~ Take Training Seriously ~

Teaching a dog truly functional obedience for home and away is boring for a lot of people.

Understanding how important it is to have proper training and proofing is even more important when you have large, powerful dogs of any breed.

Most people (including a lot of dog trainers) don't even understand what truly functional and socially responsible obedience is.

For those that are willing to listen and learn, we are able to help them train their dogs and prepare them for life through a systematic approach of showing, teaching, and proofing.

This same system of training also exposes holes in the training, handling, relationship, and proofing that need to be addressed before getting taken by surprise in a "real world" situation.

Those students that "get it" understand their dogs, what they can handle, and the limitations in the dog handler teams.

Failing to understand who your dog is, what he is capable of, and what you can handle together is a recipe for disaster.

If you are ready to take training and proofing seriously, we can help.

A man was mauled by his three dogs at a neighborhood park Thursday afternoon, according to the San Diego Police Department.
