With over 30 years of experience in competitive obedience and behavior modification, Splash Premier Pet Resort applies a combination of scientifically proven methods to each client based on professional assessment and analysis.
They use a variety of guidance tools and rewards, selecting the appropriate options for each dog based on an individual assessment and consultation. Their training program is based on the concept that a level of trust and respect between dog and handler is the foundation for a learning experience that is creative and fun, in order to help each dog reach his full potential and be a joy to live with.
Splash serves Orange County, Los Angeles County, and surrounding areas, adhering to six principles of training:
- Dog and trainer are partners in the learning process.
- Each dog learns at his own pace, and patience is paramount.
- Trainers must always work to reduce stress and to develop a relationship with each dog that is based on mutual trust and respect.
- Creativity and variety are essential in preventing boredom and disinterest.
- Anger, impatience, and frustration have no part in effective training.
- Trainers should always “listen” to each dog: learn his physical and emotional language, and he will tell you how he will learn most effectively.
Splash has found great success in working with each client and dog as a team to solve behavioral issues before they escalate into serious problems. Their goal is for each dog they train to be a good ambassador for the Splash training program and to be a good citizen in his community.
Positive training methods are most effective and provide long-lasting results, and Splash consults with clients regularly to ensure realistic goals and continuing education. Whether providing private sessions, in-house training, or group classes, they work toward building lasting relationships between dog and handler and between Splash and clients.

All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
