Ivy is all clean!
Michelle C.

Iv been here a few times for food, treats and other goodies. This review is mainly for the self wash station! I love it! It makes it so much easier to wash my Pup! It's $12 and they supply the shampoo, conditioner, brush, and towels. They also have a dryer. I used to give my dogs baths at home but now I just come here to make it easy. I can keep all the dirt and mess here and don't have to worry about the hair clogging any drains! All of the staff are super nice and helpful as well.

Free bag of treats at graduation!!

Nothing but positive experiences here, always! We are always greeted coming in and leaving, and on top of that most of the staff remembers my dog and I. Every time we come in someone will almost always ask about my dog if he's not present, or greet him (with treats sometimes) if he's with me. This store also tends to have some really good deals too. I always come here for my dogs' food and for sure take advantage of their rewards system. I have also done training here with Pearla and she's the best. She definitely knows her stuff and likes to have fun with her training sessions. Overall: It's a great place to go for your pet needs. Take them with you as you shop around or bring in your pup for a bath!! $10 self wash

Fluffed, clean and smelling good! Chama, the cockapoo

I LOVE their self service grooming and washing station they have here. Great idea! It's only $10, they provide you with everything. (3) Bath tubs, towels, shampoos and conditioners, perfume, grooming stations, chains to tie your pup up as you wash them. *they don't provide clippers or any hair cutting tools, strictly dog wash. It's my favorite place to take my dog in between groomings with our usual lady. It's not timed and you don't have to worry about making a mess at your house. Only con is there's one hair dryer. I like to fluff my dog and it's a first come first serve basis so you have to share it. They need another one in my opinion. The store itself, sells a variety of different foods like the Organic and healthy brands of dog food, which is great because my dog has to be fed a certain kind. I like the location of this store is super convenient and close to home. I hope really hope they get good business because I would hate to see this store shut down.

Great snacks for Liz!

Best Unleashed/ Petco I've been to in a while. I am new to the Spring Valley area so I thought I'd make my self and Lizzy (my dog) there. I need a great pet supply shop that is close to my house and thank goodness that Unleashed is 3 blocks away from me. Lizzy likes Pig Ears, Bully Sticks, Chicken Feet; come to find out Unleashed had them all and more! had to pick me up some with the great 5 for $5 deal they had going on. After my check out I was there for maybe another 15 minutes getting info on all the pet food they have at the store and training they provide for dogs. The associates are very nice and treat a customer right. I will be signing Lizzy up for classes soon and continue to be an Unleashed customer!

See all

They come to you, which makes the process convenient and helps the trainer work with your dog in the exact environment where the behavior matters most. Katie was professional, patient, and very knowledgeable. She explained everything clearly, tailored the training to my dog's needs, and gave me simple steps to follow between sessions. I saw real progress quickly, and my dog is calmer, more responsive, and much easier to manage day to day. If you are considering dog training, I highly recommend Wolf Girl Canine Club. When you reach out, ask for Katie.

A neighbor recommended Katie of Wolf Girl Canine Club on Nextdoor, and I decided to give training one more shot. Boy, am I glad I did. Katie worked magic with our sled dog. She now expects to play the "heel game" on every walk, and when we run out of treats, she still stays right by my side. What a difference. Walks are now a joy, and the carpal tunnel that I didn't know was caused by the sled dog has eased. I loved how Wolf Girl Canine Club approaches training with kindness and patience - no choke collars, shock collars, or harsh reprimands. Our sweet but stubborn girl heeled because she wanted to. She adored her friend Katie and looked forward to the training sessions. And, while she had suffered from abandonment issues with the other trainer, by the second lesson, she was ignoring us and happily setting off with her new friend. Katie also kept us up to date with photos and even training videos so that we could see er work and follow-up on her progress. This extra effort really helped us stay on track. I recommend Katie and her methods without reservation. Wolf Girl Canine Club will be our first step with future fosters. And, frankly, I cannot wait to see the next transformation. I am so grateful to have found a kind, effective, and thorough trainer.

From…read morethe very first time I reached out, Philly's kindness, professionalism, and humility were evident, and the way he took the time to explain his training philosophy, services, and pricing with complete transparency made me feel genuinely comfortable. There was never any guessing or confusion - just sincere, open communication that showed how much he truly cares about the families and dogs he works with. We recently boarded our two dogs with Philly while we were away on a family trip, and I can't express how relieved and reassured I felt knowing they were in his care. Philly went above and beyond. He created a group chat for my husband and I to streamline communication, and we received consistent check-ins, videos, and the sweetest pictures. You could see it in our dogs - they felt happy, safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. That kind of peace of mind is priceless. Philly is an exceptionally talented trainer, and his passion for what he does shines through in everything he does. He has such a natural, intuitive way with dogs - patient, gentle, confident - and it's clear that this work is not just a job for him, but a calling. He treats every dog like family, and that level of genuine care is incredibly rare. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, trustworthy, and deeply committed to the well-being of your doggos - someone homegrown, family-oriented, and wholeheartedly invested, Philly's the person you want in your dogs' lives, especially when you're away. We trust him wholeheartedly and plan to board with him again in the future! Thank you again, Boss Dawg K9 Training!

