25 Years of Dog Care Done Right
LAK9s has been one of West LA's most trusted names in dog care since 1999. We're not a big-box kennel. We're a boutique facility that actually knows your dog — their personality, their quirks, and what makes them thrive.
Daycare – Structured, supervised play in our large indoor and outdoor yards. Small, consistent groups so your dog actually enjoys it.
Boarding – Overnight stays in our 10,000 sq. ft. facility, with private runs, raised beds, and the same staff your dog already knows.
Training – Behavior-first training rooted in dog psychology, led by Head Behaviorist Colleen Steckloff — A trainer who's worked in 28 countries
Grooming – Bath and brush services to keep your pup clean and comfortable.
Every dog checks in with a Key FOB system for fast, secure drop-offs. Every stay is backed by 24/7 monitored cameras and a team that genuinely cares. This is the place West LA dog owners have trusted for over two decades — and their dogs keep coming back.

“Lak9s are lifesavers! With our hectic travel schedules, we can count on them to take great care of our pups!”
“We have been very lucky to have LAK9s caring for our dogs for over 25 years. They are the most reliable & hard working people we know. They have not only trained a couple of our dogs, but they have walked, boarded & loved our dogs as we do. They have a special connection with dogs, and understands them like no one else does. LAK9s & their staff is amazing, and we couldn’t imagine our lives without them in it.
