Training for Your Unique Dog
The Proficient Pup
Private Dog Training To Keep North County San Diego Community Dogs Enriched, Safe, Confident And Healthy.
Don’t Get Lost in the Crowd…
Group classes are often large and chaotic, making it difficult for you and your dog or puppy to get the individual attention you need. In addition, they can be costly and don't always offer quality instruction.
That's why we exclusively offer private training at The Proficient Pup so that we can work with your dog or puppy one-on-one in your home! We focus on your dog’s specific needs and your training goals, creating a custom training plan and allowing you and your pup to learn at your own pace.
Getting Started
All of our training begins with a 90-minute consultation.
During this time we’ll learn more about you, your pup, their unique needs, and your specific training goals. We’ll then discuss what course of training is best for you and your dog.
All Consultations Include :
- A Specialized Training Plan
- The Start of a Training Behavior
- Information About Diet, Exercise,
- Complimentary Clicker
- Email Support
Consultation
$225/90 Minutes for 1 Dog
$300/120 Minutes for 2 Dogs

Reactivity Relief
As a reactive dog-parent, there is nothing more anxiety-inducing than worrying about a surprise dog around the corner or a child riding by on a bike.
Whether it’s strangers, other dogs, unfamiliar sites and sounds or all of the above, we can tailor a training program to fit your pup’s needs.
We’ll help you start enjoying walks, new places, and guests with a confident dog at your side!
Skills We Can Work On:
- Barking or Lunging
- Snapping or Biting
- Fear of Unfamiliar Noises
- Fear of New Places
- Your Dog’s Specific Triggers
General Manners
Is your dog a little too excited to focus? Maybe they’re a jumper or at the end of the leash all the time. Maybe their recall goes out the door as soon as they step “out-the-door”? Sometimes a little help with the basics is all you and your pup need.
We can help with those must-have behaviors so you can live happily together.
Skills We Can Work On:
- Four-On-The-Floor
- Stay
- Leave It
- Polite Greetings
- Loose Leash
- Coming When Called
- And More!
