Had my first private lesson today with Adelita and it went just as good as one can hope for. She is incredible at what she does and is super personable and quite funny. Can't wait to continue Johnnys (dog) training with her. read more

Since my dog is looking at me with that insistent stare that says we've got about 30 seconds to leave on a walk, here's my five-word review of Adelita's Good Dog K9 group training (before an entirely different task vaults to the top of my to-do list): Easy. Friendly. Caring. Insightful. Fun. Okay, six: Successful. Now if you'll excuse me, we're gonna go practice our leash manners. read more

We have done both private lessons and the group lessons for our two pups (sisters). Adelita taught us so much in the private lesson and the group class. The pack walks are a great bonus where our dogs can practice being around other dogs and out in the community. She genuinely cares so much about the dogs and their owners and tries to to help each dog be successful. I highly recommend her training programs! read more

our 1yr old pupper was a madman on leash. he was very reactive around other dogs. through group & private classes w adelita, he is no longer reactive. getting him to focus on me even though surrounded with other dogs broke him of his reactivity. adelita is very patient & very good with the group. the best part os that you can repeat the class for half price. we did a couple repeat seasons & it really helped. the other really nice thing about adelitas training classes is that they are only 30 min. that way your dog doesnt get burned out. its a lot for their little brains & adelita sets your dog up for success w the bite size sessions. highly recommended! read more

Adele is a great dog trainer. We've been working with her to train our rescue Puff, who is dealing with reactivity and anxiety issues, and she has been an incredible resource. Cannot recommend her enough! read more

The trainer Adelita was great with my dog Charm! She has done so much better at basic commands and walks. I took the beginner class and I was surprised how much she learned in such a short period of time. I would absolutely recommend taking this class to anyone that wants to learn along with their dog in a friendly and relaxed environment. read more

I took Adelita's dog obedience course and was so happy that I did! Adelita is so patient, clear with her instructions, and clearly knows her stuff. She makes the lessons fun for both the dogs and the owners. I especially loved that she would address specific obedience issues when needed. read more

Adelita is INCREDIBLE. My puppy has become such a sweet, attentive, smart little guy - everyone is blown away by how well behaved and adjusted he is, and it's in a huge part due to Adelita! He's not even a year old and he's able to be an office pup already, and I cannot imagine this being achievable without Adelita's help. She trained me to understand his language better, and she gave me all the tools I need to keep his fundamentals sharp. Plus, she's SO kind and generous with her time and knowledge. I can't recommend her enough. read more

I loved working with Adelita. She truly understands dogs. I had a few private sessions then joined the 6 week group classes. My dog had anxiety issues and I wanted to stop this early on. So we started training at 6 months. At first she was afraid of the other dogs but soon they all became her buddies. It was nice to have a safe environment to bond with other dog owners. Adelita is very patient and allows you to move at your own pace. I actually took the group classes twice. I can see a real difference in my dogs behavior, thanks to Adelita. She actually trained me as well as my pup. I look forward to taking classes from her again in the future. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. In fact I've already sent her a couple of referrals. read more

What began as an adopted difficult to walk puppy, is now a very well behaved puppy. Ellie Mae and I took Adele's course and both came out for the better. I learned a lot myself. Adele takes time to help the individual when she notices a dog or the owner not catching as quickly. The group training also helped with Ellie's social skills. We highly recommend this class. Thank you Adele read more

My dog and I have been through two 6 week sessions. My large dog had a lot of issues with socializing with other dogs, getting too excited, and jumping on people. He is sooo much better now. He showed so much improvement in the first sessions, we decided to do another session. He still has a ways to go, and we'll continue with the classes for awhile. My dog is excited as we're driving up to the lession. He enjoys the mental stimulation, so it's certainly a positive experience for him. The training has really calmed him down, which really helps make him (and me) happier. Adelita is great with the dogs. She's also training me to better work with his personality and traits. Overall, I'd recommend Adelita to anyone looking to train their dog. read more

Adelita is awesome! We will continue to use her for our wild puppy. Highly recommend these classes.

