“We had a great experience working with Lindsay as our dog trainer. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what she does. From the very beginning, she came prepared with a thoughtful plan tailored to our dog’s needs, focusing on leash training, reducing jumping, and teaching him to settle in his bed on command. What really stood out was how clearly she demonstrated her techniques and explained the reasoning behind them. She made sure we felt confident practicing the training ourselves, which made a huge difference in our progress. Lindsay was patient, professional, and encouraging throughout the process. Thanks to her guidance, we’ve already seen noticeable improvements in our dog’s behavior. We highly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for an effective and compassionate dog trainer!”

About: I take the time to learn about your dog and your training goals. I believe that every dog and person learns differently so I shape my training to what I think would be best for your individual needs.

“Kendall is very kind and easy to talk to, and Lucy really liked her. She was gentle with Lucy and gave me a simple summary after the session. I appreciate her time and the suggestions she shared. Thank you again!”

“Wendy is great! Exactly what my husband and I wanted to help us train our dog. We are looking forward to having her help training us to have a consistent and positive approach”

About: I have sit and boarded countless dogs in my sitting and boarding career. I’m adaptable to train the nervous and anxious pups who come from the streets and adorable pups who come from good pedigrees. I do not breed discriminate!

“Regina was so great and knowledgeable! She was able to identify what my two dogs needed and how to help them. She gave me homework to work on with them, and ways to continue improving their behaviors. So grateful I found her. Looking forward to continuing working with her.”

“My dog and I had a successful first training session with Khafren. Sunday, my dog, did really well. She learned a lot and enjoyed the training session. Kahfren was gentle with my 3 lb puppy.”

“Nicolas has been great so far with both Zoe and Piper’s training.”

“I highly recommend Andres! When we started, my dog Pinot struggled with leash pulling, barking at other dogs on walks, and being destructive at home when left alone. After training with Andres, the change has been incredible. Pinot now walks calmly on leash, greets dogs and people politely, and is much more relaxed overall. Our walks and visits to lakes and parks are finally enjoyable. Andres is patient, knowledgeable, and truly understands dogs.”

“I can’t recommend Ashley Sanford enough as a personal dog trainer. She had a natural connection with our dog Bella and a calm, patient approach that really made a difference in our dogs behavior. We saw a difference in Bella’s aggressive attitude in a short amount of time. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable in dog’s behavior issues, dependable and truly dedicated to helping train your fur child to be a good pet, Ashley is an excellent choice.”

“Jill is an incredibly compassionate, reliable and dedicated animal caregiver who consistently goes above and beyond for every pet in her care. As a trusted Dog Walker and sitter, she treats each animal like family, ensuring their safety, comfort and happiness, her CPR certification as an extra layer of professionalism and preparedness, giving pet owners true piece of mind Jill‘s natural connection with animals combined with her patients and intuitive understanding makes her transition to dog training, both seamless and well deserved. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care.”

“Highly recommend XiaoXi Wang! She trained my Golden Retriever July, and the whole experience went so smoothly. XiaoXi is incredibly patient and really gets each dog's personality — no harsh methods, just positive encouragement that actually works. Thanks to her, July can now do Heel, Sit, Down, Go to Spot, and Leave It — the progress has been amazing! She also shared tips on how to keep practicing at home, which was super helpful. If you're looking for a dog trainer, just go with XiaoXi — you won't regret it!”

“Working with Helen was one of the best decisions I made for my dog. She was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about both me and my dog throughout the entire process. After training, my dog became calmer, more focused, and much more reliable in public settings. Helen also gave me the guidance and support I needed to maintain the results at home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled dog trainer.”

“Carlos is a great trainer, he was to pinpoint what our dog needed very quickly, was very helpful, answered all our questions and took the time to explain everything in details. He showed us how to help our dog and made us practice which was great for us.”

About: With 15 years experience professionally working with people and their pups I can help you and your pup communicate and understand one another better. I left the corporate dog industry in 2020 so I can personally give people and pups attention. I am comfortable working with a variety of dogs and have a lot of experience with dogs with leash reactivity. I also taught many group classes in the past for a top dog facility in Orange County and was their Behavior & Training Director.

“I have a one year seven month old retriever who is in training to become my service dog. I contacted Andrew to do my first ever CGC test. Upon meeting Andrew I was immediately comfortable and calm. I’m a sensitive person and his demeanor helped calm all of my nerves. I have had him test my dog and I for five AKC tests as of now. He is cordial, respectful, kind, knowledgeable and very sweet. You can NOT go wrong with hiring this guy for all of your doggy needs! He makes sure after every session that I was clear on what the next step was for my AKC testing. Your search ends here!”

“Really great communication and I can tell they really care about dogs and are very passionate about training!”

About: I believe successful training is built on clear communication and a strong, trusting relationship. My unique approach focuses on coaching both you and your dog. I work with you to understand your dog’s specific needs and personality, providing the strategies and routines to build desired behaviors consistently. Together, we'll establish new habits that feel natural and sustainable for your family. I am your partner and guide, helping you build a deeper bond and achieve long-term success.

“Great experience with Adrianne! Our session was really helpful and I already feel more confident working with my dog. She made everything easy to understand and gave me tools I can actually use. I’m excited to keep working with her and see our doodle at his best. Highly recommend”

About: I also do work full time as a professional K9 behaviorist at a corporate company. I prioritize educating and supporting pet parents. Training doesn’t stop when our session ends, so I make sure you understand the techniques, timing, and mindset needed to continue progress at home. My goal is a well-balanced dog and a confident, connected human on the other end of the leash. Speak mandarin. 講國語

“I have only had one session so far with Kai and my puppy is already so much more well behaved. He clearly really cares and knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend.”

“He was awesome!!!”

“I highly recommend Geraldine (G) . She was my dog’s puppy trainer and was the best! She was professional, patient, and very informative. Most importantly, my dog loved her!”

“Skyler’s consultation was fantastic! My dog immediately bonded with her, and I felt like she was meeting an old friend. I shared what led me to book with her and my goals for Jewels. She explained how we can help him become more obedient at home through training, noting that he’s a quick learner, so he should pick things up quickly. She also suggested my good Kong and lick mat, along with more training opportunities, which I’m planning to explore.”

About: I don't focus solely on treats. I'm able to win the dogs mind over to where they respect and mind their owner the first time. Positive reinforcement in a new light.

“Ana was amazing. Very knowledgeable and not pushy towards certain training. She went above and beyond to learn my pup and his habits to create a plan. Saw some results right off the bat and will continue to work with her. If you are thinking twice, stop and at least do a consultation you won’t regret it! Thanks Ana!”

“Allie understands and cares about dogs and their humans. She’s patient, clear, and positive, and she gives practical, step-by-step homework that’s easy to follow between sessions. We adopted a reactive dog from a shelter, and Allie helped us pinpoint what was driving the reactivity and exactly what to do in the moment. Her approach is research-based (we’re working through BAT training), which gave us confidence. We’ve seen measurable progress after every session and felt supported throughout. We recommend Allie to anyone dealing with reactivity or wanting a trainer who delivers real results.”

“Kurt listened to my concerns. He gave my 3 week from a shelter dog time to get comfortable. I feel like I was professionally guided with a gentle, calm approach. My dog even got to play with his dog a little. He evaluated him in a neutral territory. I now know more about BART. He likes horses is non reactive , not a big prey drive either. I feel his behavior is better than shoulder be expected. My nerves are calmer, and that’s saying a lot. Thank you Kurt, I have more hope now.”
