    Our dog, Kit, leading a pack with Adventure Dog LA.

    We love Adventure Dog LA! Our dog, Kit, is much more well behaved at home, and gets excited when she knows she's about to visit her friends again. We trust Adventure Dog LA to know what's best for Kit and help her grow and socialize. When we'd board Kit at other facilities, she'd come home extremely exhausted for days on end. With Adventure Dog LA, she's tired, but I can tell she's had meaningful rest and dolled out play. I also love that she's taken on hikes and has now graduated to being off leash! Nothing but great things to say about Adventure Dog LA!

    Ok, hi. I'm a micromanaging, helicopter dog parent with extremely detailed training goals and very specific requests. This is my sixth year going back to William, and for good reason--he's simply the best. The level of personalization and expertise William brings is phenomenal. Next level. This isn't just dog training--William listens, adapts, and curates an approach that works for your dog and your goals. I have multiple dogs with completely different needs, and William has been incredible at tailoring training & daycare for each one. Just tell him what you want to achieve, and he'll get you there. Out of the 6 trainers I've worked with over the years, William's methods are the ONLY ones that stand the test of time. I've gone to William for private training, dog hiking, daycare, and boarding. Every single time, he's been professional, reliable, and exactly the kind of person you want to trust with your dog. He's also very punctual, very helpful when I need help the most, and quite funny. I strongly, strongly recommend AdventureDogLA and William. I still remember scouring Yelp for dog trainers years ago--so if that's you right now, let me save you the trouble: This. Is. The. One. And honestly? Writing reviews takes forever. If this wasn't phenomenally good, I wouldn't even bother.

    We have been using William for a while now and we (including my dog) are super happy. Williams takes my dog on weekly hikes and boards her when we need. I have no complaints and will continue to use his services.

    I think my dog Sydney has more fun with William! William is a dog expert and provides a safe environment for enrichment, training, play and downtime. His experience is vast and I'm a better dog owner because of it. I feel confident that Sydney is in the best hands with William and Adventure DogLa.

    William is an absolute godsend. Any time I travel, and leave my 2 year old English bulldog with him for training and boarding, I have zero anxiety. Chauncey has the time of his life- he gets excellent training by William, lots of exercise, and socialization with other lovely pups. It is remarkable to witness the absolute control that William has over dogs- he leads the pack calmly and kindly, and the dogs adore him. My favorite added bonus is receiving all sorts of photos and videos from William of the dogs playing, training, and hiking

    My dog Nala loves Adventure Dog LA, William has trained her and taken care of her when we have been out of town. I don't trust people easily but I fully trust him with Nala and her well being. He is always in full control of all the dogs he has in his care it's just amazing to see!

    Bubba has been part of William's pack for 5 years and counting. We found William when Bubba was 8 months and showing behaviors of over excitement, leash pulling, and vocal interactions with other dogs. Through William's training, I'm confident with Bubba's off leash and recall skills anywhere! He loves his weekly daycare dates where William will take the pack to the park, hiking, and even to Whole Foods! Boarding is an excellent option and we're relaxed knowing Bubba is in a safe environment while getting structured playtime, training, and extra pets. We can't recommend William enough!

    I have never written a Yelp review before but my experience here has changed my mind. Over the years I have had many dogs, trainer, and boarding. Adventure Dog LA is like no other. My dog Maude always comes back happier, tired, and more trained. I always get compliments on how well behaved my dog is and I fully credit William. In addition, recently when my oldest child was having a serious surgery, William did not hesitate to show up for Maude and me above and beyond. I could not recommend him more.

    Happy Dog

I will never use them again after my TERRIBLE experience. Initially used this service for a short business trip with success so tried again for a longer trip to see family between Christmas and NYE. The company sent a sitter I had never met who incorrectly used the pill injector on my sick, elderly cat and forced her to swallow the over inch-long applicator tip. Resulted in $3,000 emergency vet surgery to remove that I had to manage from out of town. So deeply stressful for me but mainly my poor elderly asthmatic cat!! They handled it but SO unnecessary and only happened bc of their bizarre business model where they pick whichever of their employees are available, not someone who knows your house/pet. So if you get one who knows what they're doing you don't necessarily get them again - it's totally random from the customer's perspective. Instead of enjoying my family I had to spend the time managing the emergency they created from afar, stressed and fuming that I trusted this company to send someone competent to care for my sweet older cat. After the first disastrous pill delivery issue they sent the **same person** again a day later who clearly doesn't know how to give a cat medication and she, again, incorrectly gave my cat her medication!!! My cat gets ill if she misses just one day, the medication is a high-dose steroid for her asthma. The employee did not know how to give her the pill, but still marked the medication as administered on their form (I only figured out it didn't happen when I read the notes) and instead of giving her the pill rubbed it on her gums -?!? I am FURIOUS for my poor cat and at the incompetence of this employee they continue to use, along with the management that assured me they know how to give cats medication and yet still sent this individual out after it was proved that they cannot give a cat medication effectively. The other employees seemed to be ok but I had no choice over who they sent over, meaning every visit was a gamble. If you need anything beyond the most basic service, avoid avoid avoid!!!

