Our methods

Our programs begin by teaching owners how to engage with their dog in a positive and exciting way. We will use your dog’s toys, treats, and praise to build their drive to do what you ask. Once your dog has demonstrated a clear understanding of what is expected, we will incrementally increase the number and variety of distractions to ensure reliability in real-world environments.

If your dog becomes distracted, reactive, or aggressive, we instruct you on the appropriate use of safe, minimal corrections to regain their attention, allowing for the reinforcement of positive behaviors.

During each training session, we will focus on one or two commands, which will be approached in stages.

Outcome

After completing your private sessions you and your dog will both have a clear understanding of expectations, and you will have the knowledge, tools, and strategies to continue strengthening their performance in public and more difficult scenarios. As you progress, you will also have access to our in-preson check-ins where you can ask questions and work on training games, commands, behavioral issues, and basic socialization. You will also have unlimited phone and email support for one year.

Duration

Our training sessions typically last 1-1.5 hours. The number of lessons that each dog needs can vary greatly, but most of these programs are completed in 5-8 sessions. Our programs also include 12 months of ongoing support!

FAQ

Will my dog be completely trained after completing a Training Program?

Training your dog never stops; however it does get easier and more enjoyable with time. Your dog will have a clear understanding of expectations, and you will have the tools and methods to reinforce and strengthen their behavior in new environments. However, if you stop training your dog for weeks or months at a time, your dog’s behavior may start to regress. That is why it is critical to continue working with your dog for at least 15-20 minutes per day.

When should I start training with my dog?

Whether you are playing, feeding, walking, or sitting with your dog on the couch, your dog is learning and practicing behaviors. The earlier that you start taking an active role in their learning, the easier it will be to build and maintain a positive relationship with your dog. Creating safe opportunities to socialize with different dogs, people, and environments around San Diego is incredibly important!
Please Note: We do not train puppies under the age of 6 months, unless your dog has already shown signs of aggression.
