45+ Years of Combined Professional Training Experience

Pacific Pet Resort™’s Dog Training partner, Specialty Dog Training, is Southern California’s Elite training company. SDT believes in helping you create an unbreakable bond with your dog and a relationship of love and mutual respect. We also believe in utilizing positive reinforcement, structure, appropriate and humane discipline and good clear communication between you and your pet to achieve the finest results. Your canine is unique for many reasons: breed, age, appearance, genetics, environment, past experiences and general personality. For this reason, we believe in customizing canine training programs that fit your puppy and your lifestyle.

SDT also believes in giving back!! We are partnered with local rescues and other wonderful charities to give back where we can. Our most prominent relationships are with Carmel Mountain Ranch Veterinary Hospital and our very own non-profit Shelter to Soldier™. We are continuously giving back to our community, our military and pets in need.

SDT Bootcamp Programs

What is a boot camp? Is a boot camp right for me and my pet(s)? It is also often referred to as “in-board training”,  “in-kennel”, “dog board and train” and “training camp.”

SDT specializes in creating an unbeatable learning environment in a safe, fun and interactive environment for your 4-legged family member(s). We all lead busy lives and often don’t have the time it takes to get great results. Our team of trainers understands that it isn’t a lack of desire but rather just an issue of not having the time. We take your family member into our loving and structured environment and teach him/her new boundaries and commands and deal with all behavioral issues. SDT also specializes in training therapy and service dogs with our programs. Bootcamp isn’t magic. It is hard work, repetition, consistency, compassion, timing, and a ton of patience. However, having professionals that have been working with dogs for more than 18+ years spend a few weeks with your canine(s) can change your life! We can teach your puppy to obey you and your obedience commands so that you can enjoy your family pet to his/her fullest potential.

Why leave your pup at home when he/she is trained well enough to be out in public enjoying a family function, lunch at an outdoor cafe, or a nice off-leash hike at one of the many beautiful locations in sunny Southern California…or anywhere for that matter? Our boot camps allow us to remove your canine from an environment that he/she isn’t fully succeeding in and create some new positive behaviors that make owning a pet more enjoyable. Take the stress off of yourself and allow our professional trainers to lay a foundation of control that you never thought was possible.

Elite San Diego dog boot camp training is just a phone call away, so don’t push it off any longer. Call our team of expert trainers and get the help you need and deserve.
