Good Dog K9 Training and Services, LLC, is a professional dog training business founded by Adelita (Adele) Alvarez, a certified and experienced dog trainer since 2002. The business offers both private and group obedience training for puppies, adolescent, and adult dogs, with a focus on positive reinforcement and balanced training methods. Training is conducted in-home, in group classes, and includes optional pack walks in Toluca Lake, Burbank, Studio City, and Griffith Park to reinforce socialization and obedience. Adelita also provides Silver Tails Services — in-home, one-on-one dog grooming tailored for senior, frail, or special-needs dogs, using eco-friendly products and no crating. She emphasizes clear communication between owners and dogs, tailoring lessons to each dog’s unique needs, and includes children in training sessions. Her services are trusted by multiple veterinarians in the Los Angeles area, and she has mentored other dog trainers, including those from the Animal Behavior College.

The group obedience program includes 12 half-hour classes over six weekends, with additional pack walks included, covering commands like sit, stay, come, leave it, and leash walking, as well as socialization and confidence-building. Private training is available in-home with 1.5-hour initial sessions and follow-ups. The business promotes long-term reinforcement through monthly subscription-based pack walks after graduation. Adelita’s approach is personable, practical, and focused on preventing behavioral issues before they escalate.
