I work at PetSmart (can't stand it) and that is life. Cashiers aren't always paying attention, depending on the time they are either swamped with customers, stocking treats, cleaning, etc. That also goes for everyone else that is working.
Though the dog should have been escorted out or given a leash.

I also work at Petsmart (as well as being a photographer) and i can safely say Petsmart doesnt know crap. I've worked at two stores now and everyone only knows as much as they are trained. I work in Pet Care as a lead and most of our employes hardly know anything about small animals, customer service half of them dont know hardly anything, one pet train literally talks to other associates while she is supposed to be training her class, her training methods are "your so cute heres a treat" as to our other trainer ive had to correct alot of what he has told customers, especially on bully breeds.

As to the dog that was in your Petsmart, it happens often. Fortunately the store i work at currently is decent about making sure all dogs are leashed but still depending on who works depends on what gets in forced.

To a degree training your dog at Petsmart is helpful and useful, i for one, wouldnt train either of my pups there and neither would my girlfriend (her dogs too and she works there as well lol) and thats saying alot since associates get a free class.

We are doing well at training both of ours but if we ever did need training wed seek other alternatives. I can go into more details but i didnt want to write a book on a reply.

Yikes!! What a moron!! What if that dog had gotten loose? And attacked another animal or a person? Could Petsmart also be at blame, since they didn't enforce the leash policy?

So thankful our local Petsmart isn't that way. There's rarely any dogs in the one we go to, which is kind of weird. The fish dept is always slammed, but only a handful of times have I ever encountered another dog in there. Oh well, more treats and lovin for Peyton!

Yes, if a dog bit your dog and the dog wasnt on leash, in short, you can blame petsmart. Of course it depends on the situation as to whether youd really have a case but yeah.
