We went there this Saturday afternoon to grab some crickets for our gecko. The store was bustling…read morewith activity, and we had the chance to pet some sweet dogs thanks to the policy that allows pets in the store. The store itself was clean and tidy. Everything was organized very efficiently. We found The Crickets close to the aquarium, however there was only one employee working by the aquarium there was a significant line. We waited for a few minutes to make sure that we were where we needed to be, and waited a few more minutes in order for him to help the other two customers in line ahead of us. The employee gave us good advice on the corrective for us to get. Just wish there was less of a wait in order to get it. There were also quite large lines at the checkout, but they opened a line quickly. All in all it was a pleasant experience at the store we will be back now that we know where to find our crickets.

I love A Pleasant Dog and have been training with them for 5 years with my oldest dog who has…read morelearned agility, earned a TKN and a TKI (trick dog notice and trick dog intermediate titles) and was able to overcome his reactivity to earn his CGC (canine good citizen title). Most recently I've started scent work with my new puppy and have been attending the basic obedience classes with the puppy. The trainers are friendly and knowledgeable and the classes are fun. But, most importantly, we've seen great results and I truly have 2 pleasant dogs.

Their training of young dogs was fine, but the ancillary services available later aren't worth the…read morecost. Young staff member lectured us if we were a little late, claiming we were throwing their whole schedule off. Rarely were there other vehicles or customers there, so I'm not sure how that was possible. Their services usually took 5 -10 minutes, with every minute of it seeming rushed, adding anxiety to our dog. Staff member didn't appear to have maturity to handle challenges, or interested in our dog. Based upon what staff we've met, you might get a good experience, but you're just as likely to get told that any problem is because of you or your dog, and they can't help you. Oh, and they pre-charge for the services, so if you don't have a good experience, well, that must be because you did something wrong. Pleasant for their accounting, not so much for your dog.

I highly recommend Barkbusters!!!! Their training was effective immediately. I have used other…read more"trainers" and methods and this gave us the quickest change in behavior and understanding. My dogs bad habit(s) changed instantly when I began using the "tools/strategies/tips" that were given. The corrections are easy and only require consistency from us. I also really appreciated that one piece of the training was solely focused on "understanding" your dog(s) and why they behave in certain ways. This helped us so much!!!! Also, Erin was So GREAT! She is highly knowledgeable, caring, patient and so easy to work with. You can tell she has a ton of experience and understands dogs and dogs within family structures. If you are willing to be consistent you will have well behaved dogs both inside and outside the home.

Whiskers was truly a life saver for our reactive dog, Odin. He was people and dog reactive and…read morewhiskers was the only place that we trusted to leave him when we went on vacations. The staff was always so incredibly understanding and empathetic to his situation and made every accommodation for him to feel safe. We really appreciated the text message and photo check ins to know how he was doing. As nervous owners it really helped reassure us he was in a safe loving situation. The penthouse option allowed the staff to be completely hands off but still give him the freedom to be inside or outside as needed. Although we had to say goodbye to Odin we will continue to take any future pets to whiskers, they truly care so much about each animal that comes through the door!

Have taken my dog here for boarding and grooming . Staff was friendly each time we were there…read more The boarding experience was good. Staff was friendly, kept us up to date on how our boy was doing. It was our first time leaving him since we adopted our dog. So the small updates helped ease our mind. I believe our boy was feeling sad towards the end of our vacation and wasn't eating much just days before we arrived home. Again the staff was amazing , kept us up to date, worked with us to help Bruno eat and lift his spirits. The grooming part, we are very happy with. Bruno came from a troubled past, sadly he was mistreated and he suffers from anxiety and has a fear of nail trimming and baths. But thankfully we found someone who is very patient, kind and Bruno responds very well with. He's a very affectionate dog and soaks up all the love and attention he gets when he goes in for his grooming

Professional, kind to dogs, friendly and finished up quickly. Best system I have had great experience with company for over 23 years

I was completely blown away when I called to order a replacement collar and was informed that it…read morewould cost $430! Just for a replacement collar! That's not for the installation of the wire, training or anything else. Just the basic, simple dog collar. I really wish I would have been made aware when I purchased and had installed the system that their replacement collars were so stupidly expensive. That is half the cost of one of those more up-to-date, portable, changeable GPS fencing systems by Halo or Cesar Millan. In hindsight, I should've purchased one of those systems first instead of wasting my money on the Invisible Fence brands.
