Jax's School for Dogs
Dog Training & Behavior
Professional dog trainer for over 10 years (oof) in Woodland Hills who specializes in canine behavior and obedience. We operate utilizing science based dog training; breed specifics; pack theory; marker training; and all this with an emphasis on the wellbeing of both the canine and human components involved. If you're dealing with aggression or intense behaviors reach out and let us know.
Our Approach
We utilize the Four Quadrants of Operant Conditioning while combining it with the: needs of the specific breed, the specific dogs as an individual, humane dynamics of pack based communication, and the family's skill levels and physical abilities. I do not expect you guys to handle the dog like a Schutzhund decoy born and raised in Mississippi, lol, I will meet you and the dog both half way to make it as easy and fair and understandable.
Conscious Dog Training
Originally established in 2015 as LoFi Dog Training we have evolved as our personal dogs and abilities and philosophies grow and evolve.
We are now Jax's School for Dogs -- under the For Dog's Company brand owned and operated by Allen Giovanni.
We work with several local vets as well as with several rescues across the country in which we rehabilitate and train and assist with the placement of rescue dogs and foster dogs alike (and sometimes cats lol)
Humane & Consistent
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to dog training—and there shouldn’t be. At Jax's School for Dogs, we draw from a wide range of proven methods, from force-free, positive reinforcement to science-based marker training rooted in both operant and classical conditioning. Every dog is different, and every human is too—our goal is to discover the approach that works best for both of you. Our focus is simple: clear communication. By understanding your dog’s unique personality and needs, we create a system that is consistent, compassionate, and effective. Consistency turns understanding into lasting results, building trust and confidence for both you and your dog. No pressure—just thoughtful guidance, steady leadership, and a partnership grounded in trust, reward, and respect.
Reliable
Dogs aren’t machines—and training isn’t a reset button. Behavior challenges like reactivity, fear, or aggression, along with genetics shaped over generations, are real factors. They don’t disappear overnight—but with the right approach, they can be understood, managed, and improved in meaningful, lasting ways. At Jax's School for Dogs, we guide every client to results they feel confident and happy with. But lasting change doesn’t end with a session—it requires consistency at home. Daily structure, walks, and continued reinforcement all play a role—and that’s a good thing. This isn’t magic. It’s training. And dogs don’t need perfection—they need a lifestyle where they can thrive. Our job as owners is to give them exactly that.
Our Services
At LoFi Dog Training, we offer a range of services designed to help dogs and their owners thrive together. From basic obedience to advanced behavior modification and Board & Train programs, each service is tailored to your dog’s unique personality and needs. Using compassionate, science-based methods, we focus on building trust, promoting consistency, and achieving lasting results—so every dog can grow confident, happy, and well-adjusted while strengthening the bond with their human family.

Reviews for Days
Miranda M.
This has been a long over due review. Thanks to Allen my house has built up our confidence and knowledge about owning a cane corso breed. Bruce was a 4 month old pup when we started and it's been a great experience for the whole family. He definitely loves his job and it shows in his dedication. You won't regret hiring him.

Allen was great! Not only did my 6 month old Great Pyr get taught a good foundation but most importantly I became a better trainer for her. He knows how to speak dog and was a great teacher. Thanks again.
Kamran R.
Allen and his staff were amazing with our puppy. He has learned a lot and is on his way to being the best puppy. They would send us many videos throughout the board and train and make us feel comfortable through out the process
