Sandlot K9 Services offers a comprehensive range of dog training programs, built on a philosophy of understanding dog psychology and using humane, natural methods. Their core approach involves a three-step strategy to address behavioral issues and promote obedience.
Programs include AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) training, which is a six-week course available in group settings with small class sizes (4-6 dogs) or as a standalone test. They also provide in-home training for puppies (starting at 8 weeks old) and adult dogs of any age, focusing on problem-solving, behavior modification, and obedience, all aligned with AKC S.T.A.R. and CGC standards.
Specialized training is available for specific behavioral problems like barking, chewing, digging, dog and human aggression, jumping up, leash pulling, and separation anxiety. Additionally, they offer training for Pitbulls, dog protection, service dogs, therapy dogs, and agility. For those outside Los Angeles and Orange Counties, a dog boarding and training program is available.