I took the beginner class taught by Adele with my 5yr old pembroke corgi! Dewy enjoyed the classes and they were just what we needed to get our pup behaving. There are even opportunities outside of class where dogs can meet and have social interactions. I would highly recommend Good K9 Training for anyone needing some lessons to help with your dog training at home. read more

We completed 3 private sessions of behavior training with Adele. We adopted an 8 month old Australian cattle mix from the LA animal shelter. The first two weeks were really tough. He constantly jumped on and at us, nipped our hands and feet, ran away from us and barked at us. Adele taught us training exercises to curb his impulsive behavior and helped us build a trusting relationship with our dog. She taught us to understand how to work with our dog's thought process to encourage positive behavior in a gentle and effective way. Training is a continuing process and we're learning that training can be fun for both dogs and humans! I was afraid that we would have to return our dog to the shelter if his behavior became unsafe for us, especially with our child. Yet after our sessions with Adele, I feel confident that he will be a good fit. Thank you! read more

We took our pup Zeus to Adele's training classes this past summer. What a difference from start to finish. Her skills and teaching methods really helped out a lot on training our 5 month old Husky. Adele is very tentative and helpful to each client. The methods Adele taught us will definitely help us continue to train him into the young adult pup he will become. read more

I adopted a puppy two months ago and knew I wanted to invest in some obedience classes so that my pup and I could communicate. I also knew doing group training classes would be a great way to socialize her.

Adelita is great! We started off with a private lesson when we got our puppy Rex who is a giant handful. That set us up with some basics to work on until we were able to join her group class. I really liked the group class setting as it was a good way to help Rex with some socialization on top of getting training lessons. Adelita always tries to give us a few extra knowledge gems per class which I'm sure everyone in the class appreciated. If you can show up early or stay a few minutes after the class, Adelita is very helpful in answering questions. read more

This review is for Adele's private lesson. Our 7mos old Dobie came to us as with an unknown history of abuse. Ruger is the type of dog to urinate/dedicate himself to when nervous or stressed, he's attached to his safe zone which is his bed. We had tried walking on a leash before so he could destress but no luck (he is not treat motivated or toy motivated) After our private lesson with Adelita she gave us some tips to help ease his anxiety before his walk and actually got him walking!!! Me and my partner were left speechless! It's only been 6 days but his progress since then is amazing. He is Now walking everyday and looks forward to it! We have another private lesson with Adelita soon and can't wait! We signed up for her obedience class for him just to reinforce some basic commands which I will also be leaving a review for! :) read more

Adele was an amazing trainer! She's so patient with all types of dogs, my rescue puppy had some reactive issues after being abused and abandoned but Adele accepted him into puppy classes with open arms. While he still has some issues, he's a lot better at socializing with other dogs! He also learnt so many new tricks and he loved going to class (I'm sure for the treats mainly). I looked at many other trainers and companies (and worked with a different trainer 1st), and Adele's style is by far the most understanding and made training fun (plus the price I paid for group classes was very reasonable and she even did a couple extra classes for free). Even 3 months after my classes ended, she still emails to check in and invite everyone to group hikes! If you're looking for a trainer, look no further! read more

I highly recommend Adelita as a trainer. I felt like I got so much more for my money! Adelita makes herself available to you and your pup and is VERY understanding. Honestly, dog training is people training and Adelita gets that. The dogs have fun, the people have fun, and everyone learns something about their dogs and themselves. And most of all THE TRAINING IS REALISTIC! If you take the obedience classes you are outside with ALL the distractions so you learn how to measure the expectations. I feel like my 9 month old puppy, Opal, is forever part of a doggy family. read more

I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback 15 months old. And like many Ridgebacks they need some training. Adele training philosophy works. She has the experience and patience to work with any dog. I enjoyed every minute of it. The entire program and experience I had with the other dog owners was great. I will continue to take Brembo as often as I can. So if your looking for a dog trainer. I highly recommend Adele. You won't be disappointed. read more

