The Puppy Academy

"Wonderful spot to set your puppy up for a solid training foundation. The staff is very nice and knowledgeable and they clearly communicate the progression of your puppy. They also provide a ton of instructional videos if you wish to do some independent studying, which I highly recommend. My puppy comes home very tired from a day at school!"

"Puppy training in Hermosa Beach has blessed families and pets with education. This most essential time to go beyond the adorable puppy moments for completing a happy,safe and memorable future. I met a graduate dog and was so impressed watching his work with his owner that I had to share this local news."

"Was looking forward to bringing my 8 month old pup here. One of my friends suggested for me to check this place out. It was a great experience for my friend so I thought I would give it a shot. I thought it’d be a perfect fit for my pup since he is super friendly and loves meeting new people and pets. And when I say pets, he loves rabbits, cats, and dogs. My pup has had many interactions with many animals. However, after my pups evaluation my pup was rejected. They said that they couldn’t take him in because he had signs of territorial/aggression in the crate. I have never had nor seen this happen so I find it kind of ridiculous that they’re assuming this, just because he lunged in the crate. I feel like the evaluation was not fair and not thorough enough. The trainer had the audacity, to give me his card for private lessons. He suggested that my pup would do better in private. Like it’s sad like you’re supposed to be a training service and help young pups out. But you obviously just didn’t give my pet a chance especially, since he’s in a new environment. Also, please note that the puppy Academy, doesn’t ask for rabies when you first bring ur pup in for the evaluation.So that was a big red flag for coming in for an evaluation. Def not worth 5K bringing your pet here."

"I WHOLE-HEARTEDLY RECOMMEND THE PUPPY ACADEMY to EVERY HUMAN who has a PUPPY!!!! Three months ago I came home with two 7-week-old lab siblings and felt completely exhausted, defeated and overwhelmed by puppies and had no idea where to start. We quickly realized we needed guidance, support and relief. That's when I reached out to The Puppy Academy and after speaking with Sparky, meeting with one of the fabulous trainer's for a tour and chatting with Kimberly I just knew this place was special and got on the waiting list right away!!! The all encompassing program is so well thought out and customizable to your needs. The team/ staff have truly poured their love and energy into our puppies, held our hands every step of the way, problem solved our endless questions, gave us our life back and gave us such a great schedule for both my human family and our puppies to be set up for success. They instilled such a strong foundation, with everything from potty training, crate training, manners, obedience and combatting littermate syndrome (if you're not familiar look it up - I promise you it’s a real thing - and if you’re thinking of getting two at once - I highly recommend you don’t) aka surviving two puppies. The dedication, thoughtfulness and care each team member has shown our family will forever have a special place in my heart. THANK YOU PUPPY ACADEMY from the bottom of my heart!!!! Moose and Lily thank you tooooo!!!! P.S. The only word of warning I'll give, is you'll get out of it what YOU put into it (like anything in life)! But, if you trust the process, remain open minded, ask all the questions, try your best to follow their expertise and most importantly be patient with yourself and your puppy... you will have truly a super star puppy!!! I can proudly say I have 2 SUPERSTAR PUPPIES because of The Puppy Academy!!! Stay positive and do your homework... trust me it's worth every bit of your energy and every penny. And tell your friends!!"

"Want help with your puppy jumping on people, not listening to you, having accidents in the house and walking on a leash? Then The Puppy Academy is the best place for training you and your puppy. After one month of our Bernedoodle attending The Puppy Academy, we are able to walk him without him pulling us down the street and the accidents are no more. I can’t say enough about the support the staff gives the owners. They really care about the pups and their families."
