What they say about themselves
Managed Dogs operates as a home-based business in Los Angeles, offering training alongside boarding, daycare, grooming, walking, and guided excursions. According to their site, they position themselves as a comprehensive service covering most aspects of dog care rather than focusing on a single specialty.
The featured trainer, Yosef, describes having spent over five years studying dog psychology and behavior. Their website says he incorporates outings—hikes, park visits, beach trips—as part of training, emphasizing physical and mental enrichment alongside obedience work. The business states it uses positive reinforcement methods, building trust and communication rather than punishment-based techniques.
Training covers basic obedience commands, puppy foundations including housebreaking and socialization, and behavior modification for issues like anxiety, aggression, and fear. They also mention service dog training to help integrate dogs into public settings. Sessions are described as one-on-one, held either in clients' homes or at a training location. For boarding, dogs stay in trainers' homes rather than traditional kennels—what they call a "kennel-free" environment. The business states it is licensed and insured.
Private lessons cover basic obedience, puppy training, behavior modification for aggression and reactivity, and service dog preparation. Managed Dogs also offers board-and-train where dogs stay in trainer homes, plus a day care program focused on socialization. Session lengths and package details aren't listed on the site.
