Are you struggling with your dog's behavior? Our Board and Train program in Los Angeles offers a simple solution for pet parents who need professional help with their dog's behavior. Whether you're dealing with leash pulling, constant barking, or separation anxiety, our certified trainers provide the intensive training your dog needs to become a well-behaved member of your family.
Your dog moves in with our most experienced trainers for 2, 3, or 4 weeks of immersive, structured training. Two to three sessions a day, real-world public-space exposure, and a curriculum built around your specific goals, not a one-size-fits-all package. Most clients come to us for one of three reasons: foundational manners failed at home, a reactive or aggressive dog needs serious behavior modification, or a rescue with unknown history needs a full reset. We handle all three. Before pickup, we run handler-transfer sessions with you so the work transfers cleanly to your home. Lifetime alumni support included.
If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place. We work with Los Angeles dogs and families on:
No upsells, no surprise fees, here's exactly what every board and train client at Pawcific Dog Academy Los Angeles gets:
Most trainers won't tell you what happens during a 3-week board and train. We will. Here is the actual day-by-day.
Your dog moves in, settles into our environment, and gets fully evaluated. We identify exactly where the gaps are, leash work, recall, impulse control, reactivity triggers, so the training plan is built around your dog, not a generic template.
Daily structured sessions to build the core behaviors: place, heel, sit, down, come. We layer in correct e-collar conditioning when appropriate and start proofing each behavior across multiple rooms, surfaces, and times of day.
Training moves outside. Parks, sidewalks, distractions, other dogs. This is where the behaviors get tested against the chaos your dog will actually live in, exactly the environments most competitors avoid.
Your dog comes home and we do go-home sessions where YOU learn to handle them. Private lessons in your environment, hand off the system, make sure everything sticks. Lifetime alumni support continues from there.
Programs run 2 to 4 weeks depending on the case. Mild puppy or manners work fits the 2-week. Serious behavior modification, aggression, reactivity, severe separation anxiety, typically needs the full 4-week with handler transfer sessions before pickup. We work with the dogs other LA trainers turn down and rebuild them into household-safe family members.
Choosing the right dog trainer in Los Angeles matters more here than almost anywhere else. LA dogs deal with crowded sidewalks, off-leash dog parks, dog-friendly Silver Lake patios, busy farmers markets, and the noise of city life. Pawcific Dog Academy specializes in real-world LA training, reactive dog work, leash aggression rehabilitation, off-leash reliability on Griffith Park trails, and loose-leash walking through West Hollywood streets where every block brings new distractions.
We back every Los Angeles training program with two commitments. Your relationship with our trainers doesn't end when the program concludes, life in LA changes fast, and we're built for that.
Moved to a new LA neighborhood, started a new work schedule, or your dog's behavior shifted? Reach out any time. No retainer, no extra charge.
Complete the program as prescribed and you'll see meaningful behavior change. If not, we'll keep working with you and your dog until you do.