    This review update is loooong overdue. We've been customers of Sitters4Paws for over 6 years now…read moreand they're just fantastic!! The sitters care for our fur babies so lovingly - we always travel with such peace of mind knowing our boys are looked after so well. They have an app now which makes communication even easier - they send emails/messages and many photos with every visit. The sitters follow any instructions very well - we used to have an elderly cat that needed medications and they took care of it no problems! Making reservations for visits in their app is so easy and they approve them very quickly or reach out if there are any issues or questions. They get very busy around major holidays but always make sure to give us a heads up before things get full - above and beyond! On our first visit, a manager came out to the house and met our pets and set us up with a very solid lock box for the house key that the sitters use to enter and exit. They check the mail and will water plants if needed too. They always give our boys so much love and treats and make sure they get some play time in every visit. They fill their food bowls, top off the water fountain, scoop the litter, and even sweep up! Great service! Their prices have gone up quite a bit since we first signed up - but what hasn't nowadays? Lol - their prices are comparable to other sitting companies locally and it's worth it for the peace of mind we get - huge ty to all our sitters and to Sitters4Paws for all your love and care!

    My wife and I have gone to three different dog trainers, and we think Alden has been the best dog…read moretrainer so far! We HIGHLY Recommend this guy! Firstly this guy knows dogs! He understands what works for different kinds of doggos and their personalities. He also is super nice, friendly, and helpful when you are working with him. You can tell he loves what he does. He knows why things work or don't work in dog training and why one trainer or place my recommend one thing vs why it might be different for your doggo. We have a large doggy named Milo and he kept nipping and jumping on people. Play biting and jumping for bigger dogs is difficult because we have older parents and his jumping and nipping could hurt them. We also have a newborn baby we were worried that our doggo would be rough with him since he kept rough playing, nipping/biting, and jumping on us. HOWEVER, with Alden's support we saw a sudden and quick decrease in our doggos behaviors. To all you dog owners out there looking for good and well-rounded training THIS IS THE GUY! Alden is very honest and even though we pushed for possibly doing boarding 2-week training he told us our doggo didn't need it and didn't want to push it on us. My wife and I really love working with him and hope to continue to have him there for our doggos life trainings! We recommend him 5-stars. Thanks Alden!

Alden is knowledgeable when it comes to training tactics and can adjust based on each individual dog's needs. Additionally he handles leash training with ease even with the most rowdy dogs. I highly recommend Alden for both training and boarding services.

So I did some research and came across "Obedience, Please!" I was thrilled! I had been joking that, in honor of Taylor swift, we were going to do a "Life of a Showdog" film once I got her trained. So to find out Howie trained dogs for show biz back in the day?! What a dream. Being part boarder collie, the training was much more difficult than I had previously been hoping for on my own. Despite (and maybe because of) her incredible intelligence, she also has a tremendous amount of energy, and love to give. With my chronic condition it was just becoming too much. She's been in the program for seven weeks, has taken a huge liking to David and behaves beautifully with him. I'm nervous to have her on my own but she just graduated today and I am so much more confident! She listens like spring and she talks like June, my sweet baby angel. I've been singing to her "she's a maniac" but swapped it out with "brainiac" all afternoon: lovin' it. We have already been practicing the commands at home and plan to be diligent about continuing education. Thank you, David, for your hard work, determination and diligence with her training. You clearly care very much about this work and these dogs. Aphrodite has seen great improvement since I first dropped her off and I couldn't be more grateful. And Howie, thank you for carrying on this work for a lifetime and building such a valuable practice and team. I will always be impressed by you and your work. Sincerely, Montana

Needless to say he had never had any training whatsoever. Within a few sessions he was sitting, staying, and coming on command.
