    Milo (on the right) at board and train!

    We were referred to Michael Hill by good friends and we were/are thrilled with him! We got a new puppy in March, although it wasn't our first time having a puppy we wanted some refresher training for us as well as some tips for training Milo. Michael was so great on both fronts! He is so personable and easy to be around, he watched us interact with Milo and gave us constructive notes. We met him with Milo in various settings, at the park, at a coffee house, walking along a busy street, which were all great ways to learn how our new pup interacted in each setting and so helpful to have Michael observe and comment! We were able to reserve one of the coveted "board and train" spots with Michael, Milo returned after a week like a little prince! Michael Hill is fantastic, we highly recommend him!

    Some people were simply put on this planet with a special gift for understanding animals (including us humans), and Michael is one of those rare gifted people. He radiated empathy, intelligence, and committed expertise from our first meeting, and he shared with me the specialized knowledge and skillset that dog owners of all levels would benefit from acquiring in order to build a happy life with their animal. Despite having had two other dogs in my life, when I adopted a new rescue animal who had separation anxiety, I knew I needed a professional to teach me (more so than even my dog) how to send good well-timed cues, establish crate training, and radiate secure energy to teach my dog to be independent and secure too. I learned that so much of our work with dogs comes from non-verbal cues and smells/pheromones we send-- training animals requires that you be in a calm state of mind, and in many ways Michael is as much a "people" trainer as he is a dog trainer. After just two sessions with Michael at home, I learned a treasure trove of new information about dog psychology, I received real-time training notes for me as the owner that I still use in my daily walks outside, and my dog has improved significantly in his separation anxiety! Basically, Michael is a genius at what he does. I learned how non-intuitive dog psychology can be, and how crucial it is (even for "experienced" dog owners) to update their learning. The field of dog training has evolved to new standards in the past 20 years and Michael represents this newer understanding of working with dog psychology. His aptitude, combined with his years of empirical practice and dog-whisperer energy, made him the best trainer I could have hoped to find. Some people have both the passion and the gift -- Michael is one such dog trainer!

    We are so happy with the training package that we purchased with Michael. Before adopting our rescue pup Walnut, we read a dog training book and thought we had everything under control. We were wrong!! Our puppy weighed only four pounds but would growl and bark at every other dog she saw. We didn't think we would ever be able to socialize her. Michael explained that her aggression was coming from a place of fear and after two training sessions out and about in West Hollywood, she has never barked at another dog again. After our first few sessions, Walnut was still having a hard time relaxing enough to be able to enjoy being around other animals. That all changed after we went out of town and boarded her with Michael and his dogs for four days! She returned from her stay at his house having learned boundaries around other dogs and finally had the confidence to really play and interact with them. She is now nine months old, and we just took her on her first trip. She spent the weekend running around and wrestling with two giant golden retrievers. No barking, no growling, just bouncing around and having fun. I cannot recommend Michael and his approach highly enough. His focus beyond just the basics of sit and stay has made such a difference in our lives, and we are forever grateful for his time and expertise.

    I don't even know where to start with how amazing Michael is - both with our little Regan and, more importantly, with us, the owners... which is where all the healthy behavior begins. This is absolutely THE best investment we have made for our little Bernedoodle. Michael had SUCH a relatable way of teaching our little pup and more importantly us - her puppy parents in an understandable, healthy, calm, beneficial way. After watching so many differing puppy training videos, I am SO relieved we found him. He literally is MADE to do this. He has a gift for helping train our dogs and us, the owners, in a compassionate, structured way. Which is exactly what we needed and what Regan needed. He has become not only a friend but but the greatest source for helping Regan live a healthy, fun, structured, well-behaved, enjoyable life. We are so incredibly grateful for this journey we took with him and our little puppy. Having trained dogs and shown dogs all his life, he has such a wealth of knowledge that I know we will want to have more of that as Regan grows up!

