Amazing! The dogs love it when Darcey comes over and it is wild to see how quickly their behaviors adapt to her presence! We have two rescues and Darcey has made a huge difference in a really short time. We love working with you Darcey and look forward to continuing! Thank you!

Darcey has been an absolute angel to us. After we were affected by the fire and had to relocate to temporary housing, she took care of our puppy, Cooper. Not only did she train him, but she also shared incredibly helpful tips that have made adjusting to a yardless life so much easier.

She constantly sends us photos and videos, and it’s clear that our puppy is in the best hands—truly loved and well cared for. We keep asking her for help—we just trust her that much.

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!”
