    I have always loved going to this PetSmart and today confirmed it again. We had the best experience. Hanna took time to answer any and every question we had about our new "baby." She gave us great advice and helped us get what we needed for our chameleon. Hanna is awesome and so patient.

    0 out of 5- it forces you to add a star. I'll start with- my husband & I, & 2 dogs just moved here. Having my dog injured by an incompetent, rude human wasn't how I wanted to end my day. I made appointments for both dogs. I called ahead to ask if it was OK to be 15mins late. I asked if I needed to reschedule, as our movers were running late. I was told it was fine, & to still bring them both. I apologized profusely when I arrived, & asked again if I needed to reschedule if there wasn't time. I was told again that it wasn't a problem. I was then asked for rabies vaccination proof. 1 dog is a rescue from Texas & had her normal vet ppwk, the other is a rescue dog from overseas. They accepted the Texas vet ppwk, but she refused my ppwk for my overseas dog that has been cleared by the Center for Disease Control. The official document I showed is titled "CDC Rabies Vaccination Record." However, because they labeled the vaccine "Defensor 3" with lot # (a CDC recommended rabies vaccine, source: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00040802.htm), instead of calling it plain ole "rabies" (because that's real specific)- she was refused. I'm not sure how a groomer is a higher authority on vaccinations in comparison to the CDC. & let me be clear- the groomer was not kind about it, & the snark was real. I reluctantly went ahead & left my 1 dog for grooming, only to get a call an hour later to "make sure I was on my way to pick her up." I walked into the grooming area & the groomer was crying (theatrically unnecessary). She had 1/2 shaved my dog & had cut into one of her nipples with the clippers. They said "she's bleeding, so let us know if you want to take her to the vet & we can cover it." The manager was awful as well. It would have been fine, but NO ONE apologized... not even the incompetent groomer. The manager said no one else was available to finish the job. So I was left with a 1/2 shaven dog, bleeding from her nipple. DO NOT recommend Kasey the groomer or management - negative 10/10.

    I took my 5 year old, female, golden retriever in for a bath to the Petsmart in Woodbridge, VA. The second I walked in the door, I could tell this was going to be a terrible experience. Right off the bat, the manager had a huge attitude. Without even looking at my dog she told me they probably wouldn't have time to bathe her as she would probably have mats and she would need to be assigned to a groomer. She said that If she had any mats at all, I would have to pay $20 extra to have them brushed out All this without even looking at her. I said that was fine, if she did have mats I would pay the extra $20. I also told them that she was very, very afraid of the dryers and she would need to be air dried. She gets groomed at the Petsmart in Alexandria once a month and this has never, ever been a problem. After 4 hours had passed with no phone call, I called to see if she was done. The manager starts going off on me about how extremely aggressive my dog is when being dried with the hand blow drier. I had explained to them when I dropped her off that they should NOT use the hand dryers as she is TERRIFIED of them. They did it anyway and then got mad when she got upset. Also, they butchered the backs of her legs, shaving away random bits of hair down to the skin. It seriously looks like she was attacked by a kindergartener with pinking shears. I have never seen anything like it. I paid the bill that was sent electronically to me for $51. Two hours later the manager calls me to tell me off for not paying the extra $20 for the de-matting (which is a joke as there was zero attempt to brush the mats out, they just took three seconds to shave her legs down to the skin in random places). I explained to her that I paid the bill that was sent to me. She then told me she was making a note in my file not to serve us again until I paid the $20. No problem, I won't be going back there EVER!!!!!

    Our family highly recommends Controlled K9! We adopted our boy Mortimer last year after he had been…read moreliving as a stray, and we were really struggling when he came home with basic manners, reactivity, and having him settle in with our other dog. We ended up sending both of our boys for a six-week board and train with Kelia. It seemed to only make sense to send both dogs so they would have the same baseline training. Kelia was amazing! She kept us informed just about every day with videos and texts so we could see that the boys were happy and making progress. When Kelia brought the boys home, she spent a few hours with us, showing all the commands and techniques that she taught them, so we had a seamless transition. The "place" command alone has been lifechanging. (Although as you can see in the picture, they sometimes refuse to use separate mats, LOL.) We use the command before we feed them, initially when guests come by, and when we just need them to settle down a bit. It has reduced the stress and chaos in our house tenfold, and we actually can see the boys relax when they know they have a place to go and chill out. Kelia also gave us the tools to make leash walking and general obedience so much more successful. There are a lot of options out there for training. What set Controlled K9 apart for us was (1) our boys lived with Kelia, her family, and her dogs during training - they were not staying in a kennel and were in a real-life, loving environment, and (2) the promise of lifetime, free follow-up support. The boys have been home now for about 3 months. The training has stuck, and we feel like we really have the tools we need to make life pleasant for all of us, including the boys. Kelia has also proactively checked in to make sure things are going well, provided tips on the best way to reinforce training, and has responded quickly when we have follow-up questions, including offering a visit. Over three months later, we are still completely satisfied with the training and support provided by Controlled K9 and Kelia, and we would use them again in a heartbeat.

