The most outstanding aspect of this outfit is how solid, appealing, clean and well run the facility is. Additionally, their training program is thoughtful and well organized, moving dogs and owners through the steps needed to train them both and explaining clearly why certain things work using the dog's natural instincts and behaviors. I recently placed my 9 month old labrador for 2 weeks of "Board and Train" with them. They did wonders both with teaching him good basic habits, but most importantly changing his attitude and teaching him to be responsive to commands. His trainer was Brenen, who did a wonderful job and who I recommend highly.

Our experience (both canine and human) at Canis and with our trainer Christiana was TRANSFORMATIVE!…read more Our dog Rue is a 2 1/2 year old german shepard/malinois mix who was rescued from DTLA skid row as a puppy.  Because of her history and genetics, we knew that Rue required our commitment to raise and train her.  We tried our best to work and train her ourselves, but her anxiety and reactivity issues continued to escalate.  We needed professional help!  We did extensive research and met with various trainers and training facilities, and we decided to work with Canis and enroll Rue in a six week board and train program. From our first introductory meeting, we were impressed with the time that Canis spent getting to know Rue and us.  Our experience with trainer Christiana was exceptional. Communication was outstanding during the six weeks with lots of videos and notes to document our dog's progress. We also participated in weekly training sessions which helped us build our skills as pet parents while our dog was building her skills. Christiana and her team genuinely cared about our dog's well being and we felt at ease having our dog in their care.  Fast forward six weeks and we are so happy with Rue's development and transformation!  Our dog is happier and more confident, and we've seen tremendous progress in her behavior.  We've also been impressed with our experience post board & train. Rue's training will always be a work in progress. We appreciate all of the follow up, encouragement and responsiveness to all our questions and accessibilty to materials and resources to continue developing Rue. We also look forward to participating in the variety of group classes Canis offers

Just had our training session with T, and me and my husband were both super impressed for many…read morereasons. T was really personable and professional first of all. He was on time and polite and just easy to be around. He listened to our concerns with our 5 month old cavapoo puppy and then really gave us a ton of knowledge about how dogs communicate and operate in general as well as breaking down the cause of our dogs current bad/odd behavior and how to fix it. He taught us how to communicate with our dog so that we can give him the structure he needs to be a happy and healthy dog. T also gave us a ton of resources that will save us a lot of money in the future as dog parents. He is worth every penny and then some and you should really not bother looking any further for the right trainer- you found him! :) Thanks T!

People who know me know I'm serious about training my dog and giving it structure, discipline and…read morealso having fun! I enrolled my dog Jack in the Beginner's class at J9s K9s after researching all the local training options. I called to learn more and was impressed by Janine's professionalism. She is a wealth of knowledge. The group class settings were actually a good fit for my dog who was exhibiting over-excitement when he saw other dogs and squirrels. He would jump around on his hind legs and make panting sounds. It helped Jack practice obedience while there were other distractions, namely other dogs nearby in the class. They have these handy dividers with curtains to help control some of the over-stimulated dogs and the trainers typically have an assistant to help out too. They are good about giving them peanut butter/cheese bones to distract them and will redirect owners/dogs when needed etc. We enjoyed the class and learned quite a bit. The "power recall" and "leave it" were great take-aways. At the end of every class, we got a summary and homework sheet, which was great. Janine always returned my phone calls whenever I was concerned about my dog Jack's issues and gave great training suggestions. I think they offer lifetime phone consultations. Although Jack still has other issues, he is better, but only through diligent leadership and work with him. He is great around other dogs now. I recommend the group classes if you have a fairly well-balanced dog, but are looking for games and obedience commands!

Class offerings are diverse and range from beginner through advanced, masters & Ph.D, street smarts, wilderness walks, freestyle, agility, beach camp, snow dogs, and mountain camp to mention a few. I've been training my 8 yr old precocious border collie mix at J9's for over 3 years since we rescued him. Although my dog is not perfect, he's now a very manageable companion that we can take virtually anywhere. He walks well on leash and generally pays attention to us rather than other dogs or people. As a bonus, we have made wonderful friends at J9'sK9s and enjoy being in the company of others who are equally devoted to their dogs and have fun doing so.

Great dog trainers!!!…read more I have been around Juan and Jessica for years and it has always been a pleasure to work and talk with them. I can always count on them to board my dog and know that he is taken care. They are caring and compassionate people with a true passion for training that really shows in their work with their clients and their beloved dogs. They treat your dog like family and always respond with updates when asked in a prompt manner. They also treat their clients like family and are incredibly understanding about last minute arrangements and changes of plans. If you need a top notch dog trainer, look no further.

I've attended training here twice, and the quality of instruction is excellent. The trainer is…read moreknowledgeable, professional, and provides a great experience. However, I've had consistent issues with scheduling and communication. Appointments have started late, and I've had to follow up multiple times just to book sessions. While I understood being charged for a missed appointment, I've also had to remind staff about payments and encountered difficulty getting responses--most recently calling twice without securing a booking. The training itself is strong, but the administrative side needs improvement, as it impacts the overall experience and business I hope this feedback reaches the trainer directly. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. Due to these multiple issues, I will be finding a new Trainer. My dog will be very sad. She very much loves her Trainer.

We couldn't take him anywhere. Too out of control. That's where Brian came to the rescue. Its amazing how much he knows about how and why dogs behave the way they do. And more importantly how to change their behavior. So after several lessons Ollie is a completely different dog now. A good example is we take him to The Commons in Calabasas and he behaves perfectly. No more barking and pulling on the leash. We worked on other bad habits he had and we don't see them anymore. All it took was a knowledgable trainer like Brian and some work on our end and its amazing how Ollie has changed so quickly. We highly recommend Brian and LA Dog Experts.

Brian trains your dog and teaches you how to be a successful owner/trainer. His approach is gentle and he really cares about the process of getting to know your dogs routine including crate training, number of meals per day and quantity of food at meals, time spent outside and exercising (walks, playing, training, etc.), socialization, use of toys and what toys, and best of all he answers any and all of your questions without judgement. He suggests tips for good treats, training supports, and items that will be helpful. Everything Brian suggested are things that our puppy and older 8 year old dog love!

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 week after we brought our adopted pitbull puppy home, we felt completely helpless when she…read morestarted peeing in the house, biting everything, crying in the crate nonstop, etc. We reached out to a few dog trainers on Yelp and Kelev K9 replied right away. 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!

Jenny is an incredible trainer!…read more We have a boxer dog who had a rough start in her life. Jenny met with us and immediately started helping us better understand our dog, while giving us practical tools and techniques to work with her. We saw a difference right away. From barking at strangers or friends at the door to becoming much more comfortable when friends came over, our dog has made amazing progress. One thing we really loved about Jenny is that she trained our dog at her house and then came to our home for a house visit.
