About See Spot Stay

Based on what the business publishes about itself

Jill Gasparac, who owns and runs See Spot Stay, comes from an unusual background for a dog trainer. She studied animal behavior under Master Dog Trainer Steve Morrissey and previously founded a nonprofit rescue organization focused on rehabilitating and rehoming dogs. According to her site, that rescue work, helping hundreds of dogs find homes, shaped her approach to training, particularly with dogs adjusting to new environments after unstable pasts.

The business operates out of a home setting in West Hollywood rather than a kennel facility. Their board-and-train program, which they call "Bow Wow Boot Camp," runs three to seven nights and includes progress videos during the stay plus a handoff session where owners learn what their dog has been taught. They also offer private lessons, at their location or yours, and virtual sessions by phone or FaceTime for follow-up questions or new puppy preparation.

Zeke, a team member described on their site, has worked full-time with dogs for over 25 years, handling daily walking and assisting with training. The site emphasizes that dogs get the same walker consistently rather than rotating staff or group pack walks. Their stated training philosophy centers on earning a dog's trust first, using praise and treats rather than harsh corrections, an approach they say works particularly well with rescue dogs and puppies learning basic obedience.

What dog training programs does See Spot Stay offer?