Cane Corso was attacked on the beach by a bigger dog. Afterwards our dog was more aggressive towards other dogs and people. We were worried that he would become more aggressive as he got bigger, so we found Devotion to Dogs and started training with them when he was around 6-7 m.o. He learned how to sit, stay, lay down and come when called to us with in a week and a half. With consistent training his behavior has improved significantly and is not aggressive towards other dogs and people. He will also listen with no hesitation to my husband and myself when we yell a command at him even when he is around other dogs and distractions.

We were scared to even bring her outside on a walk because she would go insane at anything that moved. As two teenagers who just moved out on their own we were lost and felt very hopeless on what to do. The last thing we wanted to do was have to surrender her especially after her past. We looked around for weeks trying to find the right place but many places weren't reliable and didn't seem like they would work. We contacted devotion to dogs and right away I knew we had to at least give it a shot. Going in I wasn't sure if it would work or if I was just wasting my money but I had to give it a shot. Even just after the first appointment, I felt confident taking her on walks and even being able to have her look at other people and dogs then look back at me for approval. It was really a night and day difference. I could not recommend this place more and honestly without them and without their help through this process I don't know where I would be with her. I can bring her confidently to a park and drop the leash knowing that she will come back to me the second I say. If you are looking for a sign to get your dog trained here this is it!

My friends nicknamed her Cujo, it was that bad. I couldn't invite people to the house. Summer of 2025 I have a dog that loves meeting new dogs and people and runs around OB dog beach off leash. She's not reactive, she has great recall, she makes friends, I can have people over, she listens to commands, and she's so easy to walk. I took her into the vet this week and they removed the 'bite risk' warning from her file, they said it's like a completely different dog. She's not anxious or fearful. She's confident, playful, and so happy. All of this was because of training with John. He is patient, gentle, and kind. I can't put into words how grateful I am that we found him.

Bark Busters came to us highly recommended. After some research and reviewing Ted Talk and…read morearticles, I signed up our two rescue mix breed ~20lb boys. We are grateful to James of BB who placed us with Jenna. Our boys issues: high reactivity outside, especially other dogs, and inside, door bell, ring cameras, etc. Coupled with greetings by jumping and owning the house. Jenna set us on a path of activities for inside and was incredibly patient letting me share and ask questions, learning constantly. As we fine-tuned and we all got more comfortable we moved our training to outside. The methodology used is absolutely amazing and, I dare say, short of a miracle. We practice regularly and introduce the boys to different circumstances. All that food luring and positive food reinforcement training certainly has its place but only the techniques of BB with Jenna has helped our boys become trusting, comfortable, and happy. Here I thought I had to scan the horizon constantly to be aware of incoming dogs to prepare myself to hide behind a car or go in the corner behind garbage cans to get maximum distance. Not true. I walk no longer with my head on a lazy susan. We all are forever grateful. Our boys can lead richer more social lives. Thank you!!!

As first-time dog owners, the early support really did help us. Having someone we could call during those overwhelming first months was a relief. Over time, though, I realized I was hoping the training would shift toward more positive reinforcement. The constant, harsher corrections worked at first but eventually didn't seem effective anymore and started affecting my relationship with Mimi. I noticed this during a family trip where Mimi, who is usually fearful of strangers, bonded more easily with my husband and his family. She gravitated toward them when scared, and I realized it might be because they weren't following the correction-heavy approach, while I was. I also asked for help with Mimi's fear and reactivity toward other dogs, but was told they didn't have dogs available for training and that I would need to bring a calm, socialized dog myself. As a non-trainer, that was very hard, but we tried by traveling many hours to introduce her to my husband's family dog. The experience ended up being chaotic since the family didn't fully understand what the process required, and new people and dogs kept appearing even though Mimi wasn't ready. Her reactivity came back in that environment, which made me feel like the training had only put a bandaid on deeper fear issues. Maybe I should have clarified expectations better from the start, but with a high-need dog and being new to all of this, I didn't know what to expect. Since then, we've switched to a positive reinforcement trainer who organizes structured group activities. Mimi is still scared of bigger dogs and can still be reactive, but she's improving slowly and has been able to meet a few smaller dogs. She's also still fearful of people, but she nips a lot less now, so progress is happening. Overall, Bark Busters helped us in the beginning, but long-term we found that a different, more positive approach has been a better fit for Mimi.
