Adelita Alvarez has been working with dogs and their owners since 2003, and according to her site, she's trained the personal dogs of eight local veterinarians over that time—a detail that suggests a certain level of trust within the professional animal care community. Certified through the Animal Behavior College, she also serves as a training mentor for the program and holds grooming credentials.
Good Dog K9 Training operates without a fixed facility. Private sessions happen in clients' homes, while group obedience classes meet outdoors at rotating parks and locations around Burbank, Glendale, and the surrounding LA area. The site describes this as intentional: training in real environments rather than controlled indoor spaces. Group classes are capped at 12 dogs and split into two 30-minute sessions rather than one longer block, which Alvarez says maintains focus better.
Her approach, as she describes it, treats training as communication between dog and owner rather than simple obedience drills. Programs are customized to each dog's personality and household situation. The business also offers a separate service called Silver Tails—calm, one-on-one grooming for senior or fragile dogs in a private home studio. Multiple veterinary clinics in the area, including Burbank Veterinary Center and several VCA locations, are listed as recommending her services.
