LA Dogworks Review

We love LA Dogworks. We learned of them through a dog park friend and now we all take our pups there on the same days so they can have playdates. Staff is super nice and their COVID-19 setup for drop-off/pick-up works well.

Speechless after seeing the owner act like a child. It's very uncomfortable. I feel bad for the great Staff.

Andrew is an amazing trainer. He truly cares and takes his craft seriously. I prefer this type of militant approach rather than someone who worries about appeasing the emotional instability of his/her customers.

Our black lab puppy is in great hands and I highly recommend this place for everyone who truly wants to see their dog trained correctly.

The place is clean, the staff is nice and our pup loves the day care.

skimming these reviews and it looks like this place has a bad rep because of a reality TV show? wow, people are dumb.

Nothing but great experiences with LA Dogworks. Boarded my 1yr old red heeler there for 4 days over the holidays. Andrew gave me a tour of the place first time I came in and I immediately trusted the guy and the way he's built out the facility. He's a good dude and knows dogs. The staff is great.

I don't believe in this review culture hive-brain mentality that the internet breeds and hence never contribute a review. But I'm making an exception in this case because this place doesn't deserve the bad rep. Go visit and make your own damn opinion.

GO Elsewhere...Run Elsewhere! Not even 1/64th of a star!

I don't understand whats with all the negative reviews here. I've never seen the reality show or met the owner. I've had nothing but a positive experience here. We bring our dog Zuko here once a week for about a year, he's a Queensland Heeler and needs the weekly exercise. He's never come back with any injuries. Every time I pull up to drop him off, he is jumping and howling in the back seat from excitement. The only time hes ever pulled on the leash is to get to the front door of this place faster! He runs and plays with the other pups all day and is spent by the time I pick him up in the evening. The biggest plus for me is that he has enough space to run around, and this place is like a big warehouse. No other doggy daycare has the space to match. LA Dogworks has helped us celebrate many holidays by accommodating Zuko for long stays so we can go out of town. There is even an option for a holiday themed meal sometimes! As long as you reserve in advance, you'll get a spot. Pick up and drop off is very easy, use the alley in the back or the front door on Highland. I've never met the owner but the staff is very professional and friendly. They treat my dog very well and I will continue to give them my business.

horrible place, the old neurotic crazy man who owns it has some serious issues... STAY AWAY!!!! (Everyone needs rabies shots ... That old man bites

I've never left my dog Jackie off at any doggie day care and LA Dogworks was the first and I loved it! The staff were awesome and you can tell they love their jobs and dogs! I had attempted to drop her off at the other daycare down the block but she was missing 1 shot, the bordetella. They administer the bordetella shot and took her in. I'm now hooked! Next time I'm in town visiting with Jackie this will be our first stop!

Less than 2 1/2 Stars out of 144 Reviews?! Not 5, not 4 1/2, not 4, not 3 1/2, not 3, not 2 1/2 but even less than that. Completely contrasting reviews, from one extreme to the other. Online reviews are huge in this day and age. Something is clearly amiss here. We need James Comey and the incredible FBI to crack this case.

Seems great.. I can drop and pickup at anytime. The owner explained the cleaning system which meant a lot.. some facility smell like every dog
They ve ever had. I appreciate. The owner approach to Dog Boarding, they are dogs, not kids . It made me re-think ideas about my dog having his own couch or a
Tv in The room. With this company I d rather spend the money on extra walks and maybe occasional grooming services . I haven t yet, but looking forward to it .

^^ to Ryan Stanwood, great place. Reality tv shows are fake news . Thanks Daniel for your awesome customer service

LA DOG WORKS is a joke find some were else Togo, Andrew has no idea how run a business, and he is really rude to the people who works there

I sound like a great business idea and is unfortunate as was a false reality of what is clearly not real. it is impossible for a place with 30 employees and have great facilities, have problems such as the television showed. I invite you to investigate a little more depth and not superficially look at what television in order to make money want to show the world. He congratulated them on creating a good space where pets can play, rest and learn.

So far this place is fine for daycare, with reasonable rates. The owner is a little bit of an A-type, but I don't find him intimidating or anything. Certainly after talking with him I don't believe for a second that he is cruel to the dogs, nor would he allow his employees to be. My dog came home healthy and happy. Board-and-train is too expensive for me, and some of the gear is pricey, but not that unusual for the area.

