Pet boarding/training near Encino

“We always use D pet for boarding and daycare and yesterday used the groomer for the first time. She did an amazing job!!!“

“I always feel very good about leaving Ellie here, I know they take good care of her. What I like best is that they recognize that all dogs have different temperaments and take that into consideration when caring for them.“

“Dakota always enjoys being at Doggie Central. When we get out of the car, she leads us directly to the front door and is excited to go back to hang with her peers.“

“I've been taking my dog to daycare here for a few months now and he loves it! Everyone is so nice and attentive. Asher comes home exhausted. They post the most adorable pictures on Instagram. So glad I found Paw Haven!“

“I was fortunate to have been referred to VMC by my neighbor. Both of my dogs love to come to this vet due to the warmth and care from the front desk staff and wonderful doctors. This veterinary experience here is so refreshing and comforting. You truly feel they care about every pet that comes through their doors. Dr Steve and Dr Tenser are amazing - from bedside manner, patience with owner questions, explaining issues and options, and making my dogs feel comfy:).“

“Absolutely LOVE!
The supplements are like miracles
My pup came with Cervical disc herniation and they really took care and help
the staff is really incredible and loving“

“This is the first time I've ever paid for dog training in my life. All my other dogs I trained myself, but now I can't devote the time.

I adopted a new dog from the pound, and immediately it was clear she needed training. She was hindering my sales calls and I needed to have her taken away and trained ASAP. I searched around for someone who could take her that day.

I found Delta K9 and on a Sunday met with the owner and head trainer Mike. He assessed Kira, said they would be able to take her that day, and they would work primarily on leash work, and general commands like sit, stay, place, and heel.

I paid them $5k and they said it would take 3-4 weeks. Kira ended up needing a little longer and they had her for a total of 5.5 weeks and didn't charge me any additional money.

They sent me weekly video updates on her progress. Andy, her trainer, and I just had the first of our 3 integration trainings. You need to go spend time with them in person 3 times before you take your dog home so they can train you on what they trained them. Andy also said he would be able to meet me in my home for the 3rd and final integration session so he can introduce her to my cats. He didn't have to offer that and I am very impressed. With the quality of service I have received. We lived near each other and so I wouldn’t assume this is standard. But if you’re cool with the trainers they may for you.

The front desk women Marium and Adel have been extremely helpful whenever I have a question and are very responsive. During business hours I usually received a reply within 2 hours.

I would highly recommend you to have your dog trained here. I'm going to return in a month or so, so that they can do e-collar training.

Be aware that if paying by card there is a 4% surcharge that goes to pay for their credit card processing. I don't know if they accept checks but they do Venmo and other cash payments like that.“

“Fay is an absolute Angel! I can’t say enough positive things about the entire experience of leaving my 2 girls with her. I have a geriatric 14.5 year old who is now going senile so she’s special needs. I really need someone I trust to be patient and kind to her. Fay is wonderful. I got updates and didn’t worry one bit. They’re in the BEST hands with Fay. Thank you, Fay. ♥️“

“Mahalia and Karl were fantastic with our new puppy, Goose! We did in-home private trainings so our whole family including our daughter could participate. They were both so kind, patient and clear with the training skills. They were very understanding when our daughter got distracted during training and stayed patient with her. They both have such a positive attitudes and sweet dispositions with dogs. They showed great professionalism and were on time for appointments. I look forward to continuing to work with them as we may need tune-ups for our dog as he ages. Highly recommend using Mutts and Munch for your training needs!“

“I forgot to take Snoopy’s photo from his visit today BUT he looks so handsome with his cut and cute fourth of July paw bandanna.
Great prices friendly staff. The shop is always clean on the inside and smells nice .“

“What a place! My wife and I visited a dear friend's dog at Topanga Pet Resort this past weekend. When we encountered Ivy, a precious 2 year old Pitty, she seemed very relaxed and well fed. We found the boarding facility to truly feel like a resort. The surrounding trees and ample greenery make the place very serene. All the dogs that were being housed and those who were coming in for training seemed genuinely happy to be there. Additionally, we met a couple of the trainers during our visit there and they were extremely knowledgeable and compassionate towards their canine friends. If you need a place to take your furry friend, Topanga Pet Resort is the place!“

“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.“

“Laura is amazing!!!
We have 2 lovely dogs, Luna and Rufus, who are very reactive, territorial, and overprotective. After a few training sessions, they are both much improved - they do not pull during walks and there is lesser barking at other dogs and people.
We highly recommend Laura. She is the best trainer. She made sure she met with us and our babies and assessed our issues and addressed all our concerns. She is very generous with her time and with her advice and tips. It was all worth it.
Thank you, Laura!!!“

“I’ve tried several other trainers before for behavior training and they all focused on obedience which helped but didn't solve the problem. My dog, Jaxon was still reactive and lunging. I hired Marth and it was different because the first thing he focused on was teaching me everything I needed to know about Jaxon’s behavior and I how can make changes at home and everyday life and things improved dramatically and now I can walk Jaxon off leash and he ignores everyone around us and stays focused on me. I would definitely recommend him for all of your training issues with your doggy’s. His prices are fair and a huge plus with the social classes he offers.“

“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.“

“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“

“I have been using boarding services with The Pawground since 2022. They have always been wonderful and I trust the staff with my previous dog. Recently, I had a family emergency and had to board my dog last minute. They were so lovely and accommodating during a very emotional and stressful time. It gave me such peace of mind to know that he was being taken care of while I traveled. I also love getting photo updates of him playing with all of the friends he makes there.
I also use their grooming services and Courtney has been amazing. He always comes out looking fantastic and she knows exactly how to take care of him during the grooming process to make him feel more comfortable. Definitely check out the Pawground for your boarding and grooming needs.“

“We love the Sit & Stay because our dogs have fun, and we know they are very well taken care of!“

“Smaller location but very helpful and friendly staff. Store will order anything for you that they do not have in stock and offer local delivery or store pickup.“

“Cesar did an amazing job grooming my dog, Bentley! He was professional, friendly, and attentive. Bentley came back looking great and smelling fresh. I’m very happy with the service and will definitely be back. Thanks, Cesar!“

“It was good as usual. Everyone is always sweet. I never remember to catch her name, but the girl that has stickers on her face sometimes is always super nice.“

“Dee is an amazing dog coach and our dog wouldn't be as well trained without her. She puts care into everything she does with our little pup.“

“This was the first time leaving our dogs with Rita and Matt. We’d used kennels with previous dogs and knew that we wanted a home from home this time, especially as one is really sensitive. We felt comfortable from the off with great communication and a first visit which immediately put our minds at rest. Rita kept us updated whilst we were away providing us with great reassurance. Our dogs had regular cuddles, socialised with other dogs and maintained their normal routine. We’ve made another booking to use this fabulous service! Thank you Rita and Matt ⭐️“

“We’ve been coming here since 2020 and doctors and staff are always very helpful and understanding .“
