Sally has been training our dog since she was just three months old, and I truly can't imagine…read moregetting through puppyhood without her. She is patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and always up to date on the best training approaches, but what makes her especially amazing is how deeply she genuinely cares. Because of Sally, our dog is so well mannered, everyone we meet comments on how well behaved our dog is. That's a direct reflection of her consistency and dedication. Sally has been there for us through training, boarding, board-and-train, and daycare, and I have never once worried about leaving our dog in her hands. Her place truly feels like our dog's second home, and that kind of trust means everything. Her assistant, Sam, is also wonderful, kind, attentive, and clearly just as caring with the dogs. They also go above and beyond with enrichment and socializing, taking the dogs on walks, to dog parks, and even on beach outings. Thanks to the socialization and experiences they provide, our dog's confidence has grown so much. One of the sweetest things Sally did was throw a birthday party at daycare for our girl's first birthday and her dog friends. It was such a special memory and just shows how much love she puts into what she does. If you're looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you do, Sally is your person. I highly recommend her! Thank you Sally and Sam!

Sally has been working with our golden retriever since she was a puppy, and the results speak for…read morethemselves -- we have a confident, well-mannered dog who's a joy to be around. What sets Sally apart is the range of what she offers. We've used her for training, boarding, board-and-train, and daycare, and the quality and care have been consistently excellent across all of it. She's knowledgeable, stays current on the latest training methods, and genuinely loves the dogs in her care. You can tell the difference between someone going through the motions and someone who treats your dog like their own -- Sally is the latter. Highest recommendation without hesitation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I just adopted my first dog (after having dogs in the family, this is much different) and she's a…read moresweet but very anxious dog. I wasn't sure what to do and having Shawn help me identify the behaviors of fearful dogs and give me tips on how to bring her out of her shell, my dog has made huge strides in only a couple weeks. Shawn was COVID respectful when she came over for an in-house visit and I felt safe the entire time. You can tell she is in this business to help dogs and their owners and to help everyone be healthy and happy. I can't wait to keep working with her!

I found Shawn on Instagram and reached out to her to inquire about training our 2 yr. old rescue…read morecattle dog, Mila. Right away, I knew it was going to be a good find. After our first session with Shawn at our home, she wrote us a very long email with her analysis on Mila's emotions and why she does what she does, what gear to buy her to protect her and others, and what to incentivize her with. Mila is afraid of most new people, especially women, and COVID really took a toll on her because it put a halt to all our hard work in socializing her. Shawn knew exactly what to do and gave us tips on how to be consistent with her even after our appointment. The best part about Shawn is she will answer the phone or text us whenever we have a question. So it isn't just about the hour and a half you have with her, it is an on-going relationship and resource. Mila isn't completely over her fears, but we haven't had a growl/ bark incident since Shawn because we have been taught how to react properly. In addition, Mind Body Dog boards pups too, which I can't wait to try since Mila will be learning while she is there. I'm very thankful for meeting Shawn and Mila is too!

Brett is fantastic. We have worked with many different trainers to help with our rescue pup Teddy…read more(3.5, labradoodle) with little to no lasting success and we were starting to worry. Teddy a sweet pup but struggled with anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding and was VERY sensitive to being touched and would often lash out or try to bite. We were really worried about how to help him and how to curb some of these bad habits we'd no doubt reinforced with our own behavior. When I called Brett for the initial consult, he was patient, understanding but also honest and direct about the time and effort it would take and the changes we would have to make to have a real impact. We were open to the feedback and committed to making a change in and out of our home. WOW. We've been working with Brett consistently for 3 months and Teddy is like a new dog. He is calmer, happier, more obedient, and much more confident and tolerate of being touched (especially on sensitive areas like his paws!). Our friends and family have all been shocked at the noticeable difference in Teddy's overall demeanor (happier and calmer!) and behavior. Our groomer asked us what had changed as he was so much calmer and happier to deal with. I want to be clear this is no "magic pill" we put in the work but with Brett's guidance and structure, we cannot believe the results. Teddy is of course still a work in progress and we have more work to do, but seeing the progress he's made in such a short amount of time with Brett's thoughtful approach has been so exciting. Brett truly understands dogs and their psychology and this makes him a true expert. Just know that part of the training process is training your pup but also training yourself to adjust your own behaviors to create a positive outcome long term for everyone. We cannot recommend Brett enough!!!

Top-Tier Master Trainer! Brett transforms crazy dogs by training the owners.My German Shepherd,…read moreLucy, was in a shelter for over four months before I got her at around eight months old, so you can imagine how completely chaotic, spastic, and misbehaved she was. I was entirely overwhelmed and at my wit's end trying to manage her behaviors. When I hired Brett, I'll admit I fought him along the way on some of the training protocols--but in the end, he was correct about EVERYTHING. The most vital thing for difficult or frustrated dog owners to understand is that Brett's training isn't just about fixing the dog; it is primarily about training YOU, the owner. He provides an exceptional structure and leadership framework, but it only works if you are willing to check your own habits, get on board, and consistently follow through as a pack leader. His methods are incredibly kind, humane, and highly effective at correcting severe behavioral issues. Today, I am so incredibly happy with how my once-crazy dog has turned out. Thanks to Brett, Lucy is a wonderful companion who listens perfectly, handles major environment changes like moving to Downtown LA beautifully, and doesn't react to other people or animals anymore. Having her in my life has truly become the amazing journey I always hoped it would be. If you are willing to put in the work on your end, Brett is absolutely the best master trainer you can find!

