The Top Dog Trainer - Private Dog Training Service - San Diego, CA

Member since Dec 2019

Hi. I’ve been training both pet dogs and service dogs for 20 years. I work with all breeds, all ages and all problems from obedience to fear aggression. I offer private in home training helping you learn how to train your dog. I don’t use shock collars!

Using behavioral analysis, conditioning, science-based learning theories, and mutual respect, Beth will teach you and your family how your dog learns, and how to be a successful dog handler for your specific dog. Beth specializes in helping her clients build loving, enjoyable relationships that result in kind, calm, confident, obedient dogs.

Beth began her career by training Guide Dogs for the Blind and then moved into training Assistance Dogs for the physically disabled. She has also served as the Group Leader for Guide Dogs of America here in San Diego, published multiple articles on dog training, and authored the book, The First 100 Days with Your Puppy.

Beth has trained thousands of dogs over the years and has worked with every breed, age, and problem imaginable.

Please contact and book my private dog training services on Petworks. Thank You.