For those who based it on the show only and never been STOP TYPING. I suggest if you're in LA and have a dog or know someone who does and want to get something for them, go in and check it out and see for yourself. If not, don't bother typing. Also Andrew, I understand why you're replying but tone it down, just said "come in and see for yourself," that's all. Also have you ran Hank Maarse and told each other your The Profit stories?

The one star is only because I love dogs. You were the only dog I didn t like

I would not take my dog to a place where the owner
Is violent and treats his employees very badly, and they are a badly educated.

The show about the Profit is fake, Andrew is a god.

Not enough handlers for the volume of dogs they house, which results in dog fights at this facility on a regular basis. Unsafe!

What part of the the show was an ambush? The part where you abused employee's or called everyone a moron. I own my own business. Marcus could not make me abuse my employee's for a show. That was all you or you are a bigger phony then you profess "The Profit" to be. I treat my employee's with respect even the screw ups that occur. Its the only way to build a bond within the company.

Oh, she's a feisty one! Like a Donald Trump of dog motels!

I watched the television show and I accompanied the company over the years, I would like to congratulate the owner especially for the passion for animals and for the business! Sometimes explosive people are misunderstood, but they are the most honest!

If there was an option to give this place no stars. I saw this Dog day care on the Profit and I was not happy with what I saw. I would NEVER EVER bring my Angel into this place. I have to much respect and love for my baby girl that I would never subject her to the disrespect and hate of this day care. I would never set my girl in this place, she's getting old and I would never put her in a place I know would hurt and abuse of this place.

The owner Andrew who works here and runs this place, is by far one of the most delusional people I have ever seen. His complete lack of respect for his employees, the people who make or break a business, is disgusting and unacceptable. This person does not deserve success in any way, shape or form. Delusions of grandeur, control freak, being in complete denial, exaggerated sense of self-importance and lack of empathy for others all equal up to Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Why would anyone want to give this mean spirited, hateful person a cent by bringing their dog here is beyond comprehension.

Marcus Lemonis is a crook and Andrew BULLIED the bully love it!

The owner.......What a total bully and insecure man!!

Dogworks is heaven on earth for my furry four footed family members rosie and lucky. i would take them nowhere else. piece of mind is a wonderful thing to have and i find it at dogworks while rosie and lucky are having fun being healthy, spending the night or being groomed. always... family first and we are proud and happy to be part of the dogworks family! thank you andrew et all. you are all magnificent! maria, chris, lucky and rosie

I am giving this business a 5 Star for putting up with all of this. I seen the show and all employees can quit if they don t like working their. I love animals and I would take my pet their if I lived in California. Keep on keeping on!

Not only was andrew nice to my pets, he was nice to my family.

I was very pleased by the amazing customer service, that I received through the phone. A man named Daniel answered my questions on the reality TV show the profit which made it seem like the owner was a really bad person. I'd like to give a huge thanks to Daniel.

The owner is very mean, this is not based off any tv shows I have seen and I am using a fake name.

I too watched the profit however, we who are not customers need to respect the staff who continue to provide a service to dog owners in L.A and not forward negative reviews that are not based on their dogs experiences.

Just in passing, I got to know the place. As I was not with my dog on the trip, my interest was solely in appreciating what the place has to offer. Highly recommend. A different place and I am sure that I can offer the best treatment to my pet.

OBSESSED with LA Dogworks and have taken my dog here for 2 years now. I know the owner and he is absolutely lovely. Susana is my dogs groomer and she handles dogs with such love & care. Almost as if this was made to be her job. My dog suffered from really bad abuse and is very sensitive when it comes to meeting new people, but Susana always makes him feel welcome. I also buy his organic dog food from here and they bring it out to my car for me on most days. They re dog treats are fantastic. All of the front desk staff go out of there way to be beyond sweet and knowledgeable. I am sometimes confused how they find such sweet employees! Love love love this place and my dog wouldn t be as happy and clean if it wasn t for the LA Dogworks team.

The owner is supremely involved. I have a young rescue German Shepard. He personally gives new clients the tour. And he worked with me to figure out the best boarding solution for my anxious pup. Incredible business. Super knowledgeable and proactive.

The owner is a lunatic, I would not take my dog with him

Like any business, a customer's experience is unique to that customer. I have been taking my dogs here for years, long before they appeared on the profit and long before Dog hotel or WAG hotel were on the same blocks. I NEVER had any problems. I am not writing this review to negate other's experience. Each pet parent needs to have their own experience, only then will you know why there are different ratings, IMHO.

You keep saying it was scripted. Why would you approve a script that paints you as a savage and a horrible business honor? Now all you do is argue and fight with people online.

