Group Training

Understanding and learning how to communicate is key to building a strong bond and having the best relationship with your dog.

Whether your dog is shy or reactive, group training in a safe environment gives you a “real world” opportunity to learn and practice the “engagement and communication skills” taught by LARPBO.

Community Packwalks

Socialization is very important for the overall health and well being of your dog. Dogs, like humans, are social creatures, it has a lot to do with why we get along. Too many dogs are under socialized. Packwalks provide a safe, controlled setting, to be around other dogs without the pressure of meeting.

For shy and reactive dogs, packwalks are a great way to build tolerance or desensitize them safely.

Trainer Andy, just wants to know one thing!

Attention class attendees for this Saturday in Sherman Oaks! We will be in a new location for this weekend only. It’s lots 1 & 2 on the map - the part of the park that’s at the corner of Huston and Hazeltine, next to the kids playground parking lot.

Why did you join LARPBO? Chris and Chewie are giving us their testimonial as seasoned members. After finishing our two week intro class series you can move on to intermediate class, which is not a multi week commitment but single sign up. (The new intro series starts this Saturday 7/13. The next intermediate class is on 7/20.) Working on more advanced obedience drills and socialization in a safe and non judgmental environment as well as further strengthening the bend with your dog are core parts of intermediate class. If you’re interested in learning more about our classes and our community please visit the link tree on our profile. Sign up for classes is done via meetup. We also have a great supportive Facebook community / group. All breeds, sizes and temperaments are welcome at LARPBO. #larpbocommunity #larpbodog #dogtraining #packwalks #pitbulls #pitbullsofinstagram #allbreedswelcome #dontbullymybreed

Remember Iceman #A2091947? He was a volunteer favorite at @friendsofeastvalley and is a @larpbo @laanimalservices shelter pack walk alumni. @zuma_ferri reached out to us over the weekend since @tomdavis was looking for a shelter dog to bring on TV. @grumpycanines knew Iceman would be the perfect pick. He’s great outside of the kennel but doesn’t show well at the shelter. Tom shared Iceman and @mikejones_pc saw him. He thought Iceman might be a great fit for @valorcanines. So now he’s on the way to Gilroy to be trained as an ESA for survivors of human trafficking. Happy tails and safe travels little buddy 🐶
