This has been a game changer for Drako, being a bull terrier, he needs all the exercise he can get!

Ian has done an incredible job with Drako in just the first few lessons. He's already helping him with obedience, staying calm, barking less, and walking so much better. What I appreciate most is that Ian takes the time to listen to your specific concerns and goals for your dog, then tailors the training to focus on those needs. Ian has also taught Drako commands that have made a huge difference. I'm now able to walk Drako much more calmly using those same commands. It takes me a little longer to master them than it does Ian, but the foundation is there, and it's made walking Drako so much easier and more enjoyable. Ian is patient, genuinely loves dogs, and has a fun, playful approach that makes training enjoyable. His knowledge and ability to connect with dogs is truly impressive. I highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for an exceptional dog trainer!I

Ian and Rubeus
Desiree M.

*This 5-Star review is for private training with Ian Ford* When our Corgi started showing signs of food aggression -- guarding people and high-value treats from other dogs and even people -- we knew we needed help. He was reactive toward every dog we saw: growling, barking aggressively, pulling, lunging, and fixating. Our daily walks were full of hard pulling and disobedience, and we avoided parks, pet shops, and restaurants because his reactivity made everything stressful. We initially tried a treats-based training program and completed 2.5 courses. While we learned some basics, it became clear that our pup needed more support than they could offer. We walked into Dog On Fun looking for help, met Ian, and that decision changed everything for us. We began private 1:1 lessons focused on reactivity and obedience, and what we gained from those sessions was far beyond what we ever expected as new dog parents. Ian didn't just work on commands -- he helped Rubeus truly learn how to regulate himself and feel more relaxed in everyday situations. Today, he can calmly walk past other dogs and settle at dog-friendly restaurants -- something we once thought would be impossible. Because of Ian, we're now able to enjoy the lifestyle we hoped for with our dog: attending dog events, relaxing on public patios and breweries, going to farmers markets, hiking around other dogs, and participating in family gatherings without constant anxiety about our dog becoming overwhelmed and reactive. One unexpected but incredible outcome of this training was how much it strengthened our relationship with our dog. We've built trust, communication, and a sense of mutual understanding that simply wasn't there before. Another huge highlight is Ian's continued support. He follows up beyond the sessions, holds us accountable as dog parents, and ensures that what he teaches truly sticks. We continue to learn something valuable at every meeting. If you're struggling with reactivity or behavioral challenges, we cannot recommend Ian enough. The transformation in our dog -- and in us -- has been life-changing.

I love taking my sweet boy here. I have had him in short term boarding for vacations several times and he has also attended day camp. He loves this place. I have peace of mind that he will be well taken care of to enjoy my vacation time. They send multiple pictures and videos dally The cost is very reasonable. I even know someone that works here from my volunteer days at Baldwin Park shelter ( she still volunteers at BP ) and I know my boy will be in good hands as she is very particular with dog care. My Archie always comes home happy and healthy which as a dog mom gives me peace of mind. Thank you everyone for Archie's wonderful care there.

I had my 2 dogs groomed here and they did a great job. They were friendly made sure I was happy with the cut, pups smelled amazing and they fit me in the schedule on short notice. I highly recommend their dog trainer Ian Ford who has been working with my dog, making very quick progress. He really is a pro and I'm convinced the best around! Great at connecting with animals using highly effective strategies. Not only does he train your dog but also communicates well teaching the owner how to work with the pet to make more progress. Ian works with all breeds large & small which is really great since a lot of trainers are only interested in working with larger dogs (my pup is only 5 pounds). I'm really grateful to see such positive progress with my boy. I haven't used the boarding as of yet but noticed the grounds look immaculate and fun for pets plus well monitored so if I ever do need a place to board this would definitely be where I would bring my dogs.

Ian is the best! He's calm and keeps it professional. He has a great team too! Can't wait to work again worh each other!

