Our Feisty Fido programs are geared for dogs that need one-on-on or small group attention to address mild to severe reactivity (people & dog aggression, barking & lunging on leash, etc.). Our mission is to provide the personalized training needed to get all dogs into regular private sessions & group classes.
For all Feisty Fido problems we start with a Private Session at our Ramona Facility. It’s a safety thing, but it’s also a better route for training–even if you’re having problems in your home. When we get your dogs out here first we are able to truly vet them for other reactivities and see the dog’s behavior at face value in a neutral environment. Often there are underlying reasons for why your dog is reacting that we will see out here in a controlled environment where we can force lots of dog and people meetings. This also gives us a baseline to work off of and builds rapport between your dog and our trainer so when they go into the home (or a different problem area) with you the trainer has that baseline to work off of and is more comfortable taking the risks that need to be taken to advance training .
The process will start by us meeting you and your dog to see if the Board & Train Program is a good fit for everyone. Your dog will be assessed with our own dog Bosco and possibly other well-trained dogs. If we decide to move forward, your dog’s typical days will include:
BOARD & TRAIN ADVENTURE PACKAGE – 2 WEEKS
This program is recommended for owners that want their dogs to learn sit, stay, down, bed, loose leash walking and Recall (come) and other unwanted behaviors like jumping, barking, etc, and want their dogs to get a lot of play and socialization in a safe controlled environment.
BOARD & TRAIN SIGNATURE PACKAGE – 3 WEEKS
Everything included in the Adventure Package but due to the extra week we can add Distance, Distraction and Duration to all behaviors. The extra week also is best for nervous or reactive dogs.
Follow-Up Board and Train
When you dog comes back they will be trained each day. We do multiple sessions each day focusing on the areas your dog still needs help. You can do the follow-up Board and train for any length of time.
Minimum of 4 nights required. Call/text our office at 760-440-5025 or e-mail [email protected] to schedule your Follow-up Board & Train
HOUR SESSION
Whether it’s a part of a larger training program that includes board and train or private training at our facility is usually where we will start. Private training is usually the first step in the process to having a social and well-behaved dog. You will come to our Ramona facility where we will sit down and come up with a training plan. You and your dog will be trained in a fun and safe environment. We usually start with a playtime with other dogs in the pasture then move to the pool. After that, we will get into working on behaviors such as sit, down, stay, loose leash walking, passing dogs nicely, and recall, etc.
Online private sessions help those who live too far away to meet with our team in-person, or those who simply need a behavior assessment or help building a training plan. Set up a video session with Joel to ask questions, show us problem behaviors, seek advice, and get help.
