Marvel K9 trained and boarded my sister's dog and he was the best trained dog I ever met. Just fantastic. And when I had to rehome the dog Marvel K9 went above and beyond to assist me and the dog. They care very much about the dogs they train. I recommend them highly and if I could give them ten stars I would. read more

Marvel K9 is fantastic! We were at our wits end with our golden retriever puppy -- he was out of control, high energy, and didn't listen to commands even after multiple sessions with two different trainers. We were so hesitant to send him away, but felt like we had tried everything. I am so glad we did. Teddy came back from Marvel K9 a new dog! He now understands what behavior is expected of him and is truly enjoyable to be around. The Marvel K9 team is super responsive and there for you after your dog comes home. They truly want to see you and your dog succeed. THANK YOU Marvel K9 for getting us here! read more

The entire team at Marvel K9 did a wonderful job training our big boy Bruno. He is excellent around our kids and home for an 85 lb., 1 yr old puppy. I would recommend Marvel K9 to anyone looking to train their dog. read more

From overwhelmed to overjoyed -- thanks to Marvel K9. We rescued Chewie (a lovable lab/pit mix) full of hope, but with 4 kids and 6 cats, his energy and strength quickly became overwhelming. We tried for over a year to calm the chaos, but nothing worked -- and we were heartbroken thinking we might not be able to keep him. Then we found Marvel K9. From the moment they met Chewie, they saw what we saw -- a sweet, goofy soul who just needed guidance. Their calm, confident team gave him structure and gave us hope. He came back from their training still full of love, but now attentive, grounded, and thriving. Our kids adore him. Our cats nap around him. He finally feels like part of the family, not part of the chaos. They even noticed food allergies behind his frequent ear infections -- and helped us switch to a raw diet that's saved us on vet bills and made him healthier than ever. Marvel K9 didn't just train our dog -- they helped transform our home. If you're struggling, call them. You won't regret it. read more

I honestly cannot recommend Marvel K9 enough. I adopted my sweet girl Tabby September of 2021. She was fearful and anxious around literally anyone who wasn't myself or my family and I honestly was on the fence about a board and train but after taking her for the first meet and greet with Erene, I knew it was going to be the best decision ever. Erene, her husband along with their staff have quite the well oiled machine running at their facility and it's impressive and puts your mind at ease when you take your pups there. You can tell everyone who works there loves what they do, they're kind, welcoming and obviously love the animals they take care of. I kind of thought tabby was going to be some weird scared dog forever and I would have to just adjust my life around her but that's absolutely not the case. She was gone for about 5 weeks and came home a totally different dog. Her willingness to go in her kennel is worth every penny alone!! (Was previously a battle every time we wanted to put her in there) it really put my mind at ease too that tabby would be with other dogs, getting passed around to various trainers, spending time in Erene's home with her family and children instead of just being locked up in a kennel all day. I really appreciate all of the time Erene has spent with me teaching me how to properly maintain tabby's training as well as encouraging my family to also be present for our post boarding lessons. I cannot recommend them enough. I would send all of my animals in the future to Marvel k9, they're absolutely rockstars and if you're thinking about bringing your dog here, absolutely go for it! read more

Marvel K9 Dog Training Academy - Pet Training Near Me - Temecula, California

I have to say this is the best place to get your dog trained. For our King Shephard Olivia, it was a night and day difference. We enrolled her into the "Behavior Modification" program and it helped out big time. Even though our pup wasn't bad, we just couldn't have company over with out her inside her kennel or outside. Now she is great around other people, listens to commands and she's really engaged with the training. The great thing about Marvel K9 is they continue the training even after she came home. We have another one to do but we're going to enroll her into proctection training next. She is much better and all I can say is THANK YOU. If you're just thinking about doing training or just want to see if this is a good spot, send them an email and try out the free evaluation and go from there. read more

Irene, Francois and staff at Marvel K9 have been FANTASTIC for our 20 month old Vizsla DUKE. Recently we had a baby and Irene instructed an in home integration session with our dog and newborn, giving us direction and a plan for keeping them both safe and able to co-mingle under the same roof! We have also used Marvel K9 for both Advanced Off Leash (AOL) training and boarding and can only say the best things!

