As professional dog trainer in San Diego, I hear it all the time: “My dog is stubborn.” “She just won’t listen.” “He’s reactive and anxious—it must be his personality or breed.” But here’s the truth: most unwanted dog behaviors aren’t always your dog’s fault. They're also a reflection of unmet needs, unclear communication, or inconsistent leadership—and that’s something we can help you with!

Dog training is not just about teaching your pup to sit or stay. It's about reshaping the relationship between you and your dog. Whether your dog pulls on the leash, jumps on guests, struggles with separation anxiety, or shows reactivity to other dogs, behavior can improve with the right training, consistency, and owner involvement.

At Lupa K9, we specialize in private dog training in San Diego that empowers you—not just your dog. Our programs focus on educating you, the owner, and giving you the tools to communicate clearly, set boundaries, and guide your dog toward calm, balanced behavior.

There’s no such thing as a “bad dog”—just untrained behavior. And the good news? All behavior can be improved.
