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 trainingThese are the building blocks. During your free in-home consultation your trainer puts them together into one plan for your dog.
Obedience training teaches the commands your dog should know: sit, down, stay, come, heel and place. Behavioral training fixes specific problems such as barking at the Encinitas mail carrier, chewing the patio furniture or lunging at dogs on the Carlsbad seawall. Most dogs need both, so your trainer combines them into one program instead of selling you two.
No. Every service is taught in your home first, then proofed in the real world around real distractions. The one exception is Jump Start, our board and train option, where your dog stays with a trainer to build the foundation before you take over. Even then, the handoff lessons happen at your home in North County.
Yes. Aggression Management is built for confused, fearful and reactive dogs, from the Poway dog that snaps at visitors to the Oceanside rescue that lunges at every dog on the walk. Your trainer works with you to establish clear leadership and a stronger bond so your dog can handle stress calmly, and tells you honestly what they see at the consultation.
You do not have to decide alone. Send the form or text us, tell us what your dog is doing, and a trainer comes out for a free in-home consultation. They watch your dog, demonstrate the method, bring their own trained dog to show the finished result, then recommend the program that fits. Most dogs end up with one plan that covers several of the services listed here.
