My two dogs have been with Bel for the last two years and we are so lucky to have her and Bobby!! They regularly attend daycare and stay for boarding when we are away. They both absolutely love her and are always so happy to see her! They are rescue dogs and so have their quirks but Bel really understands them and their personalities. It feels great to know my babies are safe and taken care of when I can't be with them.

This is the only place I will take my dog in LA. Belgin is so kind, wonderful to hee clients and an absolute dog whisperer. I can always rely on her to help me in a pinch and my dog is always sad to leave. She always posts photos of all the dogs she’s watching throughout the day so you can still feel close to your pup and know they’re having a great time!

Bel has been an absolute pleasure to work with. We adopted an extremely high energy puppy about 8 months ago, named Sky. He was always bouncing off of the walls, running around, getting into things, and also struggled a bit with being alone. He appeared to need constant attention with little ability to sit still.We hired Bel for training originally. She came once, gave us lots of helpful tips, recommendations, explained how/when to redirect, what not to do, how Sky will interpret different interactions from humans/dogs, etc. It was very helpful to me, because in our case Sky had a very alpha personality, if you let him, he'll walk all over you (literally and figuratively). But I also didn't know specifically when/how to redirect him at all times. Bel helped with this specific area a lot.The other big thing to note in our case was Sky's energy level. We were not able to give him the outlet he needed during the day due to my fiancé and me working. Bel offered her daycare up... and WOW it was noticeable. Sky always went to daycare super excited, and came back definitely worn out from a long day of play. This then made walking him easier and training in general a lot more productive.I can’t recommend Bel’s training and her daycare enough!

Bel is amazing at what she does! After bringing home an 8 week old puppy, I quickly realized I was not prepared to train him. I reached out to Bel and she was able to come meet with me and my puppy just two days later. She went above and beyond just training- she jammed a ton of training basics into our first session, explained the psychology behind the behavior, and helped me make changes in my home to set us up for success. After just one session, I've noticed a positive change in my pup and I've gained the confidence and an understanding I did not have before. Bel is also extremely personable and kind. I'd recommend her for anyone trying to learn what works best for themselves and their dog.

We are so thrilled we found Bel! She truly has such a special way with dogs; we always feel so safe leaving our fur baby with her. Our dog gets so excited when we drop her off and comes home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. Bel sends so many photo and video updates throughout the day and is very communicative - which gives us such peace of mind. Plus, her employees are wonderful too. Highly recommend!

I've written a review for Happy Doggies and Bel before but it's absolutely worth doing again as they've continued to be a big part of our dog's life - we love them! Our dog is obsessed with Bel and her beautiful presence with animals, and we've been grateful for her continued support as our dog has aged. We couldn't imagine anyone else taking care of our pup for day care, boarding or training. Happy Doggies is a must!

I'm so thankful I found Happy Doggies. My poodle terrier always comes back so happy and worn out from playing, exactly what I need after work. Bel and Bobby are both so kind and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs somewhere to send their pupper :)

Bel is absolutely the best person we've ever met for our girl Frankie (a 1 year old Aussie)! We had to temporarily relocate to West Hollywood from Pasadena for work (covid rules- we aren't allowed to go back to our houses while working- crazy long story I won't share). We're here for 4 months and desperately needed a daycare and I found Weho Happy Doggies in a google search with fantastic reviews. Unfortunately for us, she'd just closed the doors of the facility but she's providing daycare at her home/pet sitting. She took Frankie to evaluate her and unfortunately for us and Frankie- she's a little too barky when she wants to play which doesn't work well in apartment buildings, neighbors and all. But Bel still is going to do shorter pet sitting for us by taking her to the dog parks and on walks to get her out while we're working AND she referred us to a dog trainer we're about to start working with and a fantastic daycare for when we need Frankie to be out of our hands for full days! She has such a way with animals. Frankie immediately warmed up to her and acted like she didn't care it she came home with when we came to pick her up! I've never felt more safe leaving my little furry heart in the hands of someone else and can not wait until she opens her facility doors again. And Frankie can't wait to go on a walk with her soon! Thank you so much Bel for everything! And to all you wading thru the rabbit hole of dog sitters/daycares in Weho, look no further than Bel. She's incredible!

Bel and Bobby are the BEST. I am a terrible worrier when it comes to leaving my pup, but I had no trouble sleeping this time. Bel sent me constant updates and Sgt Puppers always looked so happy. They went out of there way to help me last minute. Pleased to have a new reliable, friendly, affordable go-to doggie paradise for Sgt. Puppers.

We had Bel, the owner, come in and do some training for our new rescue pup. Even one session helped us learn a ton. Luckily we learned she runs the daycare right down the street. We have left our pup for doggy day care and we've left her overnight as well because the staff is so great with the dogs. The constantly update their IG stories so you can keep an eye on your pup even when you're away. There's plenty of room for them to play and it's a fun atmosphere for them. 100% recommend and I wouldn't leave her anywhere else.

Happy Doggies (and Bel) have completely brought my dog out of her shell. It's taken some time for her to open up but going to daycare during the week has made her more comfortable around other dogs. The real change came after Honey boarded with Bel. I came back to a much more confident dog. She still learning to play but I've seen such an improvement in her behavior and happiness since she started going to Happy Doggies.

We bring our dog here a few times a month for regular daycare and we've used their overnight service. They have very reasonable prices. The staff is great. The owner, Bel, is amazing and I wouldn't trust anyone else to watch our pup.
