About Iron Paw Dog

What they offer

Iron Paw Dog is a home-based training program in Rancho Bernardo that specializes in board-and-train. The trainer has worked professionally for six years, starting as an apprentice and moving into leadership roles at training facilities in San Diego before opening this program.

Training focus

Programs cover basic and advanced obedience, remote collar and off-leash control, and behavior modification for aggressive or reactive dogs. The approach is structured and balanced, tailored to each dog, with the goal of clear communication between dog and owner.

Getting started

Visits are by appointment. Ask how long a board-and-train stay lasts and how the handover lessons work.
