As first time dog owners with a corgi puppy (aka baby gremlin), Ayumi and the whole paw by paw team…read morehave been so helpful! From our first conversation over the phone, I knew I could trust Ayumi. She is not only knowledgeable, but so kind and patient and cares about all her dog students. Stormy has come such a long way since her board & train: being able to relax and settle at home, basic obedience, and walking so much better. Ayumi's training isn't just for the dogs; As dog owners, her training has been sooo helpful for us to understand Stormy better. Can't recommend her enough!

We were so amazed at how well Ayumi & her team took care of our dog Avo. Avo improved so much and we also learned a lot as dog owners. We trust no one else more than Ayumi, she truly cares for the dogs. Truly so professional, knowledgeable, and the best in this business!

We have been with Reid for 3 years - I trust him with my dog Lemon whole heartedly. More…read moreimportantly, Lemon LOVES staying at Reids! When she realizes that we are driving towards Reids she gets super excited! She runs up to him and jumps with joy! When we first moved to LA, I was struggled to find a place where I felt Lemon was safe and cared for. I luckily found Reid and have been extremely happy! I actually can relax on my vacation know that Lemon is having the best time ever and if anything happened to her she would be taken care of. There is an interview process for the dogs, which I love, because I know that Reid knows what to look for, so I know that Lemon is not only safe with the other dogs but is also having fun. In addition, she learned a few good habits! If I could give more stars I would. Highly highly recommend!! We have done boarding and have done the hikes!

Our kennel closed and we needed a new place for our dog Panda. Someone suggested Reid. What a huge…read moredifference! Panda was so happy there. Reid's experience as a trainer and his love for dogs was apparent and Panda fell in love with him right away. There is plenty of clean play area and the big room where they sleep is immaculate and beautiful with different resources to meet each dog's need.. Reid evaluates all new dogs to make sure that all dogs blend well together which was important to us because Panda had not been with other dogs before. It was all a big multi-day play date for her and a worry free trip for us. He posted pictures so that we could see Panda having a good time. Reid really focuses in on each dog to make sure that their needs are met. We learned a lot about Panda from him too. It was a great experience for Panda and for us!

We started training with Michael when our French bulldog, Bruce Wayne, was 4 months old in December…read more2025. We completed the beginning and intermediate training over a few months. We are very happy with Michael's approach to training. He is effective and nurturing, but firm and very patient. We prefer his style of training as it is supportive and encouraging. When discipline is needed, we have firm commands that Michael taught us. He also provides tips for helpful products like corrector spray and developmental and age appropriate toys. His "graduation" ceremonies are so fun! We had a standing weekly appointment, but Michael was flexible when things came up and responds to any calls/texts in a timely manner. We plan to return for advanced training to continue our puppy's learning.

From day…read moreone, he showed incredible patience, skill, and a true passion for working with my puppy Schnauzer, Floki, He worked with basic obedience, leash pulling, jumping and so on, and thanks to Michael's expertise and patient guidance, I've seen incredible progress! Michael also provided clear, effective training techniques that were easy to follow at home. If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring dog trainer, I highly recommend Michael at Master Dog Training! Five stars all the way!

We took our puppy to Puppy Pre-School at Scott-Fox training. It was the best decision! She had so…read moremuch fun & got very socialized. And we got a break on dealing with a very energetic puppy! She went 3 days a week. You can pick how many days a week, and which days your puppy attends. You drop your puppy off between 8-9am and pickup between 4-5pm. This gave us free days to deal with the ramifications of the Eaton Fire. They exposed her to all kinds of sounds (fireworks, appliances, birds, etc.) and worked with her on loose leash walking, coming & staying, and being crated. The crating really worked! We thought we wouldn't be able to handle her crying, but after being in puppy pre-school she goes in quietly, hangs out and naps. We also as owners, learned the importance of sleep for a puppy! They sleep a LOT, and are much better pups when they are rested. We'd love the option of a few 1 on 1 classes with a trainer, since we have a lot to learn also!

