She is simply the best. Where do I start. Maybe with the friendly welcoming smile, fun attitude, and knowledge she graces her students with. It's a fun and exciting class for both me and my Mini Schnauzer. He just turned 2 and cant wait to get to class. Thank you Ms Robin, for your smile, giggles, patience, and grace. We so appreciate you read more

Robin Roy Dog Training - Miss Daisy - Pet Training Near Me

My five-year-old rescue husky has flourished in Robin Roy's novice and intermediate group obedience classes in West Los Angeles. Robin emphasizes positive reinforcement and setting each dog up for success based on their individual needs and current training level. She also guides the dog owners in her classes with patience, good humor and empathy to help them improve their dog handling skills and troubleshoot any problem areas. My dog is already walking better on leash and more predictably coming promptly when called, two areas in which huskies often perform poorly. I'm looking forward to seeing more obedience improvements as we complete the remaining class sessions. read more

My pup, Nutmeg, and I have been learning obedience from Robin for the past 5 months, via the West Los Angeles Obedience Training Club (WLAOTC) program. We started with Robin's puppy manners class when Nutmeg was 5 1/2 months old and are currently in her advanced obedience class. Nutmeg is the fourth dog my husband and I have raised, each as an "only dog" and each from young puppyhood. They have been (in order) a mutt, an Aussie, and two miniature American shepherds (aka mini Aussies). We have tried various training approaches/classes, ranging from "do it yourself" to individual competition-focused instruction. Based on all of my experiences, Robin's approach has been far and away the one I like best. One of the reasons is that she encourages, and demonstrates with her own behavior, that training should be fun and always rewarding for the dog, not like being sent to military school! Although it is clear that most of the training is of the owner, not the dog directly, Robin is very easy-going and nonjudgmental of our various levels of (in)competence. She also has a very good sense of different dog personalities and tries to help the owner find the best approach to training their particular dog, given that personality. The result is that training with Robin ends up low pressure and fun but while still being very effective. And her instruction is broad, from teaching the most basic commands to throwing in some tricks as well as the skills necessary for various levels of obedience certificate behaviors and introduction to competition expectations, each of which reinforces the training approach as much as the particular skill being trained. And mastering the approach ends up being Robin's main goal, rather than, for example, expecting participants to enter competitions or focus on gaining certificates (although the training provides an excellent basis for both). The result is that both Nutmeg and I look forward to going to class and learning nee skills (more treats for Nutmeg; more confidence for me!). read more

We have done a "separation anxiety" class with Robin and also have started a Novice weekly course with her. We are learning so much in a very comfortable environment. Our dog is pretty well behaved but WE also want to learn. We just thought, why not let him have the opportunity for best communication with is fur-parents? :) We are on week 2 and I must say it is very educational and fun...light! We love how she teaches and gives insight on the psychology/ nature of dogs. We get literature after class to aid in practice. Couldn't be happier. And, yes, I'm the kind of person that has a doggy notebook...so all of that goes into his binder. read more

Robin Roy Dog Training - I love my dog class!! ~Max - Pet Training Near Me

Worked with Robin at the West LA Obedience Training Club in beginner and intermediate novice courses. She is an incredible instructor! Our dog loves her and with her instruction he went from an aimless, distracted knucklehead to focused and confident good boy! She provides easy and clear instruction, always with positive encouragement. I'd recommend her for anyone wanting to take the step of learning obedience with your pup! read more

Robin is a real pro! Her puppy class came highly recommended from a neighbor and was well worth the drive from LA to Oxnard. We learned so much and our 4 month old Cavalier had a blast. Robin has great energy, keeps class positive and upbeat and makes training fun and rewarding. She answered all of our questions and even proactively connected us with another local pup so that we could continue to socialize our dog. We've already signed up for her agility class! read more

Robin Roy Dog Training - Pet Training Near Me

My puppy and I recently completed a second round of obedience training with Robin. She has a gentle and positive personality and does a great job of teaching us humans how to be good dog owners/trainers. I learned from her that training success has more to do with how I behave than how my dog behaves. Robin has also kept in contact with me to make me aware of additional opportunities to help my dog Gracie and I take her training to the next level including referrals to other trainers who have different areas of expertise. I highly recommend her. read more

Robin Roy Dog Training - Akita practicing her down stay! - Pet Training Near Me

Robin by far is the best trainer i ever met. Very pleasant and Informative -my dog loves her and will do anything she asks. I'm also learning so much more from her than other trainers I've met. Thanks Robin! read more

