alpha and Omega Dog Training is the best there is.

I recommend him highly.

I genuinely try to give people the benefit of the doubt and assume everyone is doing their best. Unfortunately, after today's experience, I feel like I need to say something. This is not our first visit. Our dog Goose has been here several times, and today was our puppy Maple's first visit. When I walked in this morning, there was no warm greeting or even a simple hello. The first things said to me by the groomers were, "Do you not get our texts?" and "We need you to be on time. We run a tight schedule." I walked in at 11:05. We are coming from Port Orchard, and when I received the text asking me to bring the dogs in earlier at 10:20, I was already on the road heading there. I understand that being on time is important, but the attitude I was met with immediately was completely unnecessary and set the tone for the entire visit. During the consultation, I explained what I wanted for both dogs. Because I was apparently considered late, I told Danielle that if she didn't have time to give Goose a full haircut, I at least wanted his face, eyes, and chin trimmed and for her to do whatever she could with the time available. Maple's groomer (will call her the lady with purple hair) asked if this was her first visit and I explained that it was and that she is about 6-7 months old. She then told me that I should have gotten her in much sooner for haircuts and to get her used to grooming. I explained that we had actually been cancelled on multiple times by them and that I booked her as soon as she had all of her vaccinations. I wasn't going to argue with her, but I found the comment unnecessary and condescending. I completely understand that a puppy's first grooming experience may need to be shorter depending on how they handle it. What I don't understand is the attitude surrounding it. Our puppy desperately needed a haircut, and I was never upset about them taking things slowly with her. I was upset by the way the entire situation was communicated. When I came back to pick them up, the attitude from both groomers continued. I was told the dogs were "a handful" and reminded again that I needed to be on time. What makes this even more frustrating is that I dropped them off around 11:00 and both dogs were ready to be picked up around 11:45. I was expecting full haircuts and baths, yet neither dog had much of a haircut at all. I'm not upset about Maple not receiving a full haircut because I understand she is a puppy and it was her first visit. However, Goose has been here multiple times, and he didn't even have the areas trimmed that I specifically asked for, including underneath his chin and around his eyes and head. I was also basically told by Danielle that Goose had "one last chance." Maple's groomer also spoke to me as though I didn't know my own dog, telling me that Maple has dew claws and that I need to play with her face and paws more. We do this regularly at home, so again, the way the information was communicated felt unnecessary and condescending. Then there were the charges. PART 2 & 3 in attached photos.

My neighborhood dog group decided to throw a little Saint Patrick's Day party here for us, family…read moreand friends. I was told she was offered a great deal for the rental and some homemade dog treats. Parking was a bit confusing as the parking nearby the business was full and there was a spot that we think was free to use but not sure. As we entered, we were greeted by a staff member who let us in and the space is huge! There were plenty of toys, a dog pool, and little obstacles for dogs to enjoy to their hearts' content! They even have a hose to fill up the pool or just have your dogs chase around. There were little cubbies and lots of areas to hang leashes, coats, and other stuff on. They had Youtube videos playing too. The dog treats were so creative. They had cannoli, biscuits, and much more. All of our dogs seemed to have enjoy the treats greatly, no treats were left behind. All of the dogs seemed to be enjoying themselves as they just had so much to do or other dogs to play with. Definitely look forward to coming back here to throw future dog parties as our group loves to do little events for our fur babies.

This place is super cute decor with friendly and kind staff, but what makes me nervous is how tiny…read moreit is with how many dogs they allow. It made me wonder about the ratio balance between humans vs dogs. I had dropped my dog off for a behavioral assessment, as we have trips coming up and I'm looking for boarding care. This is not where I'm personally comfortable leaving my pup, as the ratio seemed to be 1 human to 15 or 20 dogs in an indoor-only, less than 1500sq foot space. The good news is they are so kind and nice humans, if I was rating them they'd earn 5+++ stars as I'd leave my dog in their care anytime! The problem I had was the physical space (super tiny!) and the ratio of dogs, as they allowed 3 or 4 pups to greet my dog while 15 or so were in a hallway-type space patiently waiting and sooooo well-behaved, to greet and play. The space for playing is very limited, about 1/2 the size of a classroom, and while it's clean and the staff are super lovely, it's probably not the best fit for our pup who loves to play fetch and run. Parking is also super tricky in this neighborhood, as there isn't a parking lot or spaces reserved for the business.
