I can't say thank you enough to Til Valhalla Working K9's! We are very overprotective of our dogs,…read morebut when we had to go out of town & didn't know who to call for help, we connected with Til Valhalla Working K9's. Our Aussie had never been away from us so leaving him was tough for him & us. Jaymie & her family were so wonderful with helping him get settled & feel comfortable & confident. They included training techniques with him that I didn't realize he'd been missing. Now we drop him off there every once in a while for a day away & he loves it!

It was an amazing experience to meet the dogs as they were all so lovable. Riley was very nice and informative answering questions I had about his sled dogs. They play a 30 minute movie which I didn't get to watch due to my schedule. I highly recommend making this stop in Wasilla!

I have not taken part in the training but there are awards covering the every wall. Has to be a sign of success. ;)

Piper has trouble…read moretrusting both humans and dogs so it has been a challenge to find places that will take her on for boarding. I chatted with Kristina before booking her in to Howl-a-Day and she instantly put me at ease. She understood Pipers needs and didn't have a problem accommodating them. Because they have indoor/outdoor runs, Piper was able to stay separate from other dogs and humans and still get outside for play and potty time. :) When a snowstorm hit the morning, I was supposed to pick Piper up and I couldn't get out of Anchorage, she was able to keep Piper for an extra day no problem! Will definitely book with Howl-a-Day again! It's great to have another resource for boarding when unexpected travel comes up!

We took our young German Shepherd here for two weeks of boarding and some training. She was eight…read moremonths old. The owner put her in an ecollar and when we went to visit and check her progress she was thin and had picked up lice. She was terrified. She was supposed to stay longer but I was crying when we left without her and I told my husband to turn around and we went back and took her home. That was when we found the lice. I was devastated that we had unwittingly put our young dog in this situation. This was several years ago but... Beware!

As follow up to my poor service experience with Petco Wasilla, I spoke with my vet again regarding…read morethe wellness letter your staff said my vet will know all about. They have six people working in the office and none of them know what you're talking about. They have never issued anything other than the check up report and rabies certificate we gave your staff. They are checking with Petco Corporate but said they've heard of a vet issuing a "wellness letter" to a groomer. How can you improve? Fire your rude incompetent two bit manager and mean girl workers. Petco is a business that should provide good service to its customers. Not your staff rudely lecturing customers about what they want the customer to do when they show up for an appointment that took a month to get. It was a total waste of our time and we will not be back. My hope is those who take time to read this review will arrive at the same conclusion and run for the hills. This place is not worth the brain damage. Stay away.

I visited Petco Wasilla store and talked to a manager regarding my vet putting my dog on…read moreprescription wet food because of allergies. We had 6 cases of non prescription wet canned food that we had ordered because the store was always out of that food. I asked the manager if we could return the 6 cases all with late 2026 expiration dates and he said yes. He said we can do a store credit or put the credit back on your card. The next day I carried 6 cases in to the store and the manager was not in. The sales clerk said we don't accept returns after 60 days. A different manager came out and she pulled up my name and we have no record you purchased this food here. I told her I ordered that food from them in the store for the last 5 years. After 30 minutes of them trying to find my order I pulled up my bank records on my phone and showed her all of the orders. Magically they were able to find my orders. She told me that the manager I met with was new and that they could only give me a store credit. I insisted on a refund. The manger went to the back room to call her boss and came out and said we will only give you a store credit. The new food is only available on line and using the store credit would not allow me to do repeat orders to reduce cost of the case. I agreed and so she started processing the credit in her register and turned to me and said the system will not allow me to process the credit because it is over 60 days since you purchased. I spent over an hour dealing with incompetent people and walked out with the 6cases. I will pay more purchasing from my vet before I will ever step a foot in that store.

She also needs an indoor facility for winter group classes. She is an experienced trainer who should expand her offerings.
