This is our second time working with Gordon and Webster‘s Dog Training.
Our dog Lexi had an excellent experience when we completed the Basic Obedience nearly a year and a half ago and we wanted to build on that.
We’ve just completed the Intermediate Obedience Program and we also added Odor Detection to that training as well. Just a side note, the Odor Detection is EXTREMELY fun to watch your dog use one of their best assets but Gordon also opened our eyes to a something that is invaluable – teaching Lexi to track the scent of our 2 daughters. Now when taking them to the park, the girls love playing hide and seek but as a parent, it’s comforting knowing this is a tool that I pray we never have to use on an outing, but she can pick up their scent once the command is given and be ready to run with her.
Websters Dog Training is the only business (that we know of) offering Scent Detection in our area, specifically within a 5 mile radius – we could have driven an hour or so to get the training but not sure of the quality to comment on that.
Gordon expects and gets a lot out of your dog. He’s fair but firm (much needed with Lexi) and they know it’s going to be exciting if they focus (Lexi gets so excited she starts spinning in circles for me to open the door when she hears Gordons car pull up). Some of the things Lexi learnt during the intermediate was to walk backwards, pivot into heel position (both sides of us) and orbit around our bodies. On the days we need to get a little extra energy out, Gordon trained Lexi to run around an object that we specify (cone, tree, ball, etc), and once you give the command it’s off to the races to get the fun interaction as her reward. Lexi was also taught to “down” on command at any given time (amazing to see her do this while sprinting) and again, something invaluable if there was ever a danger, I can yell that command knowing she will stop and lay down right then and there until released.
An extra perk is Lexi participated in the “famous scented trail” (after doing the above training), which is a beautiful hike that is pre-scented by Gordon and Jake. They lay a trail of Fox & Coyote Urine beforehand (yes, they do the hike laying it before we even get there) and then guides us on tracking the various scents, one of the activities that Lexi LOVES.
Please note, all the above takes time and effort on the owners behalf. Gordon has been very helpful with reviewing videos of my training Lexi alone and given me pinpointed tips for Lexi to understand what I’m asking her to do. When training, Gordon and Jake encourage you to video their techniques to reference when you’re doing the homework alone, another piece of invaluable information.
I promise you, if you work the system the system will work! Trust in them, do your homework (BIGGEST PART) and you will have a dog you NEVER thought possible, our entire family is grateful for their training. Lexi is a happy, healthy and balanced dog that my toddlers love to be around.
Gordon, Jake and the Websters Dog Training Team – Keep up the amazing work and don’t change anything! The girls love Lexi because of your training, we never thought we could have a dog “like this”.
Thank you again!!

Our dog Spooky was out of control.
Counter Surfing.
Lunging At Strangers.
Jumping On Guests.
Food Guarding.
Charging Out The Door Before Us.
Etc Etc..
We needed help and a friend referred us to
Websters Dog Training. Gordon came straight out the day we called him and did a
free consultation.
We signed up for the 5 week Behavioral Program and
it completely changed our lives and our dogs too.
Gordon was very fair when handling Spooky but the
moment he stepped out of line Gordon was also firm.
It was very clear right from the beginning of “
Our “ training , that we had been enabling our dog’s behavior for a long time.
Websters Dog Training insist on Consistency from
you while communicating with your dog and that’s our responsibility.
They also require that same consistency from the
dog also. This adjustment in lifestyle/understanding has been an eye opener and
a pleasure to be involved in.
Dogs are a lot of work but when you understand the
basic mechanics of how they think… It’s a “Light Bulb Moment ..!”
Give Gordon and Jake a call. Give yourselves and
your dog the chance of a happier life.

