1– We train your dog, saving you time and energy. As a follow up, you receive in-home instruction, in which you learn how to maintain your dog’s new training.
2– In addition to formal training sessions, your dog has the advantage of living with us and having his/her behavior continually and consistently shaped.
3– We only accept a limited number of dogs at one time, which means that your dog is guaranteed individualized attention and time.
4– Training methods are dog-friendly and focus on positive reinforcement. Unlike many other facilities, we do not use electronic shock collars (E-collars), physical punishment, or harsh corrections.
5– Every program includes necessary walking equipment, and a detailed training manual. The four-week Master Training Program includes a video of your dog participating in training exercises, which serves as a helpful visual and auditory reference to help you maintain your dog’s skills.
6– As a part of our 3 and 4-week training programs, dogs are taught house manners (calm behavior, not jumping on furniture or counters).
7– We offer some of the most complete and comprehensive training available in the San Diego and Riverside areas.
8– Dogs as young as 10 weeks of age are able to participate in our training programs, meaning less time is spent “undoing” undesirable behavior.
9– Your dog will live in a cozy home (not a cold outdoor kennel) with the trainer. Dogs are given ample opportunities for exercise, playtime, and socialization in a safe, supervised environment.
10– We go out of our way to make sure your dog’s stay with us is pleasant and enjoyable. After all training should be effective and fun!
