DARCEY IS THE GREATEST!! We consider her part of the family at this point! We brought Goji to UpDogLA for Board & Train when he was about 11 months old. He was nipping at ankles, jumping on people, pulling a lot on walks, biting at dresses or anything flowy, and just overall didn’t know how to sit still.
He spent two weeks with Darcey and came back a new man! He is now great on leash, completely stopped biting at ankles, and even runs to his “place”/crate when someones at the door and waits there until we tell him he can say hello (and does so without jumping on them!). She addressed all of our problems (and then some!) and then trained us on how to keep training at home to ensure that it all stuck. It’s also great that if he ever has a setback at home we can text her and she provides tips that have always fixed the problem within the week for us.
She also sends lots of picture updates and videos which keeps the whole process really fun as the pup-parent. She gives healthy high quality treats throughout the stay and sends a list of recommendations for food and toys that are specific to your pup. I could go on and on with compliments but overall I just love that she REALLY loves dogs! There is so much peace of mind that Goji is in great hands when he’s with Darcey. We have brought Goji for boarding a couple of times since his first board & train and Goji runs right to her and doesn’t look back haha!
Darcey has had such a positive impact on Goji’s life and in turn on our life at home and we are SO SO SO SO SO grateful for her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an incredible dog trainer!”

I was a little overwhelmed when a rescued a young shepsky puppy, so i brought him to train with darcey for a 3 week program. Not only did he learn a lot of useful commands, but she does a lot of work to properly socialize the dogs. He is a confident, calm, non-reactive dog who is great with other dogs and humans. Darcey really cares about puppies and her work... and it shows. Highly recommend!”

I cannot recommend Up Dog LA enough! Darcey is an incredible trainer who truly has a gift for working with dogs. Our pup Baba had an amazing time with her and learned so much through positive reinforcement. Darcey was patient, kind, and always made sure that Baba was having fun while also making progress.
One of the best parts about working with Up Dog LA is that we no longer have to use a prong collar on our walks with Baba. Thanks to Darcey’s expertise, Baba now walks calmly and confidently without any discomfort or stress. This has made our walks so much more enjoyable for both Baba and us!
Darcey is incredibly attentive and always made sure to communicate with us every day by sending pictures and videos of Baba’s progress. It was clear that she has a genuine passion for training and truly cares about the well-being of each and every dog she works with. Even the most difficult of dogs are no match for Darcey’s skills!
Overall, we are thrilled with the experience we had with Up Dog LA and would recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled, caring, and knowledgeable dog trainer. Thank you, Darcey, for everything!”
