Del Mar is a small, polished beach village best known for the racetrack, the fairgrounds and Dog Beach at the north end of town. A well-behaved dog is welcome on almost every patio here, and a poorly behaved one stands out fast. Leash training from Got Sit San Diego starts at your Del Mar front door, where most bad walks begin. Your trainer shows you how to leave calmly, keep the leash loose and get your dog's attention back.

FREE CONSULTATION IN DEL MAR
Del Mar dogs spend winter mornings off leash at North Beach, walk past the shops and patios of the village along Camino del Mar, and hike the Torrey Pines trails just south, where coyotes, cliffs and crowds come into play. That is why leash training in Del Mar happens outside. We start on a quiet street, then move to the places where your dog loses it, adding distractions one at a time.
Del Mar dogs enjoy one of Southern California's great privileges: off-leash winter mornings at North Beach, better known as Dog Beach. Add the village's dog-friendly patios and the Torrey Pines trails just south, and solid training becomes essential. We prepare your pup to handle it all with beach-town manners that match the setting.
Housing in Del Mar is mostly higher-end single-family homes on small lots near the beach, condos along the bluffs and larger properties in Del Mar Heights and the hills above the fairgrounds. That is where we begin. Whether you leave from a condo hallway or a long driveway in Del Mar, your trainer builds a calm start, because a dog that bolts out the door pulls all the way down the block.
Your trainer will also talk about equipment. Harnesses, flat collars and training collars each have a place, and we show you what works for your Del Mar dog and how to use it correctly.
Got Sit San Diego serves Del Mar Village, North Beach, Del Mar Heights, Del Mar Fairgrounds and the rest of Del Mar with leash training. Del Mar is the south end of our coastal route, often covered with Solana Beach, Carmel Valley and north San Diego on the same day.

GET STARTED
Four ways in, one method. Every program starts with private lessons in your home and is proofed in the real world with your trainer. We recommend one after the free consultation, not before.
For the young dog. Private lessons at home set the foundation, then real-world sessions as your puppy grows so good habits survive the teenage months.
Puppy trainingThe program everything else is built on. Private in-home lessons that graduate into real-world work, from kindergarten through university.
Obedience trainingBoard and train. Your dog stays with a trainer to build the foundation, then you take over a dog that already understands the language.
Board and trainFor fearful, confused, reactive or aggressive dogs. Clear leadership and a stronger bond so your dog can handle stress calmly.
Behavioral trainingEvery program we teach in Del Mar, from the first puppy lesson to advanced off-leash work.

What Del Mar dog owners ask us before the first lesson. Anything else, ask during your free in-home consultation.
Most Del Mar dogs walk noticeably better after the first lesson, because the owner finally knows what to do with the leash. A reliable loose leash around distractions usually takes a few weeks of daily practice. Strong pullers and reactive dogs take longer.
Yes. Lunging on leash is one of the most common problems we see in Del Mar, and it is usually frustration or fear, not aggression. Your trainer teaches your dog to look to you when another dog appears, starting at a distance and closing it over sessions.
It depends on the dog. Your Del Mar trainer looks at your dog's size, strength and how it pulls, then recommends the right tool and shows you how to use it. The equipment matters less than the communication, and most owners are surprised how much changes.
