I felt so bad about leaving my dog at home all day .. but with my work schedule I really didn't have a choice. I was always rushing back home from work just so I can walk Mochi and with the crazy LA traffic, it just felt too stressful.

I wish I had a consultation with her when I first got my fur baby because I could have prevented a lot of issues. She helped me when my older dog, who is completely potty trained, suddenly started pooping in my kitchen. It was so stressful and I couldn't have corrected the issue without Jessica's knowledge and expertise. She gave me a FaceTime consultation which was very thorough. She also sent me a follow up in depth email with step by step instructions and links on where to buy things needed. Much appreciated since I'm forgetful and busy! I'll also be seeing her for my dog's aggression. I try to remind my pup that she is a Yorkie chihuahua and very little, but she is still starting fights with all the bigger dogs in the neighborhood lol. Anyhow, I recommend Jessica for any issues you have with your pets.

Working with Jessica was one of the most rewarding training experiences I have ever had. I got…read moreApollo when he was 4 years old. He had been in many different homes and rescued from a couple different kill shelters. When I got him, his wasn't especially trusting of humans, and he had a lot of difficulties with other dogs. Jessica showed me how to help him overcome his fears and trust issues using positive reinforcement. She also helped me figure out his food and learn that every mishap or potential "scary" situation was an opportunity to work on training. Eventually, Apollo gained confidence and was able to walk on the sidewalks of Los Angeles without fighting with all of the dogs. Huge win! The best part of working with Jessica was that she helped me create a beautiful relationship with Apollo. We have a communication now, we trust each other and we have learned from each other. I would not have been able to connect on such a deep level with Apollo if Jessica did not guide us and help us figure out our routines and best practices.

They also do boarding but I haven't had the chance to try that out yet. The price is very reasonable especially if you leave your dog for 8+ hours. They have a professional staff to watch over the dogs during daycare and are open on the weekends which is a huge plus. I will always recommend this daycare and never have to worry about my dog when I drop him off! :)

I can't say enough good things about Anna Marie and Matthew! Working with a foster pup comes with…read moreits own unique challenges, and they've been so patient, knowledgeable, and supportive every step of the way. From the very beginning, they took the time to understand my dog's personality and needs, and created a training approach that actually works for him--not just a one-size-fits-all method. I've already seen such a huge difference in his behavior, confidence, and overall happiness. What I appreciate most is how they've also helped me become a better, more confident handler. They explain everything in a way that's easy to understand and always make sure we feel set up for success. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your dog and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend them. My foster pup is already on his way to becoming the best version of himself thanks to their help

I'm so long overdue in writing this review for our beloved Happy Heart Pet Care! I don't even know…read morewhere to begin in describing how much I credit Anna Marie and Matt for supporting and caring for my girl Moxie (and honestly, me too). I adopted Moxie at about 6 months old after she was found wandering the streets, and she came to me with a lot of anxiety, reactivity, and gaps in early socialization. We needed real support, structure, and patience. On top of that, I work 12-hour hospital shifts, so finding a place I could trust--somewhere that would care for her with the level of love, safety, and consistency I wanted--felt impossible. Then we found Anna. Anna is extraordinarily knowledgeable about dogs with trauma histories, reactivity, and anxiety. She balances structure and boundaries with genuine warmth so Moxie feels safe and gets to live her best dog life. She helped me understand my own dog better, taught Moxie how to regulate and interact in healthier ways, and created a routine that transformed our day-to-day. Matt is equally wonderful--gentle, attentive, and always in tune with what each dog needs. She is also incredibly flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups, which is absolutely essential when you live and work in Los Angeles. Her reliability and understanding have made it possible for me to manage long hospital shifts without worrying for even a second. Moxie has a forever Auntie in Anna Marie, and Anna will always have my deepest gratitude and love. If you're looking for someone who will love your pup, keep them safe, understand their quirks, and support you as an owner--Happy Heart Pet Care is truly the best there is.

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!

I wish I had known about Kristin of Cognitive Dogs training program when I first rescued Charlie…read more The poor guy struggled with severe leash and fence reactivity, and every time he saw another dog, the barking was deafening. People would literally come out of their homes to see what was happening. After nine months, seven different trainers (yes, seven), and wasting a ridiculous amount of money, I felt helpless. With our honeymoon just a few weeks away and nowhere to board him, I tried a couple Rover daycare places that also did boarding, but we were turned away because of his reactivity. Desperate and super sad for him, I scoured the internet for trainers and dove into every single review. That's when I came across Kristin of Cognitive Dogs and decided to reach out. I was skeptical after so many disappointments, but during our consultation, she was so thorough, patient, and confident in her abilities that I decided to schedule an 8-week board and train. In the weeks leading up to when we handed Charlie off to her, she sent very thorough, organized emails with instructions on what to pack and what to expect. During the training, she answered texts promptly, sent photos and progress videos, and kept us updated without overdoing it. It was clear her focus was on actually training my dog, not just sending staged pictures and video updates. When she brought Charlie back, I was nervous but hopeful. The difference was unbelievable. He's still the same silly boy, but now he's attentive, obedient, and can calmly handle seeing and passing by other dogs. His leash manners and overall confidence have completely transformed him into the dog I could only dream of since we rescued him almost a year ago. Kristin's program is the only one that truly worked for us, and I can't recommend her enough. Dog training is always an investment, but this one is absolutely worth it.

She has taught me so much about dog behavior and body language, and my 2-year-old pitbull Tank absolutely adores and respects her! He has been a regular member of her pack for a year and a half, and I always know that he is in good hands and will receive the best possible care when he is with Mikell. I am proud to say that she has also become a dear friend. I turn to her vast knowledge whenever I have a question or concern about my dog's behavior, socialization, diet, or any medical issues. Cannot recommend her more highly!! Thank you, Mikell! You truly have helped make Tank a much more polite dog!

When we moved from New York to Los Angeles, we never thought we would find a dog walker that my…read morethree dogs would love as much as the one we had in NYC. In December of 2014 I was on the hunt for a reliable dog walker that both my dogs and myself felt comfortable with. After one bad experience, I landed on Lucky Dog and they've been taking care of my dogs ever since. Lisa and Farley have been great and very reliable. They send my photos & updates while I am at work, which gives me a great deal of peace of mind. My black Lab recently went through a serious health issue and I reached out to Lisa for a vet recommendation. I had already visited two vets and was given to different diagnosis. Lisa came thru yet again with a stellar vet recommendation and my dog is on the mend and doing well. Our dogs are the most important part of our lives and we wouldn't trust them with anyone other than Lisa and Farley.

I called around to several daycares and was shocked at how many still refuse pit bulls...when I asked a neighbor who owns a big pittie girl what they do, they told me about Angie! We figured if she could handle their big dog, she'd be fine with our little (growing) one. they say their dog adores her and I believe it! Angie came over to our home for an interview and we loved her right away. More importantly, so did our girl Beatrice. We went out in the front yard and handed Angie the leash. I'm convinced that my dog behaves better with Angie than with me...go figure. we typically only need a walker a few times a month - but when we do, there's never a schedule problem. She gives me feedback after the walk via text (oh and btw, she will not answer her phone when she's with a dog! love that!) or she can leave a note for you, which ever you prefer. like a lot of people, we spend a lot of time & money and give a lot of love to our dog - she is our child - and we won't settle for anything less than the best. We are confident and relaxed knowing that Angie is there for our girl. Lucky Dog is a very professional service, we are so happy and thankful...and now we have a Lucky Dog, too.
