    Thank you Cynthia G! My girl looks amazing!!! I took my newly adopted dog in for her very first grooming. I had to wait a few minutes as the girl who was there was grooming another dog. She was very helpful and explained everything and gave recommendations on what style and cut would be good for my dog. My Scully girl looks amazing! Honestly she looks like a completely different dog! Lol!!! I'm so happy with how it came out! I will definitely come back!

    You can't tell but her tail is shaped just right!

    Thank you Benny G! You did an amazing job with my dog Rose! We had a really bad experience at a small mom and pop grooming location near by.. so We decided to try Pet smart.. Pricing was higher but quality of the cut and attention to every detail was amazing! Thank you & if you are looking for a groomer to groom your Maltese I'll definitely recommend you request for Benny G!

    Arianna is one of the dog trainers for this facility. She is the absolute best! She is knowledgeable, kind, approachable, and just overall helpful. The store is always clean and neatly organized. The cashiers helped me set up the online app so I can view my points and coupons better. This is just a really great PetSmart! My puppy just finished a six week training with Ariana and has learned so much they even had an adorable graduation ceremony at the end.

    This store is located in the plaza off Alameda in Compton off the 91 fwy. Store is clean and staff are helpful and friendly. Came here to pick up a toy for my Aunt's doggie they had a good amount to choose from ended up getting a tuffy jr bone toy. Overall a nice pet store for most of your needs.

    It's a cliché, but I never write reviews. This review is my one exception because I cannot…read morerecommend Diana more highly. She is dog whisperer, behavioralist and human therapist! From our very first visit, my very precocious reactive puppy immediately responded to her calm, loving demeanor. In that moment I knew she was the right trainer for us. She took the time to understand both my puppy and me, assessing our home environment, my work from home needs, and my puppy's unique personality to create a unique tailored approach. Diana helped me better understand my puppy and her behavior, as well as how she was responding to my own behavior. I learned that some of the practices I had used successfully with my previous dogs were actually contributing to my puppy's reactivity. We started with one-on-one training sessions at home, with homework in between. When we realized my environment was actually inhibiting our progress and making impulse control more challenging for my puppy, Diana suggested a board-and-train. This was a game changer. Diana provided regular video updates with narrated explanations and guidance to help me understand what she was doing and why. I was amazed at the progress my dog was making! My puppy emerged with all the beautiful characteristics she was born with - smart, energetic, outgoing and empathetic - but now she is calmer, more responsive, and much better able to manage her impulses rather than reacting to everything around her. Included in the board-and-train are several one-on-ones with me to ensure I have the tools to maintain and build on my puppy's progress. Diana has us practice not only at home, but also in places and environments we frequent, so that her training translates into our everyday lives. Diana is incredibly thoughtful in her approach, genuinely invested in both dogs and their humans, and always responsive to questions and issues as they arise. My puppy and I adore her. We both recommend Diana to anyone who not only wants to train their dog, but also to understand their dog and learn how to support them in becoming their best selves.

    We are so happy to post a message about Diana and Deep Connection. We contacted her at the…read morebeginning of the year because we had adopted a dog that had been in two shelters, had puppies in the shelter at 1 year old and had experienced other traumas in her past. Diana worked with us and gave us the tools to help her with confidence-building, trusting people and acclimating into our family that already had a spoiled and untrained dog. After many sessions and homework, we now have a dog that has so much more confidence, has learned to self soothe and is so much less stressed. She fits into our family perfectly and is like a different dog from the one we brought home that day. She was so skittish the first day that she shook even when we opened the refrigerator door. I can't say enough about Diana and her incredible knowledge of dog behavior, in addition to her years of experience. We are so grateful that we were referred to her! Thank you, Diana!!

In addition to that, they have a new groomer, Erick, that has bathed her a couple times and also does fur cuts. We have been having issues with burrs in our backyard getting stuck in her curly fur (she is a goldendoodle) and he took care of that for me. Now we are set for the summer, and I don't have to worry about digging out burrs on a daily basis. This service makes it so convenient for our family.

