The best behaved boy, thanks Zee!
Elizabeth T.

Kirby has been attending classes at PetSmart in Lakewood with Zee and recently graduated from the Advanced class (we took the Intermediate one with Zee as well). I can't type enough praise I have for her. She's such a talented pet trainer and is really in tune with every animal's body language and cues and will teach you to be just as in tune with your pet. She splits her time between every pet in the class perfectly, spending time on those who need extra help and giving extra work to those who's pets have got it down and can handle the extra challenge. We've been able to build on what we've learned in class at home and Kirby can now even turn off light switches and close doors on command! My only regret is not moving to Washington sooner so he could've had class with Zee for his puppy/beginner course. We just took in another dog (Sal) and immediately signed him up for Zee's next available beginner class to work on some behavioral concerns. Although we are in a group class, Zee had personalized homework for us to work on for his specific needs. Just from the first class, we've seen such an improvement in his confidence and obedience at home. The value of these group classes (I think $140 for 6 weeks of 1 hour classes) is unbeatable with such a great trainer.

- I took my dog to get groomed and got horrible service. The next day I received a message from a PetSmart employee wanting me to remove photos. Telling me there would be legal action taken against me. Her threats don't scare me, I've done nothing wrong but I thought she wasn't worth my time so I just deleted them that evening. Now today I just received a nastier message again, but she was cursing this time in her message. It the same person calling herself Friendly N. From Steilacoom. I'm not sure if it's Courtney whom worked on my dog or a different PetSmart employee from their grooming department, that is messaging me but this just shows me how unprofessional they are. I still would not ever consider taking my dog here nor would I ever recommend their dog grooming services. They gave horrible grooming services and now I'm seeing how disgusting and disrespectful their employees are.

Nail trim and grind. Bath and brush too. They work hard to schedule you with a groomer you know. They genuinely love dogs.

Pleasant enough. Prompt. Originally thought cuts looked better but really shocked within a week to see how bad the dogs looked.

We entered our 15 month old dogo argentino in the 8-week…read moretraining program due to him previously being a adopted from the humane society and struggling with issues of anxiety, recall, tantrums, and self-regulations. After just four weeks when we went to parent train his temperament was so much different and he was able to work through his anxiety when it came to seeing other dogs, and outside distractions, follow commands consistently, and walk on a leash properly alongside us without pulling or just walking aimlessly. It has created a whole new level of respect in our relationship with our pup where he trusts us Amani K-9 are truly legitimate trainers. We enrolled our 15-month-old Dogo Argentino in their 8-week training program after adopting him from the Humane Society. He had been struggling with anxiety, recall, tantrums, and self-regulation. After just four weeks, during our parent training session, we noticed a remarkable difference in his temperament. He was able to manage his anxiety around other dogs and outside distractions, follow commands consistently, and walk calmly on a leash beside us--no more pulling or wandering aimlessly. This program has completely transformed our relationship with our pup. He now trusts us more deeply because not only did he learn how to regulate himself, but we also learned how to help him do so. He stays in place on his mat without following us around or begging for food--it's like having a completely different dog! We're so glad we chose Amani K-9. We feel more confident and connected in our relationship with our dog because we better understand him, and he knows exactly what we expect of him.

We are grateful for the patience, expertise, and care that Niquolette showed our 4-year old lab…read more She helped him work through his leash reactivity and anxiety, and also taught us. The dog we walk now is well behaved and emotionally regulated (no more whining, barking, or pulling on the leash when he sees another dog!!). We tried other trainers before Amani K9 and some progress would be made only for our dog to regress. We love that now he's home, we can still contact her for advice and feedback. It was the best decision we made. Thank you Niquolette and Amani K9!

