    Sasha (American Akita) after her grooming.
    Monica M.

    I just wanted to give a shout-out to Juliana for doing such a great job w/ my Sasha. The staff at Petsmart are always sweet and kind especially w/ my baby that's known for taking a in their kennels . Sasha always comes out happy and looking great. I can always count on them to take care of my baby like their own. I live in San Pedro and I'm always willing to drive over to here so my baby is well taken care of. Petsmart, please recognize the grooming salon for always being professional and having great customer skills.

    No matter how many people are working there is always just 1 person at the register. Takes forever.

    My search for food for Mr. Pickycat continues today. And baby, it's cold outside. No fun. Today was my first visit to this Petsmart. It's clean. Helpful employees. Big parking lot with multiple entrances/exits. Huge selection of dog & cat toys. They do carry Applaws brand cat food, but not the batch I was looking for. I noticed they hold cat adoptions & are looking for volunteers to help out. So, you can adopt a fur baby.....or you can have mine, free of charge. FYI, he meows & howls loudly during the night so don't plan on getting much sleep. And good luck feeding him - he likes the most expensive brands of food & when you stock up on his flavor of the month, he will stop eating it. He will try to sit on your computer keyboard because he wants your full attention, so you will need to Yelp when he's asleep. Did I mention he snores? Do not attempt to bring another animal into the house - he fights with any critter he sees, no matter how big. Assuming he's awake, do not try to go for a walk without him. He will destroy the house out of spite while you're gone. Weather permitting, he expects to be pushed around the neighborhood in his pet stroller, during which time he growls like a pit bull at all the passing dogs. Hang onto your hat if there's a squirrel sighting. He will block your view of the TV until you play a bird video. He does not like cat toys. You are his toy. Your undivided attention is required at all times. He drinks Mountain Valley water in glass bottles. No, he doesn't drink from the bottle. I mean....no tap water. He knows the difference. He screams like a banshee when riding in a car, so make sure you live no more than 10 minutes from your Vet. Do not ever let him outside except in his stroller. He does not sit in the driveway, sunbathing, like a normal cat. He will leap effortlessly over the tallest fences & run around like a wild child, terrorizing the neighbors. Covered cat box only or he will pee on the walls. Remember to comb him twice daily, after his tummy & foot massage. Catnip is a must. He eats it, good for digestion. Priscilla's organic, naturally field dried, fine grind, is preferred. He will pester you mercilessly until he gets it. Now perhaps you understand why I'm driving around South Bay in the freezing cold searching for the only food he will currently eat. There will be hell to pay if he goes on a hunger strike. So that's my fractious cat, formerly homeless & starving, years ago. I rescued him & now I need someone to rescue me. Oh crap he woke up from his nap. H E L P

    Grand Opening Day
    Alana M.

    I came here for the Grand Opening on Sept.13, 2014. We stood in line for about 45 minutes, hoping to be able to nab a free gift card. While waiting in the heat, I took the opportunity to take pictures, while my son & his girlfriend held my spot in line. One thing I found odd (perhaps it wasn't)... the employees were pouring the doggies water from water bottles into little bowls. That was a nice gesture, but how about the PEOPLE standing in the heat waiting to support your Grand Opening? So, the Mayor of Torrance & Pet Smart VIPs were there to officiate the Grand Opening. Patch, the PetSmart mascot was there and was available to take pictures with you. It really is a nice addition to the city! All the employees were so friendly, happy, and helpful. As it turned out, I did get a Gift Card, so it was worth waiting in the heat! Also, once we got inside, there were lots of giveaways, including doggie toys, frisbees, bandannas, a T-Shirt for the humans, & a Kong Tote Bag with treats & we used it to put our goodies in! We entered our names into the raffles. You had to return back to the store later in the day to win the Gift Card. So, we came back and held our breaths! Yep, I got lucky enough to win one!! Thank you for a grand day, PetSmart!!

    Being someone who used to work in the pet industry i always look for a place with great customer service, ive found that here. Most times I've been in I've been helped by a lady, Wanda. She's always very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and attentive to.my needs. My dogs both have allergies beyond belief and i was feeding them Zignature but it was breaking the bank. I went here after researching some less expensive foods and found Good Natured Adult Dog Food - Grain Free, Natural, Salmon & Peas. I did some homework on it, found it to be a good quality food. Both my dogs can eat salmon and it's grain free, and 10.99 for 6 lbs is quite affordable. I've had them.on his fid for 2 months, they are doing great. The eat it dry as well. I think I've found my new food. Thanks to the entire staff at this Petsmart for being so attentive and friendly and to Wanda for being so welcoming whenever I come in

    Before drop off

    Thought I'd give grooming a chance aside from all the bad reviews , boy was I wrong . Paid $50 for a bath & brush which included nail trim. Pick my dog up and notice her nails were not touched. Called & was told they didn't cut her nails cause her veins were too long. Okay why wasn't I told this upon pick up ? Then they say they can cut her nails but I will be charged again after already paying $50 for a service that included nail trim. Pathetic ass b1tches & sorry ass service.

    Free bag!

Her calm, knowledgeable approach makes the training easy to understand and practical to apply in our daily routine. We've already seen great progress with both dogs, and Justine does a great job explaining the "why" behind the training so we can stay consistent between sessions. She's reliable, encouraging, and clearly cares about helping both the dogs and their owners succeed. I highly recommend Justine and the Bark Busters program to anyone looking for thoughtful, effective in-home training.

