Wonder Dog Training - Private In Home Dog Training - Escondido, CA
Wonder Dog Training methods are fun, fast, and effective! We believe that dog training and behavior modification should be a positive experience for the dog and for the dog parents. We don't believe in using pain to "train." Harsh tools and techniques are cruel, ineffective, and cause more problems than they solve. Our methods are kind, gentle, and force-free.
We have a talented team of dedicated, experienced dog trainers (and dog parent coaches), who work with you to customize a training program for you and your dog. Because we are fully invested in your dog's success, we start with an initial evaluation so that we can better understand your needs and requirements.
We offer private in-home training, and virtual/remote training to our clients. We also offer virtual obedience classes, puppy socialization classes, and Canine Good Citizen. We even offer a variety of board and train programs, dog walking, daycare, and overnight boarding!
We are located in North County San Diego and service San Diego and SW Riverside. We have been in the area serving our clients for more than 20 years, and are recommended by several area veterinarians. Be sure to check our reviews on Yelp and Google! Please contact and book us on Petworks. Thank you.
