Doggy Jitsu is a private dog training and rehabilitation service founded in Los Angeles in December 2018 by Daniel Robinson. The business offers in-home private sessions, board and train programs at their ranch, and group classes focused on building trust and respect between dogs and their owners. Daniel uses a “soft science” approach inspired by Jiu Jitsu, emphasizing dog psychology, energy, and body language to address issues like anxiety, aggression, reactivity, and basic obedience. He has over 4 years of intensive experience, including training rescue dogs through the California Department of Corrections’ Pawsitive Change program and working under renowned trainers. Doggy Jitsu also provides pet boarding services with specialized care for dogs with medical needs like diabetes and behavioral challenges like biting.

Their services are tailored to all dog ages and breeds, with programs designed for puppies, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Clients receive personalized homework, phone support between sessions, and ongoing guidance during and after board and train programs. The business emphasizes empowering dog owners to become confident pack leaders through clear communication and consistent training techniques.
