### San Diego
- San Diego, CA: San Diego is a city that lives outdoors, and its dogs come along for most of it.

## Programs

- Puppy Roadmap: for young dogs; private lessons at home first, then real-world sessions as the puppy grows.
- Executive Training: the core program; private in-home lessons that graduate into real-world sessions with the trainer.
- Jump Start: board and train; the dog stays with a trainer to build the foundation, then the owner takes over.
- Aggression Management: for fearful, confused, reactive or aggressive dogs; clear leadership and a stronger bond.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- Q: Is the free in-home consultation really free?
  A: Yes. A Got Sit trainer drives to your home anywhere in North County, from Oceanside to Poway, meets your dog and works with your dog on the spot so you can see the method before you commit to anything. The trainer also brings one of their own trained dogs, like Kim's Keiko or Hunter's Lokai, to show you the finished result. Then they recommend a program. There is no obligation.
- Q: Where does Got Sit train dogs in San Diego?
  A: In your home first, then out in the real world. Your living room, your front door and your own street are the classroom. Once your dog listens there, your trainer takes the lessons to Carlsbad sidewalks, Encinitas beaches, Escondido parks and Poway trails. We serve coastal and inland North County plus the I-15 corridor communities of north San Diego city, and the trainer always drives to you.
- Q: What problems can in-home dog training fix?
  A: Jumping on guests, excessive barking, bolting out the door and ignoring recall, destructive chewing, separation anxiety, leash pulling, soiling the house, nipping, counter surfing and aggression or reactivity toward other dogs and people. Your trainer evaluates your dog at the free consultation and builds one program that covers all of it, rather than treating each behavior as a separate project.
- Q: Which training program is right for my dog?
  A: There are four. Puppy Roadmap for young dogs, Executive Training for private in-home lessons that graduate into real-world sessions, Jump Start board and train for owners who want a trainer to build the foundation first, and Aggression Management for fearful, confused or reactive dogs. Your trainer recommends one after meeting your dog at the free in-home consultation, never over the phone.
- Q: Do you train all breeds, sizes and ages?
  A: Yes. Our trainers work with eight-week-old puppies, adolescent rescues and senior dogs, and with everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. Kim's own dog Keiko is a Cattle Dog and Pitbull mix, and Hunter's Lokai is a Border Collie and Golden Retriever mix. There are no bad dogs, only bad communication, and the method is the same whatever the breed.
- Q: How is Got Sit different from other dog trainers in North County?
  A: We do not ask you to drop your dog at a facility for a lesson in a quiet room. Training happens one-on-one where the problems happen: your kitchen, your front door, the walk around your block in Vista or San Marcos, then busier places like Carlsbad Village or the Oceanside harbor. The results hold up because they were built around the distractions your dog actually faces.
