    Rita joining the pack walk

    Total change in our dog Rita. We reached out to Zenni dogs because we really have been having so many issues with our chihuahua Rita. She is like a completely different dog after training with Yasmeen from Zenni dogs. Rita was aggressive on the leash and I would normally have to cross the street if anyone else walks walking towards us. She now ignores it and continues on the walk and is even willing to pack walk with dogs she has never met. This has been truly an amazing change and I can see it in Rita. She's not so anxious she enjoys the walks more. She has made so much progress. I can't thank Yasmeen enough for giving us the confidence and guidance to be better pet owners and understand our dogs so much more. Yasmeen is direct in her training and makes it easy to understand what changes need to be made and how we need to follow through at home to be successful. If you're looking for real results this is the place!

    We are whole again

    Yasmeen gave us the knowledge and inspiration to make us the pack leaders that our dogs needed. We are thankful that she drove from Long Beach to our home in Orange County to work with us. We have three dogs, two of which were fighting at home, and it caused so much tension that we didn't know how to move forward. Yasmeen advocated for us to become confident pack leaders and bring balance back by making a few changes to our behavior and teaching us the foundation of dog psychology. She taught us to be aware of our own energy and observe what our dogs are showing us. She demonstrated how to maintain consistent calm energy and how to give direction and information to our dogs. She patiently answered our questions, repeatedly. We are forever grateful to Yasmeen.

    Our 2 dogs and dogs Yasmeen brought to our sessions to help train our dogs regarding their reactivity to other dogs, walks, etc.

    Yasmeen is a fantastic dog trainer and we highly recommend her! She helped us with our 2 dogs in preparation of our baby arriving. Over the course of a month, our dog's behavior drastically improved. She was patient with us and our dogs and the training session were insightful. She helped our dogs with their reactivity around other dogs, pulling on walks, listening to our commands, dog anxiety, etc. Her prices are super affordable and she goes above and beyond in her sessions. Best dog trainer in Long Beach!

    Yasmeen helped my husband and I understand our hyperactive, reactive dog! We have gone from zanny zoomies to Zen! The three of us can now confidently walk, travel, visit breweries and cafes and not be concerned that we can't "handle" our dog or that she will wig out! Instead, we just know that we can all calmly and naturally work through new experiences together! We are a very happy pack!

    I was overwhelmed when my father in law passed away and entrusted my husband and me with his dog. We had multiple dogs already that I didn't know how to fully communicate with. I reach out to Zenni Dogs because her separation anxiety was intense but with Yasmeens help to understand her needs she is a changed dog and I am happy to know we are moving towards a healthier mind. Through the process it lead to helping me communicate with each dog and I am now working on building a stronger relationship with all my dogs everyday. It feels great knowing I have Yasmeen in my corner to further understand how to communicate with my dogs. I am very grateful; Yasmin is very professional, informative and punctual.

    Pack walk!

    Zenni Dogs and Yasmeen just absolutely exceeded my every expectations. Both my wife and I recently added another family pupper to our pack, his name - Kevin. He is a rescue, and as they do, came with some unknown baggage. The sweetest boy - but definitely needed to work out some of his issues. Enter Zenni Dogs. They analyzed the patterns, habits and behaviors that no regular person could have noticed - until she revealed them to me. It almost became this therapeutic routine and eventual connection with a month of work (three sessions total) between my dogs and I. My wife and I became the leaders they needed, calm and assuring to their own anxieties and prior issues. The methods provided by Yasmeen gave US the confidence to be a better pack leader and ultimately made my dogs better from it - and the effects were noticeable almost within weeks. Just absolutely incredible. HIGHLY recommended!

    Yasmeen is an amazing trainer and very knowledgeable! We have two male Manchester Terriers (ages 6-7), and had been trying to troubleshoot a few of their "quirks", without any progress. We read different literature and had implemented various techniques on our own, on how to handle their behavior issues, but we were never successful. We finally decided to seek the guidance and help of a behavioral specialist. Luckily for us and our boys, I found Yasmeen Zenni! A few of the issues that we had been having with our two dogs were interdog aggression (which was escalating), leash aggression and barking at other dogs while on walks, excessive barking at new people that would come over to our house, anxiety, and marking in the house. We have completed 4 sessions with Yasmeen and have truly learned so much information and techniques on how to properly handle and provide our dogs with clear instruction and communication. I appreciate how passionate and educated Yasmeen is with dogs. She was able to provide us with great insight into a dogs psyche and what they are looking for from us. Then we were taught how to implement this understanding with our dogs and actually give them what they need from us. Basically my husband and I needed to be taught how to appropriately interact with our dogs using body language and communication that they would understand. We have seen such a positive transformation in our boys in just 4 sessions; as well as ourselves, and feeling more confident and capable of knowing how to handle their behavioral issues. We worked on numerous things with Yasmeen and our dogs; long lead line training, walks in the neighborhood, front door aggression/ barking with new people, crate training (I learned as to why it so beneficial for dogs), which has been helping with my dogs anxiety, building trust, and our last session was a training day at a new park. This day was particularly awesome because we were able to really see how far our boys had come. They weren't reacting with other dogs, they were following us for instruction, and we even did a pack walk for a bit at the end! I was blown away that our dogs were so good and walking with other dogs, without any barking or aggression. It was so great to see them in a calmer, more relaxed state, as they should be. I wish I would have found Yasmeen sooner! My husband and I both highly recommend seeking her services for your dog's needs and training. She is a great teacher who is very kind, patient, and experienced. She was easy to talk and set-up appointments with; as well as provides phone follow-up sessions. If you are reading this review, then you must be looking for help with your dog. You will NOT be disappointed with Zenni Dogs and will be so thankful that you found help for you and your dog.

