Board & Train

Your dog stays at our San Diego facility and works with professional trainers every day. When the stay ends, we teach you how to keep the progress going at home.

Private Dog Training

One-on-one sessions built around your dog, your household, and the behaviors you are actually struggling with.

Puppy Training

Start early. Obedience, house manners and socialization, before problem habits have a chance to set.

Aggression & Reactivity

Leash reactivity, aggression toward people or other dogs, resource guarding. We evaluate what is driving the behavior and build a plan around it.

Potty Training & House Soiling

House-training problems in puppies and adult dogs, including dogs that regressed after a move or a change at home.

Boarding

Boarding at Snug Pet Resort, with an animal hospital on the same site and staff who already know your dog.

What Our Clients Say

“Absolute K9 returned our dog after 3 weeks, and she is a different animal. Completely trained, what can I say, it is a joy. She comes on command, heals, and is completely house broken.”

— Aileen
