The Puppy Academy is an all-day drop-off training center for puppies. Modeled after a school, the academy offers a structured program to help shape puppies into well-mannered family members. The program aims to alleviate the stress of puppyhood for owners by providing exceptional support and training services. The 12-week program includes training puppies in 10+ basic commands and five one-on-one owner/trainer lessons. Puppies attend school three days a week, from 7am to 10am and 5pm to 7pm. During their time at The Puppy Academy, puppies learn basic hand signals, become comfortable with walking, grooming, tooth brushing, and nail cutting. Owners benefit from free online classes and weekly Q&A sessions to further support their training efforts. The academy emphasizes clear communication about the puppy's progress and provides instructional videos for independent study. Many owners report positive results, with their puppies displaying improved behavior at home and in public. The Puppy Academy is highly recommended for new puppy owners and those seeking to reinforce basic training principles.
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.

Worth every Penny! We were in over our heads with our 1st puppy (Frankie, a Whippet). Taking her to The Puppy Academy was the best decision for us! Not only did I know she would be closely watched and cared for the entire day, I could see the results in her behavior at home within a couple weeks. It's a commitment. If you put in the work outside of class and commit to their practices your pup will transform before your eyes. We were extra thankful for their owner sessions within the program, which help you become more confident in your at-home training & reinforce the work they do. When her 1st 36-ish sessions were coming to an end we asked about additional classes and to our delight they accepted her for 24 more sessions of which she (we) really benefitted. I only wish we enrolled her sooner!
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!
