How To Solve Your Pet’s Problem Behavior Through Customized Dog Obedience Training.

I think it’s safe to say that you love your dog. Besides being adorable, he's always there for you, tail wagging, eyes bright, ready to give you unconditional love. Your dog makes you laugh, smile…put simply, our pets are an important part of your family, of your life, and they need your love and attention, always.


Which is why it’s harder to accept those times when they start to frustrate the life out of you. Moments when they become the hardest to deal with—tugging on their leashes during dog walks…jumping on, barking at, even snapping at your guests…chewing and ripping up items in your home…breaking your heart because they’re not housebroken…the list goes on.

For over 22 years, I’ve personally worked with more than 3,500 dogs, puppies and their owners here in Los Angeles. Through a unique and customized dog training plan performed in the convenient and familiar surroundings of your home, you can soon get closer to resolving your dog’s problem behavior and start to build a more loving and understanding relationship with your pet. As West Los Angeles veterinarian Steven Ettinger, says: "Client after client returns with only the finest compliments about Bill's abilities as a trainer of both the dog and the family.

Why Choose “LA Dog Training” Over Other Dog Training Services?

Plenty of other dog training services will take the so-called “easy road.” They’ll follow the same boring set of rigid rules and techniques for every single pet trained. In contrast, I’ll take the time with you to develop a unique and individualized training program created especially for your dog, no matter what breed or how old your dog is.

Each training program, will always consider your needs and special circumstances, whatever they might be:
  • Does your dog become anxious when you’re forced to leave them alone for long periods of time?
  • Do you have energetic young children and you worry about how safe they are while they’re playing with your dog?
  • Are you new to dog ownership and a little overwhelmed by what needs to be done?
  • Does your dog need potty training right away—yesterday, to be more exact?
  • Was your dog rescued from a shelter, and seems to suffer through strange moments of anxiety?
  • Fine tune training information by authors such as Ian Dunbar, Brian Kilcommons, Karen Pryor, Monks of New Skete and others.
Small Dog Expertise!

I even offer you a special program for house-training small dogs, with techniques geared to their unique characteristics. You’ll be offered the most up-to-date information and techniques used to train Yorkshire Terriers, Silky Terriers, Pugs, Beagles, Puggles, Chihuahuas and Boston Terriers, French Bull Dogs to name a few.

With every single “L.A. Dog” Training Program, I will offer you these valuable lessons:

  • How to “read” your dog’s body language—I’ll show you exactly what your dog’s ear, leg and tail movements mean, how to read their breathing patterns and the best ways to deal with them.
  • How to break understanding your dog’s behavior into smaller, much more understandable portions, so that you and your dog can communicate clearly.
  • Individualized, customized training programs—the same advice doesn’t always work for different dogs in different households. What’s that old saying, “one size does not fit all!”

    2008 is my 23rd year where I've helped improve the behavior of puppies and dogs in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Culver City, and Venice. Major improvements that have led to happier, healthier and better-behaved pets, and more affectionate and loving relationships between dogs and their owners.

    The quickest results come when I work with you in your home. Give me a call today for more information: (310) 500-9156.
