    We are very happy and grateful to be the newly accepted member of Colin's pack. Spencer LOVES his pack hikes - he comes home super happy and content (and VERY tired). I so appreciate how intentional, methodical and thoughtful Colin is with the whole process - from the dog meet and greet to dog's temperament. His analysis is on point. Most importantly, Colin's attention to each dog during the hike is so reassuring - i feel secure knowing that Spencer is in capable hands.

    We are obsessed with Colin's Pack! We have a chocolate lab that's been hiking with Colin for about a year now. Our dog waits by the front door when we put on her collar because she knows that Colin is coming and she gets very excited. My husband and I both work a lot and it makes us feel so much better that we never have to stress about Peppa getting enough socialization or exercise. It's also really fun to see the photos and videos of the hikes on Colin's instagram. As soon as you talk to Colin you can tell how genuinely passionate he is about the dog/human connection and it's so nice knowing that our dog is always in good hands and having the best tiem. Literally don't know what we would do without Colin- he's the best!

    Colin is the best! My dog, Dolly, and I moved back from Kauai in Dec 2023. She was used to having quite a bit of freedom and was a bit wild. Colin and the other dogs on her pack walks taught her how to play in a pack. She's so much better behaved and ridiculously happy. Colin is also a true professional, and I trust him immensely with my furry little girl!

    Colin is absolutely brilliant with his packs. My 2 year old malinois rescue loves him.

    Before we found Colin, our dog had gone on a pack hike with another operator who was not at all in tune with the dogs.

    Where do I even begin with this review?!…read more When we first reached out to Leonard, we were completely at our wit's end with our dog. She's a six year old Portuguese Water Dog with a ton of energy and was EXTREMELY leash reactive, constantly overstimulated by everything around her on walks. Despite wanting her to come everywhere with us, taking her out felt dreadful & exhausting. I always dreamed of having a dog I could take to a coffee shop, sit, relax, answer emails, and just enjoy being out together. But that felt completely out of reach for us. I knew something had to change, I just didn't know where to start. That's when I found Dominant Dogs and came across Leonard Ludovico. I was hesitant, but after our initial consultation, he gave us confidence that things could improve. He recommended his three week boot camp, and we decided to trust the process! By the two week mark, I was already blown away. By the time we picked her up at three weeks, it truly felt like we had a completely different dog. Walking her is now easy. Being outside with her feels fun, freeing, and effortless, something I never thought I'd say. What really stood out is that this training wasn't just about changing our dog, it changed me too. Leonard helped shift how I showed up, not only with my dog, but in how I approach interactions more broadly. I truly cannot recommend Leonard enough. This was hands down the best money we've ever spent, and we absolutely plan to work with him again in the future. Thank you, Leonard, for everything. Your work is one-of-a-kind, and we're so grateful!!!

    We cannot recommend Leonard enough. He worked incredibly well with our labradoodle, who struggled…read morewith both dog aggression and people aggression, and the transformation has been amazing. What really sets Leonard apart is how much he helps you understand your relationship with your dog. He teaches you how to lead with confidence and take ownership of the environment so your dog doesn't feel like they have to. That shift alone was huge for us. From day one, Leonard was thoughtful and intentional--he really wanted to make sure we were committed, which I respected so much given how much time and energy he pours into each dog. After our boot camp consult, he told us that if it went well, he'd take our dog that same day--and he did. The change started immediately, and now the difference in our dog's behavior (both at home and out in public) is truly night and day--in the best way. Leonard treats every dog like his own. The level of care, structure, and consistency he provides is exactly what we should have done from the start. We had worked with three other trainers before him, and unfortunately none were effective--some even made the aggression worse. Leonard's approach was the only one that truly worked. His boot camp is absolutely worth the investment. We are so grateful for everything he's done and hope to work with him again for future dogs. Our dog is happier, more relaxed, and more confident--and so are we. Thank you, Leonard. We genuinely miss seeing you on the weekends and learning from your perspective on both dogs and life.

    After three weeks of in-home board and training with Heather at OffLeash SoCal, I can confidently…read moresay that the progress our dog Xavier has made has been incredible. Prior to training, Xavier struggled with leash pulling, jumping, excessive barking, anxiety, and maintaining focus when he was excited. He could also be quite stubborn. After working with Heather, he now understands and responds to structured commands such as heel, break, heel-to-sit, heel-to-extended sit, and heel-to-down and what impressed us most was how receptive and engaged he was with her commands during the handoff session. Heather's approach is firm but kind, extremely structured, and highly intentional. She took the time to tailor the training to Xavier's personality rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Throughout the entire stay, she was also very communicative, providing daily updates through a dedicated blog, along with photos or videos and details about how much he was eating each day. That level of transparency made it easy to trust that Xavier was not only being trained, but genuinely cared for. When Xavier was returned to us, Heather conducted a formal, hands-on training session with my cousin and me to ensure we understood everything he had learned. She was patient, thorough, and happy to reiterate techniques as needed, which made us feel confident continuing the training at home. While we know ongoing reinforcement will be important especially since not everyone was present for the initial return; we feel well-equipped thanks to her guidance. Most importantly, we trusted Heather completely with Xavier and would absolutely leave him in her care again. I would strongly recommend Heather and OffLeash SoCal to anyone looking for a trainer who is professional, compassionate, and truly invested in long-term results.

