He didn't call me to tell me this when it happened, only a text exchange after the fact, so I'm not sure of all the details. He charged me for the walk where the dog got away from him and didn't seem concerned about the fact that it had happened. I wont be using him again. My dog is obedient and experienced off leash, but I had advised the walker to make sure to give him lots of treats and praise to win him over before trusting him 100%. Beyond the dog getting away from him, he was hard to reach and schedule the walks.

He is extremely knowledgable of large dog breeds and their special needs. He worked to find the right pack for Jethro to go out with.

We are the luckiest owners to have ended up meeting Kyle and Mark! These guys are AWESOME!!!!!!!

Got dog problems? Not for long! Call Allan! I am a first…read moretime dog owner and this year adopted two rescue dogs. I had owned cats all my life and had no knowledge at all about dogs. So when Venus and Marley came into our family life we were eager but not very informed. Our dogs are lovely, sweet animals (obviously a rescue wasn't going to give first timers problem dogs) but they had a few quirks in their behaviour that were really bringing our family down. The main one was incessant barking out the windows of the house at everyone who walked past. The other one was that the dogs slept in our bed and it was causing back pain for my husband to sleep in strange positions. My husband was really getting over it - between the lack of sleep, back pain and barking he was getting ready to send little Venus and Marley to the returns desk. We had previously tried group dog lessons at Rancho Park and were definitely the class dunces. I really couldn't face 2 months of turning up once a week to a group lesson just to make little progress and be demoralized by the perfectly placid poodles and old dogs who aced the class. Then I had the good fortune of meeting a friendly, helpful dog owner at Culver City Dog Park. He said "Oh, you should meet Allan. Here is his card." I spoke with Allan and booked him to come to my house, meet the dogs in their domain and talk about our specific issues. What an amazing day! When Allan arrived he asked me about our issues and while he patiently listened to my tale of woe he quietly observed the dogs. What I saw next was truly amazing. Within two hours he established himself as the dominant animal in the pack, instructed the dogs and me on how to keep them away from the window. Taught me how to correct the dogs behaviour when they transgressed. He also taught me and the dogs that my bedroom is off limits and how to reinforce this behaviour. Then, because he had nailed all the crucial problems well before two hours he also took on how to get the dogs to walk well on a leash and behave themselves around unfamiliar dogs on the street and also how to get the dogs from mobbing people who enter the house. By the end of two hours the dogs were fully submitting to the new rules. To see Allan work his magic on dogs is truly amazing. Allan then follows up at the end of the month to check if there have been any issues with sticking to the new system - Allan is also available via text, phone and email if anything crops up in the meantime. From the end of the first 2 hour session the dogs were transformed. No returns desk here. Of course, it is up to the dog owner to enforce the rules and not get soft on their cute little mutts - any backsliding we had during the month was entirely from members of the family not following through on the rules established by Allan. I can't recommend Allan enough. He is a complete professional. A great listener. A dog pro and he gets the result you want very fast - truly, at the end of the 2 hour session our dogs were reformed!

I heard great things about Allan, a friend of mine was telling me how great he is with their dog…read moreetc. so I was so stoked I called Allan. I booked my appointment couple weeks out due to Allan's schedule and mine as well...I had contact him thinking my appointment should be coming up and asked him when it was exactly. He told me it was suppose to be the previous week but he had an emergency. But didn't feel the need to let me know. So I reschedule with him.. We had been communicating via text. So I booked another appointment and he didn't get back to me until 2-3 days later. Telling me it won't work so he asked about the weekend and I said ok. Didn't hear from him til the weekend saying he had another emergency! So he asked for the following week I knew he wasn't going to reply quick enough so said yes it'll work and sent my address. Of course haven't heard from him. So the appointment came around and he didn't show up or bothered to contact me so if you're thinking to use his service be aware that he will lag on getting back to you. It's very unprofessional of him how he handle his business and especially with new customers. I have clients and I have never handles any regular clients or new clients of mine the way how he handle me as a new customer for his business
