Great Dog Trainers

by Miller BT

I have taken 2 dogs to them, and they have done a fantastic job in training them for me.

2 of my friends have also gone to them and they love them.

Thanks for all the help.

Awesome Dog Training at Hollywood Dog Training School

by debedix

I have two Siberian Huskys both over 1 year old. I wanted to look into training and my friend told me about Hollywood Dog Training School. He has a great dane who had a great experience there, so I gave them a call.

I spoke with Rick who said I could stop by anytime with or without my dogs to see a demonstration.

I took both my dogs (Nanook and Neeko). Rick had one of his trainers show me another siberian husky that had been trained there previously and was currently boarding there. I think her name was Nikki. Even though the Nikki was trained over a year previously, she still knew "all the moves" and looked great. She did off leash heel, sit, sit stay, down, down stay, and recall. It was awesome. I signed up my dogs the same day.

My main goal was to be able to hike in the mountains with my huskies with no leash. I knew from researching, and almost every piece of literature that I read advised "never take a husky off leash" as they are born and bred to RUN. I decided to sign them up for training with a "lets see how it goes" attitude. I was hoping, but not expecting to be able to hike off leash.

My dogs were in training for about two months. They were trained by Mia and then by Diana. I visted them almost weekly and saw their progress. The trainers were awesome with the dogs! Both dogs were super happy and they really loved and respected their trainers, who loved the dogs as well :-)

Nanook and Neeko learned on and off leash, heel, sit, stay, down, and come, with different variations. They also learned NO. I couldn't believe how good they looked.

Before they came home, I had several lessons with Diana for both dogs. The dogs were ready, but she wanted to make sure that I was ready to handle them as well before they could come home. She didn't just tell me what to do, she explained why I was doing it and what the dogs were seeing from me.

On delivery day, Diana brought Nanook and Neeko to my home. I wanted to see how I would handle them on our hikes so we went to the mountain. I was a little nervous when the leashes came off but Diana was 100% confident and the dogs could sense that as well.

Both dogs did awesome! They never got more than 30 feet ahead of me without looking back for me. Nanook and Neeko had 1000 times more fun than they did on their leash. They were able to chase birds, rabbits and run to their hearts content. They both came immediately when I would call or blow my whistle. I was amazed. I am 100% confident that I will have no problems with them at all. It was also a ton easier for me, not having to struggle with two dogs on a leash.

I am so happy that I signed them up and it was worth every penny. I would recommend it to everyone!!

LA's best dog training

by cyndigrn

Being new to Los Angeles with a 7 month old German Shepard, we knew she was needing some training, but, had a dilemma on who…..I researched several different trainers in the area, and after a year of research and continued struggles of dealing with my precious Shepard, I decided on Hollywood Dog Training School. My husband and I had a weekend where Maggie spent a weekend with us out of town as she had many weekends, however this particular weekend we had left her crate behind, and when we left her in the hotel room, she commenced to tear up 2 bed pillows and a remote control (picture attached)

After such weekend we made a visit to HDTS, we expected to see the school and take Maggie home and make a decision to bring her back later,…………………..NO we saw the School and a demonstration and let Maggie begin her transformation immediately!!

Rick and his trainers are so in tune with the dogs they train it is amazing to see how they work with each dog! Diana was Maggie’s trainer and she was the absolute perfect trainer for Maggie. Diana may only be a minute big, but she can handle any size dog, and she does it with skill, love and ease! But training our dog was not all we got from HDTS. They trained us, as well as made sure we were confidant in what our dog had learned and how to continue in the disciplines we both had learned. There isn’t a price you can put on the feeling you get from having a happy trained dog. We will be forever grateful for Rick impressing on us the importance to let our dog “work” as she was intended to do! All I can say now is THANK YOU Rick and Diana!

Great Dog Trainers

by DrivThruBandit10

I rescued my Irish setter from a shelter a few years and he was never trained. It was getting to the point where I had to do something with Shamus!!! Ever since I took him to Hollywood Dog Training School, he is now a properly behaved animal. :) I don't even have to lock him up anymore when I have guests come over!

Excellent Service!

by rosalinmoor

I have been going here for years now. My dog loves the atmosphere and always comes home in a good mood. Where other dog walkers/groomers treat their "clients" just as a meal ticket, Johnny and Ty truly take an interest in knowing and caring for the the dogs in their care. I recommend them to everyone who cares about their pet. You really get your money’s worth on the dog walking and overnight stays. I have used other kennels prior to WAGS and it takes my dog a week to forgive me when I get back to town. With Johnny and Ty she doesn't want to come home!! I highly recommend them!!!