I saw the owner beating and mistreating my dog. he is crazy. I never come back.

I am very unhappy with the owners attitude. That is a bad environment for animals

We've been taking our now-twelve-year-old large dog here off and on for over two years and have had excellent experiences with both the staff and Andrew for daycare and boarding. Our dog is always excited to come here.

Like nearly anywhere, I wish it was cheaper, but the price is competitive with the two neighboring places and I think we get what we pay for here.

Used old rags, used old covers, employees are unprofessional and will talk about you and your dog negatively. I wish I could give this place 0 stars but unfortunately I can t .Roaches, dusty, and dogs aren t always watched so that s why dogs get in fights and dogs get injured. My experience here was terrible and I m very happy I will not be returning ever again. I do not recommend this filthy place for your dog because they deserve better. There s too much favoritism and attention on only specific dogs and I believe all dogs should be loved and payed attention here the same !! Its unfair for the rest of the dogs. It s overly priced for a bad dog care!

Love LA Dogworks and so does my dog! He gets so excited every time we pull up and having it be a one stop shop is amazing, day care, boarding and grooming makes my life so much easier. In addition is 24/7 365 so my dog can be there whenever and I'm never worried about him and I can drop him off before or after work without having to rush or pay an extra fee!

Nice compact small dog area separate from the main larger dog indoor free play room. Super clean and great ventilation. They usea healthier enzymatic, more natural cleaners to keep the space fresh so your fur baby comes home not bringing his friends sent along. Even so, there is a very well-appointed grooming facility in the same space with great groomers. A good place to get your best friend's nail trim-buffing at fair price, for the kind and professional grooming services that they offer. This place has a nicely appointed Pet Supply area. The proprietor is nice enough, and the staff is definitely liked by the dogs. It's a great place for daycare, and a fair place for overnight stays. Definitely check them out if you are looking for irregular or occasional dog place for doggie daycare, or for your overnight vacation. This street has several doggy day care places. Until recently, there were no other rivals. True, until Wags took over the old Pooch Hotel on the other side of the block. I tried this Wags location, but I have visited and it looks good too. Always great to have options, especially if your work brings you to different parts of town or another part of the globe. It's nice to know that Fido will be well taken care of, regardless. I give this place for your own "Spot" 5 Woofs!

LA Dogworks is just absolutely fantastic. The staff genuinely lives what they do and truly care for your dogs like no other place I have ever been to. The facilities are clean, open, and odorless. Its the first time I can say that my dog smells better when I pick her up from a day care than when I dropped her off! From grooming to training and everything in between, this should be your go to place for all things dog related! Best part- they are open 24/7 and offer boarding packages for when you want to go out of town! You can go out for a night on the town and pick your dog up on your way home after a date. And of course the owner- a true gem! Andrew is not only a fantastic trainer but he is also a down to earth great human being. This place is 100% aces!

I bring my dog here when I'm working and he LOVES it, he runs in every morning to visit his friends!
I don't know where he finds his staff but they are all wonderful and very friendly and really like their work.
I recommend this playground to everyone, it takes all the stress away from collecting your dog when you finish work, if you are running late, as it's open 24 hours.
Had to write this because I think it's a shame some people have been negative with their reviews the fact that the owner answers all of them shows how he cares!
I think it's well run Very clean and the kids have fun all day (With some down time too)
Lucky are the dogs who come here!!!

La Dogworks is AMAZING. My 4 dogs have been going there for 4 years. The owner and the staff are WONDERFUL and very responsive. They provide a safe and loving environment for my dogs and are incredibly professional. I can always count on them and they are an extension of my family. My dogs CANNOT wait to get out of the car and go to the dogpark.

For anyone considering using LA Doworks - go check it out and you will be impressed wit the facility and the people.

I love LA Dogworks and so does BERLIN! I trust them with Berlin and I know she is being taken care of with extra care.
I love that I can drop off Berlin at any time of the day or night, and or pick her up.
I board Berlin at LA Dogworks and she doesn t come home freaked out or stressed from being away like she did once, when I brought her to Board elsewhere.
It s the best!

This guy says' the show is fake. I do not find any mention of it on the internet. I think it's just a way for you to relativize your situation and, consequently, your company. Poor employer.