    Wilson while we hosted a dinner with our entire family. Never in a million years did I think this would be possible!
    Jenni P.

    My golden retriever Wilson was always in an excitable state and wasn't able to meet and greet dogs and people in a healthy way. He would get so excited and completely lose control of himself. He would body slam and jump on dogs and people and would knock everything over in his path. I was so stressed when anyone came over or when a person or dog wanted to greet him and it made so sad because I wanted him to be able to go everywhere with us and be a part of the family when our family came to visit, but that wasn't possible because we had no idea how to manage these situations. After meeting Yasmeen, I feel so much more at ease because she gave us the knowledge and tools to help Wilson have a healthier response to interacting with people and dogs. I learned how to address every situation and interaction in a calm and non stressful way which has improved my bond with Wilson so much! We recently had family over and he stayed calm without bulldozing anyone and eventually fell asleep. So amazed by his progress in such a short time. Thank you so much Yasmeen!

    I almost didn't book with The Dog Guru because I saw a review calling him "verbally abusive," and…read moreafter working with him personally, I honestly could not disagree more. Pay ZERO attention to that review. As a psychologist, I pay very close attention to behavior, regulation, communication, and emotional energy, and at no point did I witness cruelty, aggression, intimidation, or abusive behavior toward me or my dog. What honestly amazed me most was that he never said one word to my dog. There was no yelling, chaos, or "training performance." It was all action, energy, body language, timing, and an understanding of canine psychology that I have never personally seen before. Before we started working together, Daisy was going after every dog she saw. Within two hours, we were calmly walking and standing next to dogs that were within a foot of her, even sniffing her, and she was completely relaxed. The transformation was honestly remarkable. I think some people may misunderstand firmness, honesty, or structure as being "mean," especially when dealing with difficult dog behaviors, but there is a huge difference between abuse and someone confidently leading both owner and dog. My experience felt safe, effective, loving, and honestly incredible. For the first time in a long time, I left feeling hopeful and relaxed instead of anxious. I am extremely grateful I trusted my own experience instead of one negative review.

No doubt an excellent trainer for the military and if that's what you're looking for he may be just your speed ! His accolades can be found in so many of his advertisements which I'm sure are no doubt accurate. If you're going to pay a sum in advance to schedule a conversation, (as I did) , you may have to call him to remind him to call you on the last day that the call was promised . While, this truth may not sit well and I didn't actually hire him, no matter because your mileage may vary. He is a busy guy. All the best to you all.

Koda is a very smart dog so I knew he could learn but I reached a point of almost giving up on training him, that's when I found Alex and on our first call I could tell how knowledgeable he was and most importantly, how much he cares! Koda spent 4 weeks with Alex on his board and train program, and came home so much better! Alex would send daily updates with pictures which made me feel better about leaving him for so long. We keep doing private training lessons and we can see so much improvement in his reactivity and overall behavior. Alex has also been so patient with the human training side of it, helping me understand my dog and the ways I can support him which improved not only his reactivity but also our relationship.

It honestly brought back the feeling of being a first-time parent--questioning every decision, but without a nurse hotline for guidance. My husband and I were especially struggling with how to manage Chloe around our young kids. She was very unruly, reactive on walks, and difficult to control around other dogs. We found SoCal Dog Training through a friend's referral, and choosing Vladae ended up being one of the best decisions we've made. I'll admit, I was skeptical at first--so many trainers promise results--but Vladae truly delivers. The onboarding process was seamless. The initial FaceTime consultation helped set clear expectations, and I really appreciated how upfront and honest he was about the work required. What stood out most to me was his long-term commitment--knowing I could always come back for refreshers gave me a lot of confidence that I wasn't just getting a short-term fix. The training sessions are where the transformation really happens. After each session, it genuinely felt like we had a new dog--but that's also where the responsibility comes in. You have to consistently follow through with the exercises he gives you. In many ways, it reminded me that investing in my dog's future takes the same consistency and commitment as investing in my two kids. She's now quite literally my third kid. Chloe used to be extremely reactive--barking, pulling on the leash, and even jumping up on our toddlers. Vladae helped me understand the root of her behavior and showed me how to properly address it. Now she's calm, more confident, and walking her has become something I actually enjoy. Seeing that transformation has been incredibly rewarding. It wasn't an easy process, but it was absolutely worth it. Also, a special shout-out to Antonina for being so kind, responsive, and accommodating with scheduling.
