Superb facilities and location with a perennial, steadfast legacy in the local dog world…read more Reasonably priced. However, I WOULD NOT recommend this place for FIRST TIME puppy owners. Especially if you're looking for just basic training a normal, well-adjusted home dog. Culture and vibe fit Best-In-Show-esque characters, a bit cultish (so if you're looking to do AKC comp stuff with a dog, consider this your place). Honestly, I wish I stopped going after the first session and listened to my gut when registration online was so archaic and wonky. It's left my puppy and I without confidence and more scared than before. Understanding that dogs, trainers, people don't always align, I'd recommend they do a free or by-session rate to ensure fit before committing to a class. Although a reasonable price, really regretting the sunk cost. They also need to get into the 21st century of communications and UX experience- I never received any type of registration confirmation, reminder, nada. We also started off on the wrong foot not knowing where to go the first day BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF INFO and were late. My puppy is far from being an angelic but everything about this place has made it worse. It may be part of the business model as to not want outsiders enrolling. Communications cont'd- I was taking my puppy potty outside during class, leashed, in the lawn outside, gravitated towards the fenced agility arena (all well behind the fence) where my puppy and I were SCREAMED AT to go away by some woman and her puppy in the agility arena. I get elevated voices if a dog or person is in harms way. BUT THAT. WE WERE BEHIND THE FENCE MINDING OUR OWN BUSINESS. If it had been polite, I would not be writing this. It seemed I never got a memo about an unwritten rule of where my puppy can potty and not potty, especially for a first time owner. Hopefully this post can point me in a direction of better fit elsewhere for a puppy and a first time owner.

Without their help, my 4…read moremonth old lab/Shepard would have grown up with no leash manners, no impulse control, continued biting/aggression, and would not have been potty trained! Funtastic K9 Training offers a wide range of selection in terms of training your dog, whether it be training a puppy or a full grown adult dog, or whether it's just a simple boarding situation. Either way, I am so happy that I trusted Lise and Mailee with my puppy, Pixie, as she was in their Puppy Board & Training for a week. As I am located 2 hours away in Duluth, Mn, I made the decision to put Pixie in Funtastic K9 Training's Puppy Board and Training program, and I am SO glad that I did. Lise & Mailee worked with Pixie intensively, they offer live updates on their Facebook page, as well as on their Periscope - where you can watch them train your dog through live videos, ask questions in real time, learn new tips, and listen in on their weekly Q&A periscope videos every Sunday! Lise and Mailee teach not only your dog, but you as well. Prior to training with Funtastic K9 Training, I thought that the dogs who had bad behavior were the ones at fault, when all along, it was often because of the bad behavior that owners taught to their dogs. Having picked up Pixie from her Puppy B&T, I can see the huge improvement that has come from training with Funtastic K9 Training for a week. Pixie now listens to her commands, is potty trained, has impulse control, enters her kennel when told, has threshold manners, leash manners, and looks to me for guidance in her next move/command. Even after training with Lise and Mailee for a week, they still offer guidance and tips whenever you need help with continuing the training at home; they make themselves available to help you whenever they can, and I - as well as so many others who have trained with Funtastic K9 Training - really appreciate it! If you are looking to train and/or board your dog, definitely keep Funtastic K9 Training at the top of your list! I guarantee that you will not regret it!!

Every time I have to stop at this store I leave with the most visceral annoyance. Let me start from…read morethe beginning with some context: 1.) My dog has significant digestive issues related to protein. He is required to be on Hydrolyzed Protein as it is easier to break down. This food requires a prescription for reasons unknown to me, and costs $150 per bag. Maplewood is one of few locations that have his food, so I am forced to stop here frequently. 2.) Because his food requires a prescription, I have to have Banfield create a mini prescription card before I can check out with his food. Most recently, I stopped into the store for food and when I went to check out the cashier stated that the prescription card was expired. It had been expired for five months, but apparently that wasn't an issue until right then. So, I get out of the line I had waited in, go to the Banfield counter (wait in line again), get the card replaced for what seems like the 75th time, and after they explained it expires once a year, I looked at the card and realized it actually expires every six months. Fine. I take the card, wait in line again, and the cashier is finally able to check me out. During my checkout (at which point I want nothing more than to exit the store) the cashier randomly starts telling me about how her mom got her two kittens and she is going out of her way to feed them well so that they "never have to eat this food." To me, this implies that I am feeding my dog prescription food because I somehow created this protein deficiency he's had since birth...? All of this to say - a trip that should take five minutes almost always ends up taking twenty. Despite having Banfield inside several PetSmart locations, they haven't incorporated any way for their staff to pull prescriptions. In my opinion, PetSmart isn't and has never been concerned about the customer experience. If you don't have to go to this location or a PetSmart in general, I wouldn't.

One word: RACIST! They refused service for my 6-year-old Shih Tzu. I was told he wouldn't allow the…read moregroomer to touch his face, and then I was told to have a vet shave his face before they would groom him. This was after one of the ladies told me she didn't want to use her clippers on him. Mind you, he's been going to another PetSmart location since he was 1. I then went to the Banfield hospital inside the store where my dog is a client. I explained everything to the vet there. My Shih Tzu was seen within the hour. Not only did they give him a medical shave, but I also had them give him his two shots that would be needed in the next two months. I also had his heartworm prevention medication done. Everything cost over $1,000. After picking up my pet from Banfield around 4, I walked back inside the grooming department hoping to schedule my Shih Tzu for a later date. The lady then told me no one there felt comfortable grooming my Shih Tzu at a later time. I was told everyone had agreed they didn't want to service him--just a total refusal. I was livid after spending over $1,000 and being told this, especially after I was instructed to have a vet shave his face before returning for grooming. My guess is they are Trump supporters, enforcing the order he signed allowing them to refuse service. By the way, I'm Black, and my husband is a Caucasian Army veteran who served 26 years fighting for this country.
