Ruff: Pawtopia Dog Training in San Diego

So you just welcomed home a new puppy or maybe you’ve nobly rescued an older one. Your life feels complete. You wake up to a snuggly buddy. You spend your afternoons strolling hidden paths with your new pal. You come home from a long day to a happy grin and an endearing woof. 

Every pooch owner lives for these joys, but they also know the aggravation of having to reprimand a troublemaker. The adjustment phase of a new dog to a home can be exhausting, a phase that most pup-lovers wish they could bypass.

But fear not, San Diego’s got some top of the line trainers to bring peace to the pup chaos and make any transition period as smooth as possible. Pawtopia Dog Training features two striking top-notch trainers with specialty programs created just for your little pooch. Their methods are innovative and one of a kind; they hold on to the virtue that all dogs discover their good-behavior skills differently, at their own pace, just like us. Pawtopia takes the time to really get to know both you and your dog’s individual personalities, what your goals are, and how to reach success together. Take action now and call 800.683.7107!

Founder Colleen Demling is a pooch-loving pro with years of experience and trainings under her belt. She’s proud of her 6500+ hours of hands-on dog training experience in a variety of methodologies with all kinds of dogs, big and small. She’s also one of only a handful of trainers in San Diego that is a Certified Pet Dog Trainer (CPDT) and an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. Colleen’s got the expertise and reputation to rescue you from all your dog worries, including a membership in a select group of training and behavior advisors for Muttropolis

Colleen’s teamed with another young and adorable dog expert Zoe Stathis, who specializes in “in-kennel” training and a hands-on approach. Through the Pawtopia system, you’ll find more than enough ways to get your dog galloping on the right track. Group classes lead to mixing and mingling with the other pups while picking up some basic obedience commands. In no time, your furry friend will be boding well with the sit, down, sit stay, down stay, come, heel, and “go to your place” commands. 

A basic obedience class runs for five weeks, teaching proper leadership skills for the 16 weeks and up all the essentials for a happy home. In the advanced obedience class, also known as the Canine Good Citizen Course, your dog will be brushing up his responsiveness around distractions and off-leash obedience. The class is intended to prepare your scruffy pal for the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) exam, administered the 5th week of the class.

We all know that San Diego isn’t just green grasses and fluffy dog beds stuffed around every corner. With this city’s energy and busy vibe, you’ll want to try the Paws Pounding Pavement training class meant for urban training in just 5 weeks. Through a variety of locations downtown, Pawtopia will work on the advanced commands that give owners the confidence to walk their dog through urban environments, crowds, and stores and everywhere in between. 

And for the most personalized experience, private in-home training is an option encouraged to tailor to your family’s needs. In a comfortable environment your pooch knows and loves, Pawtopia’s trainers come at your convenience with tricks, tips, and lots of treats. Learn more at pawtopiatraining.com/services.
