Description:
Although I have always been fond of dogs, I recently transitioned to become a Dog Trainer. Having served as a Personal Trainer in the Fitness Industry and owning a gym for the past two decades, I have developed vital skills to assist individuals in modifying behavior. I am thrilled to apply these techniques in the dog training field, enabling pet owners to establish a bond with their pets based on love, trust, and respect.

Joe, a skilled dog whisperer, recently worked with our family to train our new puppy. He possesses a deep understanding of dogs and their behaviors, enabling him to effectively work with them. What impressed me most was his ability to tailor his sessions to include my children, ensuring they comprehended the lessons and felt confident in training the pup. Joe's responsiveness to our queries was phenomenal. He promptly addressed our concerns and provided examples in between classes. In just under two weeks, our pup has made tremendous progress, calmly waiting to enter and exit our house, patiently waiting to be invited onto furniture, and excelling in leash training and other commands. We undoubtedly plan to continue working with Joe!

An amazing trainer, Joe has been a savior. Despite others' failures to resolve my dogs' problems, he worked through them all. He is highly attentive towards his clients and genuinely compassionate.

Joe's work with my puppy has left me overjoyed and grateful. Prior to working with Joe, my dog would bite relentlessly, making it impossible to approach her. As a lifelong dog owner, I was considering rehoming my puppy as the biting had become unbearable. However, Joe stepped in to help me rebuild the relationship with my dog. Thanks to Joe's board and train program, my dog has newfound confidence and positive behaviors. Joe has equipped me with the knowledge to maintain these positive traits at home. He continues to be responsive to any questions I may have, ranging from tackling issues with my dog to training new commands. In short, Joe has saved my relationship with my dog and I am forever thankful for all he has done for both my dog and me.

Dog Fit La's Board & Train program is unparalleled. Joe is an exceptional trainer who treats every pet under his care as if they were his own. This is why I chose his program over a thousand others in Los Angeles. Joe never failed to provide almost daily updates on Sasha's progress and was always available to address any questions I had. After completing the program, Sasha came back to us completely transformed. She is now less reactive to other dogs on walks and more respectful of the boundaries in our home. I have already decided to take any future dog I may adopt to Dog Fit La and recommend it to other dog parents unequivocally.

Our family is incredibly grateful for our decision to place our beloved 5 1/2-month-old puppy, Nike, in Dog Fit LA's 21-day board and train program. Prior to this, Nike was a challenging pet, frequently biting arms, demand barking, nipping ankles during walks, and refusing to settle outside her playpen. At the time, I was exhausted and felt like I had failed as a pet owner. Seeking guidance, I contacted Joe at Dog Fit LA to explore my training options. His knowledge and expertise in dog training helped me feel heard and validated throughout the process. Ultimately, my family and I determined that the board and train program was the best choice for Nike.
During Nike's time in the program, Dog Fit LA sent us daily photos and updates, which quickly became the highlight of our day. On her last day, Joe spent more than two hours teaching us how to train Nike, including what to do when she exhibited certain behaviors and reviewing her triggers in the house. His clear explanations made training easy to implement and understand.
Thanks to the board and train program, I am happy to announce that I am no longer an unwilling participant in Nike's chewing habits. Our furry friend now enjoys a more relaxed temperament, allowing us to take her to restaurants, the beach, stores, and on walks - where she can now be easily redirected if needed. Nike has even learned impulse control and can now stay calm while my 78-year-old father watches football or my mother cooks in the kitchen. As a family, we are amazed that our once rambunctious puppy can now chill out without protest. Nike is also now part of a dog pack that she visits once a week for daycare at Dog Fit LA's.
We are thrilled to have transformed Nike into our dream dog, and plan to continue our journey with the help of Dog Fit LA because it has been so worth it.
