FirstBarkWe have had two pups go through the program with great results. The trainers are friendly and do not release your dog at the end of the day until they answer all your questions. Puppyhood is hard and we are glad they are around to help. We will miss the academy as we have finished grad school with them. Great experience. Thank you.

Is there a Puppy Academy in the SanFernando Valley and do you take older dogs?
Hi Linda, thank you so much for your question. Our school enrolls puppies 9 months and younger. Unfortunately we currently do not have a location in the San Fernando Valley.

We love Puppy Academy! We quickly realized we needed as much training as Moose did! They’ve taught us so much about dog behavior and how to help him behave at home. We’ve seen such a difference in his manners and confidence. Worth every penny—I highly recommend them!
We're so impressed by and grateful for The Puppy Academy! Both the Puppy Academy and the Social Club have truly professional and experienced team members. They're excellent trainers who truly care about our dog and their front-office team is extremely flexible, proactive, and excellent communicators. Highly recommend the Puppy Academy to anyone looking for fantastic support for their pooch!

Truly the best experience putting our puppy in TPA. He loved it and we could tell how much the trainers loved him. The daily social posts make it so fun to follow along and they really make each step of the training process so special. We received a detailed rundown of the training and progress every day at pick up and it’s so clear what a change this training made in our puppy. Literally all of our friends and family tell us how well behaved he is - we’re so grateful! Will have every future puppy of mine do this program!!

The Puppy Academy in Hermosa Beach has been crucial in my family’s journey in raising a puppy. We have a Doberman Pinscher puppy who started at the Puppy Academy around almost 3 months old. They built a structured routine for our puppy which set the perfect foundation for good habits and positive behavior. Our puppy learned many things from commands such as sit, stay, proper walking, come here, lay down, place, house. I think the most important thing built though was the potty training and the socialization provided. Puppies NEED early socialization to develop into confident and friendly dogs. We have happy to see our puppy grow (and still growing) into a friendly, brave “teenager” puppy. Friendly play style! A Doberman is a high energy and demanding dog breed. Normally I would train our puppy fully on my own as I did with prior Dobermans I had in the past, but due to demanding work hours and obligations, I am so grateful for the opportunity The Puppy Academy provided during these critical socialization and learning periods. They train and interact with the puppy all day until I pick him up after work. Then I can continue with following their training methods throughout our time at home and on the weekends. It made it so easy! I wish I had the Puppy Academy all along for my prior dogs too. I’m impressed with the friendly staff and how well they did with our puppy! Even though our puppy has completed the program and graduated, we have still seen ease with the teenager/adolescent phase and training on our own again because of all the Puppy Academy set up for us. Thank you!!
