I did the 1-month boarding school with Patron K9 Academy and it was honestly one of the best decisions I've made as a dog owner. Before training, I had a lot more stress around my dog's behavior. Now he's obedient, predictable, and I can take him pretty much anywhere without worrying about how he's going to act. It's completely changed the experience of owning him--I actually get to enjoy being with him now. The results speak for themselves, and I've already recommended their program to others. If you're on the fence, it's worth it. read more

GAMECHANGER. Angel did his thing with our puppies. Highly highly recommended. He had them for about 6 weeks and their temperament really changed. They were more comfortable in public, they now have basic commands, they don't pull on the leash anymore, they understand the word "no" .... don't even hesitate ... have them trained. I have a Giant Schnauzer that is inquisitive and needed boundaries and a Cane Corso that doesn't know his size. Angel did a really good job. Also, he picks them up and houses them if ever were out of town. Oh and btw, he sends you these videos from his glasses showing their progress (it's so cool watching them learn and grow and be happy). His IG is: patronk9academy. Keep up the good work Angel . read more

We had an amazing experience with Angel at K9 Patron! We enrolled our 6-month-old lab puppy in the two-week board and train program, and the results exceeded our expectations. Our puppy came home confidently knowing "spot aka place," sit, down, come, and walking on leash in heel. One thing we really appreciated was the one-hour training session at pickup, where Angel walked us through everything our dog had learned so we felt confident continuing the training at home. Throughout the entire process, Angel was professional, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he works with. He even sent video updates without us having to ask, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were apart. We're already planning to book another session and can't recommend Angel and K9 Patron enough! read more

Did an excellent job training my dog Loki. His behavior has gotten a lot better. My dog responds very well to the commands he was taught.

Great experience with Patron K9. They picked up our 10 month old golden doodle and for the 2 week board and train. Our whole family has noticed the difference in him. Thank you for the training. read more

If you are feeling hesitant to bring your dog to Patron K9 because you think your dog can't change and you are worried about "wasting" your money. STOP, because you are absolutely wrong and I wish I had someone tell me to take my dog to Patron k9 sooner! Angel and his team did such a great job with my dog Cochi. The first day I got him back after board and train I could instantly see a difference in him! I am also so thankful that they were also able to guide me in my handling with him. I will definitely be back and am so thankful! read more

The team at Patron K9 Academy is simply the best. What sets them apart is their genuine passion for what they do and their incredible patience, both with the dogs and the owners! I worked directly with Angel and he was fantastic. Laura is behind the scenes but they are a dynamic duo. They took the time to understand my dog's unique personality and my specific concerns. Thanks to their guidance, my dog (Pepper) is now calm around other dogs and a pleasure to have guests over. This is more than just dog training; it's a mentorship for pet owners. Going forward is the only place I will send Pepper!!!! read more

They are absolutely amazing! We have taken our little dude Gambit there twice now for training and boarding, and they truly take care of your fur baby! I love the communication through the videos about his progress and their feedback when we get him back. They really go above and beyond throughout the whole process I will always use them in the future. Thank you so much, guys! read more

Angel/Patron K9 Academy took care of and trained our dog with the utmost care and competence. Communication was great and helpful. It feels very good to know that our dog was in great hands. I would highly recommend enlisting their help/services read more

We boarded our 1yr old fem. Cane Corso with Angel and Hugo at Patron K9. This was our first time boarding her. Our Corso pup (Lilo) is hit-or-miss regarding being approachable and aggression. Angel greeted us, established a friendly connection with her all within the first 20 minutes of the handout. They were able to care for her for a week. This was the BEST experience, truly a blessing. The value for the money will be tough to beat. The living conditions were better than my own home AND Lilo came home better than we dropped her off!! They have a very excellent knowledge of the dogs and can read their body language and also cater the living conditions and interactions based on the dog. We will be referring EVERYONE we know here. They regularly give updates and videos updates on Instagram. If you care for your Puppies as we do, then you will want the peace of mind of leaving your doggo with them. Thank you guys. read more

