I wish I could give this place zero stars. Today, I went here with a couple of friends and our dogs. We were there to shop and work with our dogs on behaving in public. One of my friend's dog is very shy and skittish so he wanted to work with her on being more social. We walked in and an older man immediately swarmed us and stared swooping down at our dogs, scaring them. He started hassling us about bringing our dogs to classes, etc. We politely listened before walking away. We walked through the store shopping and giving our dogs treats for good behavior. My friend's dog was shaken up because that petco employee had repeated reached out at her even though she was trying to run away from him...and he says he is a dog trainer. Really? A few minutes later the man, whose name is Rodney, walked up to me and said "Ma'am, step outside with me for a minute". Um...no. I asked him why and he said it was because he needed to speak with me outside. I said absolutely not and he could talk to me right there. He then proceeded to tell me that I'm not allowed to train dogs in the store and that he knows I'm a dog trainer. Um...what? I suppose he thought this because I was holding the treats. I told him I am not a dog trainer and that my friends and I were just working on training our own dogs while shopping. He repeatedly said "are you sure about that?". Yeah, I'm pretty freaking sure. He was extremely rude and repeatedly told me to step outside with him. I was beyond uncomfortable and offended by his rude and inappropriate behavior. He finally walked away in a huff. We stayed for about 15 more minutes. During that time a woman that I'm assuming is the store manager followed us around and stared at us, making us extremely uncomfortable. She literally stalked us the entire time we were there. We finally decided to leave, and I went to check out. Of course, wonderful Rodney was working the register. Being the unprofessional weirdo that he is, he asked someone else to check me out. This woman, not sure of her name, spoke to me like I was a freaking criminal and was incredibly rude. I am so beyond annoyed and pissed off with these unprofessional idiots. I have never in my life had an experience like this. Rodney clearly knew nothing about animal behavior and has NO social skills whatsoever. To be completely honest, he is creepy. I will NEVER shop in this store again and neither will my friends. read more
