Pet Boarding Training near Encino

“We boarded our dog Tai at D Pet Hotel and couldn’t be happier!
From the moment we dropped him off, the staff made us feel at ease.
Tai had an absolute blast—tons of playtime, love, and attention.
The facility is spotless, modern, and truly built with dogs in mind.
We loved getting updates and seeing how happy he was every day.
The team clearly cares deeply about every pup that walks through the door.
We’ll definitely be back—Tai’s already looking forward to his next stay! ?“

“Rigo was helpful getting me registered for my pup's registration and was great explaining what to expect for my pup's first play day. He pulled up the livestream so that I was able to watch as Sitka was introduced to the other pups and staff. As I watched the livestream I could see he was very comfortable meeting staff and other pups, and that was very reassuring. He was happy when I picked him up and that made me comfortable. I look forward to Sitka's next playdate!“

“This is my dogs regular vet clinic and I’m super happy about their services and professional staff. They’re highly professional and very kind“

“We are new to The Ranch, but have had a great experience so far! Our puppy has gained so much confidence interacting with other dogs and generally too. She loves to go to "school" and comes home calm and happy.

We love that the dogs have the option to play outside and that the staff is very mindful of the dog groupings. Getting a "report card" to see and read how she behaved is our favorite part of daycare days too!“

“I can’t recommend Delta K9 Academy enough! From the moment we started, it was clear they truly understand dogs and how to bring out the best in them. The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about both the dogs and their owners. Na’na has learned so much and I see improvements every single day. Perfect experience from start to finish, if you want a happy, well-trained dog, this is the place!“

“Paw Haven is absolutely amazing! My German Shepherd was happy as can be, and I felt so safe and confident leaving him in their care. The love and attention they gave him was top-notch, and I couldn’t be happier that I found this place. Definitely a five-star experience!“

“I found IPet and Holistic when searching google for a PT clinic for my 14 yr old dog. I had no idea what to expect beyond the many glowing reviews. I learned quickly that Yael is a true healer and that Lyrix and everyone who works there cares deeply for each animal that comes through the door. Maggie had been suffering from arthritis and old doggy wear and tear. She is now acting like a puppy - jumping, running, at ease in her aging body. What more can you ask for as your beloved pet reaches its golden years? I so trust Yael and am so grateful to have found the clinic. And Maggie loves going - which is further proof this place is magical.“

“We have been taking Luna there for 2 years now. They love her and treat her and us like family. They give our Luna the best always.“

“Karl was fantastic! He worked with my reactive Chihuahua, Tuna, and provided exactly the tools I needed. In just 5 sessions, we made significant progress and she's no longer barking at the front door as much, which was a major issue. Karl’s approach gave me confidence that we can continue improving Tuna's behavior using the techniques he taught us. Highly recommend for anyone with a reactive small dog!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“I am always worried about my dog being in a new place, he is especially skittish around new people. When I first brought him to Fay's, he literally hid between my legs! Fay has an area just for her furry guests which was something our previous boarders did not have. You could tell just by talking to her that she truly loves what she's doing. She gave updates with pictures & videos throughout the day! Since that first drop off (he stayed 5 days), I have dropped him off for daycare & he stayed another 4 days, he is happy to arrive at her house! He just loves it! So different from that first drop off! He already has a favorite toy & has made friends! I can't say enough about her! So happy to have found her, wish we had found her sooner! She is just the best!“

“Allen and his staff were amazing with our puppy. He has learned a lot and is on his way to being the best puppy. They would send us many videos throughout the board and train and make us feel comfortable through out the process“

“Absolutely love this place. Staff are always friendly. Great selection and reasonable prices.“

“If you are looking for a dog trainer who will help you to actually understand your dog, why they do what they do and how to continue to work with them even after training is over - look no further!“

“I can't overstate this -- Laura changed my life. The first year of Cooper's life (the pre-Laura era) was extremely challenging. He would bark non-stop, had horrible separation anxiety, and was all around unruly. He has such a sweet heart, but I didn't know what to do with him. I had 3 other trainers, and while he made progress, we were still in a real bind -- I couldn't leave him at home because he would bark non-stop (which broke my heart and wasn't fair to the neighbors), and I also couldn't bring him with me anywhere because he was really disruptive. In just 6 sessions, Laura completely transformed our relationships. I can now leave the house without him losing it -- but even better, I can now bring him with me places as a well behaved companion. Laura really taught me how to communicate with him, and how my lack of discipline wasn't actually being sweet to him, it was confusing him. All that to say, 10 out of 10, Laura is godsend, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.“

“I've visited Pet Lover’s Resort three times, although never with my own dog. On the first occasion, I brought my sister’s dog, and on the subsequent visits, I took my cousin’s dog. The service was excellent on the first and second visits, and the pricing was reasonable. During the second visit, I requested grooming and a curtain trim for my cousin’s dog, which was done well for around $60.

