About this program

What they say about themselves

Daryl Young, the trainer behind America's Best Dog Trainers, claims over 40 years of experience working with dogs and their owners. According to his site, he has trained for families, executives, celebrities, and athletes, and describes himself as a specialist in Dobermans—stating he's the top trainer of the breed in the country. His background spans protection dogs designed to live safely with children and sport dogs competing in Mondio Ring and IGP at European clubs.

The Studio City-based operation emphasizes what they call real-world reliability over flashy tricks. Their stated philosophy focuses on producing dogs that are stable, confident, and obedient in actual settings—at home, in public, around children—rather than just performing in controlled training environments. They offer board-and-train programs, group classes at their facility and at Woodley Park, and consultations.

A few things stand out from their site: they describe offering free lifetime follow-up lessons, framing training as an ongoing relationship rather than a one-time transaction. They also stress early intervention with puppies between 8 weeks and 12 months, arguing that preventing problems is easier than fixing them later. Young has appeared on NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, and BET, and claims to consult internationally in countries including Thailand, the Netherlands, and the Philippines.
