From the start, LECA provided the perfect mix of socialization, enrichment, and training. With a hyper-energetic, highly intelligent, and sensitive Australian Shepherd, we wanted to ensure she had positive experiences while also satisfying her natural drive to "work." LECA has been instrumental in making that happen. Beyond socials, we've taken several classes to become better dog guardians and help our pup overcome her early socialization deficits--especially her fears. The team truly cares, always listening to our feedback and tailoring their approach to our dog's needs. Our biggest win? Addressing her leash reactivity early on and helping her grow into a more confident dog. But don't just take our word for it--her happy smile in the photos says it all! The LECA staff are some of her favorite people!

Pat is truly amazing. We have two dogs, a cat and a nine month old, so most days we live in…read moreorganized chaos. We have had other "trainers" before but none like Pat. Our main goals were to address poor manners when people came over (jumping/barking), poor leash manners (pulling/leading the walk/leash aggression for one of them), and all around general behavior training. We wanted, and needed, help to rectify these things before our son became truly mobile. We emailed Pat on a Friday night and he called the next day. We spoke for over an hour and he reassured us that things would be okay. We scheduled a training session for later that week and haven't looked back. He is an incredible teacher; he took the time to learn about our dogs, our family dynamic, and what our hopes were for the training sessions. He began teaching us right away and showed us how to get into the minds of our dogs. We are five sessions in and there has been such a vast improvement already. We are currently working on walking both dogs and pushing the stroller - a dream of mine - that is soon to be a reality. We genuinely look forward to each session and getting to hang with Pat. Our pack was definitely out of whack but Pat has been instrumental in teaching us how to teach our dogs and reframe our thinking. If you are looking for a no BS, honest, caring trainer/behaviorist, and you are willing to trust someone, and put in the time and work, look no further - he is definitely your guy. We cannot recommend him enough.

Words cannot describe how grateful our family is to have met Tom and for all of the work he has…read moredone with our dogs. We first started working with Tom when we brought our second (yes second!!) puppy home. We were trying to integrate 2 puppies under 6 months old (a Lab and Shih Tzu) in 1 household. Tom gave us reassurance and additional tips and tricks to manage the household with 2 puppies. Our Lab went through the offleash training program that Tom has to offer and it is incredible how quickly she learned! Tom has the patience that you'd want in any dog trainer and is so extremely knowledgeable. He treated our dogs like they were his own and never rushed us through our sessions. Tom takes the time and really invests his energy into his clients and their success. During the timing of our offleash training, we were experiencing some territorial behavior issues with our Shih Tzu. If it wasn't for Tom, I don't know how we would have ever gotten our Shih Tzu to be where he is now. He is a completely better and different dog than he was. He listens better than any Shih Tzu I have ever met (especially being a stubborn breed)! If you are looking for a trainer who cares, who is knowledgeable, and who will invest the time into your dogs, you found the right person. Tom, thank you again for all that you have done for Dakota and Moose! We are forever grateful for you!!!

All that Tom did with Dahlia (6 months old) Tulip (7 years old) wanted to be included which Tom did willingly. He would show me something a few times then hand me the leash to do it myself. Everything he taught 'us' we did at least 2-3 times a day every day and that is what you have to do to keep the puppy learning. Of course his Happy Howie treats that he carries in a bag no his belt was the best incentive ever. He even sent me a picture of what I should buy on Amazon. Both dogs love it and really listen to the commands to get some of the treats. Even Tulip does "Place" now a well as Dahlia! I can't say enough about Tom...his manner, personality and his huge repertoire are the best things about him except his professional manner. Dahlia and I are working hard on 'off leash' and he is doing really well. I would recommend Tom to anyone having an behavior problems.. He also will text you back with any issues you might have which is the best part of it all. Thank you Tom for everything!!

I let one employee know, who called another girl over. she told me the fish "like to lay down". I told her i have a betta fish and theyre not supposed to be swimming in algae. She said "they would be cleaned tomorrow" (good to know theyre not cleaned daily). She took one dead one and one gasping for air "to the back". Guess that one wasn't saved. Got death stares from her for the next 15 mins i was in the store even though i did not blame her. So i bought another sick one and saved him (hes doing so well now just because i gave him clean water and space). But his fins are all ripped and tattered because he was corroding in his own waste. Shame on you, Petsmart. For real... do better.