Since he's worked with her over the five-week training period, he's made a complete 180. Now we're able to walk around the city and not have him bark at every dog we see on the street. I want to point out that because my dog is innately anxious, it affects his physical state too with eating and other issues. Kelia shared that she used to be a vet tech and made me feel the most comfortable and confident with helping me set up a plan for when he might have an episode due to the transition and what all would take place to ensure he would be okay, loved, and healthy. Long story short, she cared for him for the days he was struggling, kept me updated, and he came out of it because she was purposeful, knowledgeable, and more than capable to handle the situation. I can't recommend Kelia enough for anyone seeking support and/or confidence in how they can better work with, love, and respect their dog. Bonus, she's genuinely such a joy of a human being!

I wish I had done this sooner- it would have saved me from a lot of stress and aggravation. Communication with Brandi was awesome.

Pebbles (blue heeler, 1.5 years old) would never listen to me, would not sit or lay still, and had a lot of other obedience issues that caused her to be stressed or confused. She was a TOUGH dog to train and I was concerned I couldn't find the solution for her to get basic concepts. This view has completely changed since working with RSK9's 3 week program. I would HIGHLY recommend them and their methods - you can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and it's made a huge difference in giving my dog the chance to find real rest at home. They send DAILY updates with photos and videos which was so nice. This isn't a regular class or something you just pay for; it's truly an investment that you and your dog will be using for the time you get to share together. Side note: it's worth doing 3 weeks versus 2 weeks. At the 2 week mark is when Pebbles really started to understand her marks and cues. From here there is so much more that can be refined and Brandi/Perry really capitalize on that threshold being crossed!

Prior to signing up with All About Dogs, they took a ton of time answering my questions and allowing me to observe a class and talk with their trainers to make sure the class would be an appropriate fit for him. Most reactive dog classes would disqualify him because he is reactive to strangers, and that human reactivity is something we have found many trainers will not work with. I was, and remain, impressed by their thorough and honest assessments of each dog as an individual, their ability to see the potential in their students, and their celebration of every milestone reached along the way. Pam and Colleen also have worked with us individually to do a behavior assessment with my dog and determine his needs within and outside the classroom setting. We received an 8 page document from that assessment, full of straightforward and thoughtful insights, tips, and continued management strategies. The trainers are kind, compassionate, and never push my dog farther than he can go for the sake of seeing progress or immediate results, which has been critical to genuinely helping him get better. We consulted with several other trainers and did a few private sessions with others before finding All About Dogs, and my only wish is that I had found them sooner. My hope is that we will be able to continue making progress and eventually "graduate" from Rowdy Rovers to their Levels Training, and I do feel confident that with time and continued work, we will be able to. Dog Training is an unregulated field, and anyone can call themselves a trainer. The difference with All About Dogs is they have years and years of science based education and certifications to support their passion for helping dogs and their people. Both Pam and Colleen hold CPDT-KA certifications and all their methods are positive and force free. I am so grateful to have found them and look forward to continuing learning with them. Another interesting note is that both Pam and Colleen are regular presenters at the annual APDT (Association for Pet Dog Trainers) conference, a testament to their knowledge and experience in the field of dog training!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! When we were first shopping around for a doggy daycare, I assumed all daycares…read morewere created equally but I was VERY wrong. Most larger daycares fill a room to capacity and provide a couple attendants to make sure no fights breakout, there's no real interaction with the dogs. The Backyard Pack (BYP) engages with your dogs and loves them as one of their own. They create a safe, clean and healthy environment where dogs can thrive and have fun. And unlike the larger daycares we tried, the staff at BYP takes the pups out for potty breaks rather than letting them go in the room where the dogs are playing. I HIGHLY recommend the BYP if you're looking for doggy daycare or boarding, your pup will thank you!

After checking out a few trainers, I got together with Brian at the Backyard Pack for some leash training for my dog. They (Brian and Laurie) worked with him a bit while he was being boarded, then met with me to teach me how to work with him. Duke pulls a lot on leash, and barks furiously at distractions (other dogs, runners, bikers, squirrels...) For an extremely reasonable price, they came to my house for a session. They brought another dominant dog who they were training, so the dogs could be walked together. They walked us right up to distractions, and showed me how to handle his panic both before he reacts, and after, if he does react. I feel like I finally have the tools I need. Duke's improved a lot. He's still a work in progress, but we have way more good walks than bad ones now. They sent me a list of tips, followed up with me, and are available for me to ask follow up questions via e-mail. I'm happy because they've helped me to control his behavior, not just distract him with food.
