San Diego is a city that lives outdoors, and its dogs come along for most of it. From Balboa Park to the boardwalk at Mission Beach, a well-trained dog gets to go almost everywhere here. Vocational training from Got Sit San Diego is for the San Diego dog that has a job to do. We start with private lessons at your home, then proof the public manners where your dog will work.

FREE CONSULTATION IN SAN DIEGO
San Diego dogs run at Fiesta Island and Ocean Beach Dog Beach, sit under patio tables in North Park and Little Italy, and share the Mission Bay path with skateboards, scooters, strollers and seagulls. A working dog has to be steady in every one of those settings. Your San Diego trainer proofs the down-stay under a patio table, the calm greeting and the ignore-the-other-dog skill until they are automatic.
From the trails of Balboa Park to the sand at Ocean Beach Dog Beach and Fiesta Island, San Diego gives dogs endless places to run, sniff, and socialize. Our trainers use these real-world settings to proof your dog's obedience around skateboards, seagulls, and crowded boardwalks, so good behavior holds up everywhere your adventures take you.
Housing runs from apartments and condos downtown and in Hillcrest to small-yard bungalows in Normal Heights and larger lots in Scripps Ranch and Rancho Peñasquitos on the north side of the city. That is where the foundation is laid. In your San Diego home we tighten the basics to a working standard, then your trainer evaluates temperament honestly and tells you which jobs fit your dog.
Vocational training in San Diego 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.
Our vocational training covers Balboa Park, North Park, Pacific Beach, Point Loma and every other San Diego neighborhood, plus the rest of San Diego. Our trainers work north San Diego from Carmel Valley and the I-15 corridor down to the central neighborhoods, usually with Del Mar and Solana Beach 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 San Diego, from the first puppy lesson to advanced off-leash work.

What San Diego 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 San Diego 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 San Diego dog honestly, then builds and proofs the manners around real crowds.
Vocational training is built on the obedience foundation of Executive Training, so most San Diego 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.
