I am rating this specific PetCo 4 stars due to the amazing service / grooming experience I had for my furbaby on Wednesday. Daniel was outstanding. I stopped in the week prior to pick up some treats for my puppy and thought I would stop into the salon to inquire about grooming. I have a chow chow named Bear who is one years old as of today. Bear has recently gotten neutered and I usually bathe him myself but after him being neutered he needed it to be professionally done. I stopped in to meet Daniel and possibly schedule an appointment. I notified him that Bear is a chow chow and knowing how people usually react when I say that due to the chow chow reputation I watched his reaction and he was very confident that there shouldn't be any problems with getting Bear taken care of. My dog is a good dog and has been through training. I socialize him at dog parks and regular parks so he is around other dog often and people. I just want to put that out there. It's not my dog that I am afraid will not interact well with others, it's others that I am afraid will not know how to properly approach him being that he is a alfa dog. Anyhow, Daniel suggested to bring Bear in so he could meet him and see which grooming package would suit Bear the best. I brought Bear in a few days later and Daniel walked up to him, kneeled down and let Bear get a sense of smell before Daniel went to reach out to Bear. Once Daniel saw that Bear was okay with him he started to rub Bear on the side of the neck, on his chest area and on top of the head. Bear reacted very well to this (as always when someone goes to pet him). Once Daniel started to pick up his paws to pay a look at his nails Bear started to bark which I corrected Bear on and Daniel said no he is fine, he's just talking and we can do that all day. we made an appointment for Wednesday at 8AM. Daniel suggested that I take Bear to the park first so he can get some of his energy out so I did. I took Bear to him after and he again approached Bear properly so he wouldn't get scared and sent me on my way. Bear was left with Daniel for a little over 2 hours and as Daniel said he did an amazing job. I picked my furbaby up smelling good and feeling SUPER soft. I don't want to make my dog sound like a bad dog because he is not at all. He runs freely at the park with no leash and no problem. People love him and he loves people. He plays very well with other dogs and has not gotten into any altercations. But if you know anything about chow chow breeds, they are one owner dogs and Bear can get defensive when he knows someone is trying to "do something" to him. Either it be the vet or a groomer. With alfa dogs, you have to build that relationship with them and even from the first approach it can take some time. They will not just let you take over and be okay with it. I have no problem with Bear when strangers want to pet him or when kids want to play with him. But when someone wants to "do something" to him, he knows and you have to be patient with him and let him know that everything is okay other wise he will panic. Thank you so much Daniel for taking the time out with my fur baby. He will be coming back to see you :)
