North County Canine Training

We just finished training for both of our Golden Retriever boys, Teddy (3 years old) and Ronnie (8 months old). Dustin and Jess are SO good at what they do. They clearly LOVE the pups and have such a good balance of love and discipline. Absolutely worth the investment!!! Who wants an untrained (or a couple of untrained) dogs jumping all over them and misbehaving all the time? With Dustin and Jess’s help we have built a stronger and healthier relationship with our pups where we are the ones in control. Both Teddy and Ronnie now have a consistent and reliable down/stay and sit/stay as well as an ability to complete a 20 minute or longer “place” command (which we use often when guests are over or when we are eating dinner). Both pups are amazing at loose leash walking AND off-leash heeling. 🤗 Not only have the pups gotten amazing training, but my husband and I are now much more comfortable with how to interact with the pups to reinforce everything they’ve learned for continued obedience! Previous bad behaviors that we now have a firm handle on are chewing on kitchen towels and baseboards and digging holes in the backyard. 🥳 I am so happy with how the training has impacted Teddy and Ronnie and I HIGHLY recommend North County Canine Training to everyone!!

Dustin and Jessica are really awesome trainers! We rescued a pup only 5 months old and wanted to start things off right. Being new to puppy parenting they were very good with teaching us the basics right off the bat, always focused on what is important to us and educating us while training our pup. Their training is very personalized and we learned many valuable things that you just can’t achieve watching a video or going to group lessons. The best part was they always included our young daughter in the process and encouraged her to take part in the trainings. I highly recommend North County Canine Training for any training needs as they are very knowledgeable and provide long lasting techniques within an easy going and fun atmosphere.

We recently started working with Dustin and Jess to help train our 1 yr old rescue GSD/Husky pup. While he was mostly house trained , he had some behavioral issues ( jumping , biting , leash pulling , barking unnecessarily, etc) . Within the first 3-4 sessions with the both of them , we have seen a full 360 turn around with our dog. Dustin makes sure he truly engages with you and the dog , to make sure you get the best training. He also follows up every other day to check in between sessions. He is extremely well knowledged and taking our dog to any public place is effortless now. While out he has impressed so many people we’ve walked by , that they instantly ask who our trainer is ! We love working with him and absolutely recommend him to anyone who is looking for hands on training that really covers all aspects of behavioral issues and the some ! Thank you Dustin and Jess !
