Heaven Sent K-9 offers both Private Session Dog Training and Dog Board and Train programs.
Private lessons are 1-hour sessions, typically held once or twice a week, either at the client’s home, a public place, or their facility. These sessions involve the owner in the training process, providing assignments and written instructions for practice. Programs available for private sessions include Aggression Rehabilitation, Basic Obedience Training, Off-Leash Training, Behavior Modification, Puppy Training, and Service and Therapy Dog Training.
The Dog Board and Train program allows dogs to stay at their fully fenced 5-acre training facility in Riverside, CA, or a location in Orange County. Each dog has an 18ft long by 5ft wide kennel with indoor and outdoor access, equipped with elevated beds, water bowls, and blankets. The indoor portion is climate-controlled. During the day, dogs play and socialize in fenced yard enclosures under supervision, and also socialize with farm animals like cats, pigs, goats, horses, and ponies for additional training. This program is available for Aggression Rehabilitation, Basic Obedience Training, Off-Leash Training, Behavior Modification, Puppy Training, and Service and Therapy Dog Training. A minimum of two weeks is required, and owners receive video and photo updates of their dog’s progress.

Testimonials
“The Best Dog Training Around! Sogand is amazing. We have two Labrador puppies who loved to pull on walks, and chew on our shoes & furniture. I had to get harnesses because they pulled me on walks. Now, thanks to Sogand, they both walk right next to us & listen so well.”
– Ash C., Fountain Valley

– Natalia M., Los Angeles