**This review is based off the private training with Ian** Ian Ford is an incredible dog trainer and I can't recommend him enough. When I first brought home my border collie puppy, leash walking was a huge challenge. She had so much energy and pulled so hard that I genuinely felt like I was going to fall over during walks. After working with Ian, the transformation has been amazing. My puppy now walks beautifully on the leash and is calm and focused. Walks that used to feel stressful are now enjoyable, and she's honestly like a perfect little angel when we go out. Ian also helped me work with my four-year-old pit bull and trained both dogs to walk together on leash while handling distractions. Walking two dogs at once used to feel impossible, but now they walk side by side and do wonderfully even around other dogs and distractions. Ian is patient, knowledgeable, and really takes the time to explain the training process so you can continue reinforcing it at home. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs and wants both the owners and the dogs to succeed. The difference he made for us has been huge, and our daily walks are finally something I look forward to. If you're looking for a trainer who gets real results and truly puts in the work, Ian Ford is the best.

If you're looking for a trainer who is truly gifted, patient, and genuinely loves what he does -- Ian is that person. We sent our two dogs here for board & train, and the transformation has been incredible. Not only did they come back better behaved, more confident, and more balanced... but they absolutely LOVE Ian. The way they get excited when they see him tells you everything you need to know. Ian doesn't just "train" dogs, he builds relationships with them and with the families too. He is always available to answer questions, give guidance, and support us long after training is done. That kind of dedication is rare. You can tell he has a real passion for this work and takes pride in every dog he helps. We also trust Nancy completely -- together they make such a strong, caring, and professional team. Knowing our dogs are with people who are patient, knowledgeable, and deeply invested in their well-being gives us total peace of mind. Because of Ian, our household is calmer, our dogs are happier, and we feel more confident as owners. That's priceless. If he ever went anywhere else, our dogs would follow -- and so would we. Highly, highly recommend!

5 star review for Ian... We have been working with Ian for a couple of months now and cannot recommend him highly enough! Our 3 year old German Shepherd/Husky mix, Otis, was leash reactive and walking anywhere with him was becoming very stressful. We reached out to Ian and promptly setup a training session at his facility in Covina. From the 1st session I could tell we had found the right trainer for our pup. Ian started the session with play and gaining an understanding of the issues we were having but also our dog's personality. He made the session fun for Otis and we really liked his style of training using positive reinforcement. He got to work straight away on reinforcing leash manners and teaching us what to practice at home. We had another session at the facility and then the next couple of sessions in our own neighborhood as that is where the leash reactivity was worse. The difference in Otis has been incredible. He is not only doing great on the leash and practically ignoring other dogs on our walks now, but he's also better behaved in general. He listens and responds better to commands. I'm now able to walk Otis past larger dogs (which was his main trigger) with basically no reaction and feel excited to walk with him. Ian is calm, confident and dedicated to bringing out the best in our pup. He makes sure that after each session my husband and I know what to practice with Otis and teaches us how to carry on the training without him there. He is not only training Otis but training us too. I wish we'd have found Ian sooner so we could have avoided so many stressful walks but I'm so grateful for all that Ian has done for Otis and us as a dog family. We're excited to continue our training with Ian and see what else we can accomplish with Otis's training!

We Absolutely love Ian as dog trainer! He understands how are 2 dogs have completely different personalities and he adjusts his training to their level and needs for them to enjoy and respond accordingly!

We have nothing but amazing things to say after boarding our 1 year old golden retriever here. Samantha was so responsive and answered all my questions leading up to boarding. We really appreciated the daily photo and video updates. Our dog loved the fun zone and we even got an Easter picture! Larrissa gave him an excellent groom and got an ear mat out so he was super fresh upon pickup. We feel so grateful to find a local place that truly cares about each animal and their wellness!

We always have such a great experience boarding our dog here! Communication is always excellent, and we really appreciate the daily pictures and updates--it gives us so much peace of mind. Whether it's for boarding or daycare, our dog always comes home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's such a comfort knowing he's in good hands every time we leave him. Highly recommended!

Karen H.

Dog On Fun is amazing! They took such great care of my dogs. They sent pictures every day so I knew they were having a great time. All of my questions were answered very quickly when I was making my reservations. WE WILL BE BACK!!

Beau now knows his "place" when someone comes to our door.

I have nothing but exemplary respect and reviews regarding the training by Ian Ford and Dog On Fun! Ian is turning our overly energetic 18 month old Doodle, Beau, into a real gentleman. He will ask what you want from the training and he meets AND exceeds those expectations. I know he could solve any problems or concerns anyone has about their dog. I fully trust Ian with Beau. He is a great guy and an excellent trainer! What Ian has done in a short amount of time is amazing! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone that wants a well trained and behaved dog. I will continue to have Ian work with Beau even as a refresher, just because I love what he does!!! If you are looking for a dog trainer you need to look no further than Ian Ford.

