Two dogs in training
San Diego, CA & Surrounding Areas

We don't train dogs.
We build them.

Every program starts with an honest conversation — not a sales pitch. We come to you, evaluate your dog, and build a plan that fits.

Before We Talk Programs

The right program doesn't exist until we meet your dog.

No two dogs are the same. The assessment is where we figure out exactly what yours needs — no pressure, no packages, just a plan that works.

What We Offer

Training Programs

Here is a full picture of what we offer. Your program and investment are determined at your assessment — not before.

Obedience Programs

Puppy Foundation
8 weeks to 5 months.
Not obedience training. Life training. This program covers leash breaking, potty training, kennel routine, boundary training, structure, and teaching your puppy the most important skill of all — how to do nothing. We build the foundation that makes everything else possible.
Puppy
Basic Obedience — On Leash
Learning the language.
Pack structure, leash communication, and all foundational commands introduced and mastered. Where every dog starts before moving off leash.
Obedience
Basic Obedience — Off Leash
Proving the work.
Everything built on leash gets proven without one. The goal was never the leash. The goal was always the relationship.
Obedience
On & Off Leash — Full Program
The full journey in one program.
From pack structure all the way to off-leash fluency. The most complete obedience experience we offer and the best investment for lasting results.
Best Value
Advanced Obedience
On & Off Leash graduates only.
For dogs that have the foundation and handlers ready to go further. Precision, complexity, and connection at a level most people never see.
On & Off Leash Required

Board & Train / Behavior

Board & Train
When the situation calls for it.
Board & Train is not a standard offering — it is a decision made at the assessment or during the training process itself. If a dog's behavior requires full immersion to address safely and effectively, we board. Not because it's convenient, but because it's what the dog needs. Owner transfer sessions are always built in so you are ready to lead when your dog comes home.
Assessment Determined
Behavior Modification
Targeted. Precise. No fluff.
For dogs with a specific behavior that has slipped, stalled, or never quite clicked. We identify the root cause and rebuild it the right way. Available as private sessions or full board & train immersion.
Rehabilitation

Sport & Specialty

Obedience Retrieval
Take it, hold it, bring it back.
This is not hunt training. This is disciplined, obedience-based retrieval rooted in Schutzhund/IPO retrieve work — built on the same foundation as everything else we do. Your dog learns to take an object on command, hold it with duration regardless of distraction, retrieve it from the ground or at a distance, and deliver cleanly to hand — all on your terms, not theirs. Nothing happens without a command and nothing stops until the out.
Sport
Scent & Detection Work
Nose work that builds confidence in any dog.
Odor recognition, scent discrimination, and detection foundations covering box, room, and vehicle searches. One of the best programs for building drive and confidence regardless of breed or age.
Sport

Sport Protection

Level 1 — Detection & Alert
Where all protection work begins.
Threat identification and controlled alerting. The pre-bite phase and the most important phase. Every dog starts here — no exceptions regardless of prior experience.
Evaluation Required
Level 2 — Defensive Bite
Earned, not given.
First controlled contact. Level 1 completion required — and passing Level 1 does not automatically guarantee advancement. We build dogs that bite out of drive, never fear.
Level 1 Required
Level 3 — Offensive Bite
The most restricted program we offer.
Offensive deployment on command. The fewest dogs and handlers will ever reach it. Full re-evaluation and re-qualification required before a single session is scheduled.
Restricted

Additional Programs

Service Dog Training
A multi-year commitment. Limited availability.
Task-specific training tailored entirely to the handler's needs. 18–24 months of intensive daily work followed by 6 months of handler integration. Acceptance is not guaranteed.
Limited Availability
Alumni Boarding
On & Off Leash graduates only. This is not a kennel.
Your dog already knows the standard. When they board with us, they are being worked — not just watched. No regression. No bad habits. To qualify, your dog must have completed the On & Off Leash program with us. Current vet records required.
On & Off Leash Required