During that visit, Justine explained the Gold Lifetime program ($1,895) and said she would come to my home about every 2-3 weeks for continued training. Based on that explanation, I decided to purchase the program. However, the first session under the program lasted only about 30 minutes. When I asked about the next visit, Justine said future sessions would be done through FaceTime instead of in-home training. During the initial lesson, I clearly explained that Happy does not pull on the leash. Despite this, Justine brought a metal collar designed to prevent pulling and tried to put it on Happy, which was confusing and disappointing. I also explained that because Happy is a small dog, I wanted to learn proper heel training so he could walk safely beside me. Instead, Justine said it was fine for him to walk behind me. I do not feel this is safe for a small dog, as he could easily pick something up from the ground or encounter larger dogs from behind. As a result, I paid $1,895 but received only one 30-minute in-person session. My request for a partial refund or reassignment to another trainer was denied. I am sharing this experience so that other customers can fully understand the training approach and contract terms before committing. Clarification: The three-hour visit mentioned by the trainer, Justine, refers to the separate $300 initial lesson, which I paid for in advance and which actually lasted about 2.5 hours. The first session under the $1,895 Gold Lifetime program lasted about 30 minutes. Update: The owner responded claiming I "refused to book lessons." Attached are text screenshots proving the opposite. When I requested in-person visits every 2 weeks, the trainer replied: "I don't work that way" and offered only FaceTime instead. I did not refuse -- the trainer refused to provide the service I paid for.

    We started working with Brian last year after a really scary situation--our dog bit our 12 month…read moreold daughter, and we were honestly desperate for help. Like any parent and dog owner, we were heartbroken and overwhelmed, not knowing how to move forward safely. After reading so many incredible reviews about Brian across different forums, we decided to reach out--and I'm so grateful we did. Brian helped us understand Hudson (our dog) on a completely different level. He took the time to explain the fears and anxiety driving Hudson's behavior and gave us practical tools to help him feel more secure and confident. Instead of just addressing the behavior itself, Brian helped us see what Hudson was experiencing and how to support him in a way that actually works. Over time, we've seen such meaningful progress. Most importantly, I now feel so much more comfortable and confident with my daughter interacting with Hudson. That peace of mind is something I truly can't put into words. If you're dealing with a challenging or scary situation with your dog, I can't recommend Brian highly enough. His knowledge, patience, and ability to help both dogs and owners understand each other is truly remarkable. We're incredibly grateful we found him.

He is deeply knowledgeable, his approach is thoughtful, and he truly speaks dog. Brian has worked with an incredible range of dogs and behavior challenges, and it shows. No matter the question or concern, he always had clear, grounded guidance that made sense and actually helped. Brian came highly recommended by our trusted vet, and finding him changed everything for our family. When our Miko turned 8 months old last summer, she suddenly began attacking her brother Rufus with no provocation (no food, toys, or attention) and developed territorial behaviors at home. Up until that point, they were best friends, with Rufus patiently playing with her and teaching her dog manners. It was terrifying and heartbreaking, and at our lowest point, we even had to confront the possibility of re-homing Miko after losing our other dog, Luna, suddenly during her spay surgery last year. Since then, my husband and I have been training and exercising them religiously, spending 3-5 hours a day between the two of us, and Brian was there every step of the way. He was endlessly encouraging and validating, especially on the hard days, helping us stay grounded and hopeful when things felt overwhelming. What truly sets Brian apart is how much he genuinely cares and his extensive experience with dog training. He has always been incredibly generous with his time, offering phone consultations during training and even long after sessions ended. You never feel rushed, judged, or dismissed, just fully supported. We're beyond grateful to say that Miko has now reached 6 months with zero aggression, and the two of my dogs play together again both inside and outside of our home. If you're struggling, losing hope, or just want someone who truly understands dogs in your corner, Brian is the real deal.

It was scary and stressful. Tim helped us realize that training is not just about the dog. It is about teaching the owners how to create healthy boundaries, provide structure, and respond appropriately to each situation. That perspective alone made a huge difference. Since implementing what Tim taught us, Rocko is calmer, more respectful of boundaries, and much better around our toddler. We now feel far more confident and comfortable with the two of them being around each other. Tim did not just help train our dog. He helped us become better and more confident dog parents.

He broke everything down in a way that was easy to understand, empowering, and encouraging, and gave me real, practical tools to help Bean become a better listener and walker. With continued exposure, Bean has made tremendous progress, far beyond what I expected at this stage, and it's all thanks to Tim's guidance and expertise. Tim's calm energy, deep understanding of dog behavior, and genuine love for animals make him truly stand out. Bean is happier, more confident, and better behaved, and I feel so much more confident as a dog owner. Thank you Tim!!

They built a structured routine for our puppy which set the perfect foundation for good habits and positive behavior. Our puppy learned many things from commands such as sit, stay, proper walking, come here, lay down, place, house. I think the most important thing built though was the potty training and the socialization provided. Puppies NEED early socialization to develop into confident and friendly dogs. We have happy to see our puppy grow (and still growing) into a friendly, brave "teenager" puppy. Friendly play style! A Doberman is a high energy and demanding dog breed. Normally I would train our puppy fully on my own as I did with prior Dobermans I had in the past, but due to demanding work hours and obligations, I am so grateful for the opportunity The Puppy Academy provided during these critical socialization and learning periods. They train and interact with the puppy all day until I pick him up after work. Then I can continue with following their training methods throughout our time at home and on the weekends. It made it so easy! I wish I had the Puppy Academy all along for my prior dogs too. I'm impressed with the friendly staff and how well they did with our puppy! Even though our puppy has completed the program and graduated, we have still seen ease with the teenager/adolescent phase and training on our own again because of all the Puppy Academy set up for us.
