    Kiwi with her Groomer Lisa
    Sherril S.

    Kiwi's first time at Petsmart for grooming. She was managed by Lisa who took such great care of her. Right from the start, Lisa was friendly, answered questions without judgment and just overall really sweet. Kiwi didn't hesitate to wiggle herself into her arms and Lisa welcomed her with open arms. The service took about 1.5 hours and we were notified with an actual call when Kiwi was ready. She came running to us with no sense of worry or fear so we knew right of the bat that she was nicely taken care off. Kiwi received a bath, ears and teeth cleaning, nail cut and flea shampoo/treatment. Her new outfit was on sale. Everything came out to $78.00 Thank you Lisa for all your help

    Great visit to Petsmart! Looking for something for my puppy to chew on: long lasting, made in USA and to deter from eating my shoes. Water Buffalo Horn from Arizona. Thank you Karen Puma for the excellent customer service and for a treat for the Frenchies, Lenny and Maddie. Wish us luck with the horn for Jack. So far he's busy.

    Area where hair was pulled out.

    Do not go here!!! I've had several haircuts for my Pomeranian done here some good and some bad. I found a groomer that was doing a good job and stuck with her. She eventually left and I brought my dog in for an appointment with her and was informed she left and they scheduled me with a new groomer. I spoke to the new groomer and she assured me that they had notes on how to care for my dog and she was an experienced groomer with Pomeranians. I came to pick her up and they had shaved her. I was so upset because you don't shave a dog with hair like this. I complained, spoke to the manager, got comped a grooming and booked an appointment with an experienced groomer named Katie. Katie informed me that my dog was in coat shock and she would do her best to clean her up. My Pom actually looked very nice afterwards. We saw Katie again and had a fairly good haircut. I went in yesterday to have Katie groom my Pom and was informed that Katie wasn't there and I would be seeing Abi. I was very nervous and showed Abi photos of my Pom and let her know that my Pom had a hotspot on her back leg that was almost healed (just a little pink left over) but had been to the vet a week ago for vaccines, heartworm and got a clean bill of health. I leave my Pom with her and get a phone call 4 hours later from Abi that she is still working on Fiona and will call me in a 1/2 hour. I get a call and go down to pick up my Pom. Abi brings out my dog and says to me "You're not going to be happy about this, but it's not my fault." My dog had essentially been brushed bald and has thin layers of hair almost all over her body. Abi proceeds to tell me that she is required to do 30 minutes of brushing and my Pom's hair just came out. I was shocked. She starts telling me about coat shock and some other blah, blah...I couldn't believe that she continued to brush my dog with her hair falling out and then gave her a terrible cut on top of that. I stormed out and asked to speak to the manager. I got the assistant manager who told me she was already aware of what happened to my Pom. Abi had informed her that the hair loss was due to coat shock and my dog had hot spots. The assistant manager was kind, offered to have my dog reshaped by another groomer (No way you're touching my dog), seen by a staff veterinarian (again no way) and offered to refund my money. I took the refund and will be taking my dog to our vet because her skin is still pink and irritated today. She is traumatized and I feel awful for subjecting her to such a cruel day that someone pulled a good portion of her hair out. Take my advice. Pay the extra money. These people an inexperienced and do no care about your dog.

    I like to come to PetSmart shopping for Latte and Butters. They have a lot of things the furry boys are wanted. I like to check out their fish and other animals in the store whenever I'm there. PetSmart seems to take care of them very well. They're ready to go to your home to become part of your family. The store is spotless even lots of dogs come with their family to the store. The items are displayed in the store very well--a good layout with all the sections easy to navigate. I can find the stuff I'm looking for very quickly. The employees at the check-out counters are happy and friendly to the customers and their furry babies. I can tell they love the animals themselves. The parking lot is safe, and very easy to get a parking space in front of the store.