    Michael was great helping get our girl better leash trained. He was personable and knew exactly what to do. We'd highly recommend him.

    Michael is the dog whisperer! I've had such a struggle crate training my 3 yr old dachshund Theo especially in an apartment building with thin walls. He is often very head strong but in just two weeks with Michael, Theo came back so much calmer and immediately ran into his crate without barking. Michael teaches you his tricks and tips to follow when he comes home to make the transition so smooth and consistent. Michael is extremely communicative throughout the entire process and sends updates and videos and photos every day! Michael helps eliminate the hard part and as long as you continue the easy steps Michael gives you when he comes home and be consistent, your dog will be so much better behaved. Michael doesn't just train your dog, he trains you to be a better owner! And the best part is seeing how much fun your dog is having with Michael during his stay too. He mixes fun with hard work to make it enjoyable. He's helped Theo not pull on his leash on walks and not beg for food! overall Theo came home practically a new dog and has so much more focus and better listening skills, no accidents etc! I recommend Michael to anyone who needs some extra help.

    I came to Michael a complete novice and a little bit of a hot mess - first dog (ever) and first puppy! My puppy, Pennie, was four months old at the time and I was losing my mind. I had no idea what to do--I was being driven to my breaking point. I was completely overwhelmed. Luckily, I found Michael and loved his vibe from the start. I signed up for the package (which I highly recommend) and we got to work. Fast forward to graduation day of training, Pennie has come so far. She is a well-behaved pup and such a joy to watch grow. Now that I have great tools from Michael, I feel more confident and that shows through in Pennie too. She absolutely loved her sessions and was so happy to see him too and that will make any pet parent happy :). I highly recommend Michael. I'm so grateful for the tools and the work he did with Pennie and me!

    This review is way overdue (Sorry Michael!!!). I cannot say enough great things about Michael Hill's dog training. In fact, I've already referred nearly everyone I know in LA with a pup. We were desperately looking for a dog trainer for our spoiled little guy, Wallace (2.5 year old, 100lb bernedoodle) but even more importantly for my fiance who is a complete pushover when it comes to our pup. Wallace hated going in the car, would nearly pull me over or drag me along on walks, jumped on guests, and loved to bark at any and every noise he heard all day long. After lots of research, I thankfully found Michael and couldn't be happier with the progress Wallace made in such a short time. Michael has a unique approach given his background in child psychology, which helps tremendously when training a dog. I really didn't want a trainer who used punishment as a way to train so I absolutely loved Michael's positive approach. Michael gave us so many tools, tips and tricks in just a few sessions that literally transformed Wallace's behavior. I never thought I would be able to handle taking Wallace out in public without my fiance's help but now I can easily get him in/out of the car, he no longer takes me for a walk, and he's very well behaved. Michael is a true dog lover and cares deeply about the animals he works with and Wallace immediately warmed right up to him. We're excited to work with Michael again when he looks after Wallace at our wedding this summer :)

    Now I know what to do and where to do it! My mommy is so proud of me!

    I don't know what I would have done without Michael -the 10 month old cavapoo I adopted turned out not to be at all house trained.it was so difficult, especially due to my limited I didn't know if I would be able to keep her... Michael was our earth-angel. He provided boarding, training, and lots and lots of actionable advice for me! Two weeks later she is completely different dog in all the right ways. I can't recommend Michael enough! He is kind, considerate, and an absolute expert in his field.

    Michael is incredible! My Goldendoodle was having some struggles with separation anxiety (and just generally staying calm)... and over the course of 5 sessions, Michael has completely shifted the way that my dog acts! Michael not only trained my dog, but also ME, so that I can properly communicate with my pup and set us both up for long-term success. It's been incredible to watch my dog's transformation, thank you Michael!

    Just got a puppy... German shepherd mix pitbull. She is sweet and loving but she does her business everywhere. Do you off potty training as well?

    Yes I do!

