Best Pet trainers in United States

Started with AHOW when I got a new puppy six months ago. We always have a great experience. The vet techs and doctors are so caring. And the practice is managed well, too. Highly recommend.

I brought my childhood pup (he was 17) here for end of life about 2 years ago. They handled everything so elegantly and thoughtfully that fast forward to now, I have decided to take my new pup here who is just over 3 months old now.

The care has been phenomenal through 3 visits, the staff is absolutely awesome and care about every pet that walks through the door, and my puppy absolutely loves everyone there.

Bring some treats with you for visits, and enjoy a likely positive experience!

Thank you, Dr. Mugge, and your wonderful staff for taking such good care of Tux when I brought him in for his first visit with you. Over the years, Animal Hospital of Worthington has always been a top notch practice and I'm so glad to be back with my Tux! The very best to all of you! Sheila Brown

Terrific experience! Saw Dr Valentino for vaccines for senior dog. It was apparent that my dog also needed several rotten teeth removed. They were able to get us in promptly & stayed late on a Friday to finish surgery and hand her back off to me. Great combination of professionalism and kindness.

Humane Rescue Alliance was amazing to work with when I got my dog. They even provided me with a free behavioral training session after adoption.

Nelson and his daughter Jessica from Wildlife Safari came to Branch Line School today and they were wonderful host and did an amazing job with all the beautiful animals they brought today. This was an experience I’m sure none of the children grades k-8 will never forget! I would highly recommend them to any school or event that appreciates the collaboration of education and animals in front of young minds.

We adopted a puppy from here, that we had seen on the news. The staff were knowledgeable and very helpful. The process was quick and even though there was a lot of people walking around and looking, I felt as though we were the only ones there. The animals were clean as well as the kennels and all the animals seemed happy healthy and clean.

Can’t say more wonderful things about this animal shelter. They take the time to help you find the right dog and after losing my previous dog, they found me such an angel of a senior who I know my prior dog sent my way. All dogs deserve a happy ending regardless of age, so please consider an older fur baby while you’re there. Betty is the sweetest.

Great Doctors ,( Dr Elzein in particular) great techs, great front desk staff.
Extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
They treat Molly like family.
Highly recommended.

I was recommended going here after MAJOR issues with animal care center of Polaris that left me questioning their regard for the pets (there are quite a few people there that are amazing!! But the vets, not so much). So I switched and I don’t regret it in the least! My FAVORITE front desk vet lady is there (bonus!) and the vets (all of them and everyone else working there) TRULY care for your pets’ needs. I have a few difficult pets and they have made leaps and bounds in only a year of going there; never thought I would see the day. My one dog has anxiety and a low pain tolerance and Dr. Elzein has done the most amazing job to help me get him to where he is today with lower stress and feeling great! Everyone there is also patient with the pets and owners; not to mention the time they take to inform you of anything going on or questions you have. I have all 4 (and a foster) on their paw plans, which is amazing with how much we are there. The list of amazingness could go on for days. I hope if you are looking for a vet, you really consider them and know your pet(s) are in the best care (the biggest stress relief).

I wish I could give this place zero stars.

I strongly recommend you adopt from somewhere else:

After months my partner and I were able to finally finish this email to them that we sent December 26 and they still haven't responded. It reads:

Hello Humane Rescue Alliance,

I am emailing you with great pain and sadness in concern of my late pet, Katalaya, or as your rescue referred to her "Hope." My partner and I were in a previous search for a new family member. We started our search in October and kept coming back to your shelter every week until we found "Hope" or our Katalaya and adopted her after her surgery on November 10, 2023. We made sure to email back for medical records and were informed of a limp she had that was recorded to be benign by the doctors at the facility.

We took her home after the surgery and she adjusted to our home just fine. She ate irregularly and threw up a bit, which seemed to be normalized behavior after her type of surgery. We were so excited to have her and fell in love with her so quickly. The third night she started to seem even more fatigued than usual and really kept to herself. She stayed under our bed the whole night and wouldn't come out until morning when she started throwing up. I knew something was wrong so I had my partner call hospitals for emergency care.

While on the phone she started drooling and foaming at the mouth. It didn't seem like she was breathing. Spiraling into a panic we put her in her carrier and went to emergency clinics that eventually led us to the Veterinary Emergency Group. As soon as we brought her into their care, they told us this was a tracheal tear and the worst they had seen. They explained that this likely took place during her recent spay surgery.

