At LARPBO we train and walk with all breeds.

Los Angeles Responsible Pit Bull Owners (LARPBO) is a non-profit organization committed to promoting responsible pit bull ownership and advocacy in the greater Los Angeles area. Through affordable training classes, socialization activities, and community outreach, we aim to foster healthier, more balanced relationships between dogs and their owners. We advocate for a positive image of all "bully breeds," and we strive to prevent surrenders to shelters, offering training as a viable alternative. Our mission includes educating the public about responsible pit bull ownership, challenging stereotypes, and dispelling misconceptions about these loyal, loving, and intelligent dogs. While LARPBO advocates for “bully breeds”, we are open to all breeds and training levels, meeting members where they are without judgment. We also focus on building a supportive community and providing tools for effective dog training to ensure that owners and their pets can thrive together. Through obedience training, socialization, and positive interaction, we demonstrate the true nature of bully breeds as wonderful family pets deserving of fulfilling lives.

We offer Free Training to current fosters and recent adopters of Los Angeles Animal Services.
