L A School For Dogs - Best Dog School in California

My 8 month old puppy recently graduated from the 3 week program and I cannot even tell you the difference it has made for not only my puppy, but for me. Amber was her trainer and I cannot thank her enough. I started to see positive behavior changes during the first week. On walks, my mini bernedoodle always wanted to jump towards people and other animals while pulling me down the street. This breed of dog is known to be anxious and I tried everything I could before enrolling her in the program. I guess I just couldn’t “speak dog” well enough because after my puppy graduated from the 3 week program she could heel, sit, stay, go to place, and come when called. The 3 week program really helped my puppy’s anxiety - she now knows what to do in those stressful situations. At my initial consultation, I could immediately tell Amber really understood the psychology of a dog. My puppy could barely contain her excitement to see Amber every morning. While some may think the program is a tad expensive, I could not have gotten results as quickly as I did anywhere else. You could do private hour sessions at another dog training facility, but in reality it will cost you the same overtime and take much longer - especially if you are inconsistent. What’s also great about the their 3 week program is that my puppy was not trained in a warehouse setting like most places. She was taken to public settings and learned in a real environment with all of the distractions. You will have to practice with your dog outside of school hours, but the beauty of it is that your trainer will lay out all of the groundwork for you during your 1on1 sessions. Your dog will know what to do, you just have to learn how to communicate with your dog. All that being said, I HIGHLY recommend LASFD - especially the 3 week program. I am sure all of the trainers are spectacular, but a special shout out to Amber for her work with Zuma ❤️

We highly recommend L A School for Dogs based on our 3 week training experience with Amber as our trainer. (Ours meaning my husband, myself and , of course, our dog Larry). We needed training as much as he did. Amber was such a patient guide and teacher giving gentle yet firm correction and instruction throughout our entire experience. She is thoughtful, intuitive, knowledgeable and thoroughly professional. She truly cares about shaping your pup into being the best dog they can be. Thank you so very much!