However, my experience on the third visit was different. I requested only a basic grooming service—just a wash and blow dry, without any additional services like haircuts, teeth brushing, or nail trims. They initially quoted $90 for this, which seemed unreasonable, given that I had paid less for more services previously. After discussing the pricing with the owner, she agreed to lower it to $65. Later, I received a call from the front desk stating the charge would be $60, which I accepted. However, upon arrival, I was informed the fee was $65, as initially discussed. The inconsistency and lack of clear communication were frustrating, as it wasn’t about the extra five dollars, but rather the principle of the situation. Additionally, after the third visit, I noticed that my cousin's dog did not smell like anything at all, which was disappointing. This added to my annoyance, as I expected at least a pleasant scent after grooming.“

“I brought my standard poodle in a couple weeks ago, and I was very happy with how she was introduced to the facility and how they checked her thoroughly and then they treated her really well and gave her a wonderful cut and full groom. I'm going to bring my other mini golden doodle there. I'm glad I found them.“

“I took my rottweiler Vulkan to Topanga pet resort , and the results were fantastic! The trainers are skilled, patient, and really understand the breed. They tailored the training to my dog's needs, and I noticed a huge improvement in his behavior. The staff is friendly, and the facility is clean and safe.“

“Stardogs Clubhouse is truly a gem in Los Angeles—finally, a high-quality daycare for dogs! The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and they care for the dogs with both professionalism and kindness. There are different activities that my pup absolutely loves, and it’s clear the dogs are happy and well cared for. I had to go to the hospital recently, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate my puppy, showing so much understanding and compassion toward me as well. I’m so grateful for this place and highly recommend it to any dog parent!“

“Amazing experience at K9 Loft today! Jenna was incredibly kind, professional, and went above and beyond to help us out. She clearly cares about both the pets and the people — we felt really supported. Grateful for the great team and how smoothly everything was handled!“

“Amazing dog trainer, using holistic approaches. Not only trains but also boards and socializes. Amazing, brilliant. Highly recommend“

“First time buying at this location. Friendly helpful staff, picked up just what we needed. Easy underground parking.“

“I was in a tight spot with my puppy and 2 cats needing to be watched over while the wife and I went out of town. Annie and David really saved the day! This was our first time using a pet sitter and we couldn't be happier. We got calls / texts / photos updates while we were away. Our puppy looked so happy on the walks with the other dogs. Communication was great and care for our pets was top notch.“

“We highly recommend working with Dee for any and all dog needs!
We rescued a 10 month old puppy this spring and added her to our family with two other dogs and a cat.

Within the first week we discovered our new member was extremely anxious (she escaped once and was gone for hours), was up through the night and not housebroken. This prompted us to connect with Dee where we collaborated on our goals together, and set our focus on reducing anxiety, potty and crate training, and teaching hand signals to keep our pup from bolting out the door.

Two months later, we are THRILLED to report that our puppy’s anxiety levels are down dramatically, she is 99% potty trained, fully crate trained and sleeping through the night and not a single attempt at an escape. An added bonus is seeing the benefit all of this has had on our other dogs and how quickly the puppy and cat were able to integrate.

We did our meetings with Dee over FaceTime, starting at 3 to 4 times a week, and naturally decreasing as Dee’s program was so effective. Dee is extremely knowledgeable, provides clear instruction, and has a way of explaining situations from a dog’s perspective that makes it easy to understand the interventions.

Scheduling time with her was easy. We greatly appreciated her being firm about following guidelines because it kept us on track. However, she is also understanding and flexible when we expressed needing adjustments based on our own lifestyle or goals for our family.

We have a calm and cohesive family and are beyond grateful for Dee who was integral in this process.“

“We are so happy we found this wonderful facility for both boarding and daycare! The service and attention to our pup feels so personal and loving. Thank you, our friends at Sit & Stay.“

“I took my dog for a grooming it was the second time with Eddie L. he did a great job super friendly highly recommend this guy“

“I began taking dressage lessons with Brittany several weeks ago. I've ridden my entire life, but haven't done much the last several years. Brittany's facility is quite nice, very clean and the horses are all very well cared for. These were all reasons I chose Breezy Meadows. Brittany is very kind and knowledgeable, not to mention very patient in easing an adult back into proper form. I would recommend this barn to others seeking to learn how to ride or continue to ride. Although, I only ride English, she offers other disciplines, as well.“
