We definitely recommend Andi! We originally reached out to Andi for consultations regarding both of our Maltipoos, Kiki and Coco. During our initial phone consultation, Andi was incredibly honest and genuine. After learning more about our dogs, she felt that Kiki was the one who would benefit most from formal training and suggested that we could apply what we learned with Kiki to Coco as well. We really appreciated that she didn't try to upsell us on training for both dogs when she easily could have. That immediately showed us how much she genuinely cares about helping dogs and their families. At the time, Kiki was about six months old and was extremely reactive to just about everything in the outside world. We were looking for someone whose methods aligned with our values, and we loved Andi's positive reinforcement approach. Kiki completed Andi's six-week program, and the growth we've seen has been incredible. What sets Andi apart is that she isn't focused solely on teaching dogs tricks or obedience commands. She truly cares about each dog's emotional well-being and how they're feeling throughout the process. We learned so much--not just about Kiki, but about ourselves as dog owners. Andi helped us understand how our own behaviors and responses can shape our dogs, which was eye-opening and incredibly valuable. Of course, the work doesn't stop when the training sessions end. It takes consistency and ongoing practice at home, but Andi gave us the tools and confidence to continue building on Kiki's progress. The effort has been absolutely worth it. One of the best parts is that we were able to use many of the same training methods with our older Maltipoo, Coco, and she learned and benefited from them as well. Andi actively encouraged this, which we really appreciated. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and ethical trainer who truly puts dogs' well-being first, we wholeheartedly recommend Andi and Diamond Dog Training. read more

I cannot recommend Andi enough! She worked with our two golden Labrador puppies and, from our initial call, took the time to walk us through her training philosophy, courses, and our goals. Our main issue was walking and pulling on leash. After our six-week training course, our pups improved tremendously. Not only do they no longer pull on walks, but the other techniques Andi shared have also improved our communication with our dogs. Andi is incredibly patient and has a straightforward, easy-to-follow way of explaining things. She followed up after every session with detailed notes and references, which made a huge difference .Again, I cannot recommend Andi and Diamond Dogs Training enough. read more

Andi was great to work with. She is so knowledgeable and great with our puppy. She followed up each lesson with class notes and activities we could use on our pup. She was also very accommodating with our hectic schedule. I would recommend Andi for your puppy training needs. read more

Andi is awesome! When we first got our 5 month old puppy, we wanted to make sure that her interactions with our existing cats were safe and friendly. Andi gave us a lot of tips to help in addition to helping her with general obedience. Our puppy has come a long way and loved Andi. I definitely recommend Diamond Dogs Training. read more

I had a great experience with Manny Alonso of Diamond Dogs Dog Training , training my 3 year old male Yorkie rescue. Because of my dog's background, he needed to be house broken, leash trained and other things I had not even thought of. Makes life with " Chip" so much easier! Because of Manny, I now have a well trained dog, and I am a well trained dog owner! Well worth it! read more

I was concerned with my newly adopted dog growling and chasing my grandchildren. I contacted Andi and we were able to schedule 6 week training. Andi is so knowledgeable and obviously loves what she does! She helped out so much with my dog, Momo, who now doesn't growl or chase my grandchildren! Momo was very reactive to everything and Andi taught me strategies to help her. I would definitely recommend Diamond Dogs Training! read more

Andi is wonderful! We started with her from the beginning with training our 8 week old puppy. She helped us so much! Even though we had to take a couple of weeks to start, I called her or texted her with concerns and she always answered me. She is very positive. She explains everything very well and makes sure our questions are answered. She also sends an email with homework and explanations. Her training just makes sense! I highly recommend Andi! read more

Andi is phenomenal and patient! She has helped problem solve and teach us how to train our French Bulldog puppy. We recently fostered, then adopted a 4.5 month old puppy and knew that we wanted to properly train him asap. We did her 6 week puppy training session and we have signed up for 2 additional sessions to follow up. She's helped support us and sends "homework" after each class with activities to work on with our puppy. We'd happily recommend her to everyone. read more

I cannot recommend Andi enough! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Junie has some pretty bad fear reactivity and from where we started (constant barking to any movement or approach) to being able to check in pretty consistently while allowing novel things to happen is truly such a gift. We have a looong way to go still but Andi's gentle approach and individualized homework was such a great and easy structure to follow! We will be working with Andi again in the future! Andi keeps up to date on the science of animal behavior! Thank you Andi for all of your guidance with Junie. We will certainly be back to continue our progress! read more

If you are looking for a dog trainer, Andy is one of the best! read more

Andi was so helpful, we did the 6 week puppy training. Our dog Chip progressed so fast. She came over for an hour once a week and then we had "homework" it's not that demanding a few times a day for only a 10 minutes or so. We're a pretty busy family but we're still able to do most of the training. Thanks Andi, we will definitely be recommending you! read more

