Family Dog Training Program
in Los Angeles

At Topanga Pet Resort, we offer Family Dog Training in Los Angeles designed to help dogs of all ages become confident, well-mannered companions. Located just minutes from Topanga Canyon and Woodland Hills, our program combines the peaceful setting of a countryside resort with the expertise of professional trainers who bring over 50 years of experience.

Life in Los Angeles can be overwhelming for dogs — busy streets, crowded parks, new people and noises. Our training focuses on real-life situations: greeting guests politely, walking calmly along Ventura Boulevard, relaxing in public spaces, or enjoying time at dog-friendly beaches.

Dogs practice essential obedience commands like sit, stay, come, place and learn self-control in family and social environments. We also address common behavioral challenges such as excessive barking, jumping, leash pulling, or protective behaviors.

With six certified trainers, spacious indoor and outdoor areas, and a personalized approach, Topanga Pet Resort creates a safe, structured environment where your dog can thrive. Our goal goes beyond obedience — we strengthen the bond between you and your pet, ensuring they become a happy, balanced part of your Los Angeles lifestyle.
