Pet boarding/training near Valley Glen

“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.“

“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 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:).“

“I cannot put into words how happy I am with Happy heart. Not only because my boys, two younger miniature schnauzers, had a great time and came back, tired and excited and full of life. But because I had a horrible experience at another pet hotel, so I’ve been incredibly trepidation about leaving them with anyone.

From the moment I spoke to Anna Marie I was taken in by her energy and passion. When she met my boys They acted like they had met her before and she was an old friend. She is incredibly communicative, professional, and kind.

If you were looking for training or boarding or any service that they offer, I cannot recommend them enough as there are certain people who are born to do what they do And we are also so lucky that she has services here in West Hollywood.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking my fear away and for creating a safe place for my boys to play and learn.

The two photos are of them right when they came home from being with her.“

“What a gem! Paw Haven truly saved me over the holidays after I was searching for reliable dog care since losing our longtime dog sitter. From the moment I brought my dog in for his temperament test, I immediately felt at ease—the staff were relaxed yet incredibly professional.
My dog is a senior with diabetes, requires insulin, and is partially blind, so I was nervous leaving him for over a week with new people in a new place. The staff reassured me right away that my pup would be in great hands—and he absolutely was.
I also love that the dogs get their own room vs. being in a crate! The frequent Instagram story updates gave me so much peace of mind, too.
Special thanks to Tony, who administered insulin shots twice a day and he stays overnight with the pups! Rose, the owner, is also there every day and made me feel completely comfortable trusting a new facility with my senior dog. I will definitely be bringing my dog back. Thank you so much, Paw Haven!“

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

“The best groomer in LA! Consistently does an amazing job and so caring to my pup! The groomers are also the sweetest to her.“

“I have a small Pomeranian and we used a traditional vet. The vaccines and food were causing him to lose over 50% of his fur. iPet Care Vet spent time with us explaining what is the root cause and came up with a plan. She said my goal is to never see your dog again. Which is the correct goal. Unlike a regular vet who wants to keep seeing you for more money and never fix the issue. iPet Care's treatment plan took a couple of months. We changed the food to Bones and Co meat, used the liquid collagen and started probiotic yogurt from iPet Care. Within 6 months his beautiful fur is almost all grown back. He is soft and his fur is full. Everyone keeps asking my wife and I how we did it. We stopped letting a traditional vet poison him and changed to better food. He is doing great and I suspect in the next few months all his fur will regrow. He only has one spot left but 90% of his fur is back. Thank you iPet Care for giving us our beautiful dog back.“

“Finally found a good vet for my pet after numerous bad experiences with others. From the front desk staff to the doctor and techs, everyone is super nice, patient, and really gives you the best care for your pet. Recommend this clinic over any other! Chak de!“

“We brought our puppy to the group training and Adelita really helped train Elliot. She also worked with me and my wife so we could continue to work on skills and behaviors with him outside the classes. Elliot has made really big improvements since being in the training class.

We’ve also met a ton of great dogs and dog parents at the lessons and pack walks. On top of everything she’s very professional, knowledgeable, and does pet sitting and grooming too. Best part is we really trust her.“

“Expert, experienced dog training.
Easy to work with and generous with his time and attention. Quick to respond and flexible.“

“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!“

“We’ve trusted Dog-e-Den for years for daycare and occasional overnight boarding for our dog, and our experience has been so positive that we haven’t considered anywhere else.

We like that they’re so careful about screening for temperament and health - they’ve even been the first to let us know when a vaccine is late before our vet!

Everyone we’ve encountered there has been so kind - especially Krystal - who makes me certain that our pup is good hands whenever I drop her off.“

“Truly love this place! The staff is so friendly and takes great care of my bulldog! I always recommend this place!“

“I cannot recommend Lilli at PetCare highly enough. She took such incredible care of my little Maltipoo, Mila, after her luxating patella surgery. Lilli specializes in animals with medical issues, senior animals and special needs. She was able to personalize Mila’s care by understanding Mila’s demeanor and followed all the recommendations from her orthopedic surgeon, complete with round the clock medication administration. She kept me updated on Mila’s healing throughout the day and even sent me pictures to comfort me. When I went to visit Mila one morning, Lilli showed me how to use the sling to give her back legs support while walking. Even after I brought Mila home, Lilli checked on us and helped make the transition back home smooth and stress free. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine love for animals made all the difference, and I am so grateful for the exceptional care she gave Mila.“

“Sunset Barquis is such a wonderful place, our dog always looks so happy in photos, we love the updates and they even give her walks every time she goes. We are so grateful for them!“

“Absolutely stellar service from start to finish! They took such amazing care of my baby Oliver and even got us in last minute—which was a total lifesaver. Paul, the owner, is incredibly dedicated and truly cares, and Hubert, the master stylist, is absolutely phenomenal. The founder was also there during our visit and took the time to sit and chat with me while I relaxed in the massage chairs during Oliver’s grooming session—such a unique and enjoyable experience!

We had such a great time that I even signed up for a membership on the spot. I’ll 100% be trusting them with my baby again in the future!“

“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!“

“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 cannot say enough good things about this veterinary hospital. They are so friendly and kind and so efficient from staff Yvette and Samantha and Dr. Girgis what a wonderful caring place to bring your pets.“

“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!“

“I have 2 dogs that have been in training with CaliK9 trainer Devin for the last 2.5 months. We still have a lot of work to go, but the tools and guidance we have been provided have shown day and night difference in some of the things I was struggling with. My dogs are showing more engagement and focus, and our walks have gotten so much easier. The approach is firm but still kind and fair to the dog. My dogs are middle aged, stubborn working breeds so they have some long standing bad habits that’s going to take work to unlearn. Devin has been a great help and knowledgeable source for us. 10/10 very happy with my decision to sign up for training with CaliK9“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