Andi is fantastic! We loved her energy. She is so good with our 9 month old puppy. She has helped me understand why my puppy does what he does and how to address the issues. One of our first tasks was to teach him his name. The week isn't even over and he absolutely knows his name. We are so glad we hired Diamond Dogs Training. We look forward to having a well trained and social pup. read more

Oh my goodness I truly cannot say enough good things about Andi. She has been a miracle worker and such a joy to work with. We booked her for the 6 week puppy training basics course, and my pup is so much more well behaved thanks to her. In addition to having a weekly syllabus and weekly homework, she was able to help out and answer any random issue/question I had about my Biggie boy. She's truly a dog whisperer, and is incredibly knowledgable when it comes to training them. I was having major potty training issues, with accidents even as my dog passed 7 months, and she helped give me tips that nearly transformed him overnight! If you need a dog translator for you and your pup, please book her! You and your furry friend will learn so much. read more

Andi is very compassionate, kind, and a good listener. We met 3 out of 6 sessions. After the 3rd, I was frustrated because I was both overwhelmed and felt I needed more hands on training with my dog. She was very professional by stating that I would probably need to contact a Behaviorist. We did not complete our agreed upon sessions but feel it was for the best. read more

Andi is amazing with dogs. She is used positive reinforcement, but also aware every dog is not the same. She gives you a variety of training tools, and she writes out the steps every week in a weekly "homework" email. She was amazing and recommend her 10"%. read more

I absolutely recommend Andy is amazing and she taught us how to positively communicate with our baby Charlie Brown. Everyone marvels on how good she is. I wish everyone used her method of training. read more

We just wanted to let you know, Andi, how pleased with are with your training methods. Jordyn (a 5 year old rescue beagle) was rescued with the help Priceless Pets about 4 months ago. She's a wonderful, sweet tempered dog, but had never had any formal training and was a real puller. With your help, we learned along with Jordyn and now are quite confident that we can take her pretty much anywhere. Your help has been invaluable, and we always take that opportunity to sing your praises. Thanks again, and we will be calling you again to further Jordyn's training. read more

Andi is amazing! My puppy and I learned so much with her puppy pre-k that I extended to basic obedience. It's really helpful watching someone demonstrate the cue and then coach you, because timing is everything. She came once a week so she got to see my dog where he was most comfortable but also the aspects in which I needed help. The one hour goes by so fast but she sends notes, homework, tips, and relevant videos so you can refresh your memory and work on it throughout the week. Using positive reinforcement was gentle but super effective, even for a rowdy 12 week old puppy. She addressed everything from crate training, separation anxiety, puppy biting/mouthing, and so much more. It's never too late to train a dog but I'm so glad I got an early start. Thank you, Mittens, my slippers and I are forever grateful! read more

So I recently got a Rottweiler and he was a little fresh puppy my dad breeds them so I got myself a dog because recently around 2020 I lost my other dog so I took a year off and I got another dog. I was searching and searching for a private dog trainer and I found Andi and I did six weeks with her one time a week which was very very reasonable price and very worth it. She came and taught me a lot of new things for my dog and I definitely appreciate her I didn't continue only because holiday was approaching and just money was very tight but I will definitely recommend her to a lot of new customers that are looking for a weasel prices and at home dog training in the Long Beach Orange County area. read more

I found Andi on Yelp and she responded on the same day. We scheduled a phone consultation and I decided that she would be a great fit for my puppy. The 6 weeks flew by. We wish that Andi could come every week because our puppy absolutely adores her! Andi uses 100% positive reinforcement training and our puppy responded very well to it. She was also great with my whole family, who sat in on most trainings (highly encouraged). My puppy was play biting a lot, and now, he is an absolute angel. He only licks us now! He also used to bite our shoelaces but Andi taught us some techniques to deter him from biting things. I must say, consistent training really led to some amazing results, and my puppy is only 4 months old. He has a lot more training to do, but Andi really set a great foundation for his learning. I will always recommend Andi to anyone needing a trainer! read more

My puppy just finished her 6 week puppy training with Andi! During this time, Andi taught us how to sit, down, stay, wait, leash walking, go to your place and gave us helpful tips/advices on other issues we were having with the puppy. I took the class with my puppy's best friend and at times, the class could be difficult because they were rowdy and I'm sure it was hard for Andi to try to teach us, but she always very patient about it. Overall, Andi was very helpful and thorough with everything! Andi was always very kind and our puppy loved her. You can tell Andi truly loves dogs and just wants your puppy to be the best they can be. Thank you, Andi! read more

Great 1st session with clear instructions and a plan to move forward. Lots of great articles afterward and homework !

I highly recommend Andi!! She came once a week to help me with my two dogs I had gotten during the pandemic. After her first session with us we already saw a difference in our dogs.