We were looking for a Dog Trainer in the 90066 zip. Someone who would come to our house and offer “ One on One “ training for our dog Spooky.
After speaking to Gordon of Websters Dog Training, we knew he was the trainer for us.
Our dog was in charge of us and we needed our home and lives returned to normal.
Gordon laid out the content of the training and our involvement in it. One thing we weren’t expecting was Crate Training. What a difference that made. That alone was almost a game changer for our dogs behavior.
Gordon emphasized holding our dog accountable for his behavior. We taught him Wait, Stay, Leave It and Come. We practiced until he was perfect at those.
We were focusing on “ Impulse Control “ and he now has that mastered.
We’ve enjoyed this process immensely and our new understanding of what a responsible dog owner should be.
We also learnt to be more patient with our dog and understand his needs on a daily basis.
Websters Dog Training is a small family run business , where Gordon and his nephew Jake take care of all of your needs.
Give these guys a call or a text and you won’t be disappointed.
Thank you Webster’s Dog Training ..!

Our puppy is 2 weeks into into Gordon’s 5-week program and we could not be more pleased with Gordon and with our pup’s progress. Gordon knows what he is doing and his organization makes every session productive and more importantly, the trainings to do on your own easy and fun. He’s very personable and cares about his clients, both the pup and the person. The two sessions a week with Gordon are the highlights of mine and my puppy’s week. More...

We feel so lucky to have found Gordon. When we met him, we were struggling to create a home environment that felt even remotely manageable with our new puppy. Gordon helped us regain a sense of control and develop a strong, loving bond with our dog. Gordon has amazing compassion and insight into animal behavior, and he’s also a dream to work with — he’s organized, punctual and always available for an after-hours question or chat. Training a puppy takes love and hard work, and we’re so grateful to have had Gordon guiding us through it all. He’s the best! More...

I got my golden doodle at 11 weeks & started training with Gordon right away. I reached out to a few trainers & Gordon’s prompt, detailed, knowledgeable response stood out. I was lucky he was available to start the same day. We just completed 10 classes. I highly recommend Gordon for his top notch knowledge & his love for dogs. He truly cares for them and goes above and beyond. My puppy & I learned so much! We will continue to practice & look forward to more classes with Gordon in the future! More...

I can’t recommend Gordan strongly enough. I’ve been working with him for over 6 sessions now and am seeing great results in my year and a half old pup already. I especially appreciate how much time Gordan takes to explain his practices and to give feedback to make sure I’m leading my dog correctly. He’s a wealth of knowledge, quick to reference a specific book that supports his practices, or to offer up stories of how past clients have succeeded. I feel especially confident in his training due to his deep background in training working dogs, not just house pets. He also is a pleasure to work with and you can tell he cares deeply about his work. My dog loves working with him just as much! Whenever she sees him, she gets just as excited as when she sees her other favorite people. More...

I can't recommend Webster's Dog Training enough! Gordon is an excellent trainer; he is highly knowledgable, patient, and explains things in ways that really resonate.
Gordon been working with our 7-8 month old GSD puppy and we've seen huge improvements in just the first month of working with him. Our puppy is a rescue with no prior training foundation, but despite that, Gordon has helped us tap into our dog's innate intelligence in ways we never expected. We're looking forward to continued progress and can't wait to see our dog reach his full potential with Gordon's help!

Your dog did something that worried you. You love your dog, and you only want what's best for them. You want to help them, and you need some assistance.
You look online and see a ton of options for dog trainers. You're worried. What if you invite someone into your home who truly doesn't know what they're doing? What if they lead your dog into even worse behaviors? What if they are unpleasant to be around as a person? And what if your dog just doesn't like them? I'm here to tell you that I had all of those worries, and Gordon squashed every single one of them.
Gordon truly cares about you and your dog. He is a straight-to-the-point kind of person. You are paying him to tell you what's wrong and how to fix it, and he will. You may have a set of things in your head that you need your dog to fix. You will need an open mind because he will provide you with a list of things (one at a time) that YOU need to fix to become closer to your dog. For your dog to respect you. For your dog to think you are the most important person in their life. For your dog to love you more than they ever have before.
Gordon is going to challenge you. I implore you to keep an open mind. Don't get me wrong; if you disagree with something, he will definitely hear you out, but still, try your best to implement his recommendations.
Was I a fan of crate training before Gordon? No. Does my dog now love his crate? Yes. It's his safe spot. It's his den. Did I always let my dog on all of the furniture before Gordon? Yes. Does my dog now seem to respect time on the couch more now that it's only when I allow him up? Absolutely. Does my dog love me less now that I have given him all of these constant rules to follow? Hell no. He loves me more. He's stimulated, he's excited, he pays more attention to me.
Gordon has given me and my wife the tools to continue training my dog and all of my future dogs to live a happy, safe, and fulfilling life. The difference between my dog before and after Gordon is night and day.
Also, he's just a fun guy to be around.
Gordon gets a 20/10. This guy rules. Hire him!
Hot Tip: Have a black cup of coffee with a spoon of sugar waiting for Gordon when he visits you and your pup; this dude is busy. Help him out!