    5 STARS FOR OUR AMAZING TRAINER JOSH…read more 1 STAR FOR CORPORATE LEAVING US WITH ABRUPT ANNOUNCEMENT OF CANCELLED TRAINING SESSIONS. We had an absolutely amazing experience with Josh as Daisy's trainer, and we truly cannot say enough wonderful things about him. Josh was not just a dog trainer to us--he became someone we trusted, someone who understood our family, and someone who genuinely cared about Daisy and her success. From our very first session, Josh took the time to truly understand Daisy. He learned her personality, her behaviors, her challenges, and our family's concerns. He never judged us or made us feel like Daisy was a "bad dog." Instead, he was patient, compassionate, knowledgeable, and encouraging. He made us feel like we were finally on the right path. Having Josh come to our home made such a huge difference. He was able to work with Daisy in the environment where she actually lives and help us learn how to handle situations as a family. He didn't just train Daisy he trained and educated us as her family too. He always listened to our concerns, answered our questions, and made sure we understood what we could do at home to continue helping her. After only FOUR sessions with Josh, we saw an incredible difference in Daisy. She learned so much in such a short amount of time. Most importantly, she was finally able to coexist with our 3-year-old child and 7-year-old child in a way that we had struggled to achieve before. Now our children love Daisy, they play with her, and we are able to see them building a bond with her. Watching that transformation has meant so much to our family. Josh cared about Daisy like she was more than just another dog he was assigned to train. He genuinely celebrated her progress, understood when she was struggling, and always treated her with patience and kindness. You could tell that he truly cared about both Daisy and our family. We felt comfortable with him, we trusted him, and Daisy trusted him--and that trust is incredibly important when working with a rescue dog. Unfortunately, after our fourth session, we were informed that the company had decided to cut their Dog training program and that Josh would no longer be able to continue training Daisy. We were honestly extremely upset and disappointed. I feel that the company should have allowed us to complete the remaining six sessions of Daisy's training with Josh. We had finally found someone who was willing to understand Daisy, work with her, and help our family. It took a lot for us to get to this point, and stopping her training halfway through felt incredibly discouraging, leaving us out of the dark and what we were going to do next. By that point, we had built a relationship with Josh, and Daisy had built a relationship with him as well. Starting over with someone new after finally finding someone we trusted was very difficult for us. We wish the company had taken that relationship and Daisy's specific circumstances into consideration before making the decision to stop her training with Josh. The most frustrating part is that we were finally seeing the results we had been hoping and working so hard for. Daisy was learning. Our children were becoming comfortable with her. Our family was learning how to better communicate with and understand her. And Josh had become an important part of that progress. Although Daisy's training with Josh has unfortunately stopped, we are incredibly grateful for everything he accomplished with her in just four sessions. He gave Daisy a chance to succeed, and he gave our family confidence that we could help her become the happy, well-adjusted dog we knew she could be. Josh is truly an amazing trainer and an incredible person. His patience, compassion, knowledge, and genuine care for the animals and families he works with are very special. We just wish Doggieland had allowed us to complete the remaining six sessions with Josh. After everything our family and Daisy had been through, we finally found someone who understood her and helped her thrive. Four sessions made such a tremendous difference in our family's life, and we can only imagine how much more progress Daisy could have made if she had been able to finish the full program with Josh. Thank you, Josh, for everything you have done for Daisy and for our family. We will always be grateful that you were the person who helped us see just how much potential our Daisy had.

    About 3 months after rescuing Zuzu, a 4 y/o pit mix, she had suddenly changed from a slightly…read moreanxious but friendly dog to extremely anxious, highly dog reactive, and territorial of our home. We figured half of it was likely our fault and half was her "real personality" coming through after settling in. So we worked hard on implementing training, trying medication, and managing her environment. However, after a year of completely altering our lives to accommodate her, very little had changed. We loved her so much but felt like we were running out of options. We finally decided to take her in to Brandon after reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews involving dogs that had similar or worse issues than Zuzu's. Because of her complex situation regarding reactivity towards both dogs and certain people, the price of her consultation was quite high ($1800 ). But we figured if it meant we could get our sweet dog and our lives back, it would be more than worth it. After only 4 hours with Brandon and his "pack", we were able to watch Zuzu coexist with other dogs without any aggression and significantly reduced reactivity. She went from barking at Brandon whenever he spoke, to being comfortable and bonded with him. It was like a huge weight had been lifted off our shoulders. We spent the next few weeks implementing Brandon's teaching, while continuing to bring her in for daycare once or twice a week, and now we are finally able to walk Zuzu with significantly less stress or worry. A couple months later, we went on our first park visit in over a year and watched as Zuzu calmly observed multiple dogs walk past her. I even got a compliment today from another pittie owner on how well behaved she is!! Every week Zuzu returns to Brandon excited to see him and all her new friends :) I will be forever grateful to Brandon for helping us keep Zuzu happy and in our lives.

    I work with dogs professionally, running a dog pack hiking service, Colin's Pack, and I have worked…read morewith many aggressive dogs over the years. I met Brandon about 10 years ago when my own female dog, Layla, had become severely aggressive. Meeting Brandon for the first time was almost a spiritual experience - I felt like it was Luke Skywalker meeting Yoda, and he saw right through me, and explained that my dog's problem was coming from me. Seeing how Brandon worked with and got respect from dogs cracked open my mind to seeing a whole area of working with dogs that I hadn't even known to explore. His ways of indirectly dominating with personality, and other fairly indirect, but very powerful behaviors, changed the way I worked with dogs ever since. I tell almost every client about him if we get into a long discussion about my story. Long story short, he changed the way I work with dogs, which has allowed me to work with so many dogs I would not have been able to before, and he saved my girl's life and gave her her friends back, whom she had previously become aggressive toward. She passed away two days ago in my arms at the age of 17 years and two months, and so this review has even more significance to me. I'm surprised I hadn't already written one. Brandon is on another level, and will help you on the journey within yourself and on the journey of getting your dog's life back, if you're interested in going on the journey. It's well worth it. He's a legend, and the guide that I needed in my own journey. Colin
