We've been taking Maya to see Latty since she was about 3 or 4 months old. She's 11 months now and very well behaved. We chose Latty because we have a Dogo Argentino which is a rare but very powerful breed and we had an actual human baby on the way too. Dogo Argentino's are known for hunting and taking down wild boar and some have been known to fight and win against Pumas and other powerful animals. So with that being said we knew that we had to train our Dogo puppy and train her well to keep her safe, learn proper etiquette around new baby and just be a great family dog. We've learned so much through Latty and our puppy responded well to his training methods. He's gentle and fun and encouraging. Latty listened to what our goals were with our Puppy and helped us reach them. What we also love about Latty is that he didn't require us to make a big commitment and that flexibility really worked for us. Basically we went once a week for an hour learned some New commands and what we needed to do to get our puppy to follow them. He stresses that you have to practice what you learn everyday during walks or on free time for our Puppy to really pick it up. It works. Consistency is key to a well balanced and well behaved dog! Also, Latty has some of the most beautiful Dobermans I've ever seen! read more

Latty is amazing!! I needed to go out of town last minute and my cousin suggested Latty to take care of my dog. He arrived within minutes to pick up my dog and take her to his house. I was a little bit nervous because she is a rescue, has separation anxiety, and doesn't get along with other dogs and viciously barks at them when I walk her. But, he helped her with that. He not only took care of her, but he helped to train her and calm her anxiety. When I came home she was much more relaxed and now doesn't bark at other dogs when we go for walks. He picks the dogs up and brings them back home. I highly recommend him for walking dogs, dog sitting, and dog training!!! :) read more

Latty is a great trainer. Within 2 months, he had our dog obeying multiple commands even from a great distance. He's also increased her confidence via agility training and she's always impressing us with ability to make great leaps over hurdles which makes our two boys love to engage with her even more. read more

I love Cooper K-9! Latty takes great care of our beautiful German shepherd who is very protective and dog aggressive. He understands her behavior so well and has successfully introduced her to other dogs. She now has friends! She has become more confident and easier to control as a result of her being with him on a regular basis. Latty is very flexible and accommodating. Everytime we leave town, we leave Nova with Cooper K-9 because we know she'll have fun and will be in a safe environment. read more

We use Latty a lot for our beautiful female German Shepherd Bird! She LOVES Latty. When he comes to pick her up she can't contain herself!! Adorable.. I trust Latty 100% to have him come in and out of our home when we are not there.. And that's important to us. She also has stayed with Latty for days at a time when we travel.... And that allows us to relax and trust that she is in great hands! We highly recommend Latty for all your walking, boarding and training needs! Thanks Latty! So cool we met that day at training in the park! :) read more

I usually don't write reviews but I had to since this dog walker never gets his due. But after reading "ONE" person's review I had to investigate. Well people if you want to trust some one with a love one, companion, family member such as your pet there could be no other person you could trust but this man. Not only do I trust him with my dog but he also has a key to my house to get him in the early mornings at 6 am. He truly "walks" and "runs" the dogs. Own a different note the person listed above that gave him a one star has a story to tell but unfortunately she told a lie. What truly happen was Latty was walking ALL of his dogs on a leash and this one person decided to walk their dog without a leash and guess what the dog is DEAF! To protect his client's dog and since the owner of the DEAF dog did not put a leash on his dog, Latty took out his pepper spray and ask to guy to get his dog. After Latty saw the dog getting aggressive at the other dogs so as he tried to walk away he had to spray the dog to prevent injuries on his dogs. NOW ME,... I would of took a stick and beat the other dog who was coming after my dog but Latty pepper sprayed to protect the health of the dogs he was walking. This person "melanie l." was not even there and did not tell even half the truth. If you want a honest person go to this man. The local PD came and took a report and the officer stated that the other person violated the on leash law and was given a ticket for it. Give this man your business and I promise it will be money well spent. Check out his site. http://cooperk9dogwalker.webs.com/ read more

Latty has become a part of my dog family. He has keys to my gates and I've found him to be very trustworthy. He takes great care of my dogs and they're always excited to see him. In fact, they know when he has arrived before I do! I have 2 Rotties, one of which is very large and dog aggressive. With his dog training experience, Latty handles him very well and reinforces the training which is a big plus! They go on long hikes and walks, sometimes for hours. So he's not just your average dog walker. His rates are reasonable and the love my dogs receive from him can't be beat. If you need a sitter he's Johnny on the spot and is always making good suggestions to make my life a bit easier. If you're looking for a responsible person to walk, hike or care for your dog the way you do, Latty is man. read more

Latty has been a great help with Athena! He's been able to get her out on walks and hikes with other dogs, which we thought would never happen. I know I can trust him to continue my dog's training. He's reliable, trustworthy, and I wouldn't trust my dog with anyone else. I also know Athena loves it as she comes home happy and tired! He's also flexible and works with me when I need to schedule a sudden walk because I need to be at work very early. It's amazing to know I always have him to call to make sure my dog is taken care of and in good hands! read more

Latty has many years of experience working with dogs of all temperaments, but rather than resting on this experience, he continues to strive to improve his education and skills. He always puts the safety and wellness of his clients' dogs (as well as his own) first, and is insured and canine first aid certified. He is responsible, compassionate, and kind. Highly recommended for training and dog-walking. read more

