Wolfgang Expert Dog Training Gardena, California

Please avoid this place at all cost. They do not keep their boarding dogs in good conditions. Dogs often are left with no water or in filthy conditions. Business owners have their poor female dogs that they use for breeding in filthy kennels where the dogs are overly stressed out and kept away from everybody. This business does not care about your dogs health or wellbeing and I would highly recommend taking a "tour" of the location before leaving your pets here. All they care about is money and make sure to get bad comments removed so people will not see the truth abouth them!! Both owner and wife are horrible and should not have a business centered around animal training and boarding!!!

Great people. Very happy with my experience Beautiful dogs

Very impressed with the trailer I am satisfied so far

TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE IN CONTRAST TO EVERY SINGLE OTHER PLACE IN LOS ANGELES AND SURROUNDING AREAS. COLLEGE TUITION FOR DOG TRAINING. PFF! AS IF!

They're pretty cool I see huge amounts of progress in my Huskies behavior around humans, doggos and cats . My only concern is that you need to know the tricks beforehand so some YouTube videos would help. Other than that they're doing an amazing job !!! ????

Best place to get your dog trained. Took my dog and I am happy with the outcome. They are veey informative and helpful.

The dog I purchased is amazing. He knows all his commands in German and loves the entire family including my blind 19 year old chihuahua. THANK YOU WOLFGANG!

Great place and the trainers are first class.

A great place to train. I just wish they start at 9am as they advertise. They usually start at 9:10-ish. But the instructors are very good.

So glad I took my dog here. He's such a good dog now.

Do not recommend. Dog we bought for 12.5 k doesn't listen and attacks other animals. There's no protection training just tug o war.

Wolfgang it's number one I highly recommend everyone and anyone that wants to teach their dogs or dog daughters or Dog Sons discipline and obedience Wolfgang is number one I would never take my dog elsewhere they are not just experienced professionals but they have a love and compassion for our pets thank you Wolfgang

Extremely happy with their service. Very professional.

I have been looking every where for the safest and most affordable dog training center for my puppy, Coco. She is so Energetic ! I needed help Controlling her and learning commands . I found out about WolfGang so I went to check it out. The people looked Experience so I just enrolled my Belgian malinois dog to wolf gang expert dog training center on January 2021. Her trainer Devin was amazing. He was able to teach her to Sit , stay, down, and heel, which helped her obey commands while on the leash and walk by my side. She finished her dog training on February 4th . They made sure that the In-kennel Training was 100% completed . I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

Really nice place. This was 1st time coming here.

We brought our 5 month old German Shepherd mix, Luna for in kennel training. We took her because: she was out of control, wouldn't properly walk on a leash, lunged at people, would not stop barking at people and dogs. When we picked her up after she completed her training we gained control. Luna now listens to these commands: sit, heel, down, and stay. She no longer pulls or lunges on the leash. We are happy with the results of her training. Devin worked with her. He is an Awesome trainer. Keep in mind that they set the foundation and you as a dog owner must continue to practice with your dog once they are back home. My wife and I are happy with the results and would recommend any dog owner who is in serious need of gaining control of their dog.

My 4 month pup Kai was definitely a handful and I enrolled her in the in kennel training. Stephen was the best and what a difference I can now walk her with ease. Ana was also wonderful taking care of the office and keeping me informed as to how Kai was doing. Overall the entire staff was wonderful.

From the very first session we brought Rambo ( 4 month Cane Corso) it's been all the world of difference. He doesn't pull on the leash. He's got his confidence up. His obedience is great. Comes when called and looks to us for guidance. I always get compliments on how obedient he is. If you have a big dog and want to live without any kind of bad tension with you and your dog. Bring them here to get trained. The bond and respect will goes much stronger

THE BEST TRAINING YOU CAN GET FOR YOUR DOG!!! AND YOU!!!!!

Not to happy with the training ,the dog only wants to listen when you give him a treat we told them what was his problem and he still dose what we sent him to get trained for .I told the lady that he still doesn't listen ,and she told me that we have to keep training him the way they show us when we do group training I expect when I send a dog to get trained, to come back trained not spoiled with treats .

