What makes Managed Dogs different from other boarding places?

We’re kennel-free — dogs stay in my home with a yard, not in cages. It’s a safe, cozy, family-style environment.

Yosef is truly amazing ! I did a consult and training with him for my 3 month old puppy and learned so much. My pup happened to be incredibly receptive to the work, but had he needed more training I would have gone back to Yosef without hesitation. He has this grounded presence with dogs that seems almost magical. I couldn’t believe how quickly my pup understood commands with his style of training. I would recommend managed dogs to anyone with a pup!

Business response

Thank you so much for the kind words! Your pup was an absolute rockstar during our session, at 3 months old, having that level of focus and focus-building engagement is so fun to work with. Setting up that solid foundation early makes all the difference as they grow up. I’m so glad the consultation gave you the clarity and tools you needed, and you know where to find me if you ever want to build on it in the future!

Yosef is a miracle worker. My senior Pomeranian, Punch (11 years old), suffered from severe anxiety due to a stressful life transition we went through, which caused him to lose almost all of his fur to black skin disease. He was bald, stressed, and completely shut down. Since I found Managed Dogs we started intensive behavioral training, and it was the best decision I ever made. After 6 months (and still going) of incredibly hard, structured work, Punch is a completely different dog. His confidence skyrocketed, his joyful puppy-like energy is back, and his coat has entirely grown back in. Yosef’s deep understanding of dog psychology completely healed Punch inside and out. Truly high-end, expert care that is worth every penny.

Business response

Reading this brings the biggest smile to my face, thank you so much. Seeing Punch’s transformation over the last 6 months has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my work. Senior dogs hold such a special place in my heart, and seeing him regain his confidence, bring back that puppy-like spark, and grow his full coat back is proof of how powerful clear communication and routine can be. You deserve so much credit as an owner for your dedication and consistency throughout this process. I'm so proud of Punch, and I love continuing to work with him!

5/5

I found Managed Dogs by chance, and I’m glad I did. I adopted a Dachshund, Oliver, who had severe anxiety that caused many behavioral problems. Yosef was so wonderful with him! He provided Oliver with positive reinforcement that helped him gain confidence thus reducing his bad behaviors. Yosef also proved me with the skills to help Oliver moving forward. Overall it was a wonderful experience.

Business response

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Oliver is such a sweet dog, and seeing him build his confidence and overcome those anxious behaviors was so rewarding to watch. Rescue dogs often just need clear communication and reassurance to feel secure, but so much of his success comes down to your commitment to keeping up the training at home. I’m so glad I could give you both the tools for long-term success

Managed Dogs is in a league of its own. I’ve tried the usual walkers in the area, but Yosef is the first one who actually understands pack dynamics and behavior. I have a high-energy dog that usually comes back from walks still wound up—since starting these full-day hikes, he’s a completely different dog. Calm, tired, and actually listens better. It’s a premium service, but you get what you pay for. If you’re in WeHo or BH and want a professional instead of just a 'walker,' this is it.

Business response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! High-energy dogs need so much more than just physical exercise, they need mental engagement, clear boundaries, and proper pack leadership to truly decompress. Seeing him come back home calm, satisfied, and listening better is the best reward. I really appreciate your support and your kind words about our full-day hikes!