I imagined her making brownies, popcorn, having a BBQ and not turning off the grill afterwards. Carried away-then I remembered this is Molly, our favorite cat, and prepared to have someone else in our messy house. The manager "Mollie" was very organized. We, were very detailed. I organized food in one cabinet, with post-its for info, post-it where her room litterbox was after already giving info to the manager I think it helped make things simpler. We started getting daily reports, with "basics" box checked. They were thorough, precise, and complete. My Dad worked for Polaroid for 20 years, and these pet sitters were awesome at taking pictures. Every day we'd open up the emails and this noise would come out of our mouths: not ooh! Yecch! But...: Awwww, look at how cute she looks.

I will never use them again after my TERRIBLE experience. Initially used this service for a short business trip with success so tried again for a longer trip to see family between Christmas and NYE. The company sent a sitter I had never met who incorrectly used the pill injector on my sick, elderly cat and forced her to swallow the over inch-long applicator tip. Resulted in $3,000 emergency vet surgery to remove that I had to manage from out of town. So deeply stressful for me but mainly my poor elderly asthmatic cat!! They handled it but SO unnecessary and only happened bc of their bizarre business model where they pick whichever of their employees are available, not someone who knows your house/pet. So if you get one who knows what they're doing you don't necessarily get them again - it's totally random from the customer's perspective. Instead of enjoying my family I had to spend the time managing the emergency they created from afar, stressed and fuming that I trusted this company to send someone competent to care for my sweet older cat. After the first disastrous pill delivery issue they sent the **same person** again a day later who clearly doesn't know how to give a cat medication and she, again, incorrectly gave my cat her medication!!! My cat gets ill if she misses just one day, the medication is a high-dose steroid for her asthma. The employee did not know how to give her the pill, but still marked the medication as administered on their form (I only figured out it didn't happen when I read the notes) and instead of giving her the pill rubbed it on her gums -?!? I am FURIOUS for my poor cat and at the incompetence of this employee they continue to use, along with the management that assured me they know how to give cats medication and yet still sent this individual out after it was proved that they cannot give a cat medication effectively. The other employees seemed to be ok but I had no choice over who they sent over, meaning every visit was a gamble. If you need anything beyond the most basic service, avoid avoid avoid!!!

So this was my situation. My poor baby poodle Koji has been keeping our boxer Kiwi company outside…read morefor the last year. Kiwi has been really sick. Sadly, kiwi passed away and poor Koji needed some help. It was time to bring him back indoors! His hair was out of control! He was filthy, and needed major grooming. I mean MAJAHHH grooming. Check out the before and after pics... insane. You couldn't even see his eyes. I know bad fur mama. I searched for a local groomer and Sarah was the 1st to respond quickly! I got so lucky because someone had rescheduled and was able to bring Koji in immediately! Sarah is amazing. The minute Koji met her you can tell how passionate she is about her craft. She immediately connected with Koji, and gave me a brief consultation on how long it would take for the services. We left Koji with Sarah. Koji had a lot of work done! It took about 3 hours to make sure every area was given attention too. It's located by the West Covina mall -- so it wasn't a problem to kill some time. Koji got a full service groom ... which was teeth, nails, ears, sanitary shave, haircut/trim, skin check, bath, blueberry facial, and dry. He even came out with a cute bandana. We couldn't really style him because she had no choice but to shave his hair because it was so tangled. But You guys! OMG! He came out looking like a new dog and he smelled like a baby! . She did exceptional. I think there are very few groomers in this world who truly care about their clients and furry customers! Sarah is one of them -- she truly cares about you fur babies and will do whatever it takes to ensure the job is done with care. I highly recommend her for her grooming services! I saw she also offers a doggy day care. It's good to know I have someone I can trust to care for Koji when needed. I hardly give 5 stars unless I feel it's exceptional service--- and this groomer is!! I'll definitely be back! Thank you Sarah for your passion, your craft and attention to detail. Koji will definitely be back!