Thanks Guys, Grant is such an exceptional dog and will only continue to improve with your leadership and love.
Maya I.
We first started training with Gordon, of Websters Dog Training, when our dog Turk was 12 weeks old.
We put Turk through the 6 week Obedience Program and were amazed at his progress under Gordon’s guidance.
First Gordon established a relationship based on Hand Signals. Once these were understood and practiced, he then taught multiple vocal commands.
We were given lesson notes and homework after every visit, easy to follow and very detailed, which we practiced until the next lesson.
What we clearly noticed was Turks bond with Gordon; it was a relationship of trade, based on fair but firm handling , not only did our dog enjoy these lessons - he excelled at them ..!
Websters Dog Training Philosophy is based on the dog offering you taught behaviors in any given situation in exchange for reward; food, toys, tactile and verbal praise, instead of you asking the dog for them.
Positive Reinforcement is Gordon’s primary instruction but firmness is often required with adolescent dogs and Gordon uses just enough for your dog to refocus without losing your dog’s respect or trust.
Did we enjoy the experience..?
Turk is just over six months old now and we’ve just begun the Intermediate Obedience Program.
Turk is learning to :
Walk Backwards.
Pivot Into Heel Position.
Orbit Around Our Bodies.
Etc Etc.
His confidence and focus is through the roof..!!
Thank you again Websters Dog Training.

I highly recommend Gordon. He had a profound impact on me (as the one who needed to learn how to be a good and responsible dog owner) and my dog, a 3 y/o rescue, pit bull mix. My dog was reactive and lacked any skills, and I was a first time dog owner. Gordon was a wonderful teacher, very patient, and absolutely loved my dog. In a few short months, my dog's behavior was significantly improved, and I learned how to demonstrate the leadership that was required to earn my dog's trust and ease his fears. More...

Josefo Robledo
I recently had the pleasure of working with Gordon for my dog's training, and I am beyond impressed with the results. In a remarkably short period, Gordon has transformed my dog into the perfect companion.
His techniques are straightforward and incredibly effective, making the training process not only easy but also enjoyable for both me and my dog.
Gordon's approach is gentle yet firm, and he has a remarkable way of connecting with dogs. He understands their behavior and knows exactly how to guide them towards better habits. The progress my dog made in such a short time is nothing short of amazing. Not only is my dog better behaved, but he's also happier and more confident, thanks to Gordon's training methods.
What stands out most about Gordon is his genuine love for dogs and his commitment to their well-being. He doesn't just train dogs; he forms a bond with them, which is evident in the way my dog responds to him. It's clear that he isn't just doing a job; he's following his passion, and that makes all the difference.
If you're looking for a dog trainer who is effective, compassionate, and dedicated, Gordon is the person to go to. He has not just trained my dog but also educated me on how to continue the good work. I highly recommend his services to any dog owner looking for positive changes in their pet's behavior. Gordon is truly a master at what he does.

Gordon comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience. He is personal, easy to work with and learn from.
He uses real life stories to explain certain situations that we should be aware of to best train our dog.
Gordon is flexible, extremely helpful and offer suggestions for us to improve.
He gave us detailed notes so we can practice drills with our dog outside of sessions.
We have learned a lot from Gordon and recommend him to anyone who needs a help with their dogs on anything.