They told us that she was dying and if we wanted to keep her alive we would have to pay around $5,000 for care just for her to have mediocre quality of life. They let us know that this mistake made during her spayed surgery had caused her to suffer for the four days that we had her. Though the option of euthanizing her at your facility was free we could not bring her back to the same place that had sourced all of her pain and suffering. As they tried to give her care to help her calm down we heard her screaming and crying from the separate room we waited in. We had her euthanized at that care center which gave us a bill of $534.94.

It has taken me weeks to write this email to you because of all of the pain your mistakes have put us through.

I am proud to say that Dog Training Elite is my 4th and final dog trainer. Persistent, aggressive and dangerous were all words that have been used to previously describe my dog, Elton. Strangers now approach us regularly, complimenting on how well-behaved he is.

Before discovering DTE, I had invested time and resources in training Elton since he was four months old (he is now 2). Despite my best efforts, his reactivity and aggression seemed to worsen over time. After a negative incident at a dog park, his reactivity heightened, causing extreme stress for both of us. Taking him outside, even for a simple potty break, became a source of anxiety due to his unpredictable behavior. My anxiety only seemed to feed his, but after numerous trainers I thought I was out of options. We resorted to tailoring our schedule to avoid potential incidents in my apartment complex, and I honestly thought making our world a little smaller was the only way to protect him and others.

Choosing DTE was a turning point. From the initial consultation call with Donny, I felt supported and heard. Instead of recommending avoidance strategies suggested by other trainers, Donny outlined the goal to bring Elton to "neutral" outside and towards other dogs (his main triggers). He even said by the end of in-home sessions, Elton would be riding in elevators with other dogs (I honestly had trouble believing this one). After the phone conversation, Donny provided an in-person consultation, and he remained confident in Elton's ability to succeed.

In just a few weeks of weekly home visits and trusting the training and guidance, there were significant improvements. Elton began looking to me for direction, and walks became more enjoyable. Previously, he made decisions on walks, driven by fear. Now, he was heeling more, walking safely off-leash at times, and sitting by a busy street in a down position. Instead of avoiding triggers, I began to seek them out for practice (passing dogs, bikes, etc). Over time, I was building trust in myself and Elton, because DTE empowered me with the control and confidence leading to these major improvements.

DTE's approach goes beyond dog training; they deeply understand both dogs and humans, and worked patiently with me to build confidence in myself and my dog, providing me tools to feel confident and calm in situations that were previously stressful and frightening. They were there every step of the way. In just a few weeks, they surpassed my expectations and ultimately Elton took an elevator ride with two other dogs - completely calm. The group classes haven't even started yet, and I can't believe how far we've come.

For anyone dealing with a reactive dog, the stress of avoiding triggers can take a lot of energy. The trust I’ve built in myself and Elton has been one of my biggest achievements, thanks to the tools and support from DTE. Thank you Donny for making this incredible impact on our lives.

Sweet Maple has been going here since we adopted her. She has met every doctor that works there. As a mom of a rescue, I appreciate patience and space at appointments. They always move quickly and give her cheese for comfort. also shout out to the awesome vet techs who go above and beyond to make our girl comfy.

we enjoyed the dog training and assortment of treats and items! the area was very large and clean and the trainers brought our shy dog out of her shell. Rachel and sharon were so professional and our pup loved them :). We’ll definitely be back (the venison treats were her fav!)

they’ve got dog disco, agility and obedience training, and lots of other cool stuff for a good price. thank you guys!!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Dog Training Elite Austin for my dog, Dena. Dena, a rescue, had always been a bit anxious and faced challenges in various situations, especially during our walks. From the start, Dog Training Elite Austin stood out with their approach. They didn’t just offer generic training; instead, they tailored a program specifically for Dena’s unique needs.

What truly amazed me was their willingness to go above and beyond. They didn’t limit the training to a standard environment. Instead, they took the time to visit the specific areas where Dena was struggling the most. This hands-on approach made a significant difference.

The results? Nothing short of remarkable. Not only did Dena become more confident and less anxious, but our walks turned into enjoyable experiences rather than stressful ones. The follow-up group classes provided by Dog Training Elite Austin have also been incredibly beneficial, reinforcing what Dena learned and helping us both grow even more.

Thanks to Dog Training Elite Austin, Dena and I are now living a much happier and more enjoyable life together. I can’t thank the team enough for their dedication, expertise, and the personalized care they provided. If you’re looking for a dog training service that truly understands and caters to your dog’s needs, Dog Training Elite Austin is the place to go. Highly recommended!

