When my family got another dog we brought him here for training too, which is just the best way to set a foundation for success with dogs! Tyler is the best trainer and can always work with people to develop the skills they need to have their dogs be well behaved and happy. He is great at finding unique solutions to even the strangest of "problem behaviors." Whenever I know anyone who gets a new canine family member, I always recommend training with Tyler! Tabby is the groomer we see and she so nice! She always discusses what kind of services and haircut my dog will get to make sure it's the best options for him and she understands the look/function I am looking for. She is very patient with my dog and I know I can trust her to take good care of him when I drop him off for grooming! The store is also great, with so many options, and I like the Treats reward program because it does provide more cost savings than many other rewards programs.

We recently completed Puppy Training at this Petco and had a great experience. Our class ended up…read morebeing just two dogs, which meant the trainer could really meet us where we were at with skills. Dustin was fantastic -- friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer questions or give extra guidance. Our puppy made huge progress socializing thanks to him. The store itself is well stocked, and order pickup is always easy and reliable, which I really appreciate. My only complaint is the cleanliness. There always seems to be miscellaneous trash on the floors, likely from other customers, but it means I'm practicing "leave it" and "drop it" way more than necessary with a curious puppy. Overall, great training experience and solid store -- just hoping they improve floor cleanliness.

This was ANOTHER terrible experience; I keep saying that I won't ever shop here again but my…read moredaughter wanted to try again. The service is terrible and slow, we waited by the fish after asking for help multiple times. Every time I visit this location it's a bad experience. We planned on literally spending hundreds of dollars on fish, a tank, plants etc. what another disappointment. -by my mom

Our pup Dolly is a rescue puppy. She was about 14 weeks old when we got her. Katie came and did an…read moreevaluation within a week and determined a path of training for Dolly who was timid and afraid of noises, afraid to leave our side and needed a lot of direction and attention. Using Katie's techniques and positive rewards in just 6 weeks Dolly is a different pup. She is inquisitive, playful and obedient. She loves the 'games' Katie has introduced and doesn't realize she is learning while playing. She even files her own nails. I would heartily recommend Katie and Empathy over Ego to anyone with a new pup they want to start out on the right path or even a mature dog that needs a little retraining. Thank you Katie.

Katie has been an amazing trainer to work with! We reached out to her to continue our education and…read morework on positive training methods for our 9-month old Lab/Shepherd puppy. Katie has helped make training fun and engaging, as well as extremely educational. It is clear how much experience Katie brings to the table, but she really individualizes each session to your dog's needs---all while holding space for the human members of the family and any challenges that come up. She even sends detailed notes after each session with additional resources, and they are so helpful to refer back to and mark progress. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to help the whole family strengthen their communication skills, and have more fun while along the way!

I agree with the other 1 star review, this place is awful. There was never water available, my dog…read morewas always crazy thirsty when he got home. He also always smelled like pee because they have fake grass and it doesn't get cleaned. The dogs are forced to lay in pee all day. My dog ended up getting bacteria problems on his skin because of it and had to go on antibiotics. The owner doesn't actually watch the dogs either, every single time I picked up my dog, Olivia (the owner) was in her house and dogs were alone outside. I could keep going on about the other issues I encountered. Do not bring your dog here. This place shouldn't even be open

I do not recommend! We signed up for an obedience class, we were promised that our pup would know…read more20 commands and she does not. The owner Olivia cancelled and rescheduled 2 out of the 4 classes 2 hours before drop off. I would call, text, leave messages and never get a response. My puppy came home the first class and was so thirsty. Like she hadn't been given water. The second class came home and smelled horribly like pee. Like she had been in a crate and just peed. I trusted this lady's business especially because she told me her husband was a Winthrop police officer. Worst experience ever!

Despite some misconceptions, retired racing greyhounds make fantastic pets. They are kind, gentle and loving animals. MGPS is staffed by a wonderful group of volunteers who treat these hounds with such compassion and are extremely helpful in placing the dogs with the right families. Highly recommend!!

Adopted Bob's Real News from them 6 years ago. Had to meet them at a Meet and Greet to ask…read morequestions, and give them a chance to screen me personally. On approval, I got to drive to Augusta to sorta "interview" dogs. Tigger, as I renamed him, chose me. He came up to me and put his head in my lap. The prior 2 dogs were a bit "standoffish." Once the selection was made, I found out that Maine GreyHound maintains responsibility for the dogs from cradle to grave. Had I been sick and could no longer care for the dog, they insist the dog be re-homed by them. They require the dog get a re-exam every 6 mos. They require that the dog never be let loose without a leash or a fenced back yard. They even organize search teams should your dog accidentally get free. As a retired race dog, he was fully house trained and even knew sign language commands! WowI Their Fostering system is second to none! I have never seen such strong stewardship for any other dog breed! Long story short, I had the 6 best years of my life with this beautiful brindle greyhound!
