Find a Dog Trainer in Ladera Heights

We feel so lucky to have found Gordon. When we met him, we were struggling to create a home environment that felt even remotely manageable with our new puppy. Gordon helped us regain a sense of control and develop a strong, loving bond with our dog. Gordon has amazing compassion and insight into animal behavior, and he’s also a dream to work with — he’s organized, punctual and always available for an after-hours question or chat. Training a puppy takes love and hard work, and we’re so grateful to have had Gordon guiding us through it all. He’s the best!

I came across Martha's post on bark where she talked about JOHN, a professional expert reachable at (johnspyful @ gmailcom) who helped her out a month ago. It's hard to put in words how much of a genius he is and also can't stop thanking him for helping me through my divorce case. in my own case the money wasn't the problem and i can gladly say every penny spent was worth it. I have referred some of my close friends to him and all have been immensely satisfied with the top notch hacking service he offers. To whoever is lucky enough to read this its a fresh start for me and i am only doing this for those genuine people out there who would want the services of a professional investigator.

Great hours, reasonable prices, and a top-notch staff. They really care about the animals in their facility, and treat them well. Easy scheduling by app, simple invoicing.

Lucy is Awesome. Her first time coming into your home she makes sure she addresses all of your concerns and won't leave until you feel satisfied. Which I think is super important. With Covid19 she is super respectful of boundaries and distancing. I've had her for just two sessions so far but she has been able to correct and improve my puppy's behavior. She has also taken a lot of pressure off of me by educating me on do's and dont's. There are so many resources online it is easy to get overwhelmed and stressed out. Getting advice from a professional like Lucy has made my life and my dogs life so much easier. I highly recommend her if you are having behavioral issues with your dog (won't listen to you, destructive, etc).

Annamarie is fantastic! I have known Annamarie for six years since she has been training Harley. He is now the best dog ever. I'm constantly getting compliments on how well behaved he is.  Recently, my son has had some challenges with his dog, Pookie, a pomeranian.  He had behavioral issues which were unnerving and we were at our wits end.  Annamarie started training him and we saw an immediate change in one day. We then decided to hire her for a week and the results were spectacular. My son is thrilled with the work she has done with Pookie, as am I. I used to dread Pookie coming to visit for the weekend, but now he is a delight and I look forward to it. I highly recommend that you hire Annamarie. Not only does she do training, but she is also a dog nanny and sitter and walker. She makes our lives with our dog very convenient, as she is always able to help.

We have a dog with confidence issues that came from the meat trade. Colleen and her team have been nothing short of wonderful. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation.

My experience with Brandon has just been amazing.  There's really no word I can use to explain the transformation of my foster dog Klondike since we've met Brandon.  Klondike is my foster (18 lbs Lhasa Apso Mixed) with aggression that I am supposed to desensitize before he can be adopted.  Well, nobody will want to adopt an aggressive dog.  He has bitten my husband and me numerous times without warning.  The worse one for my husband was when he entered the room and Klondike charged up to bite his feet with no advanced notice.  After three puncture wounds, my husband's foot was swollen for days.  My worse bite from Klondike was when I picked up his EMPTY food bowl after he ate where he charged me and shook my hand without letting go.  My hand was swollen for a week where I couldn't even move.  There were other biting occasions that I do not need to share now.  Well, he's been to two obedience trainers for consultation and they both were afraid to address his issues as they told us they didn't want to get bit.  Okay, so then we went on Facebook to some of our rescue friends to ask for reputable trainers.  One came over to our house for 4 hours and worked with Klondike.  As I expected, the trainer got bit too. She was not upset but I was panicking because her hand was dripping blood and dripping all over Klondike.  While her hand was bleeding she showed us the alpha role technique where you hold the dog onto the ground until they stop growling or snarling.  I've done that many times when he bit us before and that didn't seem to desensitize him.  We were at our last straw and thinking we either live with this unpredictable dog under a radar or we return him to the rescue.  After much thinking and considering that nobody else may want to foster or adopt an aggressive dog, we decided that we really need to help this dog.  We asked around and several pit bull rescues have highly recommended Brandon.  We met with Brandon just a week ago and after one meeting and practicing what Brandon asked us to practice at home, Klondike is a changed dog.  Brandon had us practice leadership and that's really all it is to it.  Many times we think it will take hours out of our days to train a dog where most training does. But there is really no extra time that needs to be put into our day.  Brandon showed us how to practice our leadership and work with Klondike where we integrate his training into our daily routine.  I cannot express in real word on how this whole experience has changed my husband and my life in the house with this dog along with the rest of our 3 dogs.  By fixing Klondike, our three dogs just follows too and now our house is so much more peaceful.  I want to say in just a week we have 70% of what we want but we are aiming at 100%. Our walks are perfect where he just walks right behind us without pulling at all. I forget I'm walking a dog. It's a personal lifelong experience that I will never forget.  It's a valuable tool for the rest of my life on how to build the proper relationship with my dogs.  It's just amazing and I can truly get whatever results I want.  If we humans are willing to change and face our fear, our dogs will follow. It's just that simple.  We need not to be in denial. If we can do just this, many dogs can be saved and not be put down on a daily basis.  The key to loving our dogs is to respect nature and respect our dog as a dog. I urge for everyone that if you encounter aggression in your dog or other dogs, please consider The Fouche Way before even thinking about putting a dog down.  There is nothing more cruel than putting a dog down before even trying everything. Keep an open mind and go see it for yourself.  You will see 100% success as long as you are willing to change yourself.  You have to change NOT the dog.Thank you Brandon Very Very Much from the bottom of my heart.  With your help, we helped and saved another dog.

Took my puppy for her first haircut and they took great care of her knowing how scared she would be her first time at the groomers. Also took my newly adopted shelter dog and they did amazing with him as well and their haircuts came out great!
