    I have been following Erika's Instagram for a few years, and I think she is the cat's pajamas! I…read morestarted joining her live streams and asking questions and I have learned a lot. I'm on the west coast, so I didn't think we could actually work together, but find her quite accessible since she does virtual sessions and is also active on her Patreon. I have a lot of experience with dog rescue, and I often adopt dogs with special needs. I have a dog that has obviously experienced some trauma around other dogs, and Erika has been incredibly helpful. She is generous with her knowledge and her time, she has lots of training tools like handouts and videos, and she is a delightful person in general. Great sense of humor, and it feels warm and fuzzy to work with her, which is so nice because often when we have problematic dogs, we don't feel good about it and we blame ourselves. Not only does she use positive reinforcement in her training for dogs, but also for people, because often it is us that needs to be trained. My dog is doing so much better since I started working with her. I highly recommend. I'm excited to work with her more in the future.

    Erika was recommended to me from a local pet store and I couldn't be happier. I adopted a 7 week…read moreold puppy from a farm (lab/border collie mix) and was totally clueless. This was my first puppy and I work a ton! Erika came to my place stating when Koda was about 10 weeks old. We did the puppy basic but Erika adjusted to our speed (Koda is fricking smart and picks things up so fast). I have never seen anyone respond to emails faster in my life! And Erika is always on Instagram like me so I can get tips and tricks even when we aren't in session! Koda is now 4 months old.. he responds to sit, stay (with distractions and long periods of time), down, touch, paw, other paw lol, crate, "home" (his play pen), leave it, drop... and he is amazing on a leash now. He goes potty almost on command. I got him potty trained in 4 days (aside from the occasional accident when he is excited to see people) Anyway.. I love Erika and wish I wasn't moving to St. Louis. But, it's awesome knowing I can always email or call her!

    There's been alot of talk about Petsmart, recently. I have been taking our dog, Harley, there to…read morebe groomed, for 7 years. I've never had an issue. Our dog is a collie, shephard mixed. He is very tempermental, I warned the groomer, if he's not cooperating, whatever your doing, stop. I have the same groomer for Harley, each visit. I call to check on him, never a problem. I pick him up, when they call, he's clean, happy and trimmed. If the grooming isn't what I requested, they will fix it. Never a problem. I tip the young lady that does Harley, she does such s great job. I will keep using Petsmart, as I pleased with their services. I am not lifting an 80 lb dog into the tub; then have a clean-up job afterwards. Keep up the good job, Mantua Petsmart.

    Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing…read more Three days ago, I took my dog in for a bath and haircut. I even paid extra to have his teeth brushed because I expected a higher-quality service. When I picked him up, it honestly seemed like he hadn't been properly bathed at all. He still smelled very bad, almost as if he had only received a dry bath. What upset me the most was the haircut. They completely ruined the shape of his face, and the hair on his forehead looked like it had been cut with zigzag scissors. He was left looking choppy, uneven, and poorly groomed. A few hours later, we called to explain the situation, hoping they would be willing to make it right. Instead of apologizing or showing any concern, the manager was extremely unprofessional. He told us that since it was only our third visit, "that's what we paid for." He also said that if we wanted our dog to smell better, we would have had to pay an additional $30. The way they handled our complaint was even more disappointing than the grooming itself. We weren't looking for an argument--we simply expected them to listen to our concerns and offer a reasonable solution. It's very disappointing to pay for a service and receive such poor results, followed by such disrespectful customer service. Unfortunately, we will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this place.

    You know you're in the right place when your dog goes crazy as soon as you pull into the driveway…read more Plenty of space to work off his energy. friendly hard working staff. Great place!!!!

    I would give zero stars! Please do yourself a favor and stay far away from this poor excuse of a…read moredoggy daycare! The service is absolutely deplorable, not to mention the manner in which they didn't mind sending my dogs home. Purely filthy as if they have been in a horse stable for several days! Accountability is not their strong suit and neither is taking care of dogs while they're under their care. Where do I even begin!?!? Let me Istart with the main issue which was they sent one of my dogs home with fecal matter embedded on his behind. They claim he had diarrhea on Saturday, but never told us about it or mentioned any issues with the dog upon pick up. Let it be noted that I have never seen diarrhea, thick and chunky like this ever in my life. It simply slipped their mind to tell my husband that the dogs were under distress and had diarrhea, but please bear in mind that they surely didn't forget to collect the payment from us. What's most disappointing is when this was pointed out to them after calling on four different occasions, and sending one email through their portal in a matter of a day. They were unapologetic and simply didn't care about any of my concerns and tried to say that the dogs were not friendly towards people which I know to be false when we have had them under the care of other doggy daycare's on numerous occasions. Unfortunately, the one the one we go to was booked for the time frame we needed, so which forced us to give this place a try. Once I mentioned this fecal matter, I was told they were also not friendly to the people there and they were scared to clean them. The next thing I was told is that they tried to clean them, but they didn't want to get bit. You would think I brought full grown aggressive dogs there. Please bear in mind that they are 8 and 35 pound cavapoos and we have never heard this from anyone a day in our life. They are sweet dogs that are friendly, and if they don't feel like being bothered, they stay to themselves, but never are aggressive in any manner. The next thing they went on to say was that they did not like the dogs and we're not friendly to them either. Once I mentioned how disgustingly filthy our dogs were, then I was met with oh they played with the dogs all day and that's why they were so filthy, when just moments ago, you advised that they didn't like any of the dogs and were not friendly to them. If you're going to lie, please remember your lies before you tell another one that totally contradicts the last one. Yes, the manager could care less, but these are the owners that I'm speaking about which is even more deplorable! It likely was difficult to remember since the entire time the owner was discussing and asking for insight with someone else while we were on the phone, as if she cannot speak on her own. Needless to say, my dogs will never be back to this facility and I hope to educate other people on this place and that is in their best interest to find somewhere else to take their pets while they're on vacation! I spent an hour and a half cleaning both dogs thoroughly and trying to get the fecal matter off of the one dog and used an entire bottle of shampoo. To sum this up, The Customer Service is poor, care and attention that they put on the animals is poor, the accountability aspect is poor and rather than saying, our dogs are not people friendly dogs, they should look at themselves because they are definitely not in the right business to provide customer service to paying customers and try to assist customers when they have an issue that their establishment caused. Just to give you a visual of what we experienced when we picked up our dogs, I have attached pictures. I'm sure anyone would agree that that it doesn't have to be a baby to be entitled to a clean environment and a clean body. This is an extremely upsetting state to send a pet home in. They deserve to be treated kindly and taken care of while their owners are away. This was truly a disgrace and they are super unprofessional.