Would give more than 5 stars if I could. I honestly can't say enough good things about Patron K9 Academy. Angel was very responsive throughout the entire board and train process and sent us several videos explaining the reasoning behind what he was doing. We did a 4 week program and the results are mind blowing. We just got our pup today and he came back a completely different dog.... Able to walk without a leash and recall on command. What we also loved is that our pup was also able to interact and play with other dogs throughout the process and we were happy to see how happy he was while we were away. We went on a Christmas/New Year vacation and the amount of regular boarding vs the amount we spent with Patron training wasn't even a huge difference and 10000% worth it. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have a confident, obedient dog. I know we'll have to continue the training to make sure it sticks but they gave us an incredible baseline to start with. What I love is he said they will continue to help us with our journey if we have any questions. I will be forever grateful to them for taking care of my fur baby and the great effort they put into training him. Would definitely use their services again. read more

I recently completed a 2-week board and train at PatronK9 Academy with my wild little guy, and the results were amazing! Though I was nervous dropping him off for the first time, Laura and Angel took incredible care of him. He came back completely transformed - listening so much better, with great impulse control, and now loves his crate. Laura and Angel's expertise really shows, and I'd highly recommend their program to anyone wanting to help their dog reach their full potential! read more

They are simply awesome and incredibly hospitable for your pet sitting needs. Highly recommend.

5 Stars We truly love Patron K9 Academy! Any time we go out of town, we send our dog Jade there to board--and it's the only place we fully trust. Jade is a high-energy, strong-willed pup, and not the easiest for just anyone to handle. But the team at Patron truly loves her and treats her like family. She always comes back happy, well-exercised, and clearly had a blast. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she's in such capable, caring hands. Can't recommend them enough! read more

The whole team went above and beyond with accommodating our pet Rex. He stayed with them for about a month and we were consistently given update photos and videos. Even after he was brought back home they were attentive to any questions and problems we had. Couldn't recommend this place more and will definitely be bringing Rex back here. read more

Fantastic service! They take such good care of our pup! We always get some videos of him playing and running around looking so happy. We had Pixel trained with him for the 4 weeks program back in October and were very happy with the results. We went away for a week this May and had them board him and he came back so happy and healthy. We will for sure come back read more

We did the 4 week board and train for Memphis with Angel & his team. We were hesitate and very worry in the beginning due to losing a pup from parvo from another board & train. After talking to Angel & Laura, I felt a bit more at eased. Memphis started at 5 months and came back looking so grown up and mature with what he picked up with Angel. We couldn't be more happy and at eased with Angel & his team. We continued to use them for boarding when we're on vacation or having to travel for work. Memphis also loves Angel, you can see the excitement when he comes pick him up. Seriously hands down the best trainer and board in LA. The best decision we've made. Thank you so much guys. read more

Our Sheepadoodle, Bosa has been working with Angel since he was a pup. We did the one month train and board. The training totally transformed his behavior. We continued to do weekly board and trains every weekend and Bosa was not only able to keep up with his training but socialize with other pups as well. Video updates were given with verbal explanations of skills that he was learning after every visit. I would save those videos to look back on to continue his training at home. Angel and Laura are always quick to help and answer any questions we have. They are the only people we trust to take care of our pup when we are out of town. As a 2 year old pup now, Bosa can walk off-leash with great re-call and gets so many compliments about his calm and relaxed demeanor when out and at home. We recommend Patron K9 Academy to everyone we meet. They have become family to us and we will continue working with them for the foreseeable future. read more

I was hesitant at first but reading the comments and saw the videos and their Instagram post I was Convinced. My dog Pug Philip was picked up by Angel at home. Angel explained to me their program and asked my goals for Philip. By talking to him I was confident that Philip is in good hands. I was sent videos of Philip everyday. By the videos I can see how Philip is improving everyday. After 2 weeks Philip was dropped of and Angel gave us a quick instructions for Philip. read more

My goldendoodle, Fig, was enrolled in a 2 week board and train program at Patron K-9, and I am beyond impressed with the results. Angel, Laura and their staff were easy to communicate with and clearly passionate dogs and their work. Fig learned an incredible number of commands during his stay, including sit, stay, heel, come, and even more advanced tricks like staying on his "spot" and waiting patiently until released. On top of commands, Fig learned how to be less anxious and patience. Laura provided detailed updates on my dog's progress, including videos and written summaries, which made me feel involved and informed every step of the way. What truly sets Patron K-9 Academy apart is their personalized approach. They took the time to understand my wants and Fig's unique needs and tailored the training accordingly. I loved that they did backyard and around the neighborhood training and also took him out to parks and shops for practice and growth. Angel also equipped me with the tools and knowledge to reinforce the training at home, ensuring long-term success. Even to this day, I can throw a ball for Fig to chase and give him a recall and Fig will return without retrieving the ball. I highly recommend Patron K-9 Academy to anyone looking for top-notch training for their dog. Their expertise, dedication, and genuine love for animals are evident in everything they do. We couldn't be happier with the results! read more

