Our biggest concern before we started with David is that we had no control over our 1 year old rescue Lab/Pit mix Jax. This was especially apparent whenever we would have guests over and he would bark and growl aggressively. We had no idea how he would react in these situation and it led to […]
Tank is doing really well – I can’t believe how much he’s changed. I’ve actually had a few friends over who have commented on how different he is, and how well behaved. I no longer worry about opening the door and him darting outside to get at another dog. One of the two pictures I’ve […]
We had tried all kinds of different dog training courses before finding David at iworkdogs.com. With three young rescue dogs, we faced many challenges with our dog pack. One of our rescue dogs had been described as “untrainable” by his previous owner before that owner surrendered him to a shelter. Another one of our dogs […]
Knowing that I had just adopted a high drive German Shepherd was a little overwhelming to say the least! I got my dog Raksha with the goal to eventually work with her in a sport or activity beyond her being my pet, but I didn’t even know where to begin. Before I met David I […]
One of the things that I get, as a Los Angeles dog trainer, more than anything is… “my dog acts so much better with you.” When people say that, I can hear a little bit of sadness in their voice. More often than not, It’s not that I’m doing anything magical, its more a matter of […]
As a Los Angeles dog trainer, I get a lot of dogs that will not tolerate their groomer, vet or owners trying to trim their nails. Most dogs will snatch their paws away, scream or even trying to bite you. It’s universally uncomfortable for them in my experience. Knowing this, I like to make sure all […]
Exposure Does Not Equal Socialization More and more I go to evals and people tell me that they don’t understand why their dogs are dog reactive. “I mean we’ve socialized her a ton. She goes to the dog park every day and day care a couple times a week.” My response is usually… that’s your problem. […]
Our biggest concerns were with the lack of progress we were making in training our small dog on simple commands like “sit”, and trying to train our large dog to be less impulsive. David had a lot of great techniques for both of our dogs, who couldn’t be more unalike in temperament. He had great techniques […]
I found iWorkDogs by searching Yelp for reviews on dog trainers in my area – I am so happy I did! David Wright is a true professional in his field. We adopted Rocky at the age of 3 months. He was from a rescue litter of 9 and we were told he was the “puppiest” […]
What is “Doggy Bootcamp?” Sounds like someone yelling a bunch of commands at a dog to whip them into shape. That’s not what we do. We call our board and training process The Immersion Program. We call it immersion, because the dog is immersed in learning or the full term of their stay. This program […]
