Rancho Santa Fe is the eucalyptus-shaded estate community between the coast and Interstate 15, with miles of private Covenant trails. Dogs on these large properties have room to roam, and a lot of responsibility that comes with it. Socialization from Got Sit San Diego means a dog that can be around anything in Rancho Santa Fe without losing its mind. We start in your home, then take your dog out to meet the world at its own pace.

FREE CONSULTATION IN RANCHO SANTA FE
Rancho Santa Fe dogs walk the Covenant trails alongside horses and riders, patrol large grounds where coyotes come through at dusk, and join their owners at the village's outdoor cafés and at the polo fields on weekends. That is the socialization curriculum. Your Rancho Santa Fe trainer takes your dog to those exact places, starting at a comfortable distance, and teaches it to stay calm and look to you.
Life in Rancho Santa Fe often means large properties, equestrian neighbors, and miles of Covenant trails. We train dogs to thrive in that setting: composed around horses, trustworthy off leash on sprawling grounds, and well-mannered guests at the village's outdoor cafés.
Housing is almost entirely large estates and ranch properties on two or more acres, many with horses, pools, guest houses and long driveways, plus gated communities like Fairbanks Ranch and the Crosby. That is where the work begins. A dog that cannot handle a visitor in its own Rancho Santa Fe home is not ready for a patio, so your trainer sets up controlled introductions at home first.
Our trainers bring their own dogs to Rancho Santa Fe sessions. Kim's dog Keiko and Hunter's dog Lokai are steady, trained dogs that show yours how to behave around another dog without the chaos of a dog park.
Our socialization training covers The Covenant, Fairbanks Ranch, The Crosby, Rancho Santa Fe Village and every other Rancho Santa Fe neighborhood, plus the rest of Inland North County. Rancho Santa Fe sits between our coastal and inland routes, often paired with Olivenhain, Solana Beach, Del Mar and 4S Ranch.

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 Rancho Santa Fe, from the first puppy lesson to advanced off-leash work.

What Rancho Santa Fe dog owners ask us before the first lesson. Anything else, ask during your free in-home consultation.
Usually not. Dog parks in Rancho Santa Fe are unstructured, and a shy or pushy dog often learns the wrong lesson there. We socialize with controlled introductions, starting with our trainers' own steady dogs, then real settings at a distance your dog can handle.
Yes. It takes more patience than with a puppy, because an adult Rancho Santa Fe dog has habits and sometimes fear to work through, but we do it every week. We start in your home, build trust and a place command, then move outside with careful exposure.
Yes. Fear of strangers is one of the most common things we see in Rancho Santa Fe. We never force the dog to be petted. We teach it to stay calm and look to you while people pass, then let it approach on its own terms.