    Hi, I have a 3yr old Frenchie that nips at my feet and guest feet, lunges at strangers and continues to lick and circle around his younger Frenchie nephew? Can you help with these issues?

    Happy to help! You can submit a training inquiry on my website www.Michaelhilldogtraining.com to get started!

    My dog has been having issues with the other dog inside our house. She's a year and a half and is becoming over protective and will chase the dogs and attack them. She's territorial over toys and food, and is 2 months new to this house and dog. Help?

    I'm researching & have found other trainers use an alpha or apparently growling method with their dogs. I personally do not want to growl or yell at my dog. Do you use these techniques?

    I do not use those techniques :)

    Do you offer cat training services or know anyone to refer?

    I do not - best of luck!

    This review is LOOOONNNGGGGG overdue. I had gotten a Shiba Inu puppy 3 years ago that had to be…read morehospitalized due to Parvo the next day. Then, once he recovered from that, had a fever that almost killed him and had to be hospitalized again. We had to keep him quarantined for a while and away from my other dog (a 7 year old Pomeranian at the time) and get all his vaccinations from the beginning. He was scared of literally every single noise and had anxiety about just about everything. Over time, he developed extreme food aggression and we were worried for the safety of my little Pom. He had been attacked a few times to the point of actual injury and it was extremely stressful for everyone. I was at my wits end and I felt like I had tried everything to help Gunnar (my Shiba) and protect Simba (my Pom). I did a lot of research and stumbled upon Jenina and sent her a message for private sessions where she would come to my apartment once a week. I believe I only used her for a little over a month but I am eternally grateful. The level of aggression Gunnar displayed was so dangerous that my roommate and I actually have been bitten with blood trying to protect Simba from harm where food is involved. The issue was that he wasn't aggressive with all foods and we were unaware the extent until it was too late (ex. we thought it was only wet food so we were giving a chew stick to them separately where I would have Simba sitting next to me on the couch and Gunnar would be on the floor away from Simba with my roommate and the switch was so sudden----from sweet to seemingly no warning lunging at Simba----I stuck my leg out to protect Simba and he bit my leg instead). I feel like at this point, a regular human being would give Gunnar up, but that wasn't an option. It wasn't an option when he came to me dying from Parvo, it wasn't an option when he had an almost fatal fever, and it wasn't going to be an option for me now. I was determined to find a way to help him because he is my baby and my responsibility. The vet suggested I contact a behavioral specialist and when I did, VCA told me the earliest appointment they had was months later. Fed up with waiting, I found Jenina. In a month's time, she had given me the tools to fix a seemingly impossible situation. Make no mistake---she made me work for it. She might come across brash to some people but she is very direct and straight to the point. She doesn't coddle you and makes sure she lets you know what you need to do because while the session is for dogs, it is actually more like training the parent. She gives you "homework" and training info and is only willing to help you if YOU do the work. Now, it wasn't a complete fix. He still has anxiety outdoors or unknown noises as well as food aggression but it is nowhere near what he used to be. Before Jenina, Gunnar couldn't even take a step outside the apartment building let alone go for a walk. Three years later, Simba has sadly since passed but he has a little brother that he is extremely patient with as he acts like a typical annoying little brother), his food aggression has gone down from 100 to 30, and we go out to all sorts of places. He is THRIVING and this is all thanks to Jenina. My roommate and I are on high alert and know what to look for in terms of triggers and are very quick to de-escalate aggression situations. We try our best not to avoid known triggers and we work with him every day to allow him to be his best self. He is the sweetest boy and we are so glad he's been able to show it instead of being overshadowed by aggression and anxiety. She also gave Gunnar his nickname---Gunny! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I am so sorry it took this long to leave this review but thank you so much for saving us. If we had listened to the VCA behavioral specialist that basically called Gunnar a monster and suggested we give him up, he probably would have been euthanized somewhere. We owe you so much.

