Pet Boarding Training in Long Beach

“Tiff is great with dogs. She is very knowledgable and calm. She doggysat our crazy 1 year old, Nacho, for a few hours and did a great job corralling his energy. I think he may be a bit much for an apartment setting with other dogs. Thanks Tiff for doggysitting Nacho!“

“Our dog just came home to us from a 10 day training in Huntington Beach. He was extremely reactive and out of control around other dogs, and I have to admit I was skeptical that he could be trained. His trainer, Jason, sent us updates and videos 3 times a week, and it was outstanding to see his progress, but I wondered if he would act that way at home. Jason brought him to our house for an hour lesson, and we were amazed at how obedient and attentive Luka was. He even walked right by Jason's dog without reacting. I was nervous that I would t be able to replicate the behavior, but I can only describe it as like magic! Luka is now much more calm and attentive, and can now enjoy being a dog without being anxious all the time. We can take him anywhere now, and he can be off leash running at the park. He comes a soon as I call. It will be a whole new life for him and for our family! Jason did an amazing job and we could t be more grateful!“

“Best animal hospital around. Dr. An is fantastic and they are the only place with fair prices. Don't go anywhere else!“

“I have known Alex for several years. He helped me with my last dog. I was just exasperated with Ben. He chewed up my furniture twice and was just a wild child! After taking Ben home to work with him he came back a changed dog. Most recently, Alex took my little Frenchie pup into his Board and Train program. He has a way of working with dogs using positive reinforcement and love. He also gives the owner the tools they need to continue the training at home. I would HIGHLY recommend Alex and the Dogfather Institute for all your training needs! Whether you have a problem dog, or just want your dog to learn some manners, Alex is your guy. I don't mean to sound like a commercial, I just really believe in what he does!!“

“Our 5 month baby Shenzi did a 2 week board and train with Lori and her team and I have to say the level of professionalism was top notch. We received daily photo and video updates on her progress and a clean off-boarding process to train us (as the parents) on how to continue the training at home. John was extremely helpful and clearly educated in dog training. He gave us clear and concise instructions which were very easy for us to implement. Thank you again John.

As for Shenzi’s progress, there is a VERY noticeable difference. She now understands basic commands - which are vital to break some of her difficult habits, such as barking at people/dog passerby’s. And while we haven’t broken that yet, I’m confident that with tools Pawsitive gave us, she’ll learn in no time.
She is also much better at home, much calmer and easier to handle. She seemed to break the puppy “rambunctiousness” while she was boarded. And bonus points that she seems to be house broken now!

Also more bonus points, they picked up and dropped off Shenzi all the way to us in Santa Monica!

All in all, if you’re looking for a high class, quality and professional trainer, you found your business. We will certainly continue to use them for future training.“

“Opps! Walked in a about 15 mins before they were open, not realizing it at the time. Jonathan greeted me as I passed him. Grabbed what I needed and headed to the register. That's when I thought "Umm, did I dip in too early?" The answer was "Yes!" But Jonathan met me at the register. I apologized and he said "No problem!" and proceeded to help me out! Thanks!“

“Last night we had to help our 18 yr old cat cross over the rainbow bridge. Our doctor was Dr. Mark McDaniel & he was the kindest, most caring vet we have ever encountered. We have been coming to Ambassador for more than 15 years and have always received amazing service, but Dr. Mark cares deeply about the animals in his care, that is so obvious. We can't
thank him enough for his kindness!!“
