Why MBK9?

​​

Real training. Real results. Real life. Marco’s program is built on one simple philosophy:
Dogs learn best when they live in a calm, structured environment with clear communication. No warehouse facilities. No rows of barking crates. Your dog stays in a real home, learning real manners.

​

  1. Personalized training plan – No cookie-cutter approach. Your dog’s program is built around its age, breed, and behavior.

  2. Calm, balanced approach – Clear rules, fair corrections, and lots of praise to build confidence and reliability.

  3. Real-world focus – Training isn’t just in a yard; your dog practices skills in everyday environments.

  4. Small number of dogs – Marco keeps his board & train numbers low so each dog gets serious one-on-one time.

  5. Local to Mid-City – Convenient drop-off and pick-up for owners in Los Angeles and surrounding areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How long is the board & train program?
    Program length depends on your dog’s needs and goals. Most dogs stay between 2–4 weeks. We’ll recommend the right option during your consultation.

  2. What behaviors can you help with?
    Leash pulling, jumping, anxiety, reactivity, ignoring commands, poor manners in the house, and more. Serious aggression cases are considered individually.

  3. Will my dog forget me while boarding?
    No. Dogs remember their people. When you pick up your dog, you’ll see excitement plus a calmer, more respectful attitude.
