As some may be able to tell by several of my reviews, I can be a pretty tough customer. After this…read morereview, I'm going to leave a less glowing review of another dog trainer I used before this one. This is my 3rd toy poodle and my 4th training experience, so I have a pretty good feel of the differences between effective and not so effective. My dog was about 7 months old when I started with Kristen. I had her in 4 weeks of boarding training prior to this. Over $3,000 later, I felt I got nothing for my money other than 4 weeks without my dog. When I met Kristin, we agreed to 2-3 weeks of boarding training with followup in home sessions. I still have at least 3 of the in house sessions left. During the initial consultation, she spends a lot of time talking about dog behaviors. At first my gut feeling was less presentation, more training. I guess I was skeptical due to my last experience. She proved me wrong, as after just the 1st week, I noticed an enormous improvement in the behavior of my dog. My dog was and still is very spunky, but we were having major potty issues, lots of barking, she didn't know how to walk outside without hopping really fast on her back legs like a kangaroo, wouldn't warm up to anyone, she was just so wild. Kristin helped me understand that forcing the dog to do behaviors it doesn't want or isn't ready for is counterproductive. Instead, we worked on giving my dog more freedom, but in a very measured way. We worked on positive reinforcements including positive distractions when something might make my dog nervous. Know right up front that your dog will be getting a TON of treats during this training, but try not to let that bother you and focus on the fact that you'll be getting so much improvement if you make the effort to supplement her training with what you are also taught as an owner. It is critical that you make the effort. You can't just expect miracles if you don't contribute to the dogs training. I don't know if its appropriate to put the price here, she ain't cheap, but we felt it was money well spent. My dog is much more relaxed, much happier, much more balanced....its hard to put it into words. I feel like she went away for 6 months when it was only 3 weeks and I got a much more mature dog back. Kristin also was very helpful coming up with a plan with regard to how to handle my dog in different situations within my own house....like when I'm working from home and I need quiet during a meeting I'm running. 4 weeks ago, my dog was peeing in her crate, she was in her crate most of the day crate training, barking, crying. Now, she has a very large pen which she has connected with going out on a balcony to a grass square, she sleeps all night in our bed, she gets much more free roam time in the living room, she learned several commands including, sit, stay, down, paw, go sniff...her outdoor walking is dramatically improved. She hasn't had an accident in the house for over 3-4 weeks. Still need some work on 'come', but we will get there. I highly recommend her. She knows her stuff and she is an expert in dog behaviors. She is the real deal which is hard to find in LA. She's also a super nice person..the kind of person that sort of lights up the room, so its no wonder dogs love her :-). Thanks for reading. Message me if you have any questions.

Kristen is a miracle worker! We sent our 110lb one year old great Pyrenees to her after some…read morebehavioral problems arose. In all honesty, we had lost hope and didn't really know what to do anymore, Kristen reassured us that with proper training things could get better. We sent our dog for an eight week board and train program and he came back a brand new pup! The effectiveness of her training truly blew us away! 10/10 experience, she's very knowledgeable and patient you can tell she really cares about the animals she trains.

Neither are…read moresuper social with other dogs, but she was wonderful at introducing them to the others she was caring for, and making sure they were all good before we left. We received updates while we were away, and I appreciated knowing they were being loved on and safe. Noemi has great communication, and was prompt in responding to our messages. Luna and Ozzy will definitely be back!

Since April of 2019, I have used the services of the Doggie Hotel. I feel so lucky to have met…read moreNoemi! She was recommended to me when I was struggling to find someone to help with my then 11-year old dog Max, who is in diapers 24/7 and has special diet needs. Noemi keeps him clean and happy by changing his diapers AND she even washes his diapers and has sewn and mended his washable diapers, so I can use them longer. When Max was diagnosed with diabetes, she stepped up and when I needed her to watch Max, she also, on top of the diapers, started feeding him a specialized diet and giving him insulin shots twice daily. She goes above and beyond and treats you like family. Max LOVES Noemi. Max typically doesn't react well to being left somewhere, but he doesn't even notice when I leave him at the Doggie Hotel! He loves it there so much and gets so excited to see Noemi. He loves rolling around in her beautifully maintained yard, and I like that it is secure and gated. Her garden is gorgeous; she has even given me many delicious avocados! Typically, I drop Max off in the morning before work, and I pick him up on the way home. However, I don't know what I would have done without Noemi during my big projects at work. Max at times has ended up staying with her for nearly two weeks. She is so accommodating and kind. I highly recommend the Doggie Hotel. Noemi loves and is great with dogs, has a flexible schedule to accommodate yours, and has a great, safe space dogs love. I'm so grateful for Noemi and the Doggie Hotel!

You can immediately tell how much they genuinely care about every dog that comes through their doors. The facility is so much ! more than a boarding place. It's like a doggie park and vacation all in one, with plenty of opportunities to play, socialize, exercise, and have fun. It gives you such peace of mind knowing your dog is not only safe and well cared for, but also happy and enjoying their time there. I highly recommend them! Prices are fair.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience here, and my main concern is the way an employee…read moretreated my puppy, Obie. Obie was already nervous when he arrived, and I was told that they would take things slowly with him. While I understand that puppies can be nervous in a new environment, what happened during his visit was much more concerning to me. An employee physically handled Obie while he was visibly scared and uncomfortable. I did not feel that the way she handled him was appropriate, and as his owner, it was extremely upsetting to watch. What made it even more concerning was that she was turned around at one point rather than actively watching and supervising the dogs. I understand that employees have multiple dogs to watch, but when an employee is supposed to be interviewing a new puppy and their temperament, I would expect that interaction to be closely supervised and handled with care. I had specifically explained that Obie was nervous and was told he would be eased into the environment, which made what I witnessed even more disappointing. My concern is not that Obie was nervous or that he needed time to adjust. My concern is specifically how an employee chose to physically handle him when he was clearly uncomfortable. I have screen recordings from the daycare cameras documenting what happened, so this review is based on what I personally witnessed and have recorded, not simply my interpretation of how the visit went. I would expect a daycare entrusted with people's dogs to prioritize gentle, patient, and appropriate handling, especially with a young puppy who is already scared. Unfortunately, after witnessing how Obie was treated, I left feeling very uncomfortable with the experience.