I do not recommend using this location if you have a cat. I booked an appointment for my cat to get…read morea haircut, deshed, and bath. I really just wanted him to get a haircut and deshed, but that wasn't an option. Upon arrival, they told me it would take 2 to 3 hours. This made no sense to me. When I asked why, they admitted that they overbook every appointment and always have too many animals and not enough people to perform the pet grooming services. I received a call 2 1/2 hours later telling me that they were not able to give him a haircut because he was too "anxious," but they gave him a bath and deshed. I was very annoyed. It is their job to perform grooming services, yet here they are calling me saying they cannot perform grooming services. I basically had to pay $100 for a bath I could've done at home and for them to deshed him. When they brought him from the back, they handed him to me and said he's still wet because he was too "anxious" to finish drying him. They couldn't even blow dry the cat! To top it off the added a "Special care fee" to the bill. They couldn't even do the job that I paid for, yet they were charging me an extra fee.

Iohana came over a few times to review our dog and give us helpful ways to overcome his aggression. She started us on clicker training with him, something I had not used before. Thanks to her training and teaching us, the dog is making strides and we have high hopes that he will be fully adoptable in the future. Would recommend her without hesitation! As an added bonus, she's a graduate of the animal behavior program at Bucknell, where my daughter currently goes!

She is on the mend and much better with love, care and lots of Reiki treatments :) However she still needed obedience and to learn to be a good doggie with manners and to walk on a leash properly but almost every puppy training class declined her due to not having "choke" collar and I was told it is a strict protocol to have her on it to be in class even though she is only 12 pounds. I tried a school and while it is a positive and fun school for her it was not helping with walking on a lead and her focus issues that is typical for a terrier breed. I cannot thank Greg enough for his approach and expertise! YOU are truly an amazing dog trainer! Greg came to my house for one session and literally put it all in synch for Brandi and me :) He did not even consider the harness he was able to gain her attention, control and respect within one hour and without choking her with a collar. I highly recommend Greg to anyone who needs training and help with their furry family member it was a huge success for us and I am sure it can be for you too :)

Greetings again fellow Yelpers...... Although it has taken…read moresome time for Ownership to offer a rebuttal, it finally was posted. In order to continue to provide you with factual, informative feedback, this latest evaluation of that response is now posted. Ownership contends that the "pack" is walked 3 x per day. When closed circuit video was operable, clearly, the dogs within the large play area were not taken outside; this was verifiable after watching the camera feed continuously over an 8 hr period. (There is insufficient staff to walk all of the dogs, on leash, within the nearby wooded area.) Sadly, the dogs continue to relieve themselves directly onto the play floor. The suggestion that existing smells on the floor contribute to the triggering of relieving themselves is lame at best. Considering that the play floor is sanitised regularly, and that it is a sealed floor, the dogs are simply compelled to relieve themselves onto the floor; there are no lingering smells. Don't forget, a single staff member is assigned to immediately clean up after the dogs "go". With regard to dog owners using the view window to check up on their furry friends, that window is limited to the small dog play area. Unless dog owners intend to camp out at the one window, it's unreasonable to suggest that the one view window provides proof of the dogs being walked, the lack of a closed circuit TV feed notwithstanding. TV feeds for dog owners was taken down several years ago; you should be concerned about that decision.

Upon picking my dog up, I was immediately told my dog needs training. My dog has been trained. When my dog got in the car, my passenger seat was immediately filthy (see pic below) and I noticed my dogs paws and elbows had some sticky brownish substance on them and he smelled terrible. Guess that's why they want to charge you 25.00 to give the dog a bath which is what I did the moment we got home. It took my dog 48hrs to return to his normal/playful self and 5 days later, he now has kennel cough. NEVER AGAIN!!!! I had a much better experience with K-9 resorts also in Fairfield.
