    We got 2 new members in our family!! Meet Indigo and Fast Shadow! My kids wanted a pet and my husband and I thought fishes would be a good pet to start with. We got them each a betta fish. This Petco didn't have the best reviews but since we were around the area we decided to stop here and check out their fishes. My kids were so excited to pick out their Betta fishes! We bought food for them but their bowls and gravel we purchased somewhere else. The store seemed well organized and they seem to have almost anything you would need to care for your pet. I have to say that the customer service we received was really good. The lady at the register was friendly and gave us so tips on how to care for our new fishes.

    My dog got a really cute groom by Nancy today. He is a mini Goldendoodle. My family is obsessed with how cute he looks. And so soft. One star off bc it took over 3 hours but I think they over schedule her and it's not her fault. My mobile groomer is $125 and this was $130.

    Pet wheatgrass. Consistently terrible at this Petco!
    Cheryl C.

    Please let me say, I'm more of an easy 'high-rater" customer and feel good about telling others what they do well. I am simply not happy with this Petco, because the wheatgrass for cats is more often than not in bad shape. I've let this go literally for months, in hopes it would turn around. Unfortunately, it has not changed, which is why I'm writing this review. This live wheatgrass is an expensive item, a couple cents under $10.00, and your 'master' if you can keep it alive for 3-weeks with steadfastly following the instructions on how to make it last. If you compare the advertised picture of what Petco suggests you are buying to the uploaded photos (the one on the right was the best of what they had), you will be able to see what they are offering in reality does not fit what is advertised. This is not sturdy and hardy, and is on the brink of turning as bad as the others in the accompanying photo. Wheatgrass should be crunchy and healthy for cats to eat. This is flimsy, not full, soft and wilting. Think of yourself eating a salad you paid $10 dollars for that is the latter of what I just described! Not cool. When asked for a discount on this item, they said they "can't." When I asked to speak with the manager, whom I was told is Nancy, the person told me she is in a meeting. When I asked when she would be out of the meeting, I was 4:00pm. The time was 12:00pm that I inquired. Wow; a four hour meeting. Mine don't even last that long!! Not good business, not caring to be fair with customers, and not caring about the health of their pet-customers to provide such a low quality consumption product. Plus, it actually sticks in there. Yes, it's a pet store; however, I have been in other pet stores that do not smell. That's beside my point though for this review. Shame on you, Petco in Janss Market! I'll try PetSmart next time.

    I love coming to this Petco. It is a super convenient location (right in Janss Marketplace) and near a lot of other shops. The staff is very friendly and helpful when me and my dog visit. 10/10 recommend.

    See all

    I'll start off by saying I'm so glad out of all the dog trainers I was talking to for my boy, I…read moredecided to come to Matan! More specifically, the trainer Amelia is who my boy Finn, my family, and I are grateful for! My Australian Shepherd Finn is a good boy who has a lot of love to give, is goofy, and a ton of energy to go with him. But, while I love him to death, before training with Amelia he was always really reactive and sometimes aggressive with other dogs, super stubborn with commands, bad resource guarding, and even really bad leash walking. We've been training for a couple of months now, and my boy Finn has come such a long way! While he still has work to do and much more to learn, Amelia has helped us transform Finn into a much better dog in and outside of the house. I can take Finn for walks and not really ever worry about him pulling or getting reactive towards random dogs or people now. He's following his commands not just in the house, but out in public with distractions all around him. We're able to be near him while eating or even take toys or food away without him getting mad like he previously used to when he had resource guarding issues. He's even able to be in group classes now with many other dogs and he's able to participate, be engaged, and enjoy his time there with the other people and dogs! While I can't put everything that Amelia has helped us with, I can 100% say she has been such a good trainer for us and for Finn. Like I said, he still has much to learn but Amelia has helped us and my boy grow so much in the short time we've had. And even after all his training, he's still the same goofy, sweet, energetic boy he was before, just so much more mature and in control of his actions. Thank you Matan dog training and thank you Amelia!