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.

Our dog, Comet, struggled with leash reactivity after a bad encounter, and walks had become really stressful. This program made a huge difference! Comet spent one full day a week at the facility, and we worked on reinforcing everything at home in between sessions. We worked with Shea, who was amazing, knowledgeable, supportive, and great at explaining how to handle Comet's reactivity. The 30-minute sessions at pickup were especially helpful and really built our confidence. The pricing felt very reasonable for the value, and we also love the community they've created. Comet has made major progress, and we're excited to keep building on everything she's learned!

Couldn't be more delighted than I am after having met Dave and watched him work with my husky…read more He's a gifted guy who knows dogs, and seems to get through to animals that others cannot reach. His ability to communicate and get an unruly animal to listen and want to cooperate is pretty impressive. I'm learning a lot and overall Dave's contribution has been such a welcome gift. I cannot recommend Dave more highly, and would be delighted to discuss this with anyone who is interested.

Thankfully I found Dave, who I call the Dog Whisperer of Altadena! After 3 months of training with Dave, I see now why owners that have dogs that are NOT properly trained are not able to keep the dogs or the dogs and owners just live with unfortunate issues that could've been resolved with proper training. Do yourself and your doggie a favor, get Dave Rachs in your home!

Gonzalo is truly great at what he does. I took my four year old husky to him when she had bad…read morehabits and was very misbehaved. I boarded her with him for about two months, and she came back like a completely different dog calm, obedient, and well-behaved. It was honestly the best investment I could've ever made. She's six years old now and still behaves amazingly thanks to the foundation he gave her. Gonzalo is also very flexible and always lets me board her when I'm out of town. Every time she's dropped off, she's well groomed and smells incredible unlike other places I've taken her. I highly recommend him!

I don't normally do reviews, but I'm making an exception for this truly remarkable dog training…read moreschool. A 3 yr. old toy Fox Terrier I'd adopted from our local Palmdale shelter sorely needed basic obedience and leash training. Searching online, I was fortunate to find Smart Dog Training School in Palmdale and discovered that Gonzalo was part of an excellent team that ran a training program I'd used many years earlier in the San Fernando Valley. Boy oh boy, did I luck out!! I visited my furry new friend nearly every week while she was being trained, and it was quite obvious she was progressing very well, AND she was so very comfortable and happy with her temporary boarding home as well as her trainers. Little Gypsy is now back home with us and fully trained. Gonzalo and his team are top notch -- well beyond a five-star rating!!!

I would highly recommend Kevin as a dog trainer!…read more My partner and i rescued a 18 monthish old Australian shepherd named Dune who had some bad habits that we needed help nipping in the bud. Dune would try to herd guests around the house by nipping at their butts (lol), had pretty bad separation anxiety (would panic and bark constantly after more than a few minutes alone), and had some leash reactivity and liked to pull constantly on walks pretty much all of that is solved now after a few sessions with Kevin! Kevin was able to move his schedule around and get us our first session like 2 days after we reached out and after the first 2 sessions his separation anxiety and nipping at people around the house were basically gone and after the first dedicated session to leash manners we got that mostly taken care of as well. The way Kevin taught us how to communicate with Dune was so valuable and he really set us up well to know how to work with him going forward on new stuff! And the lifetime support if new situations arise is such a big stress reliever for us! Could not recommend Kevin more!!

Minutes after signing up to use bark busters I thought I had made a big mistake. What could they…read moreteach me that I didn't already know? Well Kevin taught me and Roxy, my big, beautiful German Shepherd, plenty that I thought I knew but wasn't implementing. Roxy had nipped a few of my friends in the butt. Obviously, they all stopped coming over. But after working with Kevin, I can now control Roxy before and during visits with my friends who have now returned. And more importantly Roxy is very comfortable having friends over. What I find amazing is that Bark Buster's support is for life. I know if an issue with Roxy's behavior comes up, Kevin will be here to help.
