I cant say enough good things about this dog training experience! From the very first session, the trainer was professional, patient, and clearly passionate about helping dogs and their owners. My dog went from being anxious and disobedient to calm, confident, and responsive in just a few weeks.What really stood out was how personalized the training was Stephanie took the time to understand my dogs unique personality and adjusted their approach accordingly. The results have been incredible! Walks are no longer stressful, and my dogs actually listen to commands at home and in public.If youre looking for real results and a trainer who truly cares, this is the place to go. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a happier, better-behaved dog!

I absolutely recommend Hollywood Animal Training to everyone who is seeking to train their dog! Stephanie is absolutely amazing and she did fabulous work with my late Great Dane, Hades.I would not dream of training with anyone else. Working on getting the funds together to have her work with my current Great Dane!

Stephanie is a caring, thoughtful trainer for both dogs and people. She sold me when she talked about lesson plans and goals so there were specific things to accomplish. She took Tuxedo in for a Board and Train to work through some 2% crazy issues and provided us updates, photos and videos of the bad and good things he was doing. It is such a relief to find someone who can really focus on the unique qualities of your dog and provide options to handle them. She listened respectfully to what we were and were not willing to do with him. I loved the way she interacted with him and treated him like her own.

Stephanie helped us with our dog Maya, who has some unique mental challenges. While its something that may not ever be fully fixed, Stephanie gave us real, practical tools to help manage and improve things. She truly cared about Maya and about us as owners, which really stood out. Id absolutely recommend her for any training needs. She's knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely wants the best for your dog.

Stephanie has done a wonderful job helping us with Gracie. She had to train me also which was the hard part. Gracie is a different dog now and we are so grateful to Stephanie!