If I could give patron k9 academy 10 stars I would do it a hundred times over. I have been sending my dogs to angel and Laura since they were puppies, they are the ONLY people I can trust with my dogs. Angel and Laura give me peace of mind that my pups will be loved and taken care of everytime I board with them. The love and patience they have for my Australian cattle dog (who can be a bit of a nutcase) leaves me feeling at ease. Not only are they the best, but they send videos and updates on how your pups are doing which gives a sense of relief to know that they are doing well. I will never not choose to service with them because they truly are the best there is! I will recommend them to anyone who needs boarding/training ALWAYS!! 1,000 stars all around !!!! read more

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! We recently boarded our 2 yr old Rottie with PK9A. After several calls to other boarding facilities and no accommodations, we stumbled upon PK9A. Totally, hit the jackpot. They accepted my dog who has social issues with other dogs and humans without hesitation. If you know Rotties, they are very protective. Angel came to the house, picked up my dog (without issue) and transported him to his home. We received two daily updates; morning feeding and an evening feeding with video. Angel and Laura narrated their experience with my dog and described how my dog was adapting to the environment. First class operation from start to finish. Can't say enough about my experience. Highly recommended! read more

Look elsewhere. Recently paid $2500 for board & training of our border collie puppy. Over the course of the month, we were hopeful to see our puppy's progress. To our dismay, upon returning home, our puppy did not show any behavioral improvement. She continued to pee in the home, did not obey any learned commands, appeared to even demonstrate more anxiety over the first few weeks home (barking incessantly, playing rough, continuing to dig in the yard). I hate to give anything other than positive reviews, especially to small businesses like Patron K9 academy that aim to provide a valuable service for our furry canine community. Whatever the reason, this is unacceptable, and by all means, a very expensive setback and loss for our dog. read more

Angel and Laura are amazing. Our Zoe (rotti) can be a handful for our family to watch so we looked for training and boarding. Zoe did the 2 week program during our vacation and her leash manners drastically improved. We have used Patron K9 Academy for board services since that first vacation and have even noticed Zoe gets excited when Angel comes to pick her up. It's nice knowing we have a safe place we can leave her during our vacations where the owners really care about her. read more

This review is long overdue. We first sent our doodle for basic training when he was around 4-5 months. Right in the middle of the heavy puppy biting stage (sorry guys). After only 2 weeks, our puppy was so much more well-behaved. We were so impressed with the results that we sent him back to Patron K9 for off-leash training when our pup was a year old. We can now walk him off leash, rely on his recall, and not have to worry about chasing him down. Our Bowie is like a celebrity when we are out in public drawing attention, and knowing that he is well mannered gives us peace of mind. My family and I are grateful to have met the team at Patron K9. We 100% recommend them to everyone and anyone. read more

Patron K9 Academy is forever our new home-away-from-home for the DOODs! We've had many dogs over the years and many boarding experiences in the IE. NOTHING tops Patron K9 Academy. I highly recommend! 5/5 5/5 5/5!! We were so nervous to board our two 6mo double doodles, especially boarding somewhere unfamiliar to us as parents/owners. First time for the doods to leave our home for a day or overnight EVER and with a place again we were not familiar with. Enter Laura and Angel & Patron of K9 Academy. PURE LOVE, attention to details & very professional. Incredibly informative, professional and accommodating in so many unexpected ways. Not only did they provide a clear picture of what the doods experiences would be during their stay, they answered allllll my nervous mom questions, before, during and after. We received videos and photos during their stay which was a delight to see how happy and active they were with Angel and Laura & other critters their age. We are planning to return for future boarding of course. Now we're looking forward to Patron K9 Academy training our doods as well! 5/5 5/5 5/5! read more

We are grateful that through a friend referral we found Laura and Angel. Our dog Opie has completed their 2week training course and has also boarded with them while we are on vacation. He always returns happy and more disciplined. It can be really stressful to find someone to trust with your pets and we feel at peace knowing our beloved Opie is in good hands with them. Laura is amazing, she keeps us updated and sends us pictures and videos. We truly appreciate them and beyond thankful we found them. I highly recommend this place to all my friends and family. read more

Incredible experience at Patron K9 Academy! Nugget has been training with Angel ,and Laura since he was a puppy. We are extremely grateful towards Angel ,and Laura for the time they have spent with Nugget.

