    I went into DESPARATE MODE, my lil kitty Sombra started going into heat yesterday! OMG, she…read morereminded me when I started menstruating, the ache, pains, bloating, discomfort, kind of losing my marbles of those feelings for the first time. I felt bad for my Sombra even tho SHE was going through a change, and only me, her mommy, had to act very, very fast to try and figure out how can I get her back to feeling somewhat better temporarily. I couldn't wait for Amazon to deliver a day or two later. I called Petsmart Merced, spoke to Jonathan and he quickly guided me with some products they may have in stock. Once I arrived, another staffer directed me to the right isle and I was able to view what I believed my kitty needed but I needed Jonathan's feedback too and WE both picked up the same product. Thank Jonathan and team for your assistance to this urgent matter. I would recommend my family, friends and newcomers to Petsmart Merced. Everyone have a wonderful day! Yes, I am calling around for my kitty to be spayed soon I hope. It killed me to see how my Sombra was suffering going into heat.

    I went to see her for the CGC exam, and we went through all 10 parts. My dog did a great job with…read morejust a few prompts. She tried to nitpick a couple of things, but nothing major. The only part he couldn't complete was staying alone for 3 minutes with the evaluator--which, from my understanding, can be waived since he's my service dog. Then she claimed he failed three portions, which was simply not true. I was so upset I asked her to redo the test. She ran through everything on camera again, and he did great. Then she brought out another dog and started clicking while bringing it over--something no trainer should do. My dog gave a subtle growl but stayed in place. She jumped on that, said he failed, refused to continue the evaluation, and tried to push me into training with her. What a crook. If you use her, I promise issues will come up eventually. I paid $75 for that evaluation, and my dog passed the test with flying colors. WHAT A CROOK! FKIN SCAMMER. I thought I replied to her comment, but I sent her a message directly, so I am sharing with you what I said to her. Please work to uphold the integrity of the business: She contradicted herself, calling my dog sweet while claiming "aggression" was the issue. He passed every requirement except the 3-minute stay, which she refused to complete. Yes, he whined, but the entire interaction felt off from the start. Thank you for the refund, but it was well deserved. The whole process was shady--you were clearly ready to fail him. Completely inappropriate.

    I wanted my dog to be a therapy dog, and after researching lots of dog trainers, I settled on…read moreEmily. And I am so glad I did. She was knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and it was obvious that she had tons of experience. She created a really open and enjoyable environment for both my dog and I to learn. I think what I'm more grateful for beyond the fact that my dog was able to pass the AKC CGC exam with Emily's training, but I have so many more tools at my disposal to connect with my dog. Emily was worth every penny.

She emphasizes the importance of timing and consistency when training a dog. Our puppy got off to a good start boarding with her for three weeks of training before we took over. Teaching us, the owners, what we needed to learn to continue the training she had started, Florenza broke down our tasks into small steps and watched, either in person, via a video or on zoom, as we worked to emulate what she had taught us. She is very good about staying in touch, always writes follow-up notes and answers all questions. In addition, she a very nice person.

She has also taught me as well and I have learned so much from her. Florenza has taught us all the way from obedience, trick training, and scent detection as well as sport work! We are very advanced now but all because we had the best teacher and mentor. She is very knowledgeable and detailed oriented as well as only wants what's best for you and your dog. She really cares and it shows! You will have to put time and hard work into training but she helps guide you and makes you such a better dog handler! Thank you so much for not giving up on us and giving us the knowledge and skills I needed to help further my dogs training. Your simply the best!
