DOG PPL

I wanted to join this place when it first opened but I was skeptical about my letting my dogs near OTHER peoples dogs considering how much I’ve spent on training mine and how little others can put into theirs .. however during their temperament test here I realized most of the owners are watching their dogs, the staff was quick at stopping any dog who might be misbehaving. We joined and my 3 love coming here. I’ve brought guests with me who also enjoy it. The coffee is great, the food has been delicious and my dogs get time to run around. They only play as a pack but they do recognize other poodles! The price point for 3 large dogs isn’t too expensive for me, the place is clean, and so far we’re enjoying it.

I love coming here with my dog. The Ruff-errees help us feel safe and comfortable. The wine is good. The food options are okay - there is definite room for a bonus. If they make changes in the future, I hope they add in some self-service dog wash stations.

It’s unfortunate this place was great at the start but took a turn for the worst this past year. The handlers’s don’t really approach the dogs to try to stop nipping or biting or humping in time. Too busy chatting with each other. Or watching it but not stopping it fast enough. Grounds smell like urine. They don’t enforce members to clean up after the poop. The small dog area rarely even have a handler. Raised fees for less benefits. Close down the bar on this small dog side. Way overcrowded on the large dog side for not enough handlers to watch

UPDATE: We were members at Dog PPL for nearly 2 years, and while we started out loving it, our experience over time shifted and we are no longer members. At first, it felt like the perfect spot—safe, fun, and filled with a great community for both dogs and humans. But over time, the park evolved into a social club for Influencers + people more than a dog-focused space. The staff turnover was high, and where there used to be multiple rufferees in training (many of them trainers and vet techs), it seemed like fewer and fewer new staff are actually trained in dog behavior and safety. Dog PPL was an awesome chapter, but I am disappointed in how leadership handled membership changes, despite a promise of continued communication. For us—and our rescue—it no longer felt like the right fit. -- 2024: We've been members at Dog PPL for 9 months—and it has become a second home.The park is clean, safe, fun, and has an amazing community — humans and otherwise. Our dog (a rescue/shelter pup with anxiety) absolutely loves it and looks forward to it every day. I bring her 5-6 times a week while I'm working, on the weekends to read, etc. It is an AMAZING place to socialize your dog—and to socialize *with* your dog. Like some, we were skeptical of the price at first (since we took her to the public park 4-6 times a week). Fast-forward 9 months: We wish we had found this community sooner. The PPL (staff, rufferees (!) , front desk, founders, community) are wonderful. They're accommodating, eager to hear suggestions, and prioritize the pups' experience and safety above all else. I recommend Dog PPL if you have a trained dog, work from home, want to meet like-minded people, and/or give your pup a place to socialize while you relax or answer emails. -- Full Disclosure: I received a free drink in exchange for writing this review originally, but it did not have an impact on my sentiment.

The BEST dog park in LA! Safe, clean and SO fun for dogs & owners! Getting a membership at dogppl is the best money we've ever spent. My dog never gets tired of coming here and while he plays - I can post up at a table and do work or enjoy a coffee or cocktail from the bar. All the referees are awesome and truly love dogs. Thank you dogppl!
