Our story

We’re glad you found us! My family and I have dedicated our lives to dog training. We love learning about dogs, dog training, and giving puppies the best start in life possible.

I have worked full-time and professionally as a dog trainer for over 25 years. We have devoted tens of thousands of hours to better understanding dogs and training them professionally over three generations. Our Dog Training Kennel is also our home. For us, dog training and behavior modification is a family passion.

I have developed a simple training method that is very effective, kind, and easy to customize for your dog and you. My program is gentle, fun, and highly effective for all dogs. I guarantee my training.

Please give us a call to see how we can help you and your dog. We are pleased to answer any questions you may have, and we are looking forward to meeting you and your dog.

California Dog Training is conveniently located in Riverside County, Temescal Valley, California. Our customers come from all over the state of California: Orange County, Riverside, San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara. Southern California, Northern California and Central California.

We build a healthy relationship for you and your dog.

A healthy and cooperative relationship with your dog is based on mutual trust, respect and consistency of expectations. This is the cornerstone of an effective and lasting dog or puppy training program.

We teach your dog good manners.

Your dog can learn good manners! Teaching your dog the right way to behave will help them make friends and keep them. Wondering how to get your dot to stop leash pulling, end counter surfing, jumping up on people, and show proper greeting etiquette towards guests and children? These are all par for the course.

We guarantee exceptional Obedience Training.

Obedience Training gives you the tools you need to communicate with your dog. Dog Training: Sit, Down, Come when called, Long Down-Stay, and Crate Training are the essential ABCs for any dog. We guarantee your dog will respond consistently and happily.

Use gentle, rewarding and highly effective methods.

Positive Reinforcement methods work. Our training is fun and exciting and creates positive outcomes for your dog. We never use harsh correction collars and methods! Dogs, by nature, are reward-driven. The majority of your dog’s long-term success is based on willingness to please and reward.

Expert in dog behavior modification.

We can work through even the most challenging behaviors. You name it, I have solved it. I will show you how to manage and resolve your dog’s problem behaviors too. I use gentle and skilled behavior modification techniques and provide you with the ample support you need.

Here when you need us.

Customers reviews

Kenai is now an OFFICIAL THERAPY DOG, here in Chula Vist/San Diego. She passed the CGC test on the first try, she also passed the therapy dog testing on the first try... We had our first outing today, and she did wonderful. So many were impressed with her…even the president of the organization was very impressed with the way Kenai carried herself, especially with other adults and kids

Hello Robert, I just wanted to let you know that Milo is doing great! He is a well oiled-bulldozer and is no longer bashing the door - that was the hardest thing for him. Milo does his down stays for 40 min. every night and walks on the lead nicely. I don't really need the lead, he is right by my side. I love that he will sit and stay until I tell him to come - where ever I am; and he lays down every time asked! I could not ask for a better dog thanks to you and your staff. Thank you!!