There are not enough accolades to say about Gordon Webster and his dog training. We are previous dog owners yet this puppy was overwhelming us. Gordon patiently and wisely led us down a path of understanding behaviors, skill-building (for us and for our pup!), and learning how to get to a place of joy and appreciation. Gordon is truly a “dog whisperer”. His approach was positive reinforcements vs punishment and he is always respectful of our dog (who is always so happy to to work with him!). Truly can’t thank Gordon enough and look forward to continuing learning, playing and enjoying our well-behaved, happy, inquisitive pet. More...

Gordon started working with us by the time our puppy was around 11-12 weeks old and I’m so glad we did. He’s given us an amazing template to help our girl, Biscuit get on the right path to being an enjoyable and responsive puppy.
With his help we have been able to get biscuit to follow so many commands.
Most importantly he’s given me and my partner the right mindset and philosophy around raising a puppy. It’s not just dog training but it’s people training.

Highly recommend working with Webster’s Dog Training. We recently rescued a 65 pound Labrador who would go crazy every time she saw another dog! She pulled on the leash and barked. After a few weeks with Webster’s Dog Training we can now enjoy our walks! Gordon gave us the tools we needed to work with our dog in a way that was fun for us and our dog. He is extremely knowledgeable and set us up for success so that we can continue working on behavior, learning new tricks, and building our relationship.

I found Gordon Webster through a post on Bark close to a month ago, and have done seven sessions with him. I can't recommend him highly enough.
My family adopted a rescue dog, about one year old, at the end of July. He's the third rescue we've had over the past twenty years; in that time I've worked with five or six trainers for various amounts of time.
Gordon distinguishes himself in a number of ways. He's knowledgeable; has worked with a large number and wide range of dogs; and has a family background in training & breeding dogs.
He won't just make your dog sit: Gordon will help you understand why your dog would +want+ to sit for you. He understands that canine psychology isn't the same as its owners, and while he clearly loves dogs, Gordon doesn't anthropomorphize. He is also clear that he's not really with you for an hour at a time to train your dog. He's there to train +you+ how to best work with your dog to obtain the desired results.
On a practical level, Gordon's responsive, flexible, and generous with his time. He's encouraged me to text him questions in between our sessions, and has followed up with a detailed phone call rather than just a yes or no text. He's happy to tailor sessions to whatever it is I'm interested in working on.
There are lots of dog trainers advertising on the Westside of LA, many with little experience and dubious methods. Gordon's the real thing, and I feel lucky to have found him.

Gordon was wonderful to work with! He taught both of us so much in just three sessions, and he was always patient and kind. I am going to switch to a female trainer, but that has nothing to do with Gordon - he's fantastic and I'm sad to end our training early. My dog is a rescue and likely had bad experiences with men before I got her, and she's just having a hard time relaxing enough to really get the training she needs. Highly recommend Gordon and Webster's Dog Training! More...

I initially hired Gordon on a referral from a friend, as my dog is a rescue and is generally good but can be reactive with other dogs and with certain people if I’m present. He’s a small dog so he can’t cause much harm but it’s an annoying habit I wanted to break. Gordon was able to come in and quickly identify what my dog needed to help build confidence and lessen his anxiety. Gordon has provided many tools that I work on with my dog at home, and while we still have some work to do I already see such an improvement. Plus Gordon genuinely cares about the betterment of my dog, and he’s timely, responsive, and generally great to work with. Big thank you to Webster Dog Training!! More...

