My husband and I reached out to Lauren when we got our puppy. We were eager to start training, and…read moreLauren was wonderful with our new, very easily distracted, puppy. She connected with our dog, Andi, immediately. She taught Andi and us the proper way to train. We received weekly tips on how to practice what we all learned, and the training process moved at an appropriate pace for the development of our dog. When we hit a little snag in leash training, Lauren came up with several ideas to differentiate the way that we trained Andi on a leash. While she told us that these new ideas would not be "magic," one solution clicked instantly with Andi and she was a new dog on a leash. We now have a dog that listens, is able to be outside on and off leash, and is a wonderful member of our family. Thanks Lauren for all of your help with Andi!

How would you like to have a dog who sits instead of jumping, waits instead of dashing out the door, stays out of the kitchen instead of begging for food, and comes when you call them instead of chasing that squirrel? Impress your friends with dog tricks, and agility skills that will help your dog use up excess energy. With a combination of In-Home, Dog-Only, and Out-and-About training sessions, get your dog to listen to you, no matter what is going on around them.

As a follow up to my review, it has come to my attention during my last visit to the PetSmart on…read moreVictory Drive in Savannah, GA (10/28/2025) that Priscilla Nelson was dismissed as the Dog Trainer. Our five star review previously given on 10/14/2025 was for Priscilla. Obviously I do not know of the circumstances but she was the reason we went here. We completed two sessions of training with Priscilla for our new puppy. We were about to sign up for our third session when we learned of Priscilla's departure. Needless to say we did not subscribe to the third session nor will we ever shop in the store as well as encouraging our friends and family to do likewise. If PetSmart treats long time associates in the manner in which they treated Priscilla; then we will spend our money with companies who show compassion towards associates and the animals in which they serve. ---------------------------------- We just finished puppy and intermediate training with our Australian Shepherd puppy Ruby at PetSmart on Victory and cannot recommend these programs enough. We've gone through training with two of our other dogs but since Ruby is our first puppy, we wanted to make sure we knew what we should and should not do. Priscilla came recommended from neighbors and friends and they were correct. She is patient with all the puppies and humans. More importantly, she is firm but fair. We are excited to continue with additional classes in the new year to ensure we have a happy but well mannered Aussie that we can take anywhere.

I cannot say enough great things about Sterling with Big Blue Obedience. Within moments of his…read morefirst visit, our puppy was responsive to him and following his commands. I was truly amazed at how quickly our puppy responded to Sterling. He is incredibly knowledgeable and truly has a gift with dogs. In just a few sessions Sterling taught us how to have our puppy sit, heal and not pull on the leash. Even our vet commented on how different our puppies behavior was since starting training. Sterling was very patient throughout it all and happily answered texts with a few questions I had. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog trainer.

I wish I had taken the one star Google review that said she's crazy more seriously. That reviewer…read moremust be a very nice person, because to say she's crazy is definitely an understatement. We had her come over for $100, and it turned out to be a nightmare. She came when my puppy woke up--instead of letting me take the puppy to potty, she insisted playing with him until he peed/pooped at the wrong spot. Then she stopped me to pick up the poo, put a treat right next to his poo, and our puppy for the FIRST time ate a piece of poo, because the treat was placed right next to it. Words can't describe how bad the whole 20-minute session was. Her attitude was unprofessional and very condescending, treating us as if we are ignorant people. She kept saying "poor puppy" as if we are abusing him. The worst of the worst: when I cleaned the mess, she said to me "good job"--who does that? My husband and I were utterly shocked. Before she left, she insisted putting a dirty empty water bottle in the playpen to let the puppy chew, while our puppy has various good quality dog toys. We love our puppy dearly, which is exactly why we've been trying different configurations of his playpen and wanted to start training early. But it's the biggest mistake to have used this service. First time and definitely last time.

I foster australian shepherds and had a 'problem child' with stranger danger. He was a handful and…read morealways in protective mode, nipped at people, and charged my husband 4 times. With us, he eventually bonded but not with our adult children. We, through the rescue, reached out to Emily Beddard. She had him for 3 months. During that time, my husband decided he wanted to keep him and just manage the behavior. When the dog was 'ready', Emily contacted us and we drove down to pick him up. He is a changed dog - no longer immediately aggressive, still requires an introduction but has accepted everyone we have introduced, and is a total lovebug with them. The big test was over the holidays and he passed with flying colors. I credit Emily and her team as they provided him with training, but just as importantly heavy socialization and an opportunity to feel safe. When we picked him up, you could see how they loved him. They were also terrific about periodically sending pictures - I could see how happy he was in their care. He continues to be a happy, relaxed dog and we have maintained the introduction protocol that Emily taught us.