We brought our 1 year old rescue ( Belgian Malinois) to Erene and Francois for basic obedience training and behavior modification, focusing on correcting dog reactivity. We could not be happier with the results as our Mal is now a very social and well behaved K9. Both Erene and Francois spent extra time with us both at the Marvel facility and in our home to insure our understanding of how to use commands and rewards for good behavior and to help integrate our rescue with our other two dogs. They both along with the other Marvel trainers are very easy to work with and take their time to insure training is done properly. If you are in need of professional K9 training we highly recommend Marvel K9 read more

Marvel K9 Dog Training Academy - Kingston a happy Marvel K9 graduate - Pet Training Near Me - Temecula, California

Please don't fall for the reviews. My dog stayed here 6 weeks and came back just as wild as when he went there. I don't believe that a dog is trained only if they have a prong collar and e collar on. I have used both these methods with my other dog and they work but my dog also is trained without them on. There was very little communication when my dog was at training and when I would get communication it would be after multiple attempts. When I came for the go home training my dog had cuts on his neck and was told it was from playing with other dogs . I know this is from excessive prong use. I am so disappointed that I spent 3600 dollars to have my dog come back skinnier, not trained and abused. I would never recommend this place to anyone. They wanted me to continue 1:1 training but I was done. I think 1:1 training with Reputable trainer is better than a board and train where your dog will be cooped up in a tiny kennel for weeks. read more

I am soooo happy with the training Marvel K9 provided me and my dog, Saint. I had previously taken my dog to a different board and train program. I struggled with Saint after that training and felt like I was just not getting it or Saint and I were hopeless. Saint was leash aggressive and very hard to walk when other dogs were around. After working with Marvel K9, Saint really understood commands and I learned how to communicate with her. Walking has become enjoyable for us both! Today I walked through a small tourist town with tons of dogs around and Saint noticed them but had ZERO reaction. Everyone at Marvel K9 is so wonderful! read more

Marvel K9 Dog Training Academy - Pet Training Near Me - Temecula, California

Marvel K9 is AMAZING to work with. Let me start by saying how incredibly grateful we are to have found Erene and her team. Without her persistence and knowledge, what she's accomplished wouldn't have been possible. Dog trainer? Or dog whisperer more like. Erene is confident and you can clearly see that from our initial assessment at the BEAUTIFUL Marvel K9 facility. Our situation was unique I would say. We brought our 1.5 year old Male Frenchie to them because of some extreme fear and signs of aggression issue he was showing. From the first time we met Erene, I knew she was the right one for our baby after having hired other trainers and not seen any change. She knows exactly when and how to test your pup and NEVER makes you feel that she would let anything happen. She tested our pup with one of her large dogs, who is trained amazingly and didn't even flinch when our dog tried to react. You could clearly see she knew exactly how far she could go, safely to give you a accurate assessment. Which was something I needed to see after our last horrible experience with a past trainer. We decided to sign our Frenchi up for the Behavior Mod and advance off leash training board and train program. 4-6 weeks long. At drop off we only brought his food and pup. She boards them inside her home, which we love because it gave our baby a at home feel. She provided a bed for him while there, crate and offered to transition him to RAW food diet while there. We agreed and we are so happy we did. She does a safe; and informed transition, keeping you informed the process. She even added some supplements for skin and made him some yummy healthy treats. During his training, we were giving the option to visit when we asked, however we did not want to create any depression with us coming and going for our dog in the middle of training, we decided to FaceTime him( which was great and made it easier to not see him during training. Weekly we got a update on his training, via email and pictures of him as well. We also got photos regularly during training via text, and she answered any and every question we had. During his training he was introduced to all sizes of dogs, all breeds and all ages. He become besties with a lot of them and played well in day care as well at the facility. We also decided to board our 4 month old pug for the weekend with them at the end of his training and she also transitioned our puppy to RAW and introduced them to each other, which made it so Easy for me to have them home together again. At the end of training, we went to the facility to do our pre-home appointment we were givin some instructions on things he was trained to do so she could see if we were following the instructions right. It is not only important to Erene to make sure your pups are trained and listening, but also that you, the handler is following the commands properly as well. Because if you don't follow the commands and structures she's put into place, all the hard work she's done will go to waste. So, if you're not willing to do the work, then this might not be for you and you can't blame anyone but yourself if you don't listen to everything she teaches you and your pup. The next day, Erene personally drove our pup home, and re introduced him to our home calmly and worked again with us on "homework" for the week. We were able to ask any questions we had at this time, she showed us how to use all the tools she used for training and practiced the commands with us at our home as well. As a dog owner who has always had a fear of bad dog behavior because of past experience, getting him back home and being in charge now made me a little nervous, but I could clearly see that he was much happier, not depressed anymore and eager to please. Which made it easy for me to take the role she had been playing during his training. Our baby arrived home healthy, amazing coat, happy, non-injured, at a very healthy weight, and most importantly not fearful of many things he was when he left for training. We are so grateful to have found Marvel and Erene. We are even doing training for our puppy too with them because we realize we don't know all the answers and her help is unmeasurable. With the easy communication, and tremendous help Erene and her team have shown us, it is the BEST choice you can make for your furbaby. Any breed, any size and problem. We will choose Marvel every time and so should you. Especially if you want to be sure your pet is SAFE the entire time and NEVER left unsupervised. So excited to see how far out babies will continue to go with the trusted guidance of Marvel and Erene! Thank you all so much to every single person who took part in taking care of our baby. We are forever grateful read more

