    Few days after cocos grooming appt

    GROOMING REVIEW: While living in San Diego for the past year, I've been visiting different petsmart grooming locations, to find one that my dog LOVES. She's a very anxious dog and gets so scared being at the groomers. Yesterday I finally checked out the pacific beach location since they had the best availability that fit my current schedule... but I will 1000% make sure to continue going to this location, exclusively. I booked with Jayna but I have to admit all of the staff was eager and BEYOND helpful. Since my dog is a nervous wreck, they did mention that her session would take a little longer than most because they don't want to stress her out and let her get comfortable, which was so so reassuring to hear. It's hard to explain but i truly felt like they cared for her and all of the other dogs in the salon, like their own. My boyfriend came with me to grab our dog, and even he mentioned how loving and patient they were with the dogs. At the previous locations we've visited over the year, we always have great customer service and communication, but this location really had LOVE in their work.

    PetsMart has always been the best grooming. They train their groomers to a high standard. I go to this one and in Texas. I have spent too much on private groomers and they never take the time and tenderness that PetsMart does.

    Grooming review! Long time coming. I've gone to Petsmart for about a year. They really listen to my want and needs for the cut and they do a great job! Isabella did so good highly recommend. They will take the extra 20-30 mins ($$) to dematt and brush as well. I've had groomers in the past who just shave their entire body instead of taking the time to get the matts out. I really appreciate it!

    This review is for grooming. Do I really need to say more here? I brought in a tiny matted polar bear and left with an elated spunky lamb. And this dog is a 16 yr old adoptee just tryin to catch a break. And it was July 4th when they groomed her which frankly seems like a lot to ask to have one animal transformed into another in like two hours on a holiday when everybody would prefer BBQing. So grateful. Great job ladies!!! Ya nailed it!

    My dog and I love coming to this PetSmart, and we both love love love the grooming salon! Today was our first appointment at the salon. Our stylist Courtney walked up us while we were outside and immediately started to get to know my dog. My dog is an obscure breed (Coton de Tulear) and Courtney was familiar with them. They have a particular kind of hair that is difficult to manage. Courtney knew immediately how to treat it and how to trim it. When I came back a few hours later my dog was beautifully coiffed and so happy. Courtney told me how everything went and I was a happy and satisfied customer. This salon has great hours and is located in a convenient location. I love how I can drop my dog off at the salon and do my pet shopping at the same time. The workers are nice and caring and they absolutely love animals. I don't think I could find a more caring or attentive groomer if I tried. I will definitely come back.

    This review is long overdue! I've been taking my miniature schnauzer to this grooming site for the past few years. Courtney B is the best at grooming schnauzers! I've struggled finding a good groomer who can handle my dog and cut his hair correctly to the specific schnauzer cut. I'm very particular about his hair style and Courtney gets it right every single time. If you have a schnauzer, take them to Courtney B!

    Absolutely mortified by the haircut they gave my dog. I give them 2 stars because her chin was matted. But I could have done a better job myself at cutting them out and her not looking like a completely different dog! Will never go back here. I would have called me before doing this. At least even her body out a little bit. Do not try to save money by going here. Find a real groomer.

    "do you want to see nick?!" She was doing her excitement whine and her little happy dance - nick in grooming is THE BEST!

    See all

    Bark Busters came to us highly recommended. After some research and reviewing Ted Talk and…read morearticles, I signed up our two rescue mix breed ~20lb boys. We are grateful to James of BB who placed us with Jenna. Our boys issues: high reactivity outside, especially other dogs, and inside, door bell, ring cameras, etc. Coupled with greetings by jumping and owning the house. Jenna set us on a path of activities for inside and was incredibly patient letting me share and ask questions, learning constantly. As we fine-tuned and we all got more comfortable we moved our training to outside. The methodology used is absolutely amazing and, I dare say, short of a miracle. We practice regularly and introduce the boys to different circumstances. All that food luring and positive food reinforcement training certainly has its place but only the techniques of BB with Jenna has helped our boys become trusting, comfortable, and happy. Here I thought I had to scan the horizon constantly to be aware of incoming dogs to prepare myself to hide behind a car or go in the corner behind garbage cans to get maximum distance. Not true. I walk no longer with my head on a lazy susan. We all are forever grateful. Our boys can lead richer more social lives. Thank you!!!

As first-time dog owners, the early support really did help us. Having someone we could call during those overwhelming first months was a relief. Over time, though, I realized I was hoping the training would shift toward more positive reinforcement. The constant, harsher corrections worked at first but eventually didn't seem effective anymore and started affecting my relationship with Mimi. I noticed this during a family trip where Mimi, who is usually fearful of strangers, bonded more easily with my husband and his family. She gravitated toward them when scared, and I realized it might be because they weren't following the correction-heavy approach, while I was. I also asked for help with Mimi's fear and reactivity toward other dogs, but was told they didn't have dogs available for training and that I would need to bring a calm, socialized dog myself. As a non-trainer, that was very hard, but we tried by traveling many hours to introduce her to my husband's family dog. The experience ended up being chaotic since the family didn't fully understand what the process required, and new people and dogs kept appearing even though Mimi wasn't ready. Her reactivity came back in that environment, which made me feel like the training had only put a bandaid on deeper fear issues. Maybe I should have clarified expectations better from the start, but with a high-need dog and being new to all of this, I didn't know what to expect. Since then, we've switched to a positive reinforcement trainer who organizes structured group activities. Mimi is still scared of bigger dogs and can still be reactive, but she's improving slowly and has been able to meet a few smaller dogs. She's also still fearful of people, but she nips a lot less now, so progress is happening. Overall, Bark Busters helped us in the beginning, but long-term we found that a different, more positive approach has been a better fit for Mimi.

I'll be totally honest: as a first-time dog owner to an Australian Shepherd, I was feeling a little underwater.

This was the very first time we left our 1-year-old dog with someone. He's almost 80 pounds of pure energy, a big, happy, very enthusiastic boy so choosing the right person felt incredibly important. I was anxious and very cautious about who we could trust. From day one, Sara exceeded every expectation. She didn't just "watch" our dog -- she worked with him every single day with so much passion, patience, and love. When he came home after two weeks, the difference was remarkable. He was calmer, more focused, and able to control his excitement much better. Walking him used to be a struggle -- he pulled constantly and tried to grab everything he saw on the street. Now, our walks are so much easier and more enjoyable. Of course, there's no magic in dog training -- consistency is key, and we continue to reinforce what he learned -- but his biggest issue, jumping on people, improved dramatically. The foundation she built made such a difference. What also gave us tremendous peace of mind was her communication. Sara sent frequent updates, photos, and videos showing us what he was learning and how he was doing. On top of that, we received detailed daily emails about his overall condition. It made us feel completely reassured that we had chosen the right person. She even gave him several baths during his stay! Her place is incredible , very secure, spacious, and extremely dog-friendly. It honestly felt like a big farm where dogs can feel free yet safe. Sara is truly passionate, caring, and loving. Her knowledge of different breeds and her training methods are impressive and effective. You can clearly see that she genuinely loves what she does. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any dog owner, no matter the age or breed. Leaving your dog with someone for the first time is never easy, but with Sara, you can feel confident your dog is in the best possible hands.
