We attended the beginner and intermediate puppy classes by
Patricia. Our Chihuahua puppy started off very timid and shy
but with Patricia’s care and guidance, improved each week. By
the end of the classes she was very sociable with the other
pups and had learned many important commands. I would
recommend these classes for anyone looking to socialize their
dog and learn the essiential commands. Patricia is a
wonderful, patient teacher. We had a lot of fun at the class and
hope to join another one in the future!
Went to Beginner and Intermediate classes for my puppy with
Patricia and absolutely recommend the service. Patricia was
not only knowledgeable but helped with any puppy questions I
had (and I had a lot!) and gave my dog all the attention she
needed. Highly recommend!
A great pet store with all the necessities you need for pets.
Our dog Dexter just graduated from the puppy training class
thanks to the very helpful advice from our class trainer.
Patricia was great and Dexter can’t wait for the intermediate
class to start next week, he loves his outings at PetSmart.
We took our rescue pup, Holly, here for Beginner Training
with Patricia. Patricia is amazing! She is so calm and
patient with all of the dogs, and she really put my mind at
ease. I was a bit nervous to take Holly to our first session
(she’s a big girl with a past we’re still learning about), but
shedid so well and learned so much. Patricia is an
excellent trainer, and the difference in Holly’s behaviour
from Day 1 to now has been night and day. We look
forward to using the tools we’ve learned to keep up the
good work, will be continuing on to Intermediate Training
later this summer.
My dog/puppy (Henry) and I just finished “beginner dog
training” with Patricia. She was wonderful, but strict enough
to make us want to practice at home so as not to disappoint
her! (Or embarrass ourselves by not practicing!) my 4 month
old puppy Henry can now sit, lay down, stay, wait, come, loose
leash walk for short periods of time (normal)… and roll over,
shake paw, other paw and perform puppy push ups!
Incredible. We have signed up for “Intermediate dog training”
with Patricia as well! Really looking forward to it!
I was feeling owerwhelmed with my two puppies, and was
beginning to wonder if I would ever be able to get them to behave.
I started to look for training in Burlington but most services were
way over my budget. Then I noticed PetSmart offered training so I
decided to give it a chance and was blown away by how
professional and knowledgeable Patricia Gallinger-Giao was. She
is excellent and worked miracles with my two dogs which now
behave, and my family is enjoying them so much more. I am
currently doing the next level of training for the intermediate class,
and my dogs cannot wait to get to training.
I give this location a FIVE star rating.