We are so grateful we found Marvel! We have a standard Australian Shepherd and a mini Australian Shepherd, and both exhibited very typical Aussie behavior of being protective of us and anxious of strangers. They also were horrible leash walkers and only listened to us at dog parks sporadically. We did the advanced behavioral board and train. Marvel taught them how to communicate with us, and it was extremely obvious how much they loved and cared for them while they were there. And most importantly, afterwards they made sure we understood how to communicate with them and continue to train them. When they came home, it was night and day for their behavior issues, and we were able to spend more time enjoying our dogs instead of cleaning up after/dealing with our dogs. Marvel also came to our house and addressed specific concerns we had. I can't recommend them enough! read more

We adopted our 4-year-old ACD in February of 2021 and enrolled him in the on-site advanced off-leash training program from mid-August through September. We just had our last at-home private lesson (1/30/22) that was included within the package, and we couldn't be happier! Odie LOVES the trainer Eric and has been so happy to see him every time. We're always getting compliments on how well-behaved Odie is. Adopting an "older" dog is a risk, but he is worth his weight in gold to us and Marvel has been a huge part of that! Despite the distance from our home, we'll definitely be taking him back to Marvel K9 for boarding and occasional on-site trainings for refreshers. read more

As a first time dog owner with a high-energy/bossy Boston Terrier (Patron), our family was in need of a place like Marvel K9. Erene and Francois have been an invaluable resource in getting us on the right track! Patron had successfully completed Advanced Off Leash | Behavior Modification Board and Train program last August which had absolutely transformed our lives. Not only did Patron learn basic commands, but Marvel K9 was able to find a way to deal with Patron's crazy energy that used to come out in lots of jumping/attention-seeking/leash pulling/manipulation as well as how to help teach him impulse-control and build his confidnece. We've gotten many compliments on Patron's polite demeanor in public and it's all thanks to Marvel K9! 100% the greatest investment for our dog's well being and our comfort to date. read more

I might have had big expectations based on reviews. But almost a year out and my dog is only slightly better. Maybe I didn't communicate my needs properly. My dog bit a vet tech now has a record with the state and this was my biggest concern. She was released with the idea that she would improve with training, but she has not. Maybe my dog is unable to be rehabilitated. I feel I put almost 5 grand into nothing. I have been training at home, but she needed more than Marvel, I guess. I cannot handle her anymore and have to give her back to the shelter. I was hoping this could be avoided with training, but she just might be a fringe case. I have no idea. I'm not a dog expert. And the dog experts I took her to did not resolve the core problem. My short advice: reconsider sending adult dogs here, especially little ones. Their experience seems to do better with large, young breeds. read more

One of the best training academies and decisions I could've made for my young Belgian Malinois, Zeus! I did quite some research and asking around on various facilities/trainers before finally deciding to go with Marvel K9 and I have had no regrets! Zeus had various triggers ranging from the typical bikes, skateboards, runners, etc. to the occasional passing dog and so it was decided that the advanced off leash board & train was the best fit for him. And believe me when I say it was like night and day when he came back home! He has come such a long way since then and it's all because of Marvel K9 and their team of talented and professional trainers that are just so knowledgeable and that make the best experience for not just the dog but the owner as well. Couldn't recommend them enough! read more

