School for dogs – The future Of Puppy Raising

Your puppy has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to absorb information from their environment, interactions, and experiences while their developing brain rapidly absorbs new information.

At Canine Learning Academy, we are shaping the next generation of well-behaved dogs with our innovative approach and state-of-the-art facility because the right input now determines the Successful Adult Dog of Tomorrow.

Life for Huntington Beach dogs has changed dramatically over the last five years. With dog-friendly bars, cafes, and patios, on every corner and the number one dog beach in the world on our doorstep, the standard of behavior required has risen significantly.

Dogs raised in these beach cities have higher expectations placed on them, and dog-standard training classes don’t cut it for creating the finished result you need to take full advantage of our dog inclusive life.

Your dog needs real-life skills and great learning experiences that make it easy for them to behave excellently – and that requires careful input.

We specialize in doing that skilled work for busy families that value excellent behavior and want the very best for their beloved family dog.

Let us show you the Canine Learning Academy difference in our short video

Yoanka helped us pick out our puppy, JD, five years ago. She provided initial training (potty training, manners, recall, etc.) that has served us well. She and Kurtis and other members of the CLA team continue to play important key roles in JD’s life, making her the affectionate pet she is today. Thank you, Yoanka, and Canine Learning Academy for your continued presence in JD’s life.

THRILLED to leave 5 stars for CLA...even though they are truly a 10 out of 5 star operation! We got our puppy during covid and my Mom shared that she saw a group doing FREE online puppy training classes. Thinking it was too good to be true I did my research and was so happy to learn that it was legit! They are so dedicated to ensuring that puppies have a great start in life that they offer an intro training for free. I got involved and fell in love with Yo's approach to positive reinforcement/fear free training/tactics/beliefs. After the free online classes I paid to join as a Member and years later I'm still learning from her and her team. Our pup is well behaved and I get compliments on her being so well behaved all the time when we are out in public and from friends/family. What is SO COOL is that they now have a brick and mortar training center in Huntington Beach where we can attend classes in person. It is SO fun and informative. I truly look forward to it and so does our pup. I take any chance to share with others what CLA's offers. PLUS - We recently we went on vacation with my parents who normally watch our pup when we are out of town. There was no doubt that the only person I'd trust with our fur baby was Yo and her team. Boarding our pup with her made it possible for me to truly relax while being away. Thank you Yo and team for doing what you do! I don't know what I would have done if I did not find you when I did! Looking forward to continuing our partnership for years to come!!! If you are even a little curious about CLA hit them up for their FREE consultation!

Canine Learning Academy is a fantastic, full service resource for pup parents. We’ve used most of the CLA services since our dog was 8 weeks old including board and train, puppy school, in person, online classes and home visit help prepare our space. As a result our fur baby is well trained and socialized. There’s no other place we board her when we go out of town.

Yo and the entire team at CLA are amazing! They are extremely knowledgeable, kind, caring, and loving. We have had a truly wonderful experience with our puppy. We started her with training at 4 mo. old and she is now 11 mo. old and a very well-behaved, smart, loving, and fun dog who everyone loves to be around. Even after the training we continue to have her enrolled in the daycare/enrichment program because we want her to stay in contact with everyone at CLA as well as continue socializing with the other dogs. We trust CLA 100% and could not be happier with the experience we have had. When I go to work, I know my dog is happy, safe, and loved and still continuing to learn! Thank you to everyone at CLA!!!

Canine Learning Academy has been amazing! We have a nine month old mini BerneDoodle and they have been working with him since he was a baby. I feel he gets a lot of love and individualized attention and the staff is very attentive and responsive to his needs. I love that you are able to watch your dogs during the day on their live feed and that they offer Group classes so that you can learn how to replicate all the amazing skills. The facility is very clean and organized and we have had a great experience so far. It takes a village to raise a puppy and I am glad Canine Learning Academy is part of ours.

We are so fortunate to have met Yo and found Canine Learning Academy (CLA)! When Sofia, our golden doodle, came home we quickly realized that bringing in a new puppy is super stressful. We were worried about socializing, crate training, potty training, developing a schedule, and how to set up our home. Basically, all of It! Yo and her team of experienced trainers have helped us learn how to teach Sofia important puppy skills. The puppy classes (Kindergarten 1 and 2) were awesome! We learned how to use positive reinforcement to teach Sofia important skills. We also love the all day puppy school! We can drop Sofia off for a full day of training and play, knowing she is not only safe, but she is also learning and being loved. CLA’s new incredible facility at Beach and Ellis in Huntington Beach is an awesome training center…bright, spotless, organized and, spacious! The trainers at CLA are all mirror of Yo… personable, knowledgable, approachable, and always have a smile. The CLA team work individually and together with each dog providing enrichment activities using kind and positive methods, no negative reinforcement! Thanks to Yo’s expertise and the help of her awesome team, we have a friendly, happy, socially adjusted puppy we can take anywhere. We couldn’t be happier!