With the help of Patron K9 Academy we are able to take Nugget everywhere with no problem! Our family is now always complete thanks to Patron K9 Academy. I highly recommend them. They are so willing to help, and always welcome Nugget with open arms. Give them a try I know you, and your furry friend will love them as much as we do! read more

We had and continue to have the best experience with both Laura and Angel. We have a Jack Russell that was definitely a "wild one" he needed so much help with confidence and his manners. We had our dog, Whiskey, do the 4 week board and train and when he came home he was like he was a new dog. They kept us up to date on his progress and training by sending video's regularly, which made us feel so at ease. He is much more confident and actually listens to us when we give him commands! It was like night and day. Angel and Laura also set us up with the knowledge to keep whiskeys training going showing us how to continue working with him when he came home. They have answered any questions that have come up too, so thats so refreshing to know that we can seek their advice if we have any questions or concerns. And even now when we have to leave town we send him back to Angel and Laura to board because we know that he is so well taken care of. They really make you feel so at ease and the have an enormous amount of affection for the pups they train, they really become like their family too. read more

We sent our Rottweiler to Patron K9 Academy's 2 week board and train a couple of years ago and have also used their boarding program. We have been very happy with their services. Our dog Luka is reactive towards other dogs and when we last boarded Luka, we identified that issue with Laura and Angel. They worked with him during his stay and sent us videos of his progress, which was good. They are always willing to meet up at our local park and help us fine tune any issues we are seeing (Rottweiler stubbornness). I highly recommend Angel and Laura. read more

If you are looking for a dog training program that far exceeds all others look no further. I enrolled Dallas my 13 week old Great Dane with Patron K9 Academy and couldn't be any more pleased and fulfilled with the care and training he received. Laura and Angel treat your dog like family!

I wish I could give this business 10 stars. I recently had my 10 year old German shepherd boarded here while my family was away. I was initially a bit nervous as my pup has become anxious in recent years and this was her first time being boarded but the owners/trainers quickly put me and my husband at ease as they took time to understand my girl and provide us with information and reassurance in regard to her stay there. We also received daily videos that included commentary on how our pup was doing as well as some helpful tips in regard to training and behavior. My family will definitely use this business again for any future training and/or boarding needs. read more

Laura and Angel did a great job with my black pug.

When deciding to send my dog to a board and train facility I wanted to ensure that my beloved pet would be cared for and treated as I would here at home. I stumbled across Patron K9 Academy on Instagram and reached out to Angel and Laura. They were very helpful and informative and listened to my goals for my 8-month-old Rottweiler, Diesel. We decided to send our dog to the 2-week board and train, and were pleased to receive frequent updates, photos, and videos during his stay. After his return we were so delighted to see how much he had learned during his stay. They helped us build a foundation and we were able to work and grow his obedience because of it. I believe that we couldn't have done this without the help of Patron K9! read more

The experience I had with this academy was WAY beyond my expectations. I was very scared to leave my puppy for the first time. We have never had to board a dog before, so it was difficult. I had many questions and they were answered without making me feel sad about leaving him. The pickup/drop off was so incredibly helpful when having to leave on a trip. I received DAILY videos of my puppy, as well as the most detailed descriptions of why they were doing what they were doing in the videos (walking/interactions between other dogs, etc). I will be recommending them to ALL of my family/friends that need to have a dog boarded. I will also be using them in the future for ANY boarding needs! Thank you Patron K9 Academy for treating my puppy with the most caring hands. I can't thank you enough! read more

Our pups just got home from a 2 week board and train program and they are so much more well behaved! We could never have provided the needed training on our own, and we are so glad we will be able to take them fun places and all enjoy ourselves so much more!

I 100% recommend Patron K9 Academy to anyone looking for training for their pups! read more