I can't overstate how impressed I've been with the service at Marvel K9. From the very first phone call, Diana has been prompt with her responses to calls, texts and emails, and takes her time to provide thorough information and answer all my questions. Erene and her team have been AMAZING with my dog Teddy. He started as an unstable puppy full of problem behaviors and is now a confident pooch who respects boundaries from people and other dogs. We can trust him around rowdy kids and crowded environments without stress and can enjoy taking him with us wherever we go. Given the amount of time they have spent with Teddy and I, the comprehensive training in various settings, and the equipment they have provided me, this investment was well worth the cost. I look forward to continuing to use Marvel for day care, boarding and booster trainings. My dog absolutely loves them! read more

I LOVE YOU ALL AT MARVEL K9, especially Erene, Francois and all the staff who handled our pup, your training has changed our and our pups life (Titan) for the better! Thanks so much for taking our boy Titan (2 year old Pittie mix) and turning him from a hoodlum and into a gentleman. We signed him up for the advanced off leash board and train program and highly recommend that anyone with issues like ours do the same (call me and come meet Titan so you can see his new attitude!). Titan was obviously abused before we adopted him from the shelter, knew/followed NO commands, was aggressive to other dogs, pulled like a freight horse on walks, chased birds/chickens/ducks unmercifully, marked inside the house, jumped on people, aggressively barked at everyone (except Mom; Marvel knew immediately he was resource guarding), lunged and bit people unmercifully (10 different people; some multiple times) and obviously needed to learn some basic manners so he could avoid fear based reactions. After his stay at Marvel K9 he came back a changed pup! Now he not only behaves around people and other pets, he follows commands! He goes into his kennel voluntarily, knows/follows all the basic commands on and off leash, and I feel like I can take him anywhere, given some more time and my training improves (not his, LOL). He came out a much calmer and more controllable pup that can live in our home and we can all enjoy each other. From the initial introduction Erene immediately bonded with him and within 10 minutes stated that Titan was trainable. Her take charge/no nonsense attitude helped immensely, especially as I was worried we had to make the hard decision of either practicing avoidance the rest of his life or having to put him down (yes, we tried cheaper priced trainers first). She saved his life with her training!!!! Marvel K9 training is well worth its weight in gold. We plan on using Marvel for boarding and booster training sessions. We definitely recommend bringing your pup here. read more

We sent our two Belgian Malinois to the Marvel K9 team for 5 weeks of advanced off leash and all I can say is WOW. Our young male had major on leash dog aggression, we couldn't even take him on a walk without worry what might happen. Now, we can take him out and about anywhere without any issue. Our beloved 9 year old female had been formally trained as a puppy but was in need of a tune up. She came home confident in her OB, and better yet 20 lbs lighter (she was fat). She is so healthy and so better off after Marvel. The follow up at home lessons have been so helpful for us. Thank you Marvel K9 for making our furry companions better dogs. Also, we would never take our dogs anywhere else to board. The dogs get to play with their friends and also get a tune up in training. 100000 stars read more

We went to this location. Not easy to get to either and we were in a truck. Once we got there it was awkward. No one really greeted us and we felt like we didn't know what to do. We finally were greeted by a staff member about 15 minutes after we got there and we had an appointment so I figured they should've expected us. Finally about 20 or so minutes later we were met by the main woman. She took my dog walked two seconds into an obstacle course with mannequins and one glance my dog didn't want to walk through. She came back to us told us our dog had fear based behaviors and that we would need to board him and it would cost about $3000. My husband and I really didn't like the idea of leaving our dog to be boarded with other people and we could not visit until weeks later. Although if my dog needed it we would pay the amount it was kinda steep for us. We took our dog to the vet who told us our miniature pincher was the most well adjusted dog he's ever saw in his office and said he had a bunch of trust in us and was not fearful at all. So we ended up at a K-9 training facility with our baby and he is the star of the class with all the bigger police dogs. He's thriving and I didn't have to board him. He doesn't show any fear. I wonder if that is how they do it with everyone's pet. Walk them through a course for a second and then say it's fear based and needs to be boarded. Our experience was very impersonal and left me feeling as though we were a burden to them for being there at our appointment time. I could imagine leaving my fur baby with someone who left me feeling the way they did. It wasn't a warm and friendly environment where I felt comfortable leaving my pet. I had higher expectations and it just left me unsettled when we left there. read more