I met Andi just as the Safe-At-Home quarantine went into effect. With a new puppy, I was desperately looking for a class to get me started training my high energy pup. With in-person classes shut down, Andi suggested we train remotely using the Zoom video platform. Dogs love and need boundaries, and they also love to learn. Andi knows dogs and puppies well. She will work with you, depending on your needs, to build your confidence in handling your dog. Andi's methods and advice are invaluable and fun for you and your pooch. She is all about teaching you to train your dog to be calm, happy and obedient. Diamond Dogs Training gets 5 Woofs!!!!! read more

Andi is amazing. I have a Golden Retriever puppy. We were wanting to learn basic commands and how to navigate separation distress.

I'm Not one to leave negative reviews as I'm always trying to think "everyone has their day" or simply busy but considering the fact that I've called several of times and left several of voicemails for the past 2 months ! It's quit frustrating and felt the need to. read more

Cannot say enough good things about Diamond Dogs Training, Andi is THE BEST. When we brought home a nine week old Golden Retriever mix, we were not at all prepared for how insanely high energy she is Andi taught us so much; not only how to work with our puppy's excitement but how to understand her and her high energy needs, using only positive reinforcement. We received clear written instructions and video links after each one-on-one session. Rates are very reasonable and I can't stress enough that this is worth EVERY.SINGLE.PENNY! Our pup is still insanely high energy but now we have the tools to make her life, and our life with her, as fun and fulfilling as it is meant to be. Thank you so much, Andi! read more

I reached out and Andi got back to me quickly! Andi was so polite in answering my questions and after discussing my situation she let me know that she might not be the perfect person to help in my case. Wow!

We loved this dog training service! Andi McLoy was gentle, professional, and her techniques worked perfectly for our dog, Hazel. She was always on time and got our homework to us in a timely manner.

We were so happy to find Andi and Diamond Dog training and would recommend her to any one. Andi is truly a "gem". Soon after adopting our 5 year old lab from a local shelter, our family of first time dog owners found ourselves looking for help. We knew very little about how to take care of a dog and wanted to seek help from a professional trainer. We called around and found several that worked in groups or required us to bring our dog to a training site. Diamond Dogs appealed to us because the training sessions took place in our home and neighborhood. Andi, owner of Diamond Dogs, was wonderful from start to finish. We set up a series of 6 basic training sessions. Andi was very flexible with scheduling and encouraged us to engage the whole family in our training sessions. She helped us determine our goals and needs as a new "dog family" and provided us with personalized, fun training sessions along with session notes on skills to practice. In addition to basic obedience training, she helped us problem solve issues like bathrooming in appropriate areas, using the doggie door, establishing healthy feeding and exercise routines, appropriate ways to positively reinforce good behavior, how to approach socializing with other dogs, loose leash walking and so much more! read more

Each week our puppy is growing and learning so much. Andi will go at your pace and is very knowledgeable. If you are thinking about a trainer I definitely recommend Andi read more

Andi is just the best! She's one of the kindest most patient people I've ever met. She helped me navigate wild puppy energy that I was struggling with and she never judged me or made me feel bad when I told her I did things that other would criticize for (ie- letting my puppy sleep in my bed). The things Andi taught me will stay with me and be used in all my current and future pets. I appreciated that she sent me homework each week to aid me in my training, it was super helpful to keep me on track. Looking forward to working with Andi again for more advanced training. Call her, you won't regret it! read more

Andi is seriously the best. It has been a very long time since we had a dog and I decided to get a puppy. We were miserably unprepared on how to train him. Andi to the rescue..... In 6 short weeks, our puppy is potty trained, can sit and lay down on command. We are working on loose leash walking and stay. We wouldn't know what to do without Andi. If you need a trainer, look no farther!! She is also incredibly patient with little kids and their interruptions, she handles it all like a pro. I've asked get to give us some kid training lessons too!!! Lol read more

Diamond Dogs Training - Spencer graduated puppy kindergarten!!! - Pet Training Near Me

Diamond dogs training was a blessing for our 10month old puppy. Andi ( the trainer) was very patient with our unruly pup who barked at everything and couldn't walk without pulling her leash . She was out of control. We thought we'd have to give her up. A six weeks 1 hour session in our backyard ( wearing masks and socially distancing) really helped our pup improve her most problematic habits .Andi helped train "us "with techniques and methods to work on to improve our pup's road to being that perfect family dog. After each class Andi would send " homework" on everything we did in that particular session. This really helped, having a written explanation of everything we covered that day. It made working g with our pup so much easier. Any specific behavior that needed to be addressed, Andi would have help suggestions . She'd even send a Video site to help you to work with our pup. Our pup loved seeing Andi. We must say our pup has improved and has become our almost perfect family member! DDT was worth every cent! read more