Adele's 6-week basic obedience training class exceeded every expectation I had. Every class we learned basic commands alongside ~10 other dogs and owners, which provided just the right amount of socialization. In addition to that, Adele was able to meet 1:1 to target specific areas of improvement for my rescue dog which I found extremely helpful. Overall, Adele's attentiveness, care, and dedication are unmatched. I would highly recommend her to anyone with a new dog, a rescue, or to someone who "hasn't gotten around" to training quite yet. read more

Adele has years of experience under her belt and a clear love of dogs. When we first began training, I wasn't sure how it would go, but she was constantly watching and observing moments to give the best advice. Adele seems to lead people to the answer instead of giving it outright, which definitely aids in learning as a new dog owner. I would recommend her for any new dog owner looking to grow with their dog in a friendly new environment. read more

DO NOT USE THIS PLACE !!! 1st time caller simply to inquire - I asked if she discriminated against any breed and she seemed turned off by that question, but to me It's a fair question. I told her I had a blue nose pit that is 1milliin percent good and she said she would have to meet my dog. I asked about what other types of training they offered besides the good citizen ship And she said she wasn't sure that she would need to make Sure it's a good fit. Already, I knew we were not a good fit. Then I asked what the prices were and she says $ 170 oh I mean $175 - and smuggly threw in that she'll be raising her prices in 2020. To what, I asked, to which she replied "hmm I don't know that, I haven't figured it out" (price is of little concern, especially if it's a good thing for my dog) She seemed busy or driving or something - maybe she should not have picked up the phone if she was in a mood. I don't know. I won't be attending any of her classes. Seemed like she was in a bad mood and to me no matter how perfect my Pibble is she was going to have doubts. Don't judge before you even have a chance to meet her. I would stay away from this "dog trainer" she discriminates against bullies. So if you have one, don't waste your time w her Response to her response to me I said that some of the dogs in my current training situation were aggressive and there were not enough people to monitor the situation and I was worried about my dog - I told you she was a pacifist - I do not want private training - I prefer group training- she is a pacifist and not an aggressive bone in her body. But all you heard was Pittbull. It's interesting that to me that I tell you other dogs are going after my dog, yet, you feel it's imperative to evaluate my dog. I get it but you are not for us. We do prefer someone who isn't going to Have a preset fear to my friendly dog. She lives w 2 old dogs that are blind and one w 3 legs combined weight for both is 25lbs. Your discrimination is showing - especially when you say you do t work w dogs that bite- no one does- I wouldn't either - where in our conversation did I say she bites- We have found a great place that doesn't breed discriminate. Thanks read more

Theo and I thoroughly enjoyed our 6 week dog training group classes. We learnt to sit, stay, down, come --- an I learnt patience. Adele is an amazing trainer that gives her full attention, dedication and personalized coaching if/when needed. I highly recommend--- you and your dog will love it! read more

I took my 4-month old puppy to Adelita's basic obedience classes (6 weeks) and had a great experience. Getting to interact with the trainer and ~10 other dogs / owners was great socialization for my puppy. The lessons were well paced and allowed us to go home and practice without having to remember too many new tricks / techniques. I really enjoyed Adelita's approach and how fun she was able to make the classes. There were also some really nice touches at "graduation" that made me reflect on how much progress was made over the sessions. I would highly recommend seeking out Adelita's training expertise, whether for new puppies or older dogs that could use an obedience refresher. read more

Adele really takes the time to know you and your pet which a lot of other care givers neglect. I think she's been in the LA/Burbank/Toluca Lake area helping dog owners and their fur babies forever! So many business owners knew her on our walks. Clearly she is a loved person. This was a good feeling for me. I had peace of mind knowing someone like "the Dog Whisperer" would be taking care of my chocolate lab and cockapoo. She even gave my cat a little time on visits. Training-wise it really is apparent she has been doing dog training successfully for decades because dogs just gravitate to her. I learned a lot in the first 2 sessions. We got a carpet tile right away after and that has been great. If you want a kind soul to help you with your dog you should definitely use Good Dog K9 Training and Services and Adele. We are very happy with all of the sessions. Kona and Zoey seem to want more!! No biting, no jumping. Just calm cool little love bugs that are happy. read more

