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. Some dogs in Del Mar are meant to do more than fetch. Got Sit Dog Training San Diego prepares dogs for therapy visits, handler assistance, scent work and property work, after an honest assessment of what your dog is suited for.

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 the training ground. In Del Mar we move from your home to stores, patios and trails, and your dog learns to work calmly around food on the floor, wheelchairs, kids and other dogs.
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. Vocational work starts at home like everything else. Your Del Mar trainer builds a rock-solid foundation, place, heel, recall and a long down, inside your house before adding the task work.
Vocational training in Del Mar builds on Executive Training. Many dogs start there, graduate into real-world sessions and move on to job-specific skills with the same trainer who knows their history.
We provide vocational training throughout Del Mar, including Del Mar Village, North Beach, Del Mar Heights, Del Mar Fairgrounds, and the surrounding Coastal North County communities. 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.
We build the obedience and public-access manners an assistance dog must have: calm in stores and restaurants, settled under a table, ignoring other dogs and food on the floor. Task training depends on your needs and your dog's temperament, and your Del Mar trainer assesses that first.
Therapy dogs need steady nerves, a soft greeting and patience with wheelchairs, walkers and clumsy hands. Some dogs are naturals, others need work and a few are happier at home. Your trainer evaluates your Del Mar dog honestly, then builds and proofs the manners around real crowds.
Vocational training is built on the obedience foundation of Executive Training, so most Del Mar dogs start there or tighten the basics first. If your dog already has a solid sit, down, place, heel and recall, your trainer evaluates it and moves straight into the job-specific work.