This post is in response to Jonathan's post below. Laddy is a expert dog trainer. Anyone with a brain would intelligently realize that his post was just a nasty attempt to hurt someone's business bc they are angry about something else in their miserable life. If you have been to this playground, the section for children is on one side, and the dogs are on a completely different side. As a Mother myself, having the dogs on a leash while doing obedience and agility training isn't a threat, but a treat to watch! The dogs have zero desire to disrupt the children. In fact, a child who observes us and some love to watch, can learn how to care for an animal which is a good thing. The child that day saw its own Mother act crazy and it was such a shame. I almost put the leash on her. There was never any threat. She asserted herself and came over to us because you could tell she was trying to start problems. When the woman approached us, and Jonathan you should feel really ashamed that that's your wife because she need some mental health and physical health help. You aren't doing your job as her husband. Never has any dog in that park under Laddy's guidance, ever hurt a child. Laddy is a expert!! Anyone lucky enough to find him would know this and anyone around him while he trains also would realize this and would know there is zero threat. This is some lame attempt to hurt someone's business bc they are miserable in their own lives and have nothing better to do. I'm sure anyone who reads this can see very clear what happened here. And if not then come see Laddy train the dogs for yourself. read more

Re: the pepper spray incident: This reviewer presents a very one-sided view of an event in which the dog walker in question did act very responsibly to protect the dogs in his care. I think the other reviews confirm that Latty is indeed a compassionate and knowledgeable professional. Of course Yelp is a forum where people write their opinions, but this seems to me to be bordering on defamation of character. It would be tragic if someone who cares more about dogs than anyone I know were to lose business because of it. read more

Latty has helped my 20 month old silver lab, Coco with her leash manners so-o-o-o much!! My husband and I can't believe the difference since he has been working with her! Latty and I walk 3-4 miles with her twice a week and her behavior has greatly improved. He is he is helping me gain my confidence in walking her and having her not react to other dogs which is amazing. Life changing for me!!! The best. read more

Latty is truly an incredible dog trainer. Other trainers were not able to give clear direction as well as a consistent program to properly train our dog. Latty works with your dogs issues and teaches you methods that work. He understands your dog, your challenges, etc., and will work with you to make sure you see results. He puts in the time, sweat and training side by side with you. I highly recommend Cooper K-9 to anyone who really wants to train their dog and does not just want a few gimmicks. read more

I have known Latty for many years and I have seen him work with all types of dogs. He has a very pleasant personality and is very patient with dogs. If you have a dog that gets to crazy when you come home and you don't have the time to vent out his energy, hire Latty, he will calm your dog down. As a plus, he is an experience dog trainer too! read more

This review is long overdue. Latty of Go Dog Go! has been taking Nikolai, my Siberian Husky, on walks/runs twice a week for the past few years. Every Tuesday and Thursday, rain or shine, Latty arrives to take Nikolai out. Nikolai runs to the door with his tail wagging when he hears the knock, clearly happy that he's going with his "friend." He comes back tired and happy. Latty's years of experience are clearly evident by the way he handles my dog. What also is evident is the love he has for animals, I know that love is mutual when I see the way my pup looks up at him as they're leaving for their "adventure." Latty is a great person, flexible with my schedule and superb at his job. I know that Nikolai is getting the exercise and care he needs while spending time with someone who truly cares about him. I'm looking forward to a long lasting relationship! Five stars! read more

This review is also long overdue! I can guarantee that you will not regret hiring Latty. Like another reviewer said, he shows up consistently, rain or shine. He is a wonderful, caring, and cheerful person, but also extremely professional. My dogs come home so happy from their ventures with Latty. They have even stayed with him overnight. I've tried numerous dog walkers before, and found them pretty incompetent. My dogs and I are so blessed to have finally found Latty! read more

I LOVE Latty! More important, my dog Emily LOVES Latty! Emily can hear him coming from down the street and she gets soo excited. He walks her every day which gives me peace of mind because when I return from home she is tired out and happy. I can't recommend him highly enough. THE BEST! and very trustworthy. Also does overnights which is great! read more

Latty is the best dog walker I have ever had - and I've had several. I have a German shepherd who I have trained extensively but she still could not be with other dogs without growling and showing aggression. After going with Latty to the canyons to hike for several months, my shepherd, Star, has developed much better social skills and loves playing with other dogs. Latty has extensive experience in dog training. That makes him a much better walker than others. If you have trained your dog he will reinforce your training. If not , your dog benefit from Latty's dog training skills. I would highly recommend Latty for dog walking for any dog - big small trained or untrained. read more

Latty is the absolute best choice for a dog walker in Los Angeles. He is dependable, trustworthy, and goes out of his way to be helpful. He is wonderful with my Doberman Pincher, always patient, kind and in control. I wouldn't trust my dog to anyone else! read more

Absolutely The Best Dog Walking Service in Los Angeles!!!! O.M.G. how can I express all the great things about Latty Cooper (Cooper K-9)?! First of all, he's such an amazing person. He's extremely intuitive as a person, which makes him excellent with the dogs. His set up is professional, seamless and painless for me as a Pet Parent. He handled my cocker spaniel with extreme care and compassion. If you're going to need to board a dog, board em with Cooper K-9. Latty boarded my cocker spaniel for two weeks...with care. I cannot recommend Cooper K-9 enough. He just made my ordeal less painless. Also, Latty showed up early, on time, took initiative and was equipped with everything my dog needed, leashes, bowls extra food. Latty asked if my dog had a special diet and what or if he had any allergies; essentially he wanted to know all about my dog. My dog came back happy and healthy, just the way he went. All in all...Cooper K-9 was good to my dog and I was right to trust him. Latty himself is sincere and no worries he's got commercial insurance and his prices are reasonable, unlike a lot of other services... read more
