Pet Boarding Training near Topanga

“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.“

“I can't say enough positive things about Muttineer Dog Training! Thank you so much to Jocelyn for helping me train my very shy and sensitive puppy, Wren. Each week that we met with Jocelyn, we learned more- it really helped me feel like Wren and I were learning how to communicate. Jocelyn truly understands dogs, and it shows. Wren warmed up to her and loved the training exercises- it really helped build her confidence. I will happily refer anyone in need of dog training to Jocelyn at Muttineer!“

“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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Khris is the best. We always know our dogs our well taken care of and he makes sure to send pictures and keep us updated!“

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

“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! ?“

“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.“

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

“This was my first time using Muttserati. My dog was very relaxed and comfortable and I was pleased with the grooming. Will definitely use again.“

“I love this company the owner is awesome and her service are so amazing for your loved pets“

“Went in for some advice for my 10 month old white faced cockatiel, Betty was very informative and welcoming and complimented the state of my bird which I thought that was very comforting considering I'm a first time bird owner they have a wide variety of different bird toys, good sturdy perches with natural wood, bird cages, and types of birds to choose from, all the birds seemed tame, not too loud, un-clipped, clean, well fed, happy and well taken care of I will definitely be going there In the future for any of my bird needs“

“I've been riding on and off since I was a very young girl. Had two horses if my own. I rode by instinct. I wanted to learn how to ride with some skill and ability to communicate with horses. My friend introduced me to Robert and his wonderful staff.
I am starting at the very basics and am amazed how much I am learning and improving over time. I am 70 years old and having a great time. Robert is great. Patient but clearly I charge so that I feel like I am learning each time I ride. I love coming to the ranch even when I don't ride.“

“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 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!“

“Great Doctors! Friendly service! Nice park to walk the pup before or after your visit and its right across the street from the beauty of the Malibu beaches! They have treated all of my dogs with care and respect for the last 15+ years“

“Due to a last minute logistical error, we took our furry babies to Venice Dog Boarding. It was our first time leaving our babies here so we were very apprehensive, but from the moment we met Jan, my wife felt so much better and our dogs were very relaxed. Our babies were well taken care of, Jan was very nice and took very good care of them. You can tell she loves dogs. We will definitely be leaving our furry babies in her care from now on.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“My Skylar did not look like the same dog, just beautiful. I'm sooo please with Benji's. So happy with them, that I'm takingmy other 2 pupies to Benjis in 2 days. ???“

“Dear Porter Veterinary Hospital Management, I wanted to express my gratitude for the exceptional service I received during my recent visit. The entire staff, including Cooper and the lady at the front desk, went above and beyond to ensure a positive experience. Their dedication, expertise, and warmth created an environment that truly stands out. Cooper's exemplary care and the lady at the front desk's outstanding assistance showcase the high standards of service at Porter Animal Hospital. I believe recognizing their efforts and the exceptional teamwork of your entire staff will contribute to the continued success of the hospital. Thank you for maintaining a team that goes the extra mile for its customers and their furry companions. Best Regards, DP“

“Ashleigh was great with our dog and she was able to help him through some PTSD he had from another trainer. She thought both my dog and us a lot about training and discipline.“