We had Nelson and his daughter for my daughters 10th birthday, they were amazing!! He has such a informative show that he puts on for everyone and also being able to pet and take pictures with them all too.
Also his animals are so well trained!!

I got the happiest family member from this place a Shiba Inu. Can you believe it,? The staff was so supportive in the adoption process and welcomed me every day I came to the center to check on "Egypt" until her day to come home came! They answered all my questions and gave me pointers on her breed. If you are looking for your next lovely family member as well this is the place. (I visited a lot for almost 7 months until I found the dog of my dreams).

Zelda’s first class today at Zoom Room! What a great experience and fun time for her…and us! Exceptional group of trainers!!!

I have been working with DTE since even before getting my in training service puppy. They have been wonderful and informative throughout the entire process and are really with you every step of the way. I am incredibly impressed at the progress points we're at even at still under >23 weeks. I look forward to completing our full service training and am super happy to have heard of them from a friend. I highly recommend DTE's training, from behavior, puppy, or service levels. Top notch!!

I have three German Shepherds that Penny works with and all of them have their own personality and heve different needs, Penny dose an awesome job with training them as well as teaching me things that I can do to help my dogs.
I give Yooper Paws five stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

When Murphy first started going to Zoom Room Chandler, he was afraid to even go inside the building. He wouldn’t go near the agility equipment. With the help of the amazing trainers at Zoom Room, Murphy has gained so much confidence and can now run the agility course! He is not the same dog as when we first started! Everyone at Zoom Room Chandler has been awesome!!! Highly recommend.

Cowboy was a very hyper hard to socialize dog after being attacked by other dogs at 8 months old, now with the the help of Penny at yooper paws he is friendly, social and has several dog friends.

Zoom room is awesome and our dog is really enjoying agility! Staff are super friendly amd helpful. They have lots of fun toys and treats also.

I got the honor of fostering the lovely baby kitten “Zuul” who I called storm. It was only for about 9 days but I fell in love on day 1. She was transferred to me from a previous foster parent. She was sick from young and had to deal with diarrhea and vomiting. She was tested for panleuk ONLY. The previous foster parent felt very unsupported. I noticed that Storm couldn’t keep weight on and on October 27th I woke up and I realized she couldn’t stand up. I rushed her to HRA immediately. When I got there a staff member took her and I asked him “should I call back in say.. 3 hours to see if she’s okay?” He responded “Umm just call tomorrow” in my head I was like how could you expect me to wait until tomorrow to hear about how she is doing when I saw her in such a state?… I already knew I was going to call back later ANYWAY. I got a call soon after (TOO SOON IF YOU ASK ME!!!) , within the hour with the staff telling me that they ran test and decided to euthanize her. NO ONE TOLD ME ANYTHING UNTIL AFTER THE FACT. NO ONE GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY GOODBYE TO HER OR ANYTHING. I LEFT HER IN THEIR CARE THINKING I’D GET HER BACK LATER BUT INSTEAD I GET A CALL SAYING SHE PASSED.. I NEVER GET THAT CLOSURE!!! HRA IS DISGUSTING, INCONSIDERATE AND SELFISH. I will never work with them again! I’m literally SCARRED. I don’t even think they gave her a real chance. She’ll always be remembered and in my heart. I’m grateful I got to spend the time I did with her. But I’ll forever be resentful that I didn’t have a choice to say my goodbyes.. HRA has disappointed me greatly. I hope I’m the last foster parent that has to go through this. That was a heartless decision on their end and heartbreaking experience for me. R.I.P my beloved storm😢❤️

The trainers are so nice, patient, and supportive. The place is roomy and clean. Our Bailey is doing great and happy to come.

Just started taking our corgi to agility class. They are very knowledgeable and provide a great set up for dogs and their owners to work together. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a way to stimulate/train your dog

There was a mss as or stray cat that was injured. I had to give him some food because he looked malnourished and needed help extremely bad. So I called the main rescue to come pick them up in the meantime I just gave him tuna and milk to make him feel comfortable

Highly recommend Zoom Room in Hardin Valley. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and beautiful facility. My golden doodle and I had the best time.

My dog Josie loved the intro to agility class! It was plenty of space! Anna ran the class and was fabulous! She is very knowledgable of training but also all the products they sell! She sold me in several toys and goodies for my dog! When you take classes ask for Anna, she knows her stuff!