After a plea for help her on Yelp Adele came and helped my dog. . Backstory. Chips first owner was not patient and did not train him in a positive way. He then moved across the us and into another owner before me..At 5 months old I got this.cuddly ball.of fur with some nerves. 2 weeks later he got a puppy fracture and needed surgery. As he hit 1 yr old he became afraid of everything and at times aggressive. More scared and nervous. I have trained dogs, rescue dogs. Help each week with dogs but with him I was losing it. Chip was in every puppy class,earned good canine completion and was socialized daily. Now he wont leave my side. Only eats foods if his friends do first. 10 days ago I had leg surgery. 0 weight bearing allowed and I live upstairs alone. Every friend ,neighbor, family member chip loves tried to walk him but he sat and refused to go.. Even pulled out his harness.. So after breaking my splint I broke down. I do not have much money but needed something to get us out of the house. Adele had an idea for a temporary fix. Until I am healed and can start new classes. She came over met me and Chip. Loaned me this seat. Which helps me balance and Chip get air..He loved it.. Adele gave me a lot of Information and right away Chip liked her. I am grateful and thankful for her time. read more

Adelita is awesome. I did a private lesson and group lessons with my dog and we both learned a lot. She is both patient and very knowledgeable. I have a reactive dog and she really helped me to not only learn how to handle him in specific situations, but why the behavior happens and what the modification is intended to do. It can be overwhelming training a dog and understanding what works because so much of it is timing and body language, but Adelita broke everything down and I'm able to apply her teachings to situations that come up that might not have been specifically gone over in the lesson. I definitely recommend. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions because she has a lot of knowledge to impart. read more

Adele is Pawsome! I'm a dogsitter and had a small dog that was dominant and being aggressive with others. She came to my place to observe in my environment and has helped me as well as the little dog. Her obedience lessons are very informative and she is truly amazing with animals. I highly recommend her for private or group lessons! Woof ! read more

My pup just graduated Adelita's 6 week basic obedience training class. The classes were so fun and we got to meet a bunch of new friends. My dog did amazing in the classes and has made so much progress since the first class! Adelita really pays attention to everyone and gives personalized advice on what you're doing right and what you can work on/how you can work on it. She answered all the questions we had. She put a lot of effort into every class and at the end we got to have a little celebration with some cute games and prizes! Definitely recommend her program!(: read more

Our 5 month old puppy Luna just "graduated" from her first training course with Adele. She was shy and intimidated by other dogs when we began & now she is brave enough to think she's a BIG dog! Adele helped guide us with how to work with a puppy, getting her to focus and learn her basics. We realize we have a long path ahead, but thanks to Adele we are headed in the right direction. Thank you Adele!!! read more

Adelita has been helping us with walking our three pups for the last few weeks, and it's like she's always been part of the gang. Our oldest gal is grumpy and usually takes a while to warm up to anyone, but on Adelita's very first visit, you'd have thought they were old pals. She treats our dogs like they were her own, and we always get daily updates, frequently with photos. Now that the ranch is up and running, we can't wait to be able to bring everyone over for a day of fun outdoors. We know they'll be in good hands! read more

I can't speak highly enough because words aren't sufficient in the praise this company and it's founder/owner deserve. I met said proprietor 11 years ago for assistance with my (still thriving) puppy! 10 years later my family welcomed a 3 mo/old cocker spaniel into our lives. Baby Finley and Sir Lancelot are our world! When I reconnected with Good Dog K9 Training, the CEO (I did not ask permission to release name so we are going with variations of the assumed name "business owner") came to our house, provided free consultation time and within a day, Baby Finley was enrolled in a group class. Several weeks later, we all attended his graduation ceremony. Good Dog K9 Training pulled out all the stops!! There was a recapitulation of our training, an obstacle course, games, awards, personalized notes, and ceremonious gifts to show the personal touch this amazing professional demonstrates to make you feel special and important. And... I haven't even begun to speak about the company's or owner's professional prowess!!! It is simply off-the-hook. They offer groups, privates and so much more. So grateful for GOOD DOG K9 TRAINING and recommend nothing higher read more

