This approximately 4-month-old was found in a closed crate behind a business. No owner ever claimed her, but she was lucky and adopted by a family who understands her landshark tendencies and is dedicated to her future!

Roger is working with the family and this little dynamo is going to be a ⭐️.

Kiah is with us for a little obedience tune up and she quickly won over everyone, including the resident Malinois. 🐾

Around 2 years old, this is probably a mix, but Kiah’s definitely treat motivated, playful, quick to learn, gets along with both large and small dogs, and is available for adoption through Leashes of Love Rescue, Inc.🤍

We’re so thankful for all of our clients and friends, some who have been with us for decades and some we’ve only known for a few months! Roger started working at this location in 1973, purchased the kennel years later, and continues to have a passion for training dogs of all breeds. Without you, he’s just some tall guy with a pocket full of high-value treats. 😅

Thank you for all of your support throughout the years. We hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving and that we see you again very soon. 💙

You can never be too trained (or too happy… or too young… or too good looking… or too rich… I’m sure this is a long list 😂).

Roger teaches his group training classes on Wednesday evenings. Whether this is your first step into training or you’re looking to keep sharp and have your dog around a group of other controlled dogs, group is a great choice!

We have many options that give owners flexibility and their dogs the right step forward. Your Dog Trainer offers in-home training, where we come and work with you and your dog in your home environment, private lessons at our facility, group classes, and board and train programs, where your dog stays with us for approximately 25 days (you are an important part of the training, so you will be participating in the training, as well).

Give us a call and see what works for you!

Ezra is looking for a home! 🤍

This handsome devil was found on the railroad tracks and a Good Samaritan brought him to us, thinking we were a shelter. He wasn’t chipped, so we took him to animal control and, when no one claimed him from the OC Shelter, Roger went back and took him in, saving him from an unknown fate.

Ezra has since been fully trained and is waiting for someone to call him their own. He’s a s***ky little guy who loves his people. He bonds so much with his person that other people should have cat like reflexes when around him. He’s about 20 pounds of s***k, beyond basic obedience trained, potty trained, good in the house, and looking for someone who wants a ride or die. Ezra can be so centered on his person that he disapproves of anyone else, but that history can be erased with the proper structure and training with his new family. To set you up for success, Roger has offered free training for life to Ezra’s adopters.

If you’ve been considering adding a dog to your household, consider Ezra! He’s around 6-ish years old and just loves someone who loves him. 😘

If you’d like to meet this cutie, please give us a call! 📱 714-547-5047

Sweetie is a 3yo 1/2 staffie 1/2 pitbull mix. She is a compact dog at 36 lbs and would love a forever home where she can work or hunt!

She’s good with kids and dogs, although excitable at times (but she is not dog aggressive). This pocket pittie is very friendly to everyone- hence the name! Unsure on cats. When a tenant was evicted from their rental, they left this girl behind. She was taken in by the local police department and then fostered by an officer and his family who have done an amazing job nursing her back to health, as you can see by the before pic!

Sweetie knows sit, wait, is house & crate trained, and has a good recall (reinforced with the e-collar). She plays fetch with a ball or stick for hours on end and likes a tug and spring pole. This gem is very very trainable and would be a fantastic barn hunt dog or search and rescue/detection candidate… or anything where she can run and hunt! Sweetie is spayed and up to date on all vaccines.

If interested or if you have any questions about Sweetie, please call Jesse at (805) 657-2288.

We know a great senior and special needs rescue, Crusty Crew, who lost the majority of their foster homes due to The Line Fire evacuations and, knowing the financial strain a catastrophe like this can cause, we took in 8 of their dogs at no charge to the rescue.

We have already fallen in love with their amazing pups and wanted to feature one of them here! If Wink doesn’t win you over in less than 60 seconds, you’re not human. 😂 He is a 5-year-old cutie who is missing one eye, but makes up for it with twice the personality. He audited Roger’s group training class and mastered the “place” command like a pro.

Sadly, they still have 23 dogs in vet boarding and also another kennel where they are being charged a daily rate. If you’d like to help, we’ve set up a fundraiser to help them get through this tough time.

Kiah is with us for a little obedience tune up and she quickly won over everyone, including the resident Malinois. 🐾 Around 2 years old, this #tripawd is probably a #gsd mix, but Kiah’s definitely treat motivated, playful, quick to learn, gets along with both large and small dogs, and is available for adoption through Leashes of Love Rescue, Inc.🤍 yourdogtrainer.net

This awesome rescue pup was once living on the street, but now wants for nothing. 🤍 Roger goes to Charlie’s place to train with him and his dad and they’ve been working on being comfortable in the water. When you live by the water, you should enjoy it, yeah? 😬 yourdogtrainer.net #rescuedog #rescuedogsofinstagram #dogtrainer #dogtraining #happilyeverafter

Roger practices all sorts of real life scenarios in his group training sessions. Whether it’s teaching your dog to stay calm and controlled while greeting other people (who also have dogs) or staying composed while walking past numerous dogs, he’s got you covered. Something noteworthy is that not all of the dogs in group are dog friendly, but those dogs learn the most! Call us to learn more about joining our group classes or to learn about private lessons. 📱 714-547-5047 #grouptraining #dogtrainer
