I hardly ever leave reviews, but I want to give hope to anyone who is struggling with their dog and…read morefeeling frustrated and helpless. The first year with my golden retriever, Luka, was extremely hard. He was a mouthy dog who had zero boundaries at home or outside. He would get excited or frustrated and grab/bite onto my shoes or clothes daily. Walking him became an impossible task because he was extremely dog-reactive, and he dragged me a couple of times while trying to chase another dog. Walking him also became a two-person job, with someone always on the lookout for other dogs so we could turn the other way. He also began to resource guard and snapped at my dad twice.. I had already spent thousands on another trainer and didn't have much success. I began to feel like this was just what life with Luka would be like forever. It got to the point where I felt scared of him, and the life I was giving him out of that fear wasn't fair to him. So I decided to try and get help one last time. I found Lori's page and after reading the reviews I became hopeful again. I took Luka in for an evaluation, and Lori recommended their board-and-train program. I can't thank Chelsea and Lori enough for everything they've done. I've learned so much about Luka, how to manage different situations, and how to better understand his behavior. We had training lessons throughout his board-and-train stay and afterward, because we are the ones who need most of the training! Chelsea did an amazing job with Luka. At home, Luka is unrecognizable in the best way. We can actually go on adventures outside without being terrified that we won't be able to handle him. Those who knew Luka before his stay and see him now always comment on how well he is doing. I cannot recommend Lori Hamilton's Dog training enough to anyone who feels like they've tried everything and is feeling discouraged. I am so thankful because it finally feels like Luka and I can start living life and enjoying everything around us.

Lori helped transform our 1.5-year-old golden retriever Ruben from an 87# spirited, jumping, land…read moreshark to a calm, obedient family member. He was an anxious, leash pulling, cat chasing, chewing, biting and jumping-- hiding inside an adorable shell. We started in Lori's group class, then did private one on one training with her and ultimately 4 weeks of board and train at her facility. She trained us and trained him and ultimately transformed life at home. Our 3 cats are now able to be in the same room as him. Our visitors no longer have him standing up on their chest in exuberant greeting. We can relax and have dinner without Ruben trying to eat our feet or running zoomies around the room. We can walk him without having our arms ripped out of our sockets. He is calm around other dogs. He is crate trained and easily goes to sleep at night. He has his own treadmill and works out twice a day, in addition to our daily walks. We been to Pack walks with Lori and 15 other dogs, all walking obediently through the Pruneyard shopping center. The dogs get to work on socialization and good manners on these field trips. Lori came to our house and we staged a meal with a visitor. It really helped us learn how to keep him on his best behavior during meal time with a guest!!! Our first year with Ruben was really tough, he was not the mellow golden retriever we anticipated. Lori's teaching changed everything. She provided the methods and the tools to help us have the best outcome and a relaxed home life with our beautiful dog; more than we ever expected!!!

Many years ago, an employee at Pet Food Express turned me on to Taste of the Wild dry cat food. So…read morewhen the 14-pound bag ran out, I went back and bought another. I really liked the place because I could get my product, pay, and then go home. Suddenly, they decided to start a rewards program, and from my experiences at other stores, that meant walking up to the counter and the employee asking for my phone number. Then I would say that I don't belong to their program, and then that person would try to get me to join. As soon as it was implemented, I started to buy my cat food from Amazon. About a month ago, I stopped in the store to try again. The clerk said nothing about the rewards program; I paid and headed out. Yesterday, I went back, and the first question was, "Are you a member of our rewards program?" I bought my dry cat food, and I'm going back to Amazon.

I trust my VIP (very important pet to them). We discovered this store when our long term groomer had a residency here and returned recently after a long hiatus but they still had our info and welcomed us back warmly! They even noticed Miso's birthday and gave him a special treat! You can watch the groomers at work and I was able to get an appointment pretty soon after calling. There is a private parking lot for customers. We also buy their bento boxes for our pets as well - very healthy, no gastro issues consuming them.

It's worth exploring more with her, she may have a smarter approach.

Gusty is an Exceptional Trainer - Forever Grateful…read more We are beyond grateful for the incredible work Gusty did with Daisy, our rescue Rottweiler. Daisy needed not just training, but patience, understanding, and someone who truly cared about her. That is exactly what we found. Gusty easily connected with Daisy in a calm, confident, and compassionate way that immediately put both of us at ease. The progress Daisy made was truly remarkable. Not only did she learn important skills and boundaries, but she also gained confidence, trust, and a sense of security. Watching her transform into the happy, well-adjusted, and joyful dog has been a rewarding experience. Gusty also transformed me - I am less anxious about Daisy now. Gusty has a deep understanding of canine behavior, body language, and emotional needs and she applied that knowledge in thoughtful, effective ways. Every technique was explained clearly, and we always understood the "why" behind each step of the training process. Gusty's level of expertise is both rare and impressive. However, what makes this trainer so special is not just technical expertise, but genuine love for animals and deep respect for their unique stories - especially rescue dogs like Daisy. Daisy was in the best possible hands. We cannot recommend this trainer highly enough. Gusty helped Daisy become the very best version of herself. Thank you for giving Daisy such a beautiful start to her new life. We will always be thankful.

It seemed like most groomers only do dogs, so it's challenging to find someone who grooms guinea pigs. Their nails had grown so long, and I would rather have a professional trim them since I'm so scared to make a mistake. I went with a full grooming for them, where she shampooed, trimmed nails and teeth, cleaned their ears, and blow dried their fur. They looked amazing, and she was very gentle and loving with them. The best part for us was that she came to our home, so we didn't have to cage them and drive them somewhere, and they could stay in the comfort of their home. I'll definitely be calling back every 4 months for regular grooming, since we had such a positive experience.

I think the owner she walk with me around the store, extremely friendly and knowledgeable she explained all the different foods. The store literally has everything for your pets needs .

I believe she said they've been in business 40 years so definitely doing something right. she even said they do special orders, which is highly rare but a great service to have. . I would absolutely recommend if you have a pet to check out the store.