    I adopted Gili, a 10-month old female poodle-schnauzer mix, who came to me with several behavioral…read moreissues that appeared to stem from being treated poorly before I adopted her. Despite this, Gili quickly revealed herself to be a joyful, funny, and incredibly intelligent dog who was easy to train. However, there were a few serious behavioral issues that I could not resolve, no matter how hard I tried. About two weeks after coming into my home, Gili began to feel secure with me and in her environment. Unfortunately, that security turned into extreme protectiveness of herself, the house, and especially of me. She became reactive to unfamiliar people to the point that no one could enter our home or even come near me unless I medicated her or confined her to a bedroom to prevent incidents. I hired different trainers who were kind and well-intentioned, but their methods and advice were ineffective for the specific issues we were facing. Then into our lives came Carrie, the owner of the local Bark Busters franchise. I do not believe I have enough words to describe how positive and effective our experience with Carrie has been. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about canine psychology and the development of behavioral issues, and most importantly, she has an incredible ability to identify the root cause of each specific problem with precision. In a caring, non violent yet effective way Carrie focuses not only on the dog, but also on how we, as humans, can unintentionally exacerbate issues while trying to compensate for our dog's difficult past. She teaches people how to gently, confidently, and correctly address unwanted behaviors through proper posture, attitude, and consistency. What I love most about Carrie is her upbeat, joyful, and generous nature. You never feel rushed or inadequate; questions and input are welcomed and encouraged, no matter how long it takes. Carrie made it clear that she is committed to being there for both Gili and I for as long as it takes to create real, lasting change. She patiently and thoroughly addressed each issue in a way that was easy to understand, carefully explaining not just what to do, but why. I truly felt that she cared deeply about my understanding the methods, the sequence of exercises, and the reasoning behind them. Although I have shared my adult life with five different dogs, this experience taught me something entirely new: my posture, energy, and state of mind during training are just as important as the commands themselves. I am incredibly grateful to have finally found a trainer who is not only a skilled behavioral therapist but also a master trainer--an essential combination, especially when working with a dog who was not raised from a young puppy and comes with a difficult history. In Gili's case, that history left lasting emotional scars that affected how she interacts with the world. Not only did Carrie spend several hours working with us, but a few days later she followed up with a detailed and thoughtfully prepared email covering everything we had discussed. It included educational videos to further clarify the instructions, links to recommended toys and helpful equipment, a clear overview of the exercises Gili and I should practice, and much more. It was evident that Carrie spent many hours compiling this instructional guide, and it has already proven to be an invaluable resource for us. Even though it has been less than a week since Carrie trained both of us, I am already seeing meaningful improvement in Gili's behavior. More importantly, I now feel confident that I have the tools to help Gili reach her full potential and become the best version of herself, a happy, loving, and confident little lady who was always there beneath the hardships she endured before coming into my life. I am also reassured knowing that as time goes on, Carrie will be there for us whenever we need reinforcement of learned skills or guidance with any new challenges that may arise.

It was already so stressful rearranging my life around his needs and training but also managing work and trying to keep up with my own. It felt so stressful to try to walk him because he wouldn't listen to me and pull to meet other people/dog's. I would walk him for 2 hours and he still wouldn't be tired when we got home. As a rescue, he naturally has so much separation anxiety. So we've been tethered together and this wasn't sustainable or healthy for both of us. I think many dog parents would understand the guilt, frustration, embarrassment of not knowing fully how to work through these hard moments. I found Racquel through yelp after a lot of research. I could've signed up for training that was weeks and weeks long but I needed help...ASAP. It sounds crazy to say that in a few hours she can rewire both you and your dog..but we are proof that it's possible! I also love that her holistic approach is backed by really practical, tangible tools. I learned about practical tools, psychology of dogs as well as how I'm contributing to his reactions and behaviors. I walked way from our session and the next day was already implementing the skills/knowledge I was given. I can't thank you enough Racquel, for helping us and continuing to support us and strengthening our bond.

