    The positive results my dog has achieved in just a short amount of time is shocking to say the…read moreleast! My dog is mainly listening to verbal commands without the need for treats. She is fantastic at explaining dog psychology so I can understand what my dog is thinking. 10/10 recommend as her skill level won't be found in large group classes nor will the group training be tailored to best fit your dog.

    Kristen helped train my dogs. I have two dogs. One (Sansa) is a pitbull the other (Sadie) is half…read morepitbull. Both are very stubborn, but very smart. She was able to figure out a way to get through to them and help me learn how to manage two different personalities, ages (senior & an 8yr old) with one having limited abilities and the other running/jumping/hyper. Issue 1) walking them.. sadie the eight-year-old was very energetic and wanted to run or walk very fast. She tended to pull a lot. Sansa The senior, 12-year-old girl walked slowly and very close to me to where I would keep tripping over her so I needed her to learn space. Kristen admittedly said this was difficult to have two very differing dogs and one person walking both of them especially since I have physical limitations myself with struggling from fibromyalgia. She set up an appointment for us to go to A walking trail and worked with us on that, and additionally another issue Sadie was having. Issue 2) when I would take Sansa and Sadie for walks on the trails that were busy Sadie would often bark and spin in circles when a bike would ride past us. I wanted help with this behavior. Kristen was able to find a way to help subdue her reaction. Issue 3) One of the people we live with is very obnoxious and the dogs bark at him every time he enters the room. They don't do this with any other person. I asked her to come to my home to evaluate the situation. She nailed it right on the head what the problem was. She spoke with this person to give him insight into how his behavior was affecting the dogs. Her ability to get through to not only the dogs, but people as well is amazing! He actually heard her! He is a very difficult person to talk to so I was impressed! She also helped trained us to not reward them when they barked at him (which I didn't realize I was doing by letting them stay on the couch & petting them.) I thought I was calming them, but she pointed out it's rewarding what they're doing. So now I get them off the couch when they bark & treat them when they don't. This helped quite a bit. Not only is she knowledgeable but she is very upbeat and positive. She is very sweet and takes her time with you and the dogs. I highly recommend her and we would hire her again! Thanks Kristen you're the best!!

    We have two dogs and a cattery full of Ragdoll cats, so saying we make a lot of trips to PetSmart…read morewould be an understatement! This location has become one of our regular stops for all of those random things you suddenly realize you need when you have a house full of animals. We've picked up everything from toys and treats to litter, grooming supplies, carriers and everyday pet necessities here. I really appreciate having such a large selection nearby, especially when I need something immediately and don't want to wait for an online order. The store is easy to shop, there's always something new for me to bring home that my animals absolutely did not need , and we've consistently had good experiences with the staff. We're definitely regulars!

    I wanted to wait to write this until such time as we had multiple pets have multiple visits. This…read morereview is primarily for the purposes of grooming but I was appreciative for the friendly greeting I received each time I went in. Our dogs usually see Tara - she puts with our A-hole Maltese (inherited from my mother-in-law), as well as my mom's mixed breed fluff pup. She is awesome - does a great job, friendly and accommodating. I honestly cannot say enough great things about her or the job she does. I do want to mention that ALL the ladies (haven't seen any guys there yet) at the grooming salon are really nice and helpful. They even helped my poor mom to her car (with her dog) when she came in herself but couldn't handle her dog (or find her car...yikes). They were sweet and helped her out and I am EXTREMELY grateful. Groomers have a rough go - they deal with a lot of different people with different expectations and it's hard to meet some of those. But my experiences here have always been great and I highly recommend it.

I realized I was the one who needed retraining. She is patient and has a very positive attitude. I have since referred a few clients her way and will not hesitate to refer more.

Before that, we enjoyed dog parks and meeting other dogs and their owners on our daily walks. She became aggressive during puberty. The Vet said let's wait to see what happens after the spay. Jade got more aggressive, not less. Desiree is a dog whisperer. When we met at our consultation, Desire walked into my backyard, and Jade snarled and bounded across toward her. I almost fainted watching my huge dog running toward her. Desiree did her trainer thing, and Jade completely relaxed. I watched Jade become putty in her hands within minutes, and I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. The training was detailed and extensive. My dog responds to me when I call her with a quiet "hey" when she starts to play with my cats or go towards the kitchen. She places in the house even when guests arrive, or someone rings the doorbell. Her PICA (eating non-food items) is almost completely gone. ( Jade is s/p a life-threatening bowel obstruction after eating a towel) She went to the dog park and played with a Golden until her energy was spent a few days ago. I can play with her off-leash and have confidence in my abilities to communicate with her. A couple of weeks after the training, Jade all of sudden began to be triggered by the satellite dishes and telephone polls on our walks. Well, you can imagine how difficult it became with aggressive barking and then refusal to move. I called Desiree, and she drove the 20 miles to my house immediately. She offered some recommendations, which I applied right away and I could see that the initial onslaught of fear dissipated over a couple of weeks. Desiree is professional, prompt, clear, and is phenomenal with dogs. It's been 8 months since training and Jade is an amazing companion. Thank you, Desiree