I visited Zoom Room on their grand opening day, and loved expansive training area, as well as the great products available! The owner and trainers have a passion for what they do and it shows in the great experience they provide! I highly recommend getting your dog training from Zoom Room!

My dogs and I love Zoom Room Chandler! The trainers are very welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable. It's a safe environment for my dogs to get some exercise and be around other dogs.

We hire Nelson's for our Boy Scout Pack every single year because our scouts love the experience. We have really enjoyed seeing them every single year since 2016 when we joined the pack and we know the pack has had Nelson's present before then as well. He does great work explaining the work he does.

I absolutely LOVE Zoom Room Chandler! I highly recommend it for puppy training, agility, and the Puppy Playgroup! They have trainers and supervisors there at all times to help with the socialization (and help doggy parents with the anxiety of socialization sometimes!)

"I can't say enough good things about Zoom Room! Their trainers are incredibly patient and amazing with our Lola. They truly love what they do, and it shows in the progress Lola has made. Highly recommended!"

Cristina was fabulous with my two year old Biewer terrier! She is calm, comforting and firm with his commands. She was prompt and diligent on completing his “lessons”. We will stay in touch, we both enjoyed her teaching!

I’ve gotten multiple pets from Humane Pet Alliance and let me say they’re the absolute best. Always upfront about the animals and really make sure you’re the best placement for them without some other places grueling month long process. Most animals are take home ready on the same day. The staff really does care about the animals and I throughly enjoy going into this building every single time. Summer has helped me with all of my adoptions and she’s always super informative and knowledgeable. I’m grateful knowing that my pets came from a shelter were they were loved and highly cared for. Thank you HRA for everything you do 🫶🏼

The owners of the Zoom Room Chandler, Josh and Kristin, are such incredible people. They are warm & welcoming and are absolutely wonderful with the dogs that come in. They are very knowledgeable and patient when working with the dogs. They make the classes fun. Our bernadoodle puppy, Bodie, immediately fell in love with Josh! We have only been to 3 classes and Bodie has learned so much. Josh, Kristen & the staff at The Zoom Room Chandler genuinely care for the pets that come in and are excited to see the progress that they make while in class. I highly recommend the Zoom Room Chandler!

Christina is amazing!! She is like the dog whisperer. She not only described what my dog would do when a command was given, i literally watched him do everything she said he would do to a Tee! She is very communicative and explains everything thoroughly. She also provided additional resources. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog trainer.

I was looking for a dog training place that was a step up from the norm. The Zoom Room filled the need! A spacious training area with room to make mistakes, learn, and play. And of course great trainers who have taught us how to train our dog in a way that makes him love following his commands!

Donny and Jenny of DTE Austin have changed our lives! We have a very sweet and smart, as well as highly anxious, Australian Shepherd named Bean. We felt totally loss and like failures with Bean, given that we had no idea how to address her anxieties which often manifested into aggressive and stressed out tantrums. I dreaded taking her anywhere, even on local neighborhood strolls, out of fear that I wouldn’t be able to prevent her from losing all sanity at any given moment. Donny gave us the skills and practices to create boundaries, improve confidence in both us and Bean, and even gave us additional freedoms with Bean through positive reinforcement and with eCollar training.

It has been a long road (with no end in sight) filled with lots of work and often times self doubt, but to see where Bean is today in comparison to three months ago is all the proof I need to know DTE was the right fit for us. Even after our one-on-one training sessions had come to an end, DTE continue to help us with Bean. We can’t express our gratitude for DTE. Bean has never been happier, and this experience has truly repaired and even transformed the boud between me and her.

Everything DTE does is done with grace, kindness, and respect. If you may be hesitant to attempt to help your anxious furry friend, let this be your sign to absolutely go for it! Thanks DTE (:

We love Zoom Room! It's so great to have an indoor positive reinforcement training facility in the East Valley that truly cares about your individual goals for your dogs! Keep up the great work, Zoom Room Chandler!

Our mini Sheepadoodle, Phoebe, and I LOVE the Zoom Room in South Chandler!!! The owners are not only extremely knowledgeable, but also so welcoming and kind. Phoebe has already learned so many new good habits, like how to wait and stay, and she always comes home exhausted from having so much FUN! We are looking forward to trying the Tricks Class so she can show off to her friends (haha!) and the Agility Classes! Thank you to the entire staff for providing a wonderful experience every time we visit the Zoom Room!