Robin is both an outstanding dog trainer and a wonderful person. We have known Robin for two years, and she has worked with us and our St Bernard Thea within a class structure and during individual training sessions. Robin is extremely kind, patient, and accommodating in determining a custom-tailored plan for each individual dog she trains. Robin immediately established a rapport with us and Thea. She was great at targeting specific areas of behavior to modify and the most straightforward and useful strategies for us to employ to get the desired results. Watching Robin interact with Thea, as well as numerous other dogs, illustrates how much she loves dogs and cares about helping owners have the best relationship with their animals. We wholeheartedly recommend Robin for both her classes and for more individualized dog training. Thanks for all you do Robin! read more

Robin is always patient and kind with us and the dogs. She always answers our questions and has a suggestion or two for behavioral issues--that work. She even shows us fun stuff like tricks to add to our obedience training. She has excellent communication with us during and between classes. We've had 10 dogs in our lifetimes so far, all of whom received training. Robin is at the top of our list of best dog trainers and nice humans. read more

Robin Roy is incredibly knowledgeable, funny, patient and has a crazy instinct knowing what our dogs need. Most importantly, she trains us humans in how to train our dogs. Robin gives us all the tools necessary, and lemme tell you, they work...but it's our responsibility to keep implementing what she gives us. Seriously, we traveled from the east side, and it was more than worth it! Our Lupe has learned so much... read more

Robin is so friendly, kind and humane. She really cares and takes special care. I don't ever have to worry about my pets being well cared for while I'm away again. Highly recommend! Thanks Robin for all you do. read more

She was not intimidated by my big dogs, nor did she have the I'm holier than thou attitude that some dog trainers have. You know, the whole omg how did you let this happen attitude. She was very understanding of our dogs problem and immediately gave me the tools I needed to get him on the right track. I have already seen a huge improvement and I'm very grateful for her wonderful advice. I would recommend her a 100%. read more

We did the Puppy Manners class with Robin and it was wonderful! She is skilled, knowledgeable, patient and really made the class fun for everyone, including the pups. I especially enjoyed her insights into canine psychology and how we can relate better to our dogs. The class consisted of basic obedience training (sit, come, leash walking, etc.), but the best part was the puppy playtime at the end of each lesson, which is so important to get the pups socialized. Class was conducted outside, very safe, masked, and Covid-cognizant. Driving up from L.A. on a Sunday was not too bad - and entirely worth it. We're looking forward to starting agility intro classes next month! read more

Robin is hands down the best trainer I've met. She is knowledgeable and positive. My dog would bark like a maniac when we would go into pet stores and now it's a whole new dog, he still has some quirks (totally on me) but behaves sooo much better now. He absolutely adores her. I could write so much more about how amazing she is but if you're reading this review you need to just contact her and see for yourself. Thanks robin for making it easier to take Copper out in public. read more

ROBIN ROY is simply FANTASTIC!! Our two rescues, Lola and Chloe, get excited just when we mention her name. We have done privates and classes with Robin and the results are amazing. And our Chloe is just not an EZ case. Robin takes the time to get to know you, your dogs and within moments everyone is at ease as the training process proceeds. Highly recommend your dogs meeting Robin and experiencing the positive experience; and the positive changes that are possible for both dogs and owners. Stan W. & Nicole A. read more

Robin Roy Dog Training - Gibbs !! My puppy - Pet Training Near Me

Robin is amazing! From the minute I met her I loved her way of interacting with dogs. The connection she makes with each dog is great. Her techniques were easy to learn and she was so kind with my dog. I especially loved her relaxed manner. I have had other dog trainers that have made me so nervous I couldn't relax and enforce the training because I was so worried of doing something wrong. She is very positive and always has the dog's best interest in mind.I am excited to take another level of training class with Robin would highly recommend her to everyone! read more

This is my first dog and there is so much that I needed to learn, but Robin made it so easy to learn. Seeing Robin with your dog is just amazing. She is so gentle yet she knows exactly how to get your dog to listen to you. I definitely recommend her for whether it is your first dog or if you have a dog that just needs a bit of readjustment. read more

Robin worked with me and my Whippet puppy, who had been abused. She was creative and helped enormously to lessen his fears. Niki D.

Where to begin....No trainer I have come across compares to Robin. It's not how she trains, what she says or her experience, it's her whole package. Her compassion and understanding of animals is unbelievable. It was clear from the beginning how much she cared about my dog(s) actually getting better. We have 3 dogs in our home: Maxx (8 year old chihuahua yorkie), Tiffany (14 year old yorkie who is deaf) and Achilles (8 month old husky). Our puppy just started puppy school, which is I highly recommend. It's more concentrated and less costly than most programs available. Maxx has had fear aggression for many years now. I tried EVERYTHING and was willing to do ANYTHING to make him feel better. Within 4 sessions with Robin, Maxx was a different dog. Yes, he has plenty of angry moments. No, he isn't perfect. While the work we have to put in without Robin takes time and patience (a lot of patience), it works. I can go on for days about her but nobody has time for that......we have dogs to train ;-) read more
