Obedience That Actually Holds — On the Street, at the Park, Around Distractions
Most "trained" dogs listen fine in the living room and fall apart the second there's a squirrel, a guest, or an open gate. Our training programs build obedience that works in the real world — reliable recall, calm manners, and off-leash control you can trust anywhere.

You love your dog. But you're tired of the pulling, the ignoring, the "he knows better but does it anyway." Maybe you can't take him certain places. Maybe you've tried group classes or YouTube and nothing stuck. The problem isn't your dog — it's that basic obedience training stops at "sit" and never builds reliability under real distraction. That's the gap we close.
Two ways to get the same result: a dog you can trust anywhere
Whether you want us to do the heavy lifting or you'd rather train alongside your dog, both programs build to the same off-leash standard — reliable recall, calm manners, and real control under distraction. Not sure which fits? That's exactly what the at-home evaluation is for.
Board & Train
Your dog lives and trains with us in a structured environment, working one-on-one with a professional trainer every day. Instead of one lesson a week that you have to reinforce alone, your dog gets full-time, consistent training that builds real habits fast — then we transfer that control to you.
- Reliable off-leash recall — comes back every time, even with distractions
- Place & stay — settles calmly and holds it until released
- Loose-leash walking — no more pulling or lunging
- Manners around people, guests, and other dogs
- Impulse control at doors, gates, and food
Weekly Private Classes
Prefer to stay hands-on? Train alongside your dog in weekly one-on-one sessions with a professional trainer. You learn the timing, the handling, and the communication yourself — so the results hold because you built them. Same off-leash standard as Board & Train, at a pace that fits your schedule.
- The same reliable off-leash recall — you're the one who trains it
- Hands-on coaching so you can read and correct your dog in real time
- Loose-leash walking, place & stay, and calm manners
- Weekly sessions that fit around your work and family
- Skills that stick, because you learned to maintain them
Results you can see
We don't ask you to take our word for it. Watch real South Bay dogs go from pulling and ignoring to reliable, off-leash control.
Three dogs came home completely different.
"David had his work cut out for him with my three Frenchies — food aggression, fighting for attention, total chaos with a 2-year-old at home. They came back from board & train like different dogs. Calm, listening, no more fights. I'm putting the oldest in off-leash next."
He finally listens — even off-leash.
"My dog knew every command at home and ignored all of them the second we were outside. After South Bay K9, he comes back every time, off-leash, even at the park with other dogs around. That's the part I never thought was possible."
The 'real' way to train a dog.
"David is excellent and incredibly patient. He teaches the real way to train — not tricks that fall apart under distraction. My dog came back from boarding knowing his commands and actually holding them. Highly recommend."