Life at home is very different now with their opposite personalities, and after a few behavioral issues, we knew it was time to bring in a specialist. We are so happy we picked Jackie. She taught us how to properly control and correct those difficult moments. We will definitely be signing up for more sessions, as we were extremely pleased with everything we learned in just one hour. Our priority is making sure both dogs are happy together, as they bring so much joy to our family.

Jacqueline is an awesome trainer and her programs are so much fun for both dogs and their humans…read more Leia has taken Beginning and Intermediate Obedience in the park and Leia and Chewie have both gone to Puppy Socials at the studio. We are currently working on taking the CGC - Canine Good Citizen test for Leia. I like the option of lessoning in the park where there are more distractions for the dogs. It's also nice that the dogs can mingle before or after class (I've been to another trainer where all the dogs were petitioned off and cannot see one another). Her class is easy to follow and I love how at the start of each class, she asks how everything is going and if there's something specific that people need help with. If there is, then we'll start with that, if not, then we do a quick review and start to learn something new. Time goes by in her classes because we are all having fun! If you have a dog that is not ready to be with a group of dogs, you can still attend! She'll have you and your dog be further away from the group so you can still see/learn. I have seen my friend's dog, Max, go from a dog that just barks the entire time in the parking lot to a trained puppy in the main group! Her methods work and they work right away, but you do have to keep practicing with your four-legged friend. You can't expect to go to her classes once a week and have your dog trained. At Puppy Socials at the studio, there are two groups, one for small dogs and one for bigger dogs. She and her assistant will monitor the dogs and make sure that they are not being too aggressive or teach the shy puppies how to make their way out to shine (and they do after taking a couple of Puppy Social sessions!). You can also session private socials with just a couple dogs in the studio. Jacqueline loves animals and has extensive knowledge of them. She always puts the animal first. She has degrees in Exotic Animal Training, Animal Behavior Management, Wildlife Education & Sociology. She's very flexible with scheduling and will help make timing work for her clients. I highly recommend Jacqueline and LA Dog's Trainer to everyone!

And after only one meeting with him, I'm very glad that's what I did. He gave me a clear and understandable plan, each part of which made perfect sense. And while I have to get some equipment, like gates in doorways to keep my older dogs apart from the new baby, the suggestions Hudson made that I could implement immediately are all helping our new addition be in more comfortable and happy.

I will continue to follow Hudson's training advice on a daily basis and look forward to working with him in the future.

Zoom Room changed all that. Now we use a handsfree leash. No more 'no pull harness', just a flat collar. I take him anywhere and he's improved so much in terms of reactivity. we are not perfect in terms of dog neutrality yet but WOW we have come so far. I take him to Runyon and Fryman, which I would have never done before due to all the dogs. I'm excited now when I see dogs, to help him practice making good decisions. I couldn't have done this without Alex and Justin. We've done a combo of Agility, Obedience, Loose Leash Hiking and Calm Down classes. We continue to work everyday and put into practice what we learn in class. Thank you Zoom Room for helping us so much and making life so much more enjoyable.

When I get lucky...I get LUCKY! I found this amazing group…read moreof people off of Yelp, and the 5 Star rating is 100% deserved. I have two pups: Archie and Charlie. I want the best for my puppies, so I asked so many different people where and how they trained their dogs. I received a few suggestions, but decided to do my own search...and I'm glad I did. Leo (Owner) and his amazing team of trainers TRULY care about the pups they train. Leo came to my home and wanted to meet me and my pups before I had to decide on making any decisions. After sitting down with him for about half an hour, I knew I found what I was looking for: Someone who wants me to have healthy and happy dogs. I signed up for the in-home training at first which is Leo coming to the house and training me on how to train my puppies (Archie and Charlie just turned 6 months and started with Leo and his team when they were 4.5). Very quickly, I realized I could not handle training both these puppies the way they needed to be trained. I discussed with Leo and decided to do a Board & Train. I like the schedule because I get to take the puppies on the weekends to spend time with me. Don't get me wrong, you NEED to train your pups on the weekends, but it's worth it and FUN. Archie has become the Puppy King (no offense to other puppies or their owners )). Charlie has a lot more energy, but has improved immensely! Leo's trainers are so caring. I feel my dogs get love with their training when they're not with me, and I couldn't ask for more. I see their excitement whenever I visit about improvements and milestones that Archie and Charlie achieved. They gleam with as much pride as I do. I honestly don't know where my pups OR I would be without the help of this AMAZING Team! If I could give 10 stars out of 5 stars, I would!

A few minutes later Leo called us and asked questions about the situation. Some basic tips he gave us over the phone saved our sanity until he came to our house a few days later for a free consultation. The consultation made it clear how experienced and passionate Leo is about dog training, so we decided to sign with him that same day. After one session we felt much more confident in training our dog and saw the "light at the end of the tunnel". Over the past 5 months and four training sessions, we have seen day and night improvement in her behavior. If you feel lost and out of control with how to train your dog or want to continue their training, Kelev K9 should be your first call. Leo is always ready to help out with any questions or concerns we have by text or phone call. Pricing is also extremely fair and was a worthwhile investment for us because we have our sanity back and have bonded so deeply with our dog through training. Thank you so much Leo, Breanna, and the whole team at Kelev K-9!

Fast Forward Life happened, routines changed, and I'll admit I wasn't consistent with continuing the training as I should have been. Over time, I started to notice some old behaviors creeping back in. Reached out for some fine-tuning, and within just a few days, my pup and I are completely back on track. It's incredible how quickly Greg was able to assess what was needed and get us refocused. Not only does he train the dog -- he gives us humans tools to succeed -- which makes all the difference (if you keep up the work). If you're looking for someone who truly cares about long-term results and is there when you need a reset, or help I highly recommend Greg!
