Dog Training in San Diego

Where San Diego Dogs Find Their Best Behavior

I employ a balanced training approach that combines positive reinforcement with clear communication to foster trust and respect between you and your dog. This method is effective for addressing issues such as:

Leash pulling

I help your dog walk calmly on a leash without pulling, making walks more enjoyable and controlled for both of you.

Excessive barking

We’ll work on reducing unnecessary barking by identifying the cause and teaching your dog when it’s appropriate to be quiet.

Jumping up

I’ll teach your dog to stop jumping up on people and furniture by setting clear boundaries and reinforcing calm, polite behavior—creating a more peaceful and respectful home environment.

Separation anxiety

If your dog struggles when left alone at home, I use gentle methods to build their confidence and reduce stress while you're away.

Aggression and reactivity

I address aggressive or reactive behaviors toward other dogs, people, or triggers with safe, structured training that builds trust and control.

Basic obedience commands

Your dog will learn essential commands like sit, stay, come, down, and more—laying the foundation for great behavior at home and in public.

Comprehensive Support

Training doesn’t stop when the session ends. I offer ongoing guidance and practical advice to help you continue progress confidently between visits.
