But it's been great to feel part of the family.

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.

I've worked with a couple dog trainers in the past, and as others have mentioned in their reviews,…read moreLucy is by far the most intuitive, genuine, caring, and professional dog behaviorist I've ever met. On top of that, she's simply a gem of a human being to be around. Her positive, calm, and confident energy doesn't just affect your furry pals, it also carries over to us as owners. So much of working with your dog is exactly that, WITH your dog, not on your dog, and Lucy really helps you understand that difference. She explains not only the concepts but also the specific steps and actions you can take to apply them. It's clear she wants both you and your dog to succeed and to build a stronger, more trusting relationship. From our very first consultation call, I knew I wanted to work with her. She asked thoughtful, detailed questions that showed genuine interest in our 6 year old German Shepherd, Otto. Rather than making blanket statements or assumptions, she took the time to make a thorough assessment and truly listened to what I wanted to work on. The call itself lasted nearly an hour, and I left feeling both assured and excited to start training. Fast forward to now, only two sessions in, and I've already seen a remarkable change in Otto's demeanor. More importantly, my own understanding of him has deepened. I can read him so much better than before. Lucy helped me realize that Otto was actually suppressing many of his classic "shepherd-y" behaviors which were on overddrive, using obedience instead to mask his stress rather than true calmness. As we focus on helping Otto feel relaxed without always being in "lead and protect mode," Lucy also honors what makes him who he is. She's firm when she needs to be, but always kind and respectful. It's clear she has all our best interests at heart and truly prioritizes Otto's mental and physical wellbeing. Since starting with Lucy, we've even had other dog owners ask who our trainer is while out with Otto - that alone speaks volumes about her work. She's also incredibly responsive, prompt, and communicative. I feel so lucky to have found Lucy and can't wait to continue our journey with her and Otto.

Lucy is the owner of Happy Dog Club and the trainer/ dog psychologist/ dog behaviorist. She has…read moreover 10 years of experience working with dogs and she has an Instagram page too - https://www.instagram.com/thehappydogclubla/ Very adaptive training and plans made completely for the individual settings. Love how custom tailored the training sessions are. I believe she also does consultation on your dog prior to make sure it is a good fit for both of you. She offers group sessions, private training, and mobile meetings. She can meet you at your home or in other areas where your dog may need help, such as dog parks and social areas. She has experience with all kinds of dogs, large small, aggressive, scared, pack dogs, shelter dogs, rescues etc. She often time works with rescue and even worked with a team out in Korea on rescues dogs. She works on aggressive dogs, and barkative dogs, even my dog is a samoyed that barks a ton and has attachment towards the owner. We worked on calming my dog Maui from barking at the door, and anxiety when I leave the house, pulling towards the door, pulling towards the car, barking in the car, and being too reactive Lucy has a very calm, understanding way of working with dogs. Extremely patient and non-judgmental, flexible, and listens to your needs and your dog's behavioral issues. Her approach is to find the root causes of the issue and try to provide solutions and in a sense, help translate why your dog feels a certain way and how to move forward knowing all these aspects. We worked on resource guarding, teaching Maui to play with toys, learning to give space and waiting (patience work) being more responsive to commands especially when there is food, treats, and excitement around. Not to have Maui jump on guests or jump when he is too excited or headbutt others when there is a treat. Being more respectful and mindful. She does leave you with plenty of homework to practice and hone down each week's session so you can move forward the next week. I did 8 sessions and saw a massive improvement in calm, anxiety, and more importantly took away how to understand my dog better and why he feels anxious, barkative, scared, etc, and how to redirect or even give comfort in a way that dogs need not how human think dogs need. Lucy works primarily in LA but often have clients outside the city in the valley, Orange County OC, etc. So feel free to reach out to her even if you live outside of LA!

Dog-E-Den is truly the best dog daycare! We started bringing our terrier mix here after CityDog…read moreWeHo closed, and honestly wish we had discovered them sooner. Our dog actually pulls me to the door when we walk up, which she never used to do at her previous daycare. The staff is friendly and consistent, so they build relationships with the dogs and put them at ease. The cameras are a nice plus so I can watch her play while I'm at work and they always send report cards with pictures of her throughout the day. They also have grass patches in each dog area so they don't have to do their business on the floor like other places. Prices are comparable (and on the cheaper side), the hours are perfect, and they do fun monthly events for the dogs which really goes above and beyond. We're extremely thrilled with Dog-E-Den and highly recommend. I truly don't understand the negative reviews here so please take them with a grain of salt and check it out for yourself!

Drop offs should not be as hard as they are…read more If purple head girl is there- plan to wait and have to call/knock to be helped. Today 2 girls were in the back on the other side of the door but I had to call and knock and wait 10 minutes making me super late to work.

Purple head told/yelled at me she didn't care if she was making me late and called me a bitch as she was going to the back. She has a horrible work ethic and personality and intentionally goes out of her way to make the interactions between her and I slow, disrespectful and frustrating. She or the store needs to figure out time management during high peak drop off times to avoid disrespecting their customers time. Please do better Dog E Den
