Did you know you can get a picture of your dog with Santa Paws???

Petsmart is having their Paws & Claus event on Dec 16th and 17th, from 12-3pm, at every location.

Click on the link below, choose your preferred location, schedule your appointment, and bring your pup and family for a FREE photo with Santa.

Then, to make sure they stay off the Naughty list you can sign up for a training class where you and your pup learn together the basics of dog training.

Like I mentioned, the photo event is happening at every petsmart, BUT, the best trainer around is in the Reston Spectrum Center location (that would be ME! 😊)

Happy Howlidays everyone!

Note: Hours for Services (Grooming, PetsHotel and Training) and Holidays may vary. Please see store details or contact the store for more information.

😅🤝 Sound familiar? Does your dog ignore you on walks, refuse to come in from the garden, or run off at the dog park without giving you a second thought? 🤝😅

📢🍰 Recall is one of the most common dog training struggles we see at absoluteDOGS, and we like to think that building a solid, whiplash recall is just like baking a spectacular cake. It's not about the icing or the cherry on top, it’s all about that super delicious foundation layer! 🍰📢
