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.

There are so many amazing qualities of The Puppy Academy! Every single person that works there is so kind and patient. They make puppyhood easier! With COVID the school had to close down and then there was a reduced schedule, they met everyone informed and I never had to guess what was going on. They were flexible and very understanding during COVID as well. They set up individual plans, give “homework” to the parents, and keep a grade book along the way. The grade book is amazing because they give you daily feedback and you can also tell them any struggles you are having. My puppy started when she was just 12 weeks old (the youngest they will accept) & because of COVID graduated at 8 months. She learned so much!! Her walks have gotten so much better. They also work on impulse control, which is hard for puppies. I wouldn’t say my 8 month old puppy is completely oblivious to distractions, but much better and I know how to work with her on it. Everyday that your puppy is there they take photos and videos!! Which is fun to see how much they grow over time. They literally think of every detail. Again, the team there is amazing! Rebecca was my puppy’s favorite trainer! She is a rockstar! But they are all incredible! I definitely recommend The Puppy Academy!
We love this place. We took our dog here and the whole family and we followed their instructions. We keep the schedule they recommended and the dog was well trained in a very positive way. Strongly recommend anyone getting a dog to go
Amazing training school for your pups!!! Highly recommended!!! :)
