Cape-Able Canines

Cape-Able Canines focuses on training dog owners to train their dogs, rather than training the dogs directly. They utilize gentle lure and positive reinforcement methods, combined with effective correction, and emphasize socialization.

They offer all levels of training, from puppy to advanced obedience, including specialty classes like introduction to agility and rally. They also provide specialty workshops and problem behavior consultations, all aimed at improving dog/owner communication.

Cape-Able Canines is a full-service facility offering dog training, doggy daycare, and luxury dog boarding. They are conveniently located near the 8 and 125 freeways in La Mesa, California, serving the greater San Diego and East County areas.

Their training philosophy focuses on teaching dog owners to train their dogs, rather than training the dogs for them. They employ gentle lure and positive reinforcement methods, combined with effective correction, and place a strong emphasis on socialization. They believe that learning is a lifelong process for both people and dogs.

For luxury boarding, guest dogs sleep in an apartment setting with a staff member, in a bed, dog bed, crate, or on a couch. The apartment setting provides comfort with temperature controls, including air conditioning or a fireplace, and guest dogs are treated like family, watching TV, listening to music, or enjoying family barbecues.

Daycare provides supervised play in an 8100 square foot grass area, with extended hours available from 6:30 AM to 7:00 PM, Tuesday through Friday, rain or shine. Cape-Able Canines offers all levels of training, from puppy to advanced obedience, including specialty classes such as intro to agility and rally, specialty workshops, and problem behavior consultations, all designed to improve dog/owner communication.