    Was roaming around Elk Grove looking for the best place for setting up an aquarium and I think PetSmart is the best choice! They have such a wide selection of fish and aquatic plants. Plus, they have all other necessary aquarium accessories. After checking other stores, it seems they have very competitive prices! Staff is very helpful with recommendations and checking their stock for things not in display. Overall had a great experience shopping here.

    Leaving a bad review is not something I enjoy, typically I have to bite my tongue from doing so. However, I'm writing this negative review to share my experience and hope that it helps others to be careful and also avoid their beloved pets from being injured. When visiting family in Elk Grove, we decided to bring our family dog for a much needed groom session (with Covid-19 happening, our options for a small business groomer was very limited and pretty much not available) we opted for PetSmart, since it wasn't taking off too much hair, we just wanted her cleaned up - it shouldn't be too bad we thought. WRONG. When we picked up our dog, we didn't noticed it until we got home, right there, below her ear was a nasty, razor burn looking rash. We were immediately heart broken. We couldn't believe it. So many questions were raised, how come they didn't call us about this? Did they not see it? Was she in pain? We felt so bad for her and somewhat blamed ourselves for it happening. The next day we called and brought it up to the store manager, the groomer who cut our dog's hair was named, Katey B. And of course, as we expected, they 'didn't see anything' and said they would investigate further. That also was another disappointment with nothing found and no real apology. We were not offered a refund, but they offered us to have her looked at with Banfield. That was definitely the salt on the wound, for a huge corporation to deny and not accept any responsibility. Our dog arrived for a haircut just fine, but after what happened she is now traumatized and probably experiencing some sort of PTSD - she shivers and shakes whenever she sees a leash now. If you care about your pet(s) think twice before booking a groom session here!

He took the time to explain not only what to do but why it works, which helped us feel much more confident continuing the training at home. We've already seen a huge improvement in Jax's behavior after Anthony's 3 week board and training program. He now heels and walks right next to us instead of constantly tugging on the leash, which has made walks so much more enjoyable. He's also much calmer, listens so much better, and is overall becoming a well behaved puppy. It's clear Anthony genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and wants both the puppy and the owner to succeed. We truly appreciate Anthony's help!

As a first-time puppy owner, I wasn't sure what to expect or if puppies just naturally outgrow certain behavioral issues. Either way, this is the only formal training she has ever had, and the results speak for themselves. She came back so incredibly well-behaved. And has reminded well behaved. When we go out in public, people always come up to see her because she's cute, but what they *constantly* comment on is how exceptionally well-behaved she is for an 8-month-old puppy. It is so validating to hear that from strangers! I love and fully agree with Anthony's methods and what he does here. If you want a well-behaved dog, Powerhouse K9 is the only place to go. Highly recommend! Full disclosure: I have a pure poodle and they are known to be smart. I brought her to PowerHouseK9 initially at 4.5 months, only weeks after adopting her so my reviews are specific to this. I cannot speak to any other situation or dog breed.

This is not only a benefit to pet owners but to their pocket book as well. He could just as easily charge for introductory classes. Instead he has a great system of a group class. Explains a lot in that class. This makes it cost effective and can help you determine if you and your pet are ready to commit. We have since taken a private lesson. The wealth of knowledge he has is impressive. He met us at a dog park and gave us plenty of things to work on. Remember he is a real trainer. That means he is training YOU to work with your pet. Not your pet to work with him. Our dog couldn't walk in a dog park without going crazy. Being a bit of an alpha and posturing. Now, he has been a great pup at the parks.