If you love your dog, please avoid this place at all costs. We had a healthy one-year old German Malinois. After reading all of the great reviews and meeting with Wolfgang personally, my son-in-law took our precious Simba to Wolfgang Expert Dog Training for the four week program on June 8, 2020. He returned home three weeks later in an urn. On June 23, 2020, Letty, the owner’s wife called my son-in-law around 8:00 a.m. to say that the trainer was taking Simba to the vet because he did not want to play with the other dogs and was not responding to the trainer. We thought he was going to our vet who is nearby, but we found out after several hours that he did not. About 9:00 a.m., Wolfgang’s receptionist contacted my son-in-law to tell him to go make the final $1500 payment, which he had been told would be due at the conclusion of the training. He did not go. Shortly after, Letty called again and said that Simba was fine. He was just missing his humans. She also said he needed an antibiotic but was not specific about why. My son-in-law had already been to Wolfgang’s to try to find out where Simba was and what was happening. He told Letty we would go back to see him. She said that she was going to the vet to pick him up and would let him know if he could go back to see him. An hour later, Wolfgang called and coldly told my son-in-law to put Simba down, and he would give him another dog from his facility. We were in complete shock given the previous reports we had received from his wife. It was at this point that we were given the name, address, and phone number of the vet who was treating Simba. My son-in-law spoke to the vet as we raced over there. Apparently, Letty or Wolfgang tried to give the okay to put Simba down without letting us know, but the vet insisted on speaking to his owner first. When we arrived, we were aghast by what we saw. Our beloved Simba was almost unconscious, attached to oxygen, tubes, and IVs. He was surrounded by the vet and several techs, all frantically doing everything they could to find out what was wrong with him and trying to keep him comfortable. He was very skinny. He had lost seven pounds in two weeks. He had a large abrasion on the right side of his muzzle and a smaller one on the left side. He was bleeding significantly from his nose. The initial diagnosis was bilateral bronchopneumonia with a secondary but undetermined issue. In spite of all of this, he struggled to get up and tried to nuzzle with us and leave with us when we had to go outside to allow the vet to work. Sadly, Simba went into cardiac arrest and could not be revived. He died that evening. As we waited to say our final goodbyes, the vet and tech told us that Simba arrived at the hospital near death in a kennel filled with vomit. The trainer who took him there was not able to give the vet any details about Simba’s condition or what might have happened to him (even though Wolfgang had told us that they have regular night kennel checks), and he left right away. However, given the gravity of his condition, the vet said that this was not something that came about overnight as Wolfgang and Letty tried to make us believe. It had been building for three to five days, and Simba definitely would have shown symptoms during that time. Had the trainers paid attention and taken Simba to the vet earlier, he could have been fine. To this day NO ONE from Wolfgang Rader Dog Trainers has contacted my son-in-law or anyone in the family to offer condolences and/or an explanation. Our attempts to reach Wolfgang have been ignored. We wish someone had warned us before and hope that this makes anyone considering the program think twice and go elsewhere where you can be an active part of your dog’s training.

Such a waste of time, I reached out to them a few times, I got no response. Then I called them one last time, I said im interested in the packages for training and protection but I'd like to speak to the trainer first. She responded back with oh you're in luck hes here right now come. So I drive an hour to go see them. I get in the office and I was like great, so where's the trainer. She's like you can talk to me.. I said wait didnt we just have this conversation. If I was talking to the receptionist I could have done that on the phone I want to talk to the owner/trainer. Whats the point? In this game.. Honestly the place looks like a dump, and the dogs are all locked up and barking like crazy. Maybe its for the best.

The trainers know what they’re doing and professionals we are very happy how our dog behaves thanks Wolfgang.

True progress in a matter of days. Enjoy going to put in work every weekend.

I could see the difference right away. She was more calm and well behaved. The trainers are very professional and explain step by step while they training your dog. I would feel free to recommend friends to bring there dogs here.

JUST DONT EVEN BOTHER COMING TO THIS PLACE AND I DONT EVEN WANT TO PUT ONE STAR

A game changer with my large rambunctious German Shepherd puppy. My Lanna still needs work, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel. Steven was my personal trainer, but I am now taking group classes. Customer service is excellent, Ana is very helpful..

I couldn't be more satisfied. They are real professionals. Even after only one day of training I noticed positive changes in my dogs behavior. I can't wait to see what more lessons will do for him.

I have not yet taken my dog for his training but the people seem very friendly I believe my dog will do well there also saw special Channel 9 News seems like a great place can't wait to have my dog trained there

So far the best place in town to train your dog. Professional and friendly service.
