Personalized In-Home Dog Training

At Leader of the Pack Home Dog Training, we bring our training to your home in Temecula, CA. Training in your environment empowers you to train your dog without force. Once you fulfill the role of pack leader, most other issues and concerns will naturally and easily fall into place. Dog behavior issues almost always stem from a lack of consistent leadership and training. Pack leadership isn’t difficult to achieve; it simply requires a basic understanding of the pack leader mindset and consistent use of straightforward techniques. Once this is achieved, it’s easy to train.

Classroom: Understanding Canine Communication & Pack Structure

Does your dog misbehave, ignore, or disrespect you? Do they think they’re in charge? We teach owners effective leadership techniques because leadership equals mentorship. Pack structure is very important to dogs; if we’re not in charge, they will be. Dogs feel safe and secure with effective leadership. Understanding pack structure, leadership, and canine communication will dramatically change the dynamics in a human-dog pack. All training programs include this essential education, which resolves dog behavioral problems.

The Importance of Follow-Up Lessons

Follow-up lessons are crucial for reinforcing what was learned during the initial session. They provide an opportunity to address any new issues that may arise and to ensure that training progresses smoothly. After resolving home issues, we start working on socialization, taking your dog to public areas around other dogs and people to teach them to be comfortable in any setting.

AKC Canine Good Citizen Title

At the end of the training, if you wish, we’ll test your dog for the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen title. This certification not only recognizes well-behaved dogs but also opens doors to therapy dog work and other advanced training opportunities.
