Great customer service! We used to go to Petco because it was closer but Petco now refuses to sell 10 crickets at a time because they are having a corporate competition to sell 40 (and now 50) crickets at a time. We have two geckos that don't eat more than 10 crickets every feeding. Petsmart is more than happy to sell us 10.
I love this Petsmart! The staff is always kind and helpful. I've been coming here for about 20 years. When my last dog passed, I quickly signed my new dog up for classes here as well. We met Leslie, the trainer, who is awesome! She is so good- she's like having a boxing coach sitting in the corner to pick up on stuff you don't realize you're doing and coach you through it. I have aha moments every class! Leslie is also super funny too, so it's like going to comedy club each week. Along with puppy, beginner, intermediate and advanced, you can get your dog accredited with the Canine Good Citizen award. My favorite fun class is Brain Games. They learn to read cue cards like sit and down. My dog also learned colors blue and yellow. I highly recommend them all!
This was my home pet store when we lived in La Costa. We have cats and always would come here for food, litter, toys and the occasional Halloween costume or Christmas hat. We moved further inland and adopted a puppy. I checked out reviews and decided to sign my puppy up for Leslie Amen's Puppy training class as soon as she was old enough. Jasmine has really flourished in her classes. We are in the middle of our third course. Leslie is the best trainer. My pup loves her, is so excited to see her every week, and always listens to her (better than she listens to us sometimes!) Leslie has also taught us a ton about how to be good dog parents and to set our puppy up for success. Jasmine is so much more confident and loves to learn. We'll keep Jasmine in training as long as there are new things to learn! Leslie goes above and beyond for everyone in her class. Every pet and parent get individual attention and if a dog isn't quite understanding of something she finds a way to come at the behavior from another angle.
