LA’s Dog Trainer — Local services in Los Angeles

Jacqueline is an awesome trainer and her programs are so much fun for both dogs and their humans. Leia has taken Beginning and Intermediate Obedience in the park and Leia and Chewie have both gone to Puppy Socials at the studio. We are currently working on taking the CGC - Canine Good Citizen test for Leia. I like the option of lessoning in the park where there are more distractions for the dogs. It's also nice that the dogs can mingle before or after class (I've been to another trainer where all the dogs were petitioned off and cannot see one another). Her class is easy to follow and I love how at the start of each class, she asks how everything is going and if there's something specific that people need help with. If there is, then we'll start with that, if not, then we do a quick review and start to learn something new. Time goes by in her classes because we are all having fun!

If you have a dog that is not ready to be with a group of dogs, you can still attend! She'll have you and your dog be further away from the group so you can still see/learn. I have seen my friend's dog, Max, go from a dog that just barks the entire time in the parking lot to a trained puppy in the main group!

Her methods work and they work right away, but you do have to keep practicing with your four-legged friend. You can't expect to go to her classes once a week and have your dog trained.

At Puppy Socials at the studio, there are two groups, one for small dogs and one for bigger dogs. She and her assistant will monitor the dogs and make sure that they are not being too aggressive or teach the shy puppies how to make their way out to shine (and they do after taking a couple of Puppy Social sessions!). You can also session private socials with just a couple dogs in the studio.

Jacqueline loves animals and has extensive knowledge of them. She always puts the animal first. She has degrees in Exotic Animal Training, Animal Behavior Management, Wildlife Education & Sociology.

She's very flexible with scheduling and will help make timing work for her clients.

I highly recommend Jacqueline and LA Dog's Trainer...

Connected with Jacqueline in regards to training my 6 mo. old puppy back in November/December. It was a great conversation and we informed her if we reached back out then we'll move forward since we were pulling quotes from various organizations.

As we didn't move forward, time went by and she reached out on 2/6/24 to discuss if we wanted to book, etc. I informed her we were training our pup at the AMAZING Paws for Life nonprofit and would not need her services. That's when her tone took a turn and she said "You do know their history." Immediate change in her professionalism. She continued to unprofessionally inform me of this nonprofit and how I should be 'informed' of their background - working with formerly incarcerated persons as if that would hinder their capability to train my puppy AND their work for this community. It was an ugly tactic to use to gain business. I will never use services offered by LA's Dog Trainer. To use a conversation of this sorts as a way to gossip and spread misinformation and disguise it as a way to keep potential clients is absolutely icky.

Paws for Life centers on rehabilitation of pups alongside those previously or currently incarcerated. Their services focus on rehabilitating dogs alongside persons in the system so that the recidivism of persons who were previously incarcerated DECLINES. As well as the care of dogs inside shelters that have a kill rule. When you work with Paws for Life you save two dogs lives - the one you adopt and care for AND the dog who takes that open spot in their shelter/adoption center.

Take your business elsewhere. The ethics here are...

Jackie is the best trainer around. I have trained all my dogs with her. My black female standard poodle was so afraid of people and everything around her I could not even pet her. Jackie worked with her using her big cat Theories and low and behold she started coming around. My female Simone now has has many titles in Obedience and Rally and also is a therapy dog and loves helping people now. Sebastian my big boy started with Jackie at the age of 12 weeks he was a crazy boy she worked through it with her and he also has even titles then Simone and competes in obedience, rally, trick dog, and agility. He also is a therapy dog. Sage is the lighter boy and is also competing in obedience and rally. The new little one is just starting Jackie’s classes and I am sure will also excel. What I like about Jacquelines technique is all my dogs have quite different personalities and she gears the training to each of them it is not cookie cutter training where you find elsewhere. She is the best. Because Of Jacqueline all my dogs But the new one have CGC, CGCA, and CGCU Titles. Which is Good Citizens awards which they need for...
