Find a Dog Trainer in Vista

Will with Traction Dog Training came to our house to help us with leash reactivity for our rescue. It got to the point that it was stressful taking a walk because she lunged, and barked at other dogs. Will is wonderful, patient but firm. He was able to determine the cause of her lunging and gave us the tools to help us with Rosie. She’s much better, both her and I are happier. Will is accessible to us after training is over, and always has pointers and suggestions. I definitely recommend Traction Dog Training.

Wow! We boarded my husky, Quinoa, 2 weeks while my family and I were on vacation in Europe. My sister and mom went to check it out before to see how they liked it and came back with nothing but smiles. They loved how the staff were so attentive to owners and puppos alike! Such a happy vibe here, with golden retrievers being trained at every turn. Originally we were expecting to simply board her for 2 weeks, but it was suggested by the staff that we do the puppy version that includes some training. The difference in cost was pretty minimal, but wow, so worth it! Quinoa is a good girl, but she was a rescue from a family who didn't have much time for her, so she picked up some naughty habits as most doggies do. We've been working on some things with her, but she would tend to nip at us when she would get worked up and excited, and she would jump on us when we had grub, either for her to eat or just for ourselves. Needless to say, she needed to learn some manners, and our plan was to get some training when we got back from vacation (for both her and ourselves) so that she could be the best puppo she can be! So basically, we came back to such a well behaved lady and were in such shock! No more jumping, no crazy erratic nipping, and where did all this patience come from? I've fallen in love with my little girl all over again! Not only were the staff very quick to respond to our calls and emails while we were in Europe, they also sent us a detailed email and followed up with more info on a phone call letting us know what she learned and what they taught her, so that we could make sure we make her training worthwhile. Just a question.... are you guys hiring? Haha! Thank you for treating Quinoa so well! ** They groomed and bathed her right before pickup too!

We did basic with both dogs, therapy class with one and the rattlesnake clinic. These ladies are the real deal if you want your dogs trained properly! Totally worth the drive from Temecula!

Ali is amazing!!! She is fabulous with Otis (1.5 yr old black lab) and now is helping us get our 4 month old Hazel (yellow lab) settled in with the family. Patient and kind, Ali is awesome!! We simply adore her ����

Whether it’s boarding, grooming or day care, this place is amazing. I think my Boston likes being there more than being at home. Training is great too!
