As a Vizsla, he is prone to hyperactivity, but we often get comments from friends and strangers that he is the most calm and relaxed Vizsla they have ever met. This is due to his contentment and confidence gained through training. Our pup has looked forward to his weekly dingo doggies day with complete enthusiasm for the past 6 years. It is truly the highlight of his week and a place where he continues to grow in self-confidence and mastery of tasks. Beyond the usual training, Renee clued us into a diet change recently that has nearly eliminated our dog's life-long allergies and he no longer has to eat a prescription diet. I can't give Dingo Doggies enough stars. This is truly a special place and we feel so lucky to get to shape our dog's future here! The education we have received will guide us with our future dogs as well. It's a way of life.

I wanted to start my puppy Bruce Wayne off on the right foot and there is really no better place in LA to do that than Dingo. My dog was at Dingo for about 8 months until he was a little over 14 months old and he is such a well-adjusted dog due in large part to this place. The staff and Renee helped us build a wonderful foundation where my dog feels secure and fulfilled. Renee was so committed to getting us off on the right foot. She let me know early on when there were behavioral issues she saw in my puppy and gave me direction on what to do with him at home. I know that all the Dingo trainers care so much about the dogs and everyone there puts the dogs first. It was a relief knowing that I would drop him off and he wouldn't pick up any bad habits or come back smelling like dog pee (as happens at most daycares). Instead, the staff helped ensure he learned how to be around other dogs without reacting, practiced "place," worked on leash training, and so much more. I will say that the cost of sending a dog to Dingo is very expensive. I could not keep my dog there long-term though I wish I could, but the time he spent there was worth it to me. We will miss everyone at Dingo! But we leave the Dingo pack in a great place with lessons we will carry through the rest of my dog's life. If you can afford it and live in the area, you won't find a better place to care for your dog.

I always thought this behavior is rooted in her and can't be fixed easily, but within one session, Sheri changed the game. Now she walks pass other dogs like she doesn't even sees them. Our daily walks are also so much easier now that she doesn't pull the leash and rush out doors anymore. Sheri achieved this through a simple methodology where we claim the role of the leader in the pack, guiding the dog to follow our reactions. She taught me a lot about dog psychology and helped me realize that some of my behaviors were not expressions of love but rather spoil and confuse my dog. p.s. I was a bit worried about the negative reviews initially. However, upon realizing that none of them were related to the effectiveness of her methods, I would say those negative reviews actually prove that her approach really works lol

The stress became so intense that she even developed stress colitis after a routine grooming visit she had handled many times before. Nathalie at Les Pawtounes Dog Training was incredibly thoughtful and supportive through all of it. She didn't treat Kiki like a "problem dog" or use a one-size-fits-all approach. She really understood that Kiki was grieving, looked at what was driving the behavior, and gave me a clear, well-rounded plan to help her feel safe, calm, and more resilient. Everything was explained in a way that made sense, and I left feeling like I had real tools to help my dog. I'm so grateful for her compassion, knowledge, and care. If your dog is struggling with anxiety, behavior changes, or stress after a major life change, I highly recommend Nathalie.

What a waste of $200. Here's a disclaimer, I am not talking about the merit of this trainer. I am…read moresure she must be great at what she does, considering all these glowing reviews. This review is only about how useless she was for us. I own a teeny tiny now 6 month old maltese. He is a good dog for the most part, but about 2 months ago he was a pretty bad leash walker. Regular puppy stuff, 4 mo old puppies usually don't know how to walk on a leash if they've never done it before. He was more like a deflated balloon as soon as we put the leash on him. So I called Angie after reading all these reviews. Enough to say her training methods are not for us. I am all about hippie dippie positive reinforcement, and she's not. She told me about some methods she's had to use with more reactive dogs, which I guess one might need to but I am not comfortable trusting her to walk my dogs. During our consultation when Gustave wouldn't walk by her side, she stomped her foot really hard in front of him and he got really scared. I had never seen him scared like that before this. And guess what? That only made him more crazy, instead of making him walk properly. I still let it continue because she sounded like she knew what she was doing and actually gave her a check for 5 lessons. When we got back from the consultation, Gustave was a different dog, and not in a good way. He was running around aimlessly, being aggressive with us, jumping around, just the opposite effect of what a training lesson should be. So I called it off and ended up paying just $200 for the initial consultation. The only thing I got out of those $200 was knowledge of what kind of trainer I don't want for my dog. Btw, I waited 2 months to write this review because now Gustave walks perfectly on a leash, without any forceful training methods (and this was after we took a 2 week break in between after his neuter). This makes me feel confident to say if your dog is not an overly reactive dog and you're just looking for a trainer to correct minor issues, this dog trainer might not be the one for you.

I found LA dog posse online and, after speaking with Amanda over email, I knew that it was the right place. She was very helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process, not to mention affordable. Other places I researched tried to nickel and dime me for every little thing (holiday weekend, strict pick up and drop off times, etc.) When I came to drop off my dog Olive, Amanda welcomed her and introduced her to her own 2 dogs, one at a time. She sent me pictures and video updates of Olive, playing happily with her dogs in the backyard. When I picked up Olive, she was playful and in good spirits. I knew she had gotten plenty of exercise, which she needs with all that energy. This is such a better alternative than the kennels or other boarding places. Even the best ones still leave your dog in a kennel for 95% of the day. I am so glad I went with LA dog posse instead!

Not only was he 5 months old and full of energy and separation anxiety (not an easy guy to watch!), but he also had just gotten a bad rash from an allergic reaction right before I went away. Amanda had no problem giving him his meds. She offered to give him a little Benadryll and switched him over to grain-free food to help ease his itching (with my permission, of course). She even gave him an oatmeal bath! My return flight arrived late in the evening, and Amanda dropped him off at my house so he would be there when I got home. Knowing that Cosi was in such loving and attentive hands made me feel so much better about being away from him. Amanda sent me lots of detailed updates about how he was doing, as well as photos. He was in great shape when I returned-- his itching was almost gone, and he was a happy and healthy little guy. She has a big backyard for the pups to play in and the dogs sleep in her house with her. Cosi clearly had a lot of fun and playtime. I'm so grateful for the wonderful care he received and would recommend Amanda 100%.

They are professional, incredibly communicative, reliable, and so caring. Cookie gets genuinely excited when she sees the girls who take care of her, which says everything. The same two girls have been taking care of Cookie for more than two years now, and I think that really says a lot about the company. It's so nice to see such a low turnover rate with pet sitters because it shows that the people working there are happy with what they do and happy with the company they work for. Heather and Bianca and Jeanetta are amazing. Not only do we trust them completely with Cookie's safety and well-being, but we also trust them in our home and with the security of our home.

One of the biggest signs that a daycare is doing something right is how excited a dog is to go back, and Daisy is always happy when we arrive. What really stands out is the environment. Instead of being stuck indoors on concrete, the dogs have access to a beautiful garden with real grass, trees, and plenty of space to run, play, and relax. It feels much more like a home than a traditional boarding facility. I also appreciate the daily photos and videos. It's reassuring to see Daisy interacting with the other dogs, enjoying herself, and being well cared for while I'm away. The updates give me peace of mind and make it easy to see that the dogs are receiving personal attention and affection. The owner is knowledgeable, experienced, and clearly understands dog behavior. The dogs in her care are friendly, well-socialized, and carefully matched. I've always felt comfortable leaving Daisy there, whether for daycare or overnight boarding. It's not easy finding someone you trust with your dog, but TLG Doggy Daycare has earned that trust. Daisy comes home happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun she's had. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and enriching environment for their dog. Daisy and I are very grateful to have found this place! This one is for Google