We already had another dog, Sylvester, who was rescued 5 years ago, was a bit older, and the not the friendliest with other dogs. Maybe not the best two to pair in a home. Sylvester had already gone through some training, but was due for a refresher. Cinderella was wet clay ready for molding. After doing some research online, we reached out to Raquel, and after one phone call, we knew she was the best person to collaborate with. Raquel brought up a very key point early on in that Cinderella will follow the lead of the head dog already established, so we wanted to make sure she was learning good habits early on in her life. Over the next few months, Raquel has spent time with us in our home and the park as we've been learning how to better communicate with our dogs, and with each other with it comes to training them. So much of it is Raquel training us as the owners in as much as it is training the dogs themselves. Raquel is always a text away and within reach, has incredible insight into the minds of dogs, and so very kind and gentle with all of us. It can be very frustrating to re-learn habits from walking our dogs to feeding them to communicating with them when they're doing something naughty. Raquel is a great teacher who is able to simplify the process, and we're very happy with the results we've seen so far with our dogs. Whether it's Cinderella growling at everyone the moment she starts eating, or Sylvester going into attack mode when he sees another dog across the street, Raquel has been there every step of the way giving guidance and suggestions, and we've seen the progress. My partner and I highly recommend Raquel to anyone looking to become a better parent to their dogs. Because it starts with you.

Learning how to use the E collar was the best thing ever now we can walk her past dogs and she doesn't charge, she knows how to Place and calm herself when she gets excited and she's really very responsive to just about everything we need her to do to keep her safe and us safe in an environment that she deserves to be in. Thank you, Alice for giving me hope when I really didn't know if it would be possible to keep her. We love our Aralez and really appreciate you!

    I can't recommend K9 Logic Dog Training enough to people. My partner and I came to them to address…read moreseparation anxiety in our 1.5 year old French Bulldog. We had tried what felt like everything and his separation anxiety was so bad that it got to the point that my partner and I basically gave up our social lives, had to coordinate with one another one of us would be going to the market or if it would be a trip where we both can go but someone sits in the car with our dog. We met the team at K9 Logic Dog Training and they assessed our dog and determined what kind of training program would be best for him to address his separation anxiety and the other skills we wanted to work on. Within a week we noticed progress. We finally were able to leave the house for an hour and go to the market together. Week by week the time has gradually gotten longer where we have been able to leave him alone for longer periods of time to reclaim our social life back. I was skeptical at first, but after that first week I became a believer. We are so happy with the results that for the purpose of just giving him structure and routine we signed him up for more classes and he LOVES being at school. We've also participated in the weekend group training sessions and they are so helpful to not only give our dog routine, but it's a great way to reinforce structure and keep him sharp with everything he learned at school. Signing up for training with K9 Logic Dog Training was the best decision we could made for our dog to set him up for success.

    I recently had to had my two cats out of the house for the day while they worked on my house. I was…read moresuper nervous about having to board them, but I feel good about having to use Paw La La again in the future. All staff I spoke with were friendly and helpful. They also sent me pics (small fee) and were responsive to emails during the day as I checked in on the cats. I have one cat who is so skiddish and even he allowed them to pet him during his stay. They have a complete separate room/area for cats. There are one or two spots in front. Thankfully the times I went I was able to quickly park there; because that particular area is nearly impossible with parking.

    We love boarding at Paw La La ! We've been using their boarding services since 2023 where we met…read moreDawn and her wonderful team. She last boarded on January 2026 for 10 days and I felt it was an eternity missing her everyday but she was in her own little vacation. She attended birthday "pawty" meet so many furry friends. I love seeing the IG stories knowing she was having a blast. However, the best thing of it all is since she began boarding at Paw La La I've noticed a huge improvement in her social skills when we are out in public. She's always been a good girl but now I see her more aware and less hyperactive when she's other dogs. Socializing and playing with other dogs has definitely helped her. Communication with the staff is has also been easy since I do check-ins through texts and or call .
