Total K9 Training, LLC offers puppy training, beginner through advanced obedience, group classes, private in-home training, behavior modification, and specialty classes. Their positive approach to training incorporates canine natural history, clear consistent communication, and various training methods and aids to suit each family and their dog’s needs.
Total K9 Training serves various locations in San Diego, including Escondido, 4S Ranch, Del Sur, Santa Luz, Rancho Bernardo, Poway, Sabre Springs, Rancho Penasquitos, and Scripps Ranch. Clients and their families work with a professional trainer in either a group class setting or a personalized one-on-one in-home training program.
Beginning Obedience lessons cover teaching heel, sit, stay, down and come using verbal and hand signals, group discussions on grooming, nutrition, and dog park etiquette, as well as addressing common behavioral concerns. Intermediate/Advanced Obedience reinforces basic commands with added distractions, hones handling skills, increases the dog’s responsiveness to work off-leash, and adds the obedience commands: finish, long distance down, and down on a recall.
Their most popular training program is the 4-session private in-home program, designed to teach obedience commands and address behavioral concerns such as housebreaking, biting, mouthing, nipping, chewing, digging, barking, jumping, and specific training issues. This program includes discounts to beginner obedience classes to practice with added distractions of a group setting, providing consistency by having the same trainer for private training and group classes.