    I'm highly upset and disappointed with this company. If you didn't read my husband's review…read morealready, I want to explain my frustrations. My sweet 1-year-old German Shepherd, Oso, was scheduled for a 2-week board-and-train and came home under horrible circumstances. We've had Oso since he was a baby and taught him the basics ourselves (Sit, Down, Wait, Up, Free, Spin) using positive reinforcement. See Video 1 for an example. Oso has had high reactivity toward other dogs, which we made very clear was something he needed training on. The trainers kept saying that he likes to "pick fights" with other dogs. I understand Oso has a big bark, but he has never once been aggressive toward another dog. We understand aggression can occur, and I'm not a dog trainer, so if that's what you call "picking fights," so be it. (See Video 2 for an example.) In Video 2, you can also see two trainers come together to talk about Oso's dewclaw. They didn't even know what it was called and referred to it as "weird," which I took offense to. Keep this dewclaw in mind, because that story isn't over. Communication overall was poor. For $2,000, I would expect, at minimum, pictures or videos every day. Mind you, when Oso was home, I had a dog walker who walked him for 30 minutes every day and sent me multiple videos along with a map of where they went on their walk. With this company, the pictures we received were mostly just Oso sitting outside on their dirt patches. We received two videos of Oso on the dog treadmill, with no explanation until I asked how long he was on the treadmill for. I felt like I constantly had to ask for information, and if I didn't ask, it wasn't a priority. Oso also came home with what looks like pimples on the inside of his mouth (see image). He did not have these prior to going there, as I am very conscious of everything regarding his health and appearance. The facility may not have noticed this, but I believe they would not take responsibility for it. I'd love to hear the excuse they would give: "These things happen." On the last day of his training (go-home day), we were already struggling to make the appointment because my husband and I are both active-duty military and can't just leave work. My husband received a call that Oso was receiving his bath, and during his blow-dry session, his dewclaw got caught in the grate and RIPPED OUT. I can't imagine the pain he was in. They took him to a local pet hospital, which didn't even see him until SIX hours after his initial arrival. After many attempts to get in touch with them regarding payment, Matan finally called and said he would cover it and that "things like this happen." I would love to see the camera surveillance and a written report of what happened. I can only imagine what the excuse will be as to why I'm not able to receive these from Matan. Oso is home with us now and recovering. We are extremely dissatisfied and honestly can't forgive ourselves for giving this company $2,000 for this treatment. Matan, to make this right, a refund is due--or at least half. We should have known we made a mistake when we paid first and then signed the contract stating refunds are not given. You were so personable and reassuring over the phone before booking, which unfortunately fooled us. Never will Oso or any of us be near this company again. I hope this review helps other responsible dog owners think twice before choosing this company

Leia usually barks at anyone and everyone, but she was calm and quiet. After taking her home we took her out to get a bath and I am very proud to say she did not bark at one person. We are so happy that Bar took the time to really see her potential and give her the basic skills to interact with humans and other dogs. I highly recommend Bar's training.

Bar is very patient and compassionate with both dogs and people. The one thing that really sold it to us was just how much Benny loves working with Bar. Benny is always excited to see him again for training sessions and boarding when we are out of town. We recommend Bar to anyone that needs help with their K9 family members.

I had been going to Zoom Room for over 2 years and had experienced some different trainers, some of whom were good, some bad. Finally, there was some consistency with an excellent trainer, Cari, and so I purchased an annual membership. Over the past year I had worked with Cari, who was fantastic. She had an amazing talent for knowing what you and your dog could handle and needed and she prioritized safety and the overall experience. Unfortunately, Cari left recently, and I have to imagine the owner had something to do with it, as clearly this location is horrendously mismanaged. There was a period of time where there were no classes available, and we were never told why. Then randomly they announced "new management" and brought in a trainer who had been shadowing Cari for just a few weeks as the new Manager and solo trainer. I had briefly worked with this trainer and I was not very impressed with his training skills. I did not feel like I would be making progress with my dog any more at this location, so I contacted the owner Diego asking for a partial refund. He talked disrespectfully about his previous employees, ranted about me not giving people a try, and raised his voice, berating me about "what if you signed up for a membership at a yoga studio and your favorite instructor left" among other things. During this rant he also shared that the trainers they get are untrained and uncertified and they go through some basic training before coming on board which does NOT inspire confidence in the future of this location. I have NEVER been spoken to in such a disrespectful, aggressive way as a customer. This franchise is clearly not well run. While they might find gems of trainers like Cari from time to time, you might also get stuck with untrained people.. or possibly even NO instructors. As another review mentions, consistency in trainer is absolutely critical to progress with your dog, and while I understand there is some employee turnover expected over time, this location has experienced too much turnover to be acceptable. I truly did love my experience with Zoom Room while Cari was there but now I highly recommend you save your money. It's not worth spending that much money to potentially have to keep working with different, random, possibly untrained employees and be talked down to by the franchise owner who really needs to hone his business and customer service skills.

She gave examples that tied into the horse world, which made the process so much more intuitive and familiar.
