Testimonials
“I joined Thank Dog Boot Camp when it started. It has been the best decision I have made in a long time. I have owned many dogs in the past but everyone tells me that my present dog Shayne is the best behaved dog ever. I have Thank Dog Boot Camp to excuse the expression “Thank” for that. The workouts are great for me as well. I have lost inches and gained strength and better condition. It’s so nice to be able to work out outdoors with people who are so great to be around. Jamie and Jill make the sessions enjoyable, as much as work outs can be. Thank you all for starting this, Shayne and I look forward to working with you for a long time.”
-Bonnie Gottlieb; Owner of Shayne
“Thanks so much for kick-starting our work-out regime! Prior to finding Thank Dog Boot Camp, I was recovering from injuries sustained from another renowned Boot Camp in LA, my husband was a couch potato and our 5 month old puppy was driving us nuts! When my husband and I came aboard, we were both a little nervous – as he hadn’t worked out in a long time and I was coming off a bad experience, but after 5 minutes, we knew we were in great hands and so was Francesca! Jill is amazing at being able to modify the exercises to fit my abilities without sacrificing the work-out and she pushes my husband just to the point which his body could handle. And Francesca has taken to Jamie’s training like a fish to water! No more chasing her around the house! “Down and stay” have never made us happier! Not only have they made us more active and fit, but we have definitely seen a difference in the way our clothes fit…so I know we’re on the right path with the right team!
We also participate in the “Share a Dog Program” because we only have one dog and you need a dog to do the Boot Camp. I have had the pleasure of working out with another dog, Rosie, which is fun for me because I get to experience the pleasure of another dog and still learn the commands for when I am home with Francesca.”

“The entire program is amazingly unique and exclusive – you can not get this kind of combined exercise anywhere else in LA! It saves on gym memberships and daycare for your dogs and doing this routine 5 days a week is a truly great way to start the day as a family! Anyone who has a dog and wants to get in shape should join this program…you won’t be sorry and your dog will give you BIG kisses as a thank you for making learning FUN!!!”
-Gina Turley; Owner of Riley
“I've been attending Thank Dog Bootcamp with my dog Logan (a 5-year-old, 3-legged chihuahua/terrier mix) for several months and it has been great! Logan is a rescue dog and he came from a puppy mill, so he had absolutely no training when we started. Thank Dog has been a lifesaver! He initially had problems with some leash aggression and dominant behavior, but the obedience training has completely turned that around both during bootcamp and when we're just at home or on a walk. I don't know what I would have done without Jamie! She is able to maintain a delicate balance between structure and discipline with the dogs while still expressing a loving, caring attitude. Plus, I get a great workout and some real bonding time with Logan before I go to work. He loves having our time together in the morning and is so exhausted he just sleeps all day! The flexibility of the program, with the equal emphasis on the workout and dog training during the sessions is perfect for us! We love Thank Dog!”
-Laura B. Allen; Owner of Logan
“Before Bootcamp my dog was exhibiting on leash aggression problems. I was really at the end of my rope about what to do. Thank Dog Bootcamp saved us! My dog has made amazing progress and even more so, I have made amazing progress. Bootcamp gives you tools and helps you be comfortable using them. I feel stronger emotionally and physically and my dog is getting a mental and physical workout as well. We can't say enough how much we love Bootcamp!! “
-Nina McDermott; Owner of Ridley
“This personal fitness and dog training program is honestly the best gift I've ever gotten. It's a great start to my day and my dog has learned invaluable obedience skills. It is everything I wasn't getting from my old routine...this is motivating, stimulating, challenging, but also fun! You MUST do this for yourself!!”
-Josie Perrone; Owner of Sluggo
“This program is honestly the best of both worlds. I was looking for something that could help me reach my fitness goals but also be keep me motivated. What makes this program even better is your dog is also there exercising and learning obedience skills, all under experienced trainers. And the classes are great! The variety of cardio and weight training makes the hour fly by every morning. Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of hard work. I am pushed harder than I would ever push myself working out alone. On average, I burn about 700-900 calories a day. I'm now eating and sleeping better. Since my wife and I go every morning and our dog of course picks her over me to workout with, I'm a loyal fan of the "Borrow a dog" program.”
