Our unique approach to helping you train your dog, and end unwanted behavior, offers you the best chance of "naturally" bonding with your dog with fewer frustrations. We teach you to utilize your dog's natural instincts and loving cooperative nature throughout the training process. John's 20 years of experience and intense knowledge of canine behavior, allows him to share with owners the most effective ways to live with their canine companions.

 

All of our programs include teaching owners how to gently and effectively train their dogs, on-leash, all basic obedience commands. We can teach either formal or informal commands based upon your preference and goals.

 

NEW! Before you choose any dog trainer, read our latest article "The Shocking Truth" It might just save you time, money and most of all, devastating heartbreak.

 

Our In-Home Training packages are definitely our most popular as well as the most effective. By training you and your dog in your home we are able to address behavior issues specific to your lifestyle and home environment. We are able to teach all household members the same simple methods and techniques. No other dog trainer in San Diego provides you with this much support and opportunity for advanced training. AND, we do not use and would never advocate the use of electronic (shock) training devices. All obedience commands are guaranteed!

Group classes are located in several convenient locations around San Diego County. Our classes cover on-leash basic obedience commands, behavior discussions and solutions, and nutrition and grooming. Subject materials and supportive supplemental information is included in the price. (Please bring 6 foot leash and buckle collar for your dog.)

If you have an aggressive dog, we can help! With one Behavior Session we can give you an honest opinion of what to expect. Aggression is oftentimes a lack of confidence combined with an overreaction to fears. With the right training program to build confidence, and by using proper reinforcement and consistency, 90% of the time we can quell if not eliminate aggressive tendencies.

 

Housebreaking -  We offer Single Sessions! We teach you common-sense, practical approaches without using food and without using fear-based methods.

New Program K9 Personal Trainer!

While we have occasionally offered this program in the past, we have decided now to make it available to everyone. A better solution to sending your dog away for in-kennel training is our K9 Personal Trainer. This program is great for folks with very hectic schedules but any owner and dog will benefit from this outstanding curriculum. Don't send your dog away to a strange facility where you cannot be with your dog, and your dog will  most likely become stressed and frightened. The best learning environment for your canine companion is the safety and security of your home. With our K9 Personal Trainer program we offer just that - we come to you! Our expert dog trainers will visit your home 3 days a week for 4 weeks to teach and interact with your dog so that all obedience commands and socialization exercises are taught and experienced in an environment you and your dog can be comfortable with.  Learning occurs faster and progress is seen immediately. Another benefit to the K9 Personal Trainer program is that you, the owner, will not have to schedule time to be there - we do all the work! Of course we welcome your participation anytime you want, but it is not required. Our customers love the convenience of this program and their dogs look forward to seeing us each and every visit. See below how the K9 Personal Trainer compares to in-kennel training or board-and-train programs; (see our article above "The Shocking Truth" for important information on often-used in-kennel methods)

 

K9 Personal Trainer In-Kennel/Board and Train

dogs routine remains unchanged. dog is kenneled when not in training - usually from 6 to 10 hours per day and all night.
fully customized obedience program which also covers issues around your home; doggie door use, invisible fence, boundary training - you tell us! cookie cutter training program - obedience only.
safer environment - no exposure to dogs of unknown temperament. we bring our own dogs to create distraction and establish positive socialization experiences. dogs are frequently housed in same facility as dogs that are being protection trained or are in-kennel to curb aggression and other behavior issues.
you see your dog's progress after every session and can easily check on us to make sure your dog is being handled in a manner you feel comfortable with. you don't know how your dog is being treated every day, what progress is being made or how training techniques are being administered - by the time you get your dog back sever psychological damage can already have occurred.
affordable and we can do multiple training rounds to advance your dogs obedience even more! prices can range anywhere from  $2,000.00 to $5,000 or more!

Group Classes

Puppy Kindergarten - Puppy kindergarten can give you and your pup a great start together. Many new owners with limited dog experience can benefit tremendously from a well-run puppy class. Unlike training classes for adult dogs, puppy classes tend to include instructions in issues such as housebreaking and behavior management.

 

Beginning Obedience Class - For dogs that are 16 weeks or older - This class is for those dogs that have little or no obedience training and/or do not respond consistently to obedience commands. Includes class materials and Graduation Certificate.

 

Advanced Class - This class is only available to dogs who have completed our beginner class or private training. This follow-up course involves more intense handling techniques to help you get the response you need and want from your dog. Your dog will enjoy the mental stimulation!

 

Single Session

Puppy and behavior sessions can be scheduled if you just need help with a certain problem you might be experiencing with your new puppy or older dog, or if you are just not sure which training package will work best for you. This visit can be scheduled at your home, office or even at the dog park if that is where you are having issues. Best of all, if you decide later on to purchase a training package, the cost of that session will be credited towards whichever program you purchase!
