Heaven Sent K-9 Dog Training is a professional dog training business led by certified dog trainer and behaviorist Sogand Schmeisser, offering private training sessions and board-and-train programs in Orange County and surrounding areas. The business specializes in aggression rehabilitation, behavior modification, off-leash training, puppy training, and service dog training. Sogand uses correction-based training methods to establish clear communication and leadership, emphasizing that corrections are not punishments but tools to guide behavior. She avoids reward-only training, believing it lacks reliability in high-distraction or emergency situations. Clients receive personalized training plans, and owners are actively involved in learning how to maintain their dog’s progress through follow-up sessions. The facility in Corona, CA, provides a safe, spacious environment for board-and-train programs, where dogs socialize with other well-trained dogs. Sogand is known for her compassionate, hands-on approach and for becoming an integral part of her clients’ journeys with their dogs.

She serves dog owners in Anaheim, Corona, Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Santa Ana, Fullerton, Tustin, Yorba Linda, Orange, Norco, Ontario, and Riverside County, offering both in-person and facility-based training.

Additional services include behavior assessments, ongoing support, and training for dogs with severe reactivity, biting, fearfulness, and resource guarding issues. Sogand also provides guidance for families with multiple dogs and those preparing for public access with service or therapy dogs.