Marvel K9 did a super job with a young Malinois showing aggression. Erene was able to understand the dog immediately and through structure and patience completely turned this dog around. He is now very clear minded , calm and focused. He is now excelling at detection work and a joy to be around. I would HIGHLY recommend Marvel K9, with any behavioral issues, as they use a kind, firm approach that was easily translated to me when I brought the dog home. I really appreciated the home training session afterwards, and was again impressed with her knowledge and expertise. read more

So we had the unfortunate experience of someone trying to break into my house while my son was home alone so we decided to start looking for a good protection dog. My husband found this place and we fell in love with Madrox. He is a love, but we totally feel safe with him. I know nobody will ever bother us when he is around. He is trained and we still go for some refresher classes but he is awesome. Can't thank them enough read more

Dutch is our third Lab. We thought we could handle this wild and crazy dog but soon learned they all have their own personalities. He is a one year old and 90 pounds of muscle with a spicy personality. He was hard for me to manage. We brought him to Marvel K 9 for an evaluation. Erene immediately bonded with him and demonstrated her passion for animals. Her loving, controlled, take charge/no nonsense attitude transferred too Dutch. He really responded to this guidance. I just felt confident this was a good match for our big boy. We signed him up for off leash training. Words cannot express our happiness with the result. In addition to his training, I received training, which set us up for success. The Marvel K 9 team has compassion, love and commitment to our dogs. I highly recommend this AMAZING Team !!! read more

I made two good decisions in my life. Marrying my wife and taking Khaos (my dog) to Marvel K9. Khaos starting training at 5 months old, only 8 months today but his OB is very good.

We've known Francois and Erene (owners and operators of Marvel K9) for 2.5 yrs. We initially received a Belgian Malinois rescue from Woof Project Rescue. Prior to receiving Laguna, she had received training from Marvel K9. Upon receiving her, we were presently surprised with her on leash and off leash obedience. Being a former police K9 handler, I know how dogs, especially Beglian Malinois, can be when working with a new handler and when a relationship hasn't been establish. Erene set up several in home training sessions with us and was extremely patient and thorough teaching us how to work with Laguna. We were so pleased with the training, support and customer service at Marvel K9, we purchased a second Belgian Malinois from them. Both Erene and Francois are outstanding dog trainers and would I highly recommend them for your dog training needs read more

Marvel K9 Trained our defiant difficult to control pup with unbelievably great results. Lucie was constantly into mischief and would deliberately do whatever she was told not to do. Never listened to any commands and would sulk when reprimanded. Marvel K9 was our last ditch effort before giving her away. (And we feel our pets are part of the family.) Her behavior was bad. Lucie came home after the 4 weeks of training at Marvel K9 a totally different dog. Her demeanor is sweet and loving. She is attentive to what we want her to do and is eager to please. She is now a dream to walk on or off leash. Erene followed up with weekly visits at our home in Coronado to reinforce the training and is always willing to assist with solutions. (Not exactly a convenient drive for her). Before the training, Lucie pulled on the leash constantly so much it was a constant battle. Now she will stay, come, be quiet, whatever she is told, most often on the first command. Even while playing with dogs at the dog park, when we tell her to come, she will stop what she is doing, come to us and sit until we tell her what to do next or that she is again free to play. Marvel K9 has made Lucie into a wonderful companion we enjoy having with us wherever we go, because she now has such good manners. We highly recommend Marvel K9 training to everyone with a dog they truly want to enjoy. But especially if you have a strong willed dog, with habits you want to correct. They are wonderful. Money well spent! A good value for the difference its made in our life with Lucie. Thank you Marvel K9. read more

I highly recommend Marvel K9!!!! I brought Rae for an evaluation at Marvel K9 for boarding. In the past I had concerns of her interactions with other dogs but they assured me her safety and introduction to group play. Even though I only had her there to board I instantly noticed the difference in my dog when i got her back. She was not only comfortable with dogs around her, but noticed she was in such fit shape! Her daily routine involved hiking and even swimming at their new pool! Beyond lucky to have found a place I can trust for my dogs boarding and training needs! read more

