Care and Training
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)

Canine Good Citizen, Agility and other specialty classes. Customized for your
needs - work at your own pace. We can tailor the program to address both
behavioral concerns and obedience needs no matter your dogs breed, age, or
challenges. Private training allows us to address issues most important to
you. We can meet once a week or whatever schedule works best for you. The
Platinum program offers the most complete training package to help you with
obedience and behavior issues and also helps you better prepare your dog for the
Canine Good Citizen test.

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!
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!
