THE DRIVEN DOG REVIEWS
Do you have a dog that pulls AND wants to go after every critter that walks on four legs? Call Karin! You have to go to her facility in Gardena for your evaluation and she’ll explain to you what works for your dog. I decided to go with the board and train package with her and her team. I’ve learned a lot and am grateful that I can manage my 70+ Shepherd mix. The training WE BOTH received and continue to receive is worth the investment!
Karin Chan provides down to earth no-nonsense training that will improve your quality of life by teaching you and your dog to live together more harmoniously. Her board and train made it possible for us to keep our intense Belgian Malinois/Dutchie at our home with less stress for all of us, and through her bi-weekly free group training sessions we keep on top of things. The "on place" command has spread to one of our other dogs (see pic). 4 paws up for Karin and her team!!
Karin and her team have been so helpful, they really helped me and my dog excel in some of the dog sports we compete in. They helped him become more well rounded and helped me understand how to bring the most out of his potential.

TROTS DOG REVIEWS
let me just start with my dog is part demon part shiba inu. He doesn't get along well with dogs and always pulled when walking. Positive Treat Reinforcement didn't work with him. We recently adopted a Pitbull Husky puppy and was nervous since we didn't know her history. She also was quite strong and pretty much walked me. With just 1 lesson, Jojo taught us the right way to walk the pups and it's made a world of difference. Before we had to coordinate walks with 2 people separately but now only 1 of us can control them both. After the second session, our dogs are able to be in the same room without killing each other. So impressed by Jojo and her knowledge of dogs! Plus the pack walks are awesome like a little dog parade and the pups KO after! Highly recommend!
JoJo and her team are by far the most knowledgeable and professional trainers in Long Beach! They diligently listen to their human clients' concerns while compassionately training their four-legged best friends (and the humans, too!). We have been so lucky to have JoJo work with our rescue dogs over the years and simply wouldn't trust another trainer with our pack. Thank you, JoJo, Jaymee and everyone else from the Trots Team!!!
Joanna is an amazing trainer! We trust her wIth our pup for overnights and training. Honestly, he comes home more attentive and calmer.

ALEX MACIAS DOG TRAINING REVIEWS
Alex helped us tremendously with our golden retriever she understood his moods and how to get around them to get the best out of him. The advice and training we received from Alex is still working for us today. Alex cares deeply about each dog that she works with we are lucky to have found her.
I am so lucky to have found Alex to train my dog Gideon. She was referred to me by a friend who had seen much improvement in her dog after sessions with Alex. Alex’s methods have been fast and effective in teaching my dog important skills such as coming when called and leaving food/other items on the ground. Alex truly loves pups of all sizes and has a need repertoire of knowledge when it comes to correcting behaviors. She is on top of scheduling and very accommodating. I wound recommend ignoring the one review blaming her for a schedule mix up and instead look at her amazing skill as a dog trainer and kindness to dog owners.
Alex has been so helpful with our Golden, Rosie. She was aggressive and reactive to other dogs on walks, and we were at our wits end. Alex came in and saved the day. She is well-versed on dog behavior, it's like she knows exactly what Rosie is thinking! Our terror turned into a calm pooch after just a few sessions with Alex. Call Alex for help! You'll love her!
