World of Dog Training South Bay/LBC is a dog training business led by Kim Prapavat, a certified trainer with over 20 years of experience in the pet industry and over 5 years of dedicated dog training. They offer customized, real-world dog training programs designed to fit each dog’s unique needs and the owner’s lifestyle. Their signature approach, Modern Balanced Dog Training, combines positive reinforcement with mild corrections using tools like food, leash/collar, and low-level e-collar stimulation—allowing owners to choose the method they’re comfortable with. They emphasize teaching owners to understand dog body language and energy, creating stronger human-dog bonds. Services include private 1:1 lessons, an All-Inclusive Board & Train program (2–4 weeks), and an Unlimited 1:1 Real World Lessons package with guaranteed results for a full year. Training focuses on practical skills like loose-leash walking, recall, sit, stay, and managing reactivity, fear, and leash pulling. They also provide field trips during board & train to expose dogs to real-life distractions. Their training is tailored for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs, with a strong focus on behavior modification and obedience for everyday life.

They are known for their empathetic, judgment-free coaching style, helping owners feel confident and supported. Clients report fast results, even in the first session, and many have switched from other trainers after unsuccessful positive-only approaches. Kim has trained high-energy working breeds like Belgian Malinois and has been featured in national media, including YouTube’s Dogumentary and Karen Pryor’s Clicker Expo.

Additional services include a free downloadable guide, “Top 10 Dog Training Secrets,” and a free 15-minute discovery call to assess needs before committing to a program.
