About Imperial County Canine Institute

What they offer

Imperial County Canine Institute in Brawley calls itself a one-stop shop for dogs, with training, boarding and grooming under one roof. Training starts with a free one-hour consultation to talk through your dog and the programs on offer.

Board and train programs

A 2-week program builds a foundation: basic manners such as sit, down, stay, place and leash walking, obedience commands and socialization with people and other dogs. A 4-week advanced program works toward reliable recall, off-leash control and obedience around real-world distractions. A 4-week behavior modification program is designed for dogs struggling with fear, anxiety or aggression, with confidence building and a plan built around the dog's triggers. Each program includes owner hand-off sessions and ongoing support.

Working dogs and boarding

The institute also runs detection, tracking and patrol dog handler courses in Brawley for people heading into law enforcement, security or search and rescue work. Boarding is staffed around the clock, with indoor climate-controlled space, playtime and optional training refreshers during a stay.
