Training Packages:

2-Week Full Obedience: New puppy? Your dog has no training? Well, this is the package for you. Our 2-week training package teaches your best friend the necessary ABC's and 123's they'll most commonly use in life. LA Dog Retreat's trainers have spent decades perfecting this training package that's simple and extremely user-friendly. This is our most popular package because you send your dog to us with no behaviors and get them returned a happy, well trained dog.

1-Week Partial Obedience: Your dog is partially trained but not perfect? This is the package you need. Many times rescue dogs are somewhat trained but are in need of that final boost to bring out their full potential. Or often your dog received training a few years ago but they forgot what they learned. These are very common problems in the dog world and LA Dog Retreat is able to zero in on these problems and in 1-week, your best friend is exactly what you want them to be.

2-Day Tune Up: Is your dog well-trained but still has that one issue they just can't get over? This is the perfect package. We've all seen the dog that pulls too much on a leash, jumps on people or barks too excessively. Many dogs are well trained but always seem to have that one problem they just can't get past. This is extremely common for most dogs and very annoying to many more owners. LA Dog Retreat pinpoints the problem and 48 hours later it's solved.