Cannot speak highly enough of DTE Austin. We were recommended to Jenny and Donny by friends for our goldendoodle puppy Noodle. Their training is one of the best investments we’ve made in recent memory. Both Jenny and Donny are excellent with the dogs they work with and their handlers. We have so much more confidence and freedom taking Noodle out and about. We ALWAYS get compliments about how well-behaved he is and it makes our lives so much easier. We love DTE Austin!

Penny has helped my Lana so much. Lana is an reactive dog, with a reactive mom. She has taught Lana and I so much .We both have come along way. Her postive trainning is setting up Lana for success; She has come so far and we have so much fun

My experience with Dog Training Elite (DTE) and their skilled trainer, Donnie, has been nothing short of exceptional. Donnie's expertise and dedication have truly transformed the behavior of our two dogs, Oliver (6-year old Aussie mix) and Bean (3 year old pure bread Aussie). I am delighted to share our journey with DTE, which has empowered us to overcome our Beans’s anxiety, given us the confidence to take her out in public, and allowed us to enjoy peaceful, long walks together.

From the very first session, Donnie exhibited a remarkable understanding of dog behavior and a genuine passion for his work. He immediately recognized our Aussies anxiety and provided us with effective tools tailored to her specific needs. Donnie's patient and compassionate approach made it evident that he truly cared about our dog's well-being.

The progress we achieved under Donnie's guidance was astonishing. He equipped us with techniques to help our anxious Australian Shepard gain control of her emotions, providing her with a sense of security and trust. Thanks to Donnie's invaluable training methods, our once fearful dog has blossomed into a more relaxed and confident companion.

One of the most significant achievements of our training experience was the newfound confidence we developed in handling our Aussie in public settings. Prior to working with Donnie, taking her out to busy places was a nerve-wracking experience for us. However, through gradual exposure and Donnie's support, we now confidently take her on outings, knowing she will respond positively to various stimuli.

Additionally, Donnie's guidance has greatly enhanced our dogs' leash manners, particularly during long walks. Both Oliver and Bean have become better-behaved on the leash, allowing us to enjoy leisurely strolls without the struggle of pulling and tugging.

Throughout our time with DTE, Donnie exhibited professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for our pets. He always listened attentively to our concerns and tailored the training to address specific challenges we faced as pet owners. His commitment to our dogs' progress was evident, as he continued to follow up with us regularly, even after our formal training sessions were complete.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend Dog Training Elite and Donnie enough for their outstanding dog training services. They have given us the tools to transform our once anxious Aussie, instilling confidence in us as responsible pet owners. Our dogs, Oliver and Bean, have benefited immensely from their expertise, making our time together more enjoyable and rewarding. If you're seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable dog trainer, look no further than Dog Training Elite and the remarkable trainer, Donnie and team.

Thank you, DTE, and Donnie for making such a positive impact on our canine companions and our lives!

My girl Lucy and I have gained a lot of knowledge with the Yooper paws adolescent class, and some extra outings! Penny is highly educated, and provides a relaxed pace and environment.. we can’t wait to take a few more classes! We really have learned so much!

Donny and Jenny have been with us since before Day 1, aka Keva’s gotcha day! They sat with us and discussed our needs and wants in a service & therapy dog and helped us choose the breed, breeder, and training program that would be right for our family. We have spent the majority of our time at DTE training with Jenny. Jenny is kind, patient, generous, and understanding. Her unconditional support helped me so much as Keva and I grew as a pair. I cannot thank her enough for all she has done 🐾💙 It is also worth mentioning that Jenny & the DTE team have helped me gain confidence to travel with Keva and bring him to essential appointments and my work. Thank you for all you have taught us and for helping us get this far!

I wish I could give a 10 star review for how wonderful Christina is! I used to be scared to walk my dog in Public, but now he's an expert on the leash. He's also extremely well behaved with company, and we get to do so many more fun things together.

If you're looking for professional dog training, Digging It Professional Dog Training is fantastic for you and your pup.

I can’t thank Chrissy enough for helping us. I would give her 10 stars. When I found Digging It Professional Training I was so overwhelmed that I honestly didn’t even think I liked my dogs anymore. They were taking off out the front door on me, tearing everything up, my couch & loveseat, 3 pairs of prescription glasses and much more. After Chrissy starting working with us, mainly me, my dogs and I have a wonderful bond, they know what I want from them and they will follow verbal commands and hand signals. Chrissy is amazing! You will not regret using her, she is the doggy whisperer!

