Dog Health Questions: Best dog training school in Los Angeles,CA?

I want to train my dogs so they can pass the good dog citizen test... but i need a good dog trainer and a good dog training school. any suggestions? and what is the average cost of this?

Competition Dog Training

Recommended Answer:
L.A. is a big town.

If you could narrow it down I could possibly direct you to a great trainer. example- San Fernando Valley etc...

I suggest you set higher goals then a CGC. Honestly I could train an ant to do the CGC in no time.

The 10 week training class I attend and assist with has a dog ready to attain its AKC Novice Level Obedience title after we are finished- in fact our graduation is the AKC novice level test.

Set higher goals and you will laugh at the simplicity of the CGC

ADD: I suggest you contact the Obedience Club closest to you to find a suitable trainer.
When interviewing them ask how many dogs they have titled and to what level. Also
ask how many titles their students have earned as well. As they say "those who can't do, teach"

Here is the link for local Obedience Clubs-your dog does not need to be AKC registered or a purebred to particpate

http://www.akc.org/events/obedience/trai… (correct link)

I have to laugh, for the links that were provided to you in another post- not a single one of those so called trainers has put a title on a dog. If they have they certainly did not mention it in their ads.
Run far and run fast from those kind of folks.

• Hey I see that you need some kind of guid that will give you tips and tricks to help your dog become fully trained and more healthy. Recently one of my friends really needed some advice on how to train his dog. He followed the dog training academy course to successfully have a fully trained dog in a few weeks.
