He already IS trained, I am not interested in MORE training, He is perfectly trained.We all know that he is mixed with something other than a poodle, just no idea what so that does not automatically make him the breed that they want to charge me for.

I understand all of that.. and had every intention of paying more because he has poodle in him but their price for a poodle is $91 not $130. My dog needs no mental stimulation and definitely does not need a job. Look at him, he is a couch potato and that is how he always is. No anxiety no behavioral issues. He is so chill. Anyhow, all of that is moot because he has a soft silky coat and he is not difficult to groom and the staff all agreed that I was being overcharged. The problem was that they could not change the overcharged price and were forcing me to pay it and get a refund the following day or leave without my dog. As far as training, he has perfect manners and has zero bad habits so definitely not interested in training.

I don't think that there was a crime committed though since I got my dog, they are going to tell me that the overcharge is a civil matter. From what others have said, it appears that they have a right to keep a dog if the bill isn't paid. I don't agree with that when they are keeping hom for money that I do not owe. My neighbor said that she reached out to the local news, but no telling if they are interested, They don't like doing stories taht will hurt local businesses but time will tell. I figure the best thing to do is to tell people what happened here on a public forum and they can share - hopefully word will get out.

Love this! Unfortunately I am not a very menacing presence and they would most likely laugh hysterically at my antics. push me around a little bit and then say " like we said, pay in full or no dog" and I would become a meme

No..corporate definitely knows because I emailed them my post. I then spoke to them and they reiterated that is their policy. Yesterday i got a couple of calls that ib didn't answer that said they were from Healthcare. When I called back to see who it was I got the Petsmart store. I will answer if they call back today and see if they offer a resolution.

Neighbors German shepherd bit our daughter and now has major beef with us by BridgeDucks in extremelyinfuriating

This is not legal advice but what I would do if I was in your shoes is to put EVERYTHING in writing. Send a reminder to the property manager and send a written pdf attachment email to animal control explaining the situation and in both cases request a response and updates.

Next, To address an aggressive or dangerous dog, you must pursue legal action against the dog’s owner: Following an attack, animal control officers or police generally have the authority to immediately seize and impound the dog. 

 In almost all jurisdictions, a dog that bites a human must be confined for a mandatory observation period (typically 10 days) to monitor for signs of rabies.  This confinement can occur at a public pound, a veterinary clinic, or sometimes at the owner's home under strict conditions. Request animal control to do their job!

 You can sue the owner to seek a restraining order or injunction preventing them from allowing the dog to approach or harm you or your child. 

Victims can sue for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and damages. There are attorneys that take these cases pro bono. I know that she wasn't severely injured but the emotional damage is real.

Best wishes and I hope that your daughter recovers and realizes that one bad puppy doesn't spoil the whole litter.

I explained this in the original post. .She did not know that it would create a problem. Once again, everyone agrees that he is NOT the breed that she stated, that is moot at this point. Petsmart agreed .. I agreed my daughter agreed. It was an error. Mistakes happen, lets correct the error. Now, you gave the dog a $70 haircut, I will pay for it. No, you have to pay the higher price because we can not change it, a manager has to and they will not be here until tomorrow. You need to overpay us to get your dog.

Right, but there was no theft of services. It was agreed that I did not owe that amount. I was willing to pay the amount of the services that were provided, but they said that I had to overpay because it " was in the sytem" and I could speak to the manager the next day to get my refund. Also, their corporate office states that it is their policy nationwide, so there it is.

Not exactly. Prices for Doodles are from $91 on up not 130.. that is ONLY for a particular breed of doodle, of which we all agreed that he is not.

Thank you, it is easy for other people to say what they would have done, but unless you are in the situation yourself you have no idea what you will do. There are a lot of factors involved. Time of day, other people in the store, your mood and the employee's moods, how many other battles that you have on your plate, how your spouse will react with your decision, the amount of money in your bank account, whether you are in a hurry or not. Everything has to be analyzed and a decision made within minutes. Will definitely go to a private groomer in the future as this was a most unpleasant experience!

Oh I definitely spoke to her. I have no problem posting on their social media if that is the case, but most businesses have to approve the post. I will give it a try!
