Real-Life Training for Real-Life Dogs

Looking for a board and train program in San Diego that actually works and feels good for your dog?

At The Everyday Trainer, we offer immersive board and train experiences from our home base in North Park, designed to help your dog reset, recharge, and learn how to exist calmly and confidently in the real world—while giving you the tools and support to keep that progress going at home.

At The Everyday Trainer, we help overwhelmed dog owners build better relationships through clear communication, consistent routines, and training that actually fits your lifestyle.

Why Choose a Board and Train?

Sometimes, your dog just needs a fresh start. Whether you’re dealing with reactivity, anxiety, leash pulling, or you’re simply overwhelmed with where to begin—a board and train program gives your dog the structure, clarity, and space to change.

We welcome your dog into our home and treat them like one of our own. While they’re here, they’ll experience:

  • Daily hands-on training built around calm behavior and clear communication

  • Real-world outings in and around San Diego, including North Park, Balboa Park, and local neighborhoods

  • Crate training, home manners, and confidence-building

  • Safe, thoughtful socialization with other dogs

  • Consistent leadership and a peaceful routine

By the time your dog returns home, they’ll have a new foundation—and you’ll have the guidance to keep building on it.

  • Loose leash walking (no more pulling!)

  • Reliable off-leash recall

  • Crate training and settling in the home

  • Calm greetings and impulse control

  • Exposure to new environments (city, parks, stores)

  • Confidence-building for nervous or insecure dogs

  • Behavior modification for mild to moderate leash reactivity

Each San Diego board and train program is fully customized, but often includes:

📍 Based in North Park, San Diego

 

We operate out of North Park, San Diego, with access to parks, neighborhoods, trails, and plenty of training opportunities in real-life settings. Your dog will stay in a safe, structured home environment—not a kennel or facility.

We intentionally keep our numbers small so each dog gets the time, care, and attention they need.

  • 2–3 week stay in our trainer’s home

  • Daily focused training sessions

  • Walks and outings around San Diego

  • Dog-to-dog socialization (if appropriate)

  • Crate training and calm indoor routines

  • Customized go-home lesson

  • 2 private follow-up lessons

  • Continued trainer support for lasting success

We don’t just train your dog—we teach you how to maintain the progress once they’re back home.