My dog loves going to the new facility. It is very clean, and I am really impressed with how much my dog loved it. When I tried to take him home, he did not want to go. Everyone is very positive and friendly.

CLA has not only been a rockstar in training my Bernedoodle, Dakota but has taught me so much as well. If your looking for a dog trainer look no more. CLA is where it's at! Their dedication & commitment to your pup & family is everything I've been looking for. When you are away on vaca or wherever they keep you updated with photos, videos & a detailed report of your dogs day. I can't wait to keep watching Dakota grow in the hands of CLA.

Make puppyhood
a memorable & joyful experience.

When you first bring home a puppy, you envision a life filled with joyful moments, but the reality can be overwhelming and disheartening, with challenges like nipping, stealing, barking, and potty accidents.

We expect more from our dogs today than we ever have. We want excellent behavior. We want them to suppress ‘normal’ dog things like barking, jumping, stealing food, or growling when they don’t like something. We want them to stay home alone and tolerate our busy schedules – and that’s asking a lot!

Here at Canine Learning Academy, we love that challenge.

Our passion is teaching puppies how to navigate our world through our elite puppy training school in Huntington Beach.

We ensure puppyhood is a memorable and joyful time for your family and lays the foundation for a life of love, happiness, and, importantly, great behavior!

Happy Clients

“Yo and her team are the best!

I’m a busy mom stuck juggling kids schedules, work, and mom-life in general.

She was like the “puppy whisperer.”

She had our dog loving his crate within minutes!! He slept through the night for the first time and now that he’s almost a year, he LOVES his crate and will even go in just to hang out.

I seriously wouldn’t have survived this first year without them. He’s making great progress with his training.”

Patricia K.

“We can’t thank Yo enough for the transformation we’ve seen in our baby Hamm.

His walks with us have truly turned around, he went from pulling and tugging to walking right beside us or behind us.

We love how he understands a simple command such as “go to your bed”… we can’t wait to have Bacon start his training too!

– Alexx D.

Committed to kind, effective puppy training and behavior excellence

There are different ways to train a puppy.

Our stance on this is clear because we care deeply about your results, your puppies’ well-being, and the lifelong relationship you share – none of which we are willing to sacrifice for speed or ego.

A great relationship requires some front-loaded effort, and we don’t cut corners where ethics, kindness, and learning are at stake.

At Canine Learning Academy, we stand firm in our fierce commitment to cutting-edge, science-based, Force-Free, and Positive Reinforcement Puppy Training: no shortcuts, no threats to your puppy’s well-being, and no damage to your relationship.

Experience the difference of elite puppy training with All Day Puppy School

 

Here’s how we get our exceptional results

 

The Magic Of School Day

Every moment in your puppy’s day is a learning moment.

By carefully managing your puppy’s experiences, we can create a safe and positive place to learn, play, and grow while their little puppy brain absorbs everything around them.

Our curriculum is designed to build manners, powerful communication, exemplary behavior, and a confident demeanor because you deserve a happy, healthy, well-behaved dog you can be proud of.

Enrichment Engineering

Enrichment is fundamental to everything we do here at Canine Learning Academy.

It means deliberately creating sensory and neuro-focused stimulation, meaningful experiences, and filling your puppy’s ‘enjoyment bank’ each day.

A happy puppy enjoys life more, learns more easily… and sleeps well at night!

Confidence-Creating

We design individual activities to help your puppy feel safe in the world, learn fast, and enjoy life to the maximum. Every puppy needs tailored support in many areas.

Whether it’s correcting an experience that left them worried, introducing novelty, developing self-esteem, learning to work through frustration, or learning to ask for help when they are unsure, we’ve got them covered.

Positive Socialization

Tailored social meetings allow your puppy to learn etiquette and manners with the perfect demo dogs at the opportune time – ensuring that meeting new dogs and people is well within their skill set.

Creating confidence is just as crucial as healing social anxiety or moderating overconfidence and pushiness – ensuring your puppy develops a social vibe that other dogs enjoy, for safe social interactions and a lifetime of making friends

Let us do the specialist Puppy Training for you, and relax knowing you’ve chosen the best for your family and puppy.