Jane Keller
A true dog whisperer in your living room! The first session with Gordon, my son and I looked at each other in complete disbelief…our crazy 3 month old, 25 lb puppy was calm and obedient. He was not only listening, but seemed to want to listen. And he was definitely happier listening and following Gordon than he was prior. Gordon left us that day with the distinct impression that our pup wanted to please us, and that through daily repetition of positive reinforcement exercises, he would learn how to do that. Dog training is not magical. It requires effort from the owner to work with their dog. This felt super daunting to me, but Gordon’s simple, systematic approach has made it so much easier. Every time Gordon shows up for a session, I feel reinvigorated and inspired. Our pup is now nearing 6 months and growing into an excellent, well-behaved member of our family. Is he perfect? Absolutely not. He is a puppy. But he knows how to listen and when he chooses not to, I’ve learned the tools to handle it. And when I face a real challenge outside of the sessions, Gordon is available to answer questions and help me navigate. Gordon is an excellent trainer, which stems from being an absolute dog lover, and a lifetime of working with dogs and studying dog behavior. He strives to understand your dog to better train you both. Work with Gordon. Your pup will thank you! And so will your friends, family and neighbors! More...

Gordon is amazing! My dog Sage is a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix and desperately needed training to address reactivity and to improve her obedience. We started seeing results and a positive change in Sage after the first week! Gordon loves the dogs in his training program like his own and his gentle, patient, and uses positive reinforcement to address behavior issues. Sage is still in his program and has more to learn, but she is a much calmer dog and we are much more confident owners thanks to Gordon!

Hiring Gordon was one of the best decision I’ve made for my Mona Lisa. Mona is a Border Collie/Pit Bull mix that had extreme anxiety and fear reactivity that essentially kept us isolated from going on walks and being around people outside of our family, which makes apartment living extremely difficult. After working with Gordon for approximately 2 months I am absolutely shocked and proud of the progress we’ve made! Gordon has not only worked with Mona, but more importantly he taught ME how to read her behavior and understand her needs, giving me the tools to be a better dog owner. Mona is happier, more confident, has less anxiety, and less reactive. His direct approach is exactly what we needed! I can proudly say Mona is now able to confidently enjoy all the sights, sounds and smells as we venture out on our regular walks!

I’ve been training my dog Hiro with Gordon for over one month now and I highly recommend him. Hiro is a 5-year-old lab mix that I adopted from the shelter. Like many shelter dogs, he was never properly trained as a puppy. The biggest issue is his reactivity. He is easily distracted and pulls his leash when he sees something that he wants to chase (squirrels, dogs, bikes, trucks, etc). Gordon’s reward-based training method works very well for Hiro. Not only does Hiro look forward to his training sessions every week, he quickly learned the basic commands and is working his way through some of the more complex ones. He is getting much better on his walks too and constantly checks in with me with eye contact. I can tell from working with Gordon that on top of being an experienced trainer, he genuinely loves working with dogs and cares for them. If you are thinking about getting a trainer, give him a call. He offers free consultation, and his rate is very reasonable. More...

Gordon Webster of Websters Dog Training , came as a recommendation from a friend.
Our new 4 month Belgium Malonois, Frankie , was already quite a handful and we felt we needed professional help and quickly.
Gordon was very detailed on our first call and followed up with a great
in person consultation ( both of these were free as well..!), where he set out the training program and our place in it as owners and team players.
Everything was organized and detailed where we could daily/weekly understand what he would be working on and also know what our focus was for that week.
The entire program is 8 weeks long with two visits a week, we chose the Mon/Thu option but there’s Tue/Fri and Wed/Sat offered as well.
What sealed the deal for us was his gentle approach with Frankie, which was kind and reassuring but also firm when required.
They offer various payment options and we chose the “ week to week “ plan, where you pay at the end of each lesson - this let us spread the cost, which was great on a budget.
Frankie has already learnt ten hand commands and twenty vocal commands also.
His loose leash walking is a dream and when he has finished teething we have decided to stay with Websters Dog Training for weekly hiking and also Skate Board Training lol..!
Can’t wait - thanks G!