Adel is AMAZING!!! My dog Naynay is a 9 months French bulldog, super hyper... And because I work full time I didn't really have time to play with her, she needs attention and I need to know her better. But we never find a way to figure out how. So we've been looking for a trustable and good reviewed dog trainer, then we found Adel! I didn't know she's that great after I saw what happened in the class!!! Trust me, it's so worth it... When she first met Naynay, she calms her right away, and she made Naynay's so behaved... I could hardly believe my eyes! And she also made me a better dog owner, not only the way how to train her, but also a way to think for her and cherish her more... I am really happy with the results and I would LOVE to have another class with Adel soon, she's wonderful!!! Her love to animal is the thing that touched me the most. After class she texted me to get the new food for my dog and giving me tips. Very responsible! If you want your dog to be more happy and more behaved, I highly suggest Adel! read more

We have a rescue pup who suffered from anxiety and trauma. Adelita has been helping us socialize him and he's now taking her obedience classes. We have seen such a huge improvement in his behavior and he is now a happy and well adjusted dog. Adelita is very passionate about her job, she loves dogs and is patient and kind. She has always been great at following up and always stays in touch to see how our pup is getting on. Thank you Adelita!!! read more

I contacted Adelita via her website and she responded rather quickly, which I appreciated. One star for that. We emailed back and fourth a couple times discussing rates and eventually I scheduled a session. I was pretty positive I would be investing in the 6 sessions. Even discussed including my daughter's frenchie. She advised that she would be making an assessment on the dog which seemed fine to me. Scheduled for Saturday 10/14 at 4pm. A little backstory on my pup: I rescued a 4 month old Boston Terrier and explained to her that she wasn't wanted where she was and had been put out into the garage. That broke my heart so I took her in. I had no desire to own a dog but she needed me and I decided to help. I have never owned a dog before so I wanted to learn about potty training, walking her on her leash, socializing her with our frenchie and how to keep her okay being alone while I'm at work. Adelita arrived over an hour late, although she did text me and let me know she was running behind it turned out to be a little over an hour late. No biggie. It's LA $&@!? Happens! I was still anxious to learn some stuff but it turned out to just be a lot of talking. The puppy had a little cold and Adelita automatically assumed it was kennel cough and scared my next door neighbor when his dog tried to say hello. That threw me off a little bit but thought okay she's a professional she must know something I don't? Well I right away made her an appointment with the vet to have her checked out and she did not have kennel cough. Just allergies from this dry dusty heat and the winds. Oh well better safe than sorry I guess but she assumed wrong! I had the puppy since the evening of Wednesday 10/11. The puppy had not had any accidents like ZERO. she seemed so grateful to be indoors and loved she was having no problem using the pads I laid out for her. Her first and only accident ended up while Adelita was there literally sitting next to her lol the puppy peed on my area rug! First and only accident even up to now. No joke. Adelita did share a lot of information regarding where she buys her dog food, what type of leash I should use, and suggested looking for an elderly person who may be able use the company during the day so that the pup would not feel alone all day. This is where the second star comes in because it's a great suggestion. That's literally it. I was really hoping to find confidence in meeting with her and learning but instead I felt discouraged and judged. Oh she also did time check me 10minutes before the hour was up & she didn't seem very interested in continuing any business w us in the future? She simply suggested I take her to a vet which I was planning to do anyway. In my opinion $125 is way too expensive for a conversation/assessment. She didn't even offer to give me a discount for being late. With aps like WAG! out there now, It seems more affordable options are available if you do a little bit of research. Save your money and use Google or you may end up feeling a little robbed like I did. read more