I adopted a rambunctious, cuddly, mostly GSD when he was 7 weeks old. As he grew, his reactivity…read moregrew.  I thought I could handle it, but I was wrong.  Finally, after a dreadful visit to the vet I, for the first time in my long life, I looked for a dog trainer.  I wanted someone who was not using aggression, hard control methods like shock collars, etc.  It is a very small pool of trainers that fit that bill. My two regrets are that 1 - I waited so long to find Julia, and 2 - that I did not start with her board and train.   Julia was great with once-a-week training, but I wasn't. Every time my dog went crazy I stopped. I gave up. So, I finally accepted that boarding him with Julia was my only hope. I am very tight with money because I don't have extra, but this was my only hope. When he came home after 2 weeks with Julia, my beautiful dog actually let me put his harness on. I mean he was calm and happy getting his harness on.  He got into the car with no fuss.  Wow!  He came home with his nails trimmed!  The vet wouldn't do his nails until he was totally sedated.  I mean not gabapentin but, Totally  Sedated.    Now, I take him for walks every day, happily!!!! Real walks. We are hoping with Julia's help to expand our horizons even more.  There is not a chance that I could possibly recommend Guiding Tails more Highly. Wish I'd found them sooner.

We have a large (100+ pounds) 2 year old rescue pup who is great at home, but struggles with…read moreoverarousal around new people and other dogs. After our local training place closed we were looking for other options and committed to positive reinforcement training. Unfortunately a lot of trainers use aversives, especially with large strong dogs. We were so excited to find Julia, and after our meet & greet we were confident she was a good choice. Julia did a 2 week board & train with our dog while we were traveling, mainly focusing on leash skills and practicing calm behavior around exciting things. We noticed an immediate improvement, but have also been continuing to work on the training at home after our follow up. I'm happy to report that we are continuing to see improvement using Julia's methods.

I'm giving this Petco location 2 stars solely because of the woman I spoke with on the phone prior…read moreto our appointment. I called ahead to ask whether Vetco Vaccination Clinic would honor services we had already purchased at a Vetco Total Care Hospital so we wouldn't be double-charged. Thankfully, they did honor it. The woman on the phone was incredibly patient, kind, and helpful - she is truly the only reason this location is getting any stars at all. Unfortunately, the actual appointment was a very different experience. My husband took our dog in, and he said the visit was unpleasant from start to finish. The nurse who administered our dog's vaccinations was rough and came across as aggressive and unkind. She slowly crept up on our dog, which felt intimidating rather than calming. After that, she made comments like "what's wrong with you," "chill," "relax," and "tantrum" when our dog was understandably uncomfortable. I may not be a professional, but creeping up on a dog doesn't seem like the best approach. She also attempted to weigh our dog and seemed confused, telling him to get on the scale even though she hadn't placed him fully on it in the first place. Overall, her demeanor felt mean and impatient, and it didn't seem like she enjoyed her job - or even liked dogs. At the end of the visit, my husband handed our dog's vaccination passport to another employee so the vaccination stickers could be added. That employee wasn't sure what to do with it or where the stickers should go. The nurse then snatched the passport out of his hands and added the stickers herself, which came off as rude and unprofessional. All in all, this was not a positive experience, and I would not recommend this Vetco location. We will not be returning for future services. Good luck to anyone who chooses to go here.

The type that traumatizes them. The whole idea of just "dropping them off" to pick up later might seem convenient yet I would never again trust leaving my animals with Banfeild.

Gina graciously helped us through my dog's reactive behaviors and taught me how to better understand him. My dog had Parvo as a puppy and unfortunately became very reactive towards people and other dogs afterwards. Gina is extremely knowledgeable and she was very kind and patient with me and my pup. She truly has a way with dogs and can tell you everything just from their body language. I have recommended her to friends and family, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality trainer in the area. I recently went out of town for 4 days and was so thankful to board my dog with Gina because I was confident he would be well taken care of which allowed me to enjoy my vacation.

Yes you are required to follow through with training. Her training has brought me to tears we can't believe the full life our boy gets to live. She absolutely puts everything into ensuring your dog succeeds.

Cara is such an intelligent trainer, she could read my dogs within five minutes of meeting them…read moreboth. I've had a few classes with her with both my dogs, as well as a class with each dog separately, and she does such a great job of working with me/them. One dog is new to us and just about a year old, he is so eager to learn and has done great picking up the "wait", "leave it", "drop it", and "stay" commands. My other dog is six and has been with me since she was a pup and Cara was able to pick up on her issues rather quickly. While she is rather attached to me and wants to always be by my side, Cara has been able to give me tips on how to slowly work with her on her fear responses and triggers. I'm also able to tell her things that happen at home and she can easily suggest changes for us to make in order to adjust the dog(s) responses. Highly recommend the personal training classes here, they have helped us/our dogs greatly!
