The Los Angeles Positive Dog Trainer Alliance

The Los Angeles Positive Dog Trainer Alliance is a coalition of positive dog trainers and dog care professionals dedicated to fostering healthy relationships between dogs and their people.

Dog Savvy Los Angeles

Dog Savvy Los Angeles specializes in game-based dog and puppy training and solving problem dog behaviors like canine separation anxiety, leash reactivity, excessive barking and aggression. Our positive approach to dog training incorporates motivational games of choice that build your bond with your dog while teaching them good manners. This method is not only fun, fast, and easy to learn for both you and your dog, it's also based in science!

Woof Pack Dog Training

We want you to know that training is our passion and we take a unique approach in building dogs’ confidence through classical and operant conditioning. We use the best research available on canine behavior and learning theory. We intend to educate pet parents on how to properly train your dog and strengthen your relationship. Oh, and we have fun doing it!

Competent Pup

We all learn the same way! Competent Pup utilizes a specific, proven methodology for animal training based on modern science and learning theory. Science-based dog training develops clear associations and helps the student learn the fastest and most effectively, without any negative repercussions. Competent Pups are taught ethically and humanely because that's how we learn the best!

dOGUMENTA Los Angeles

America’s first art exhibition for dogs, dOGUMENTA opens at FIGat7th in DTLA over two weekends in September! We are excited that professional dog trainers from The Los Angeles Positive Dog Trainer Alliance will be assisting daily at the event.

Not by or about dogs, dOGUMENTA is a curated art show FOR dogs. This FREE event takes place September 14-16 and 21-23 from 11 am to 6 pm daily. Each Sunday will feature an onsite mobile dog adoption.

Featured artworks by eight LA-based artists address the canine sensibility through a variety of media—from sound and sculpture to kibble and squeaky toys.

“After sniffing around the LA art world we dug up a group of amazing artists offering fresh perspectives on the issues and interests of 4-legged patrons,” dOGUMENTA founding curator Jessica Dawson said of the show’s LA iteration. “We can’t wait to unleash a whole new litter of artworks that West Coast culture hounds can explore for themselves.”

Reserving a ticket is strongly encouraged and guarantees entry. Reserving a ticket constitutes your agreement to the waiver in the description. PLEASE SELECT A TICKET BY DATE AND WINDOW OF ARRIVAL. Walk-ins will be let into the exhibit on a first come, first served basis.

One dog per person and that dog must be on a leash. Humans welcome!

dOGUMENTA is produced by ARTS BROOKFIELD and sponsored by NATURE'S RECIPE. Jessica Dawson, Mica Scalin, and a Morkie named Rocky are the founders and curators of dOGUMENTA.
