Pet boarding/training in Redondo Beach

“This review is long overdue, but it's absolutely well deserved!!

My husband and I boarded our dog, Rosie, at A Bark Idea while we were away on our honeymoon, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience! We had also taken Rosie here for puppy school about 4.5 years ago, so we already knew she was in good hands, which made leaving her for an extended trip much less stressful.

We got daily photo updates, which we always looked forward to, and it was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention.

They even gave our dog a little spa day before we picked her up, so she came home happy, clean, and smelling great. It was such a nice surprise after a long trip! Cami, the owner, also went above and beyond in ways we never expected!

It's obvious they genuinely care about the dogs they work with, and that shows in everything they do. Between puppy school and our boarding experience, we've always had a great experience! A Bark Idea will be our first choice anytime we need boarding in the future!

Highly recommend to anyone looking for people they can trust with their dog! We 💚 A Bark Idea!!“

“We had a great experience working with Toya at Love Ur K9.

We came to Toya specifically to prepare our task-trained service dog, Memphis, for air travel. She helped get him comfortable with the expectations around airports, airplanes, and proper handling while traveling.

Toya was professional, patient, and very good with Memphis. He really enjoyed working with her and responded to her direction extremely well.

One thing I especially appreciated was her training style. She was never aggressive or rough with Memphis, and I was impressed by how effectively she was able to work with him without relying on treats. Her approach was calm and confident, and Memphis clearly trusted her.

She also did a great job training us. Toya taught us the proper commands, handling techniques, and positioning to help make flying with Memphis as smooth and comfortable as possible.

We came away from the experience feeling much more confident and prepared to travel with him.

We are very grateful to Toya for the time and care she put into working with Memphis and with us. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and thoughtful dog trainer.“