We are beyond grateful that we found Gordon! We had a new puppy and it had been many years since my partner or I had a puppy and we wanted to make sure we did things right with proper training to keep our wee little pup safe and happy and well behaved! I reached out to a few dog trainers and was not impressed. They either wanted some enormous sum of money up front or they wanted us to drop off our pup for weeks at a time for training at their facility. When we met up with Gordon it felt like a perfect fit. Training using positive reinforcement, at a reasonable cost with lots of notes and checklists and weekly sessions. I was at my wits end with nighttime crate training and with one conversation and some tools Gordon have us - we and the pup are getting a great night sleep now! Gordon is working with us on all the basics and our pup is a great walker now thanks to Gordon’s training - and we also have a few tricks up our sleeve from a book Gordon suggested! Honestly we could not be happier with the training we are getting from Gordon! I highly recommend Webster’s Dog Training!!! More...

We’ve been working with Webster's Dog Training, who we couldn’t recommend highly enough. Our Wheaten Terrier puppy is high energy and it’s amazing to see her transformation under Gordon.

Gordon is a high-character guy who uses positive reinforcement to train (you and) your dog. He's honest and quick-thinking. A real dog lover and problem solver who loves to tackle difficult challenges. Not only will he train your dog, he'll give you the tools to do it yourself without him.
It’s impossible to overstate how much of a positive influence he’s had on our dogs and home. He also teaches classes, but his home visits are top-notch, because he’s so smart and resourceful. Gordon is the best!

Don’t have enough good things to say about working with Gordon. A friend passed us along his number and at the time we were at a loss in trying to consistently control our GSD. Within a few weeks of working with Gordon, we have already seen great improvements in our dog and in turn, our confidence as dog owners has also increased. We value Gordon’s opinion on providing a consistent approach to training and are looking forward to continuing to work with him. More...

The phase “you Lucky Dogs” applies here! That is how we feel that we found Gordon Webster to be our Lead Dog in Dog Obedience Training.
From our first phone consultation that came the same day we reached out; Gordon was encouraging that he could help us with our rescue and stated we would need to be a team through our training journey. Gordon is caring, knowledgeable and dedicated to bring out the best in Camper and for Camper. He is a great coach and communicator to Camper and us. He navigated a household of two entrepreneurs who just adopted a shelter dog and has gone above and beyond to support all the best moves for Camper from nutrition to obedience to love.
We have been a team ever since day 1 and we are stoked to continue to have Gordon involved in Camper’s progressive learning journey. Camper just adores him waiting for his morning arrival with a window watch and tail wag. We may be equally excited. 😊

I have a 1 1/2 year old Great Dane named Walter. When I contacted Gordon, I was desperate for someone to point me in the right direction. My 140lb pup was dragging me at the end of the leash and had no manners. Within a few short weeks of working with Gordon, I had a new dog! I went from being too scared to leave my house with Walter to eating at busy cafes with him obediently waiting by my table. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of solid direction in regard to dog training! Absolutely amazing and transformative experience! More...

We've been training with Gordon for about 2 months with our rescue dog. The training has been so great for us and MJ. Gordon is very kind and patient with her and all the lessons we've learned are put into immediate use and we see immediate progress. He always has great communication and explains the reasons for different lessons. We look forward to our trainings every week. More...

Gordon was so kind and firm and really helped get our rowdy pup out of his funk. His wholistic approach took into consideration his daily routine, sleep schedule, and behavior when setting up training, allowing us to find a better lifestyle for our pup. He’s also just a joy to be around, and we always look forward to our sessions with him! Very thankful to have found Gordon. More...

Working with Gordon has been incredible. He is thoughtful, dedicated and so knowledgeable. He took the time to get to know both me and my rescue pup and customizes every session to her current needs and challenges. He is super responsive and flexible. He goes above and beyond to provide support and insight 24/7 - when I have questions or he has additional advice/info that he thinks will help. He has helped me feel like a better and more empowered dog mom and I look forward to every training session. Could not recommend him more as a trainer! More...

We hired Gordon after rescuing a puppy of 5 months. We were a little out of our depth but Gordon quickly got us on track . . Crate, pee pad and obedience training straight away and also helped us establish a schedule for Bella that was structured with progressive steps to help her grow in confidence. Loving the process..!!