The library connected and had him come come to our town. Showed 6 animals; 5 of them we got to touch. He was upbeat, kept the show interesting, our kids definitely loved it

Our family couldn't be more pleased with Christina at Digging It Professional Dog Training. Christina's extensive knowledge, kindness, and flexibility were truly a blessing as she worked with our parent's rescue dog who had trust issues and was timid around strangers. She quickly proved herself as an expert in her field, equipped with a deep understanding of canine behavior, and an innate patience that won our dog's trust. Christina was also incredibly accommodating, readily adjusting her schedule to meet our needs. The transformation in our dog's behavior is notable. She can even go an an airplane now! From a shy, barky pet, she's becoming a more confident, well-adjusted member of our family. We attribute this progress to Christina's dedicated efforts. For anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and effective dog training, Digging It Professional Dog Training comes highly recommended. Thank you Christina!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about to Dog Training Elite in Austin. Donny did amazing job training both of our dogs Sophia (8 years old) and Levi (16 weeks old). Both two complete different dogs who we had separate concerns with. With our oldest dog we’ve previously were told that she was “not trainable” due to her old age and that her separation anxiety/aggression was not going to change. For Donny this was not a problem. He was able to be fully transparent and reliable throughout or trainings and allow us to set realistic goals for both our dogs. He helped our dogs gain confidence and security in us as well as in themselves. We can now walk confidently with our dogs in multiple settings, as well as have guest over with peace of mind. Training our dogs has been the greatest investment we have done in our home.

Thank you Donny and Dog Training Elite Austin for helping us give our dogs a better life.

If you're looking for a up-beat, engaging, animal-packed event, I cannot recommend Nelson with Wildlife Safari enough. I came across his business in a random google search looking for something to entertain the kids at my sons 6th birthday party. He put on a wonderful show and all of our guests, including the parents, had a blast. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend!

We adopted our Cane Corso Nala back in November 2019 right before the pandemic. Due to having to quarantine during Nala’s puppy months, she did not have enough time to socialize with other dogs or people. With that being said, when we found Christina, Nala was becoming quite aggressive and was not used to meeting new people or dogs at all. Christina was able to understand both Nala and my family immediately after meeting with us. She not only helped Nala understand things better, but helped us understand both Nala and ourselves in terms of training so much more. Christina is a life saver and truly changed our family for the better even in the hard times of 2020. If you’re looking for a passionate, professional, and extremely knowledgable trainer for your furry friend, Christina is the one to go to!!

Christina was great and exactly what I needed for puppy training! She was extremely flexible with my work schedule and tailored her training to meet specific problem areas I described during our sessions. Christina taught me just as much if not more than my pup. We started training when she was around 4 mos old and I feel much more equipped to handle her through difficult puppy stages. I highly recommend Christina! She is a true professional!

Rosie had to go to the doctor and they're talking about surgery on a leg. The doctor I met with was wonderful showed me in a model exactly what he would do talked about her pain meds and her recovery. This is definitely the best group that I've ever been with that takes care of my two girls, they're the best
Thanks guys

Christina was very patient with us and our new adopted dog. We are so much more confident with him and his behavior is greatly improved! I think we needed more training than the dog. We learned lifelong lessons with her training!

Nelson and his daughter came out for my son's 6th birthday and completely stole the show. Nelson was kind, professional and engaging and held the adults attention just as much as the children's if not more so! The Wildlife Safari show blew everyone's mind--the animals are absolutely unbelievable, they too have wonderful personalities and are well cared for. In addition to the incredible animals, one of the most endearing parts of the experience was Nelson incorporating pirate music into the show to compliment our party theme, which was actually quite fitting for the wild animals he brought--and those already at the party. We cant wait for another opportunity to invite Nelson out again. This show is truly worth it's weight in Gold.

Petco is such a welcoming place, very great representatives

Nelson is wonderful. Draws the crowd in and goes above and beyond to give a good show. I have been in childcare for 18 years and he comes out to see us at least once a year. The staff, children and parents at my school love him as well and have even used him for birthday parties. I highly recommend Nelson's Wildlife Safari!

I had the absolute best 40th Birthday party ever! People are still talking about it. The show was informative and fun. Nelson is a born presenter and makes each animal unveiling exciting. The animals are all well trained and cared for. Can't wait to do this again!

This place is always clean and friendly the animals are treated well in their care I will be going here more than petsmart

i trained my rott here they helped me lot. everybody how good dog i have. now im taking my sheppard. really impressed again
