SoCal Dog training

SoCal Dog Training offers several distinct programs:

The **Gold Training Package** provides world-class in-home training designed to integrate the dog into the owner’s lifestyle, giving total off-leash control. This program addresses all behavioral problems and includes socialization with dogs, people, children, and cats. It can also assist with service dog certification.

The **Doggie Bootcamp** is a 2-week intensive board and train program for dogs over 10 months old. Dogs live with one of the trainers, becoming part of their family pack, participating in daily training activities, and socializing in various public places. This program covers everything taught in the Gold Training Package, resolves behavioral problems, and includes follow-up in-home lessons and lifetime in-home support. It also offers assistance for service dog certification.

The **Puppy Workshop** consists of 2-3 hour in-home workshops tailored to the puppy’s breed, age, living situation, social situation, and family history. It focuses on preventing and correcting bad behavior early, teaching communication, and basic commands like sit, down, and come when called. This workshop has two levels (8 weeks – 4 months and 4 months – 6 months) and must be scheduled along with the Gold Training Package.

**Virtual Training** is available for clients outside Southern California, offering 30-minute Skype or phone consultations for $85. Clients can send a video of their dog’s problem situation, and a trainer will discuss solutions. Related training materials are provided after the consultation.

The **Silver Training Package** includes 2 in-home lessons totaling 5 hours. This program focuses on achieving a high level of household obedience and resolving minor behavioral issues. It teaches therapeutic commands and trains dogs to respond around distractions. This package does not provide off-leash control or serve as a long-term solution for more serious behavioral problems.
