Dr. Bart de Gols at Canine Evolutions understands dogs. Seriously. He is the total package and…read moreyou will not be disappointed if you bring your pup to him. Coming from the competitive dog sport world, and holding a degree in Cynology (the study of canines or domestic dogs), it seems Bart has been a passionate and lifelong student of the dog. Just google and see for yourself. Rather than "quick fixes", he dives deep to understand first and foremost, your dog. For example, understanding HOW your dog operates is fundamental to building a healthy relationship to him/her so that your dog does things WITH you (and not FOR you). This is the critical foundation which Bart builds upon in shaping the behavior of all the dogs he works with. It just makes sense. Since we brought our German Shepherd pup to him last year, we have watched his remarkable transformation around obedience to now protection work. And it hasn't just been him! I have learned so much through Bart's online resources, lectures, and important discussions. This has been so much fun. In summary, we have discovered in Bart, a rare combination of practical expertise, scientific understanding, and authentic compassion and advocacy for dogs. We cannot recommend him more!

Cannot rate this guy. For weeks has been promise of return call w info & price via email & phone…read more Sounded like a good fit initial call back but has not delivered on any other communication. Once a week got him on phone & told he would email or call...none of either. Phone won't accept voicemail, no response to text. There are 4 of us who compete in events listed on his website with two of us who have tried to nail him down for training, with being left feeling he has no interest. One has been trying for months. Having to go with somebody else to train with after well over reasonable amount of waiting with no attempt from Bart to return contact. Blows my mind how a trainer can just ignore multiple long term clients who are looking for somebody to train with closer to home. Will look at him again if he surfaces. But we have dogs in need and competitions upcoming and can"r afford to sit and wait to see if he surfaces. One of the group has already been with Scott Haywood w Centrailia Pet Resort, I'm going to sign up tomorrow as he has followed through with getting back, setting prices, and setting concrete schedules.

I want to start by saying that I can't have kids and losing my dog was like losing a child. I…read moreunderstand that not everyone gets that but Diesel was much more than my dog, he was my best friend, my companion and my support animal. My parents considered him their grandson! To get to the point, dealing with Petland was incredibly insensitive as if they could care less. When they left a voicemail that he was ready for pick up, the lady finished the call with "what the fuck was that..." CLICK! I walked out of the "shop" with a blue plastic bag as if I had picked my dog up a bone or toy from the pet shop. The sincerity should be no different if you're picking up your family member vs. a precious family member (animal). I will never deal with Petland in the future and will be making a formal complaint with the owner!

When I did some research regarding the best pet food to feed my dogs, I decided on Orijen (a premium, grain free food) and was surprised to see that they carried it! I was figuring I'd have to go to Olympia, or farther, to find it, but nope....this cute little store right in my hometown carries it! Not only that, but they loaded me up with free samples to try. (They do have samples of several other types of food, so if you are trying out something new this is a great place to go.) I also get my cat's food here (Halo) and my dad has purchased baby chicks here as well. They carry tons of different things, for all types of pets. To top it off, their service is impeccable (they ALWAYS greet you when you come in, and carry your heavy bags of food out to your car for you) and they have a loyalty discount program that you can sign up for. LOVE this place and I've recommended it to everyone I know.
