OUR SERVICES
Training That Builds Confidence. Not Compliance.
At THE DOG SERVICES, we don’t just teach obedience — we guide dogs through behavioral change. Our programs are designed to support both dogs and owners through thoughtful, immersive training that builds trust, resilience, and clarity.Whether your dog needs a full behavioral reset, better leash manners, or confidence in public, we’ll help create a personalized path to long-term success.
FREE INITIAL ASSESSMENT
We Don’t Guess. We Assess.
Before any dog joins one of our programs, we offer a free 20–30 minute assessment. This is a chance to meet your dog, understand their behavior, and learn about your goals as an owner.
Here’s what you can expect:
✔️ Behavior + temperament evaluation
✔️ Lifestyle and goal alignment
✔️ Customized training recommendations
✔️ No-pressure, educational conversation
What sets us apart from big-name trainers?
We don’t rely on e-collars for quick fixes. We don’t mask behavior with tools.
We teach dogs to make the right choices because they want to — not because they’re forced to.
Through structured leadership, calm exposure, and clear communication, we help dogs build confidence and self-control in real-world situations.
We don’t offer a two-week program — because we believe behavioral transformation takes time.
BOARD & TRAIN
One Dog One Trainer, One Life-CHANGE Experience.
Our Board & Train programs are immersive, home-based, and deeply personalized. Your dog lives with us in a family setting – not in a kennel – and receives full-time behavioral training, relationship socialization, and daily structure. This is not obedience in a bubble. This is transformation that sticks.

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT
Home Environment
Unlike warehouse-style facilities, your dog lives in a real home—just like yours. This helps them feel safe, regulate faster, and generalize training to everyday life from day one.
Real-World Training Daily
Training happens where it matters most—parks, stores, trails, and home environments. We skip the artificial setups and teach your dog to succeed in the real world.
One Dog at a Time
We don’t stack dogs in kennels or rotate through groups. Your dog gets undivided attention, customized training, and care that can’t be matched in high-volume environments.
Behavior First, Not Just Obedience
We dig deeper than “sit” and “stay.” Our training addresses the emotional root of behaviors—fear, arousal, reactivity—so your dog can truly feel calm and in control.
Ethical Training Methods
We use science-backed, humane methods—never intimidation or shortcuts. Every dog is treated as an individual, not a command machine. Relationship comes first.
Certified & Insured
Our trainers are certified in behavior, first aid, and real-world application—not just obedience. We’re fully insured for your peace of mind and your dog’s safety.
Drop-In Training Program
Intensive training without overnight boarding. Includes two weeks minumum private lessons for owners and real-world socialization in parks, stores, and neighborhoods.
WHY OUR DROP-IN TRAINING WORKS
More Time Per Session
We don’t rush training. Each session allows for a structured play, behavior, work, and rest time.
Flexible Scheduling
You pick the days. We work around your life to make training sustainable and stress-free.
Real-World Training Every Week
We train in real parks, patios, stores—not just your backyard. Your dog learns where it matters.
Tailored to Behavior, Not Commands
We address fear, reactivity, or overstimulation—not just teach sit or stay.
Weekly Coaching for You
Owners get direct coaching every single week to confidently apply the training at home and public.
Certified & Ethical
No quick fixes or harsh tools. Our certified trainers use science-backed methods with heart.

FROM OUR CLIENTS
Tiffany R., Temecula
I was blown away by the daily video updates. I could see the progress and knew my dog was not just being trained, but cared for. When we picked him up, he wasn’t just obedient — he was calm, happy, and connected to us again.
Marco D., Menifee
We’ve worked with other trainers before, but this was completely different. The communication was incredible. We didn’t just get a better dog — we became better owners. The one-dog-at-a-time model makes all the difference.