We're so grateful for the positive changes heather has brought into our home. Thank you!

    We highly recommend working with Dee for any and all dog needs!…read moreWe rescued a 10 month old puppy this spring and added her to our family with two other dogs and a cat. Within the first week we discovered our new member was extremely anxious (she escaped once and was gone for hours), was up through the night and not housebroken. This prompted us to connect with Dee where we collaborated on our goals together, and set our focus on reducing anxiety, potty and crate training, and teaching hand signals to keep our pup from bolting out the door. Two months later, we are THRILLED to report that our puppy's anxiety levels are down dramatically, she is 99% potty trained, fully crate trained and sleeping through the night and not a single attempt at an escape. An added bonus is seeing the benefit all of this has had on our other dogs and how quickly the puppy and cat were able to integrate. We did our meetings with Dee over FaceTime, starting at 3 to 4 times a week, and naturally decreasing as Dee's program was so effective. Dee is extremely knowledgeable, provides clear instruction, and has a way of explaining situations from a dog's perspective that makes it easy to understand the interventions. Scheduling time with her was easy. We greatly appreciated her being firm about following guidelines because it kept us on track. However, she is also understanding and flexible when we expressed needing adjustments based on our own lifestyle or goals for our family. We have a calm and cohesive family and are beyond grateful for Dee who was integral in this process.

But the most amazing experience was when my dog Ros was grieving the death of another of my dogs. She wouldn't get up and go out. She was so depressed I could barely get her to potty or eat. It was breaking my heart. Dee was so concerned and patient and attentive, helping me understand how to give Ros choice and not make her feel pushed while still encouraging her to participate in life again. Within two days she had come out from under my desk and started interacting with me and the other dogs. I will always be so grateful to Dee for helping her!

It had been almost a year since we last boarded but Ethan helped us get acclimated to the new policies and was super accommodating, even working with me on pick-up when my return flight was delayed.

They also regularly update with photos and emails to keep you in the loop which is very reassuring. Loki loves it there and is always wiped out when she returns. (She's been napping all day.

Unfortunately, this place was a HUGE disappointment and had a huge negative impact on our pup. Long story short -- Everything here is a sales grab. The few girls care for the animals but the "managers" and men there are just there for the commission of your packages. I had a whole conversation about their unethical sales pitching with the employee while picking up my dog lol. It's "how they keep the place open" - the employee's words, not mine. Astounding. Said employee also asked what I did for a living because I questioned their sales pitch tactics -- I'm in sales. Also, If you need their VIP services for your unspayed or neutered pup, please spend your money elsewhere!! Before committing to a membership, we did a trial day and spent hundreds on drop in days, grooming, and overnight boarding to see if it was a good fit for our high energy pup. Our dog is not neutered and we don't plan on getting him neutered so we chose their VIP rooms. His breed is also extremely high energy and they promised they could accommodate. I also inquired about training multiple times and they kept saying the trainer would contact me. Everything went great after those few visits, they seemed caring and said he was a great fit for a membership so we end up signing up. Then everything went downhill. Upon the first day of the membership, our dog all of a sudden had behavior issues and needed to be picked up. In the middle of my work day I call the shift manager, and he states that if we want our dog to stay, he needs training ... (from their same trainer that I've inquired 3x about before committing to a membership, still haven't heard back). I asked why this wasn't communicated ever before committing to a membership and they didn't have an answer. I informed them that I would've paid for training before committing to a membership if they would've let me know that there were any issues. Our dog went a couple of more times until they could finally get me in touch with the trainer, 6 visits later. Actually I had lost complete trust at this facility. To add insult to injury, I was able to speak to one of their actual workers that is with the dogs and she let me know that our dog is only let out for about 10 minutes at a time, maybe 3 to 4 times a day during a 12 hour stay. This is their VIP option. So not only is he left in a room for about 12 hours a day, with dogs barking all around him, he's not being stimulated nor played with just being let out to go to the bathroom. Contradicting everything they say that they offer. Their "trainer" is also a joke. He is supposed to be from the Marines and well-versed in the breed of dog that we have. Upon washing him for 5 minutes, as I was told, he said that our dog needed to be neutered before he could be trained because of his energy. Our dog is a Malinois and is not supposed to be neutered before 2 years of age. We've since went elsewhere to get our dog trained from someone who is actually educated on his breed and he's worked on all of his anxiety and reactivity issues that our pup got because of this place.