We did a board and train with out 2 year old German Shepherd at Marvel K9. We have also worked with other good trainers, and my dog knew a lot of obedience commands, but still sloppy on some commands and was leash reactive. Erene and her staff have been fabulous and have not only trained our dog but have taught us the right way to interact with out dog. She has really helped us to see we where not communicating clearly to our dog, and that has made all the difference in the world. She has got him on a raw diet he is thriving on. Erene has worked with us in our home and out in public places, she is always there for questions. We really got a lifetime dog trainer for the cost of a 5 week board and train. Got to work with her husband Francois, he is amazing also. We will be using their boarding and more training in the future. Working with these guys has been a great experience. read more

Incredible dog trainers. Erene and Francois are very knowledgeable and professional and they go out of their way to help their clients. We did the board and train with our 2 dogs that couldn't even be in the same room together and it has been a lifesaver. Whether you need a trainer to help with basic obedience or need to resolve some more serious behavior issues I highly recommend Marvel k9. read more

Eight months ago we contacted Marvil K9 looking for training and occasional boarding for our Belgian Malinois. We drove to their facility in Temecula and met Erene and other team members. We were provided many options to choose from and selected a training package specially tailored for us. Quite frankly based on the price we thought there had to be other charges or hidden costs for things not discussed. Much to our surprise and delight they provided everything we discussed and much more and not once was there an extra charge. NONE. Erene is a fantastic and rare resource for K9 health and nutrition questions in addition to her expertise in training K9's. We now have a very happy and obedient Belgian Malinois that behaves as we hoped for and no doubt will make having this kind of dog as a pet much more enjoyable. We live 70 miles from Marvil K9 and make the drive when there are much closer options because we BELIEVE and TRUST MarvilK9. read more

My Belgian Malinois puppy was very dog-aggressive and extremely active. I researched trainers that specialize with this breed, and found Marvel K9. I am very happy to have found them, because training with their team was wonderful. Erene, Francois and Diana made the process very easy, understandable and helpful. You can really tell that they love these animals and take great pride in their profession. When I got my dog back from training, he was completely changed - in the best way. He responds perfectly to commands now and is very friendly with other dogs when I walk him. He is confident and happy. The only downside was being away from my dog for 7 weeks during the board and train, but of course understand that was part of the process. While it's not the cheapest method, I couldn't recommend them more. If you want the best for your dog, take them here! read more

5 stars! I have a Malinois that I started taking to Marvel K9 back in May, and I'm so glad I did! I drive an hour and 20 minutes each way and it's absolutely worth it. We are training for personal protection and French ring, and within the first couple lessons with Francois I could already see the results of the knowledge and experience he brings to the table. Not only is my dog learning quickly, but with the help of Francois and the whole team at Marvel I'm learning how to communicate better with my dog and become a better handler. Everyone there is so nice and willing to help. This is a great group of people who really care about dogs, I can't recommend them enough! When I go away for two weeks in September they will be the only place I trust to leave my boy for boarding as well. read more

I would HIGHLY recommend Marvel k9 for any type of dog training. Erene and Gene worked with my dog on behavior modification and her behavior has drastically changed. The price at first seemed high, but it was worth every penny because they are so thorough and detailed with everything. They walk you (humans) through everything you need to maintain the good behavior and are so helpful. Communication is great with everyone there. They have an awesome facility and hike with the dogs everyday. I would use them again in a heartbeat for any future doggies! You won't regret hiring them! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!! Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable. It can be scary dropping your fur child off for couple weeks or more but I am so glad we found marvel k9 they did amazing with our 5 year old female Doberman who had confidence issues! We forever have a place to board our baby when we need to ( also very hard to find a place to trust to board your dog) bonus is they keep up your training while your dog boards with them!! The office staff is so friendly and gets back to you right away!! Erene and her whole staff are just amazing. If you are looking to board or train your dog look no further!! I researched for so long and talked to a couple places. None of the other places made me feel comfortable and most charge you a set price and train your dog for 2 weeks and send them back! Marvel won't send your dog back home unless they are ready another thing I love about them they go at your dogs own pace and let them warm up to them before training! You won't regret bringing your dog here! read more