I am only giving 4 out of 5 stars (would do 4 1/2 if I could) because it's a bit pricey for me :( However, that being said, I took Toby (my English Bully) to 4 places (all had good reps) before LA Dogworks. At EVERY place Toby would end up injured. This is the only facility I feel safe sending him to. So from that respect, worth the money for him to be happy and healthy. Everyone I have seen there has been incredibly nice, friendly - and washed Toby's belongings if they got dirty (believe, most places wont do that). Lol, changed my mind, giving 'em a 5!

Very clean facilities, friendly staff, and after hours pick available. Happy to have found them.

The owner kicked my dog!!! He literally kicked him like he was a football!! All because my dog had an accident on the floor!!! I apologized and offered to clean it up. I wasn't even a client yet, I was there to set something up!! How rude and disrespectful!! The owners' staff had to apologize for him as he started to have a huge baby tantrum and stormed off stomping his feet! How immature can this vile man be?! I was so close to pressing charges however, my dog was not injured and was offered monetary compensation ($600) I used the money to buy my little dog tons of treats and bones!! Stay away from this place! For the safety of your furry best friend!!

After years. Still working? The owner says the impressions about him are false. But the guy is an actor. Do not. You really look like an idiot

Great staff! The facility is cleaner than most people s homes. Andrew, the owner is always aware of everything, pays attention to detail and his staff is the same. I love LA Dog works, and so does my dog!

One of the most entertaining profit episodes ever. If Andrew can survive the backlash of that combined with COVID he must be a great business owner and have fantastic product and service offerings. I hate when people try to mess with other's livelihoods by giving phony 1 star reviews, so I had to help out.

Owner treats his employees like dog crap. Imagine how he treats your dog. Go here if you want bad karma.

Saying that the reality show is fake does not help your image at all, it just shows how correct the reality show was. A rubbish person who one day will find someone to correct you.

It s sad how all these people are bashing Andrew they are all losers and are all social media cockroaches remember people who live in glass house should throw the first stone my god bless you sir for all these evil people , Rise up sir

I'm giving it 3 stars, just because Neil is a good employee. It's the most <3

Not recommended place at all, the owner a nasty man

We take our dog there occasionally, where she seems happier than being home alone. The place is well run and the staff seems to treat the animals nicely.

If the owner loved his business that much he would make sure the employees felt that same love and passion for it. Love is what changes the world, and I believe it can change your business. Think about this.

Love this place. Andrew and his staff were highly recommended by several of my closest friends so we decided to send our black lab pup for day care leading to board and train. He loves it and so do we. Excellent staff. Don t worry about the reviews about Andrew. He s just eccentric. He knows how to train and this place is clean and runs well. Friendly staff. I ve been to other daycare places - this one is our favorite.

The owner seems to be very rude and is in denial! Like if you know you re rude own up to it don t make up excuses the owner needs better people skills and that s that

The owner is an unbalanced but worse are the employees who submit to working for such a person, and still got the facade of the store that Marcus paid for the suitcase.

This facility is very clean, staff is very professional and caring, and our dog is always happy, healthy and relaxed when we pick him up from a stay here. I highly recommend this place for boarding.

I came to the store a month ago and thought that the owner was a very loud and mean man. And no this is not from watching the profit.

Poor employee, the owner should resign. #theprofitisreal

I plan to use LA Dogworks on a regular bases. I love the place, but more important my dog does. Great staff ... very caring, and wonderful facility!

Shame on people judging this business based on a highly dramatised TV Show.
Bring your dog. Get a first hand judgement, then put a review, for Internet's sake people !

Keep up the good work, Andrew.

ZERO STARS. What a sad excuse for management. Never go here!

Excellent day care boarding and grooming training etc. they do it all! I have come to la dogworks for years with my Saint Bernard. Who died s few years ago. I am back with my new puppy. So many of the pemployees are the same. It was like coming home.

My Saint Bernard had seizures which they handled. They took wonderful care of him. And they are wonderful with my puppy!

I recommend LA dogworks without any reservations!

My dog absolutely loves this place!!! The staff is wonderful, the groomers are top notch!! I can go on, and on about this place. I love the fact that when I pick up my dog they would tell me how his day was, or share picture with me!!! I can tell the staff really loves dogs!! I would recommend this place to everyone, especially those with puppies!! I love hearing that my dog has friends!!!!

The way the owner treats his staff is unforgivable and unbelievable. The lack of respect for people that work hard is disgusting

My wife brought our dog in for grooming, and they forgot to trim the nails. We paid for the service, at least you could do is actually service our dog. Smh!

Dogs are very anxious, aggressive, and high strung after being here. Maybe one person per pen who is really there just to stop them from humping each other. Dont send your dogs here.