    I often approach google reviews with a healthy dose of skepticism, but after researching Jaimie's…read moreapproach to training, and gaining a cursory understanding of his training philosophy, I knew I had found the trainer I was looking for, and took a leap of faith. All I can say is: wow! My dog has never been happier and more well-behaved. Ironically, his approach, really, is about training you, the owner, to cultivate the behavior you want to see in your dog. He trains owners to address the root cause of behaviors, which leads to broad, systemic changes through energy-management and LOTS of positive reinforcement. Before finding Jaimie, I was worried I'd have to give my dog up to a sanctuary if I ever lived with another person who owned a dog because my dog's behavior was out of control. I no longer have that fear after training with Jaimie. He is truly a master of his craft, and I have full confidence his training techniques can work on any dog after seeing my dog's behavior transform. I have a 10 year old Shih Tzu that I adopted from the pound at 5 years old. She was constantly getting into trouble: jumping on furniture, marking in the house, pulling trash from trash cans, aggressive with kids and other dogs. I believed the folk wisdom that "you can't teach an old dog new tricks," and Jaimie shattered that myth within the first training session. Jaimie's approach is really quite simple, if you think about it: if you manage your dog's energy, and you set boundaries for your dog, you can create a completely new routine that your dog will adopt through your consistent, clear communication and praising good behavior. Over time, through consistency, you fall into a new routine, one where your dog listens and understands the expectations you've set, and it feels natural. Since beginning training, my Shih Tzu has stopped marking inside the house and outside during walks, stopped begging for food and stealing food from the toddler in my house, pulling trash from the trash cans, stopped barking at every little noise in the house, listens to my commands while walking on a leash, and no longer jumps on furniture. Additionally, she is generally happier, and more affectionate with every human she meets. Next, I'm planning to work with Jaimie on addressing my dog's anxiety with other dogs. All of the work the work you put into training really pays off, and I have full confidence that his techniques and attention to detail will help me guide my dog finally begin to trust other dogs. Trust the process, be patient with yourself and with your dog, remain consistent, and cultivate the behavior you want to see.

Instead of leaving us to figure it out on our own, Bill continued to offer guidance, answer questions, and provide additional support until we were back on track again.

As a result of the confidence and skills we gained through working with Bill, my daughter decided to enter her dog in a 4-H Dog Show. We were thrilled when she placed in the competition! It was a wonderful experience and a testament to the progress both our dog and our family have made. We are extremely grateful for Bill's continued encouragement and dedication. Knowing that he is there to help when challenges arise has made all the difference.

However, I realized almost immediately that she had some serious behavioral issues--specifically intense leash aggression and barking--that I simply wasn't equipped to handle alone. After researching local options, I gave Bill at Sierra K9 a call. It was clear right away that he has a genuine passion for what he does. He took the time to listen to my specific goals: I needed Sky to truly become part of my "pack" and be well-behaved enough to join me at breweries, and events. Bill outlined his methods and experience in great detail, and we sat down to map out exactly what it would take to get her there. I opted for the two-week intensive Board-and-Train program. Bill made it clear that the training wouldn't end when I picked her up; he committed to meeting with me for as long as it took for me to feel confident. Throughout those two weeks, Bill and his wife, Shelby, sent regular progress reports, photos, and videos. Seeing her thrive gave me so much peace of mind--it was obvious she was making strides and was incredibly well cared for. On pickup day, Bill and I had a thorough hand-off session. While I was impressed with Sky's progress, Bill was honest with me: the foundation was there, but the real work was just beginning for both of us. When we got back home, I'll admit I struggled. The leash reactivity and pulling returned, and I felt completely hopeless. But Bill and Shelby didn't leave me hanging. They checked in daily, "talked me off the ledge" more than once, and quickly scheduled an in-person session at my house. When Bill arrived, he could tell I was frustrated. He calmly reminded me of the process and took Sky's leash; she immediately "snapped back into shape"--no pulling, no barking, just focus. He carefully observed my handling, gave me manageable homework, and, most importantly, helped me reframe my mindset. He taught me that training isn't a chore; it's an exercise in patience and a form of therapy for both the owner and the dog. Fast forward one month: I've been working with Sky every day and meeting with Bill weekly (and he is always perfectly on time). The transformation is night and day. While she's still a little better on the leash with him than with me (haha!), she is truly a different dog. I know now that with time and Bill's continued guidance, Sky is going to fit in perfectly. I'm actually enjoying the work, we celebrate the wins together, and I am sincerely grateful to the Sierra K9 team.
