Puppy Training & Dog Training Courses
At Inception K9 Academy, we understand that not all dogs are the same and that they have different personalities. That is why we use science and psychology to help you to train your dog. This is achieved by using science-based training methods. These methods help you to build clear communication and understanding with your dog. Achieving clear communication and understanding with your pet will make your training go easier, faster, and enhance your relationship with your pet. Because we use these methods, you have the peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving customized training to suit your dog's personality and way of thinking.
Our dog training courses give you the results that you’re looking for. Check out the types of classes we offer and contact us to schedule your one-on-one dog training experience today. We offer our dog training classes and private lessons in San Diego, Encinitas and Escondido, CA.
Puppy Training Course
Our Puppy Training Course is one of the most advanced obedience courses of its kind. This puppy training course is for puppies 18 weeks to a year old. In this course you will learn everything you need to know about your puppy (overcoming fears, confidence building, crate training, potty training, nipping/biting, exercise, nutrition, grooming, etc.), cover everyday basic obedience commands (sit, down, heel, loose leash walk, wait, leave it/drop it, come, etc.), as well as other commands both on and off leash. For this course, we will meet up for one-hour a week for eight weeks. If you would like to know more information about this course as well as pricing, click Here and you will be directed to our Puppy Training Course page.

Dog Training Course
Just like our puppy training course, our Dog Training Course is also one of the most advanced dog obedience courses of its kind. This course is for dogs one year and older. The course covers everyday basic obedience commands (sit, down, heel, loose leash walk, wait, leave/drop it, come, etc.) as well as other commands both on and off leash. The course will also cover nutrition, health, and address any other at-home issues that may arise during the dog training course. For this course, we will meet for one-hour a week for eight weeks.

Off Leash Course
Our Off Leash (Education-Collar) Dog Course is designed for those pet owners who want to take their dog training to the next level. It is an advanced course that is designed to help control your pet during off leash situations. Some of the situations in which you can use an education-collar for are playing at the park/beach, hiking, personal protection, or just everyday obedience commands in and out of the home. With our off leash course, we ensure that you receive the proper training on how to utilize your education-collar as well as provide the upmost in safety of your pet.
How does it work?
If you have completed our Puppy Training Course or Dog Training Course, then great! We can get started right away with training. If you haven't completed one of our courses, that's okay. What we will do is set up a date and time to conduct an evaluation of your dog's obedience capabilities in a distracted environment. If your pet is able to conduct all the commands proficiently, in a distracted environment, and without rewards (verbal and physical praise are acceptable), then we will accept your pet into this course. If your pet is not able to pass these tests, then the trainer will recommend that you take one of our obedience courses or conduct a few private lessons before beginning this course. The evaluation is $50 for a 30-60 minute evaluation. Once the trainer has completed the evaluation, the trainer will then discuss your training options with you. If you would like to know more information about this course as well as pricing, click Here and you will be directed to our Off Leash Course page. If you are ready to sign up for the course, click on Sign Up and one of our representatives will contact you to schedule your training dates and times.
Private Training Lessons
Our private training lessons are for those pet parents that are seeking out additional training that is not covered in any of our dog training or puppy training courses. If you have an issue, would like to go over some of the basics again, or want additional training, then private lessons is the way to go. With private training lessons, we will first start out with a 30-60 minute evaluation. There is a $50 fee for this evaluation. After the evaluation, the trainer will then discuss your training options, come up with a training plan, and tell you about our package deals. If you have any questions, you can click on Contact Us. If you are ready to have one of our representatives come out and conduct an evaluation of your dog, click on Sign Up and one of our representatives will contact you to schedule you evaluation date and time.
