Your dog doesn't live in a classroom. So we don't train in one.
Real-world group dog training in San Diego.
All Spot On group classes happen in real San Diego locations: the park, the brewery, the dog beach, the mall. All the places where basic obedience becomes tried-and-true behaviors.
Join the pack"All the Training We've Paid for Doesn't Seem to Stick."
Most dog training has a fatal flaw. You can do everything right — watch all the YouTube videos, graduate puppy class with flying colors, pay an arm and a leg for board and train — and still, the second you take your dog out in public, you're back to square one.
A dog who behaves in a perfectly controlled environment hasn't actually learned transferable skills. They've learned a skill in that setting. As soon as the environment changes, things go off the rails.
Take Your Dog Anywhere. Feel Proud Every Time.
Our group classes are small, real-world training sessions in and around Del Mar, California. Every class, your dog practices staying calm, focused, and social in the exact places you actually want to go.
Every class includes:
- At least two behavior skills
- One socialization activity
- Training on location
- A group of like-minded pet parents
Training That Fits Your Life. Not the Other Way Around.

Choose from 3 class types (mix and match)
Urban Puppy
Socialization & the Basics (for puppies 3-8 months)
These classes focus on socialization while practicing sit, down, stay, and other foundational skills. We introduce your dog to the world at their pace, building confidence through positive exposure to new people, places, and situations.
Urban Dog
Manners & Life Skills (for teens and adults 7+ months)
These classes focus on calm behavior and attention in public. We build reliability with basic commands without bribes and help prepare dogs for the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test.
Adventures
Hikes, Beaches, & Breweries (5+ months)
Adventures apply training in fun real-world settings such as pack walks, Del Mar beach, downtown La Jolla, and more. Students also become part of a supportive community of people who love their dogs as much as you love yours.

Puppies
Age 3–8 months
Welcome to puppyhood, where an adorable little creature bites your ankles, pees on your carpet, and treats your couch like a chew toy. It's a lot, but it goes faster than you think.
The good news is, you're right in the sweet spot for socialization. What you do in these early months matters more than almost anything else. Puppies who get positive exposure to new people, places, sounds, and situations during this stage grow into confident dogs.

Teenage Dogs
For dogs 7+ months, rescues, and dogs who need extra attention
The teenage phase is when your sweet, mostly-manageable dog starts ignoring you, dragging you across the street every time they see a squirrel, and going absolutely bonkers when guests come over. Or maybe you just adopted a rescue with a mysterious past who seems to be playing by their own rules.
Either way, you're in the right place. This is exactly what our group classes are built for.

Adult Dogs
For the dogs who aren't quite ready to go everywhere, and the owners who are done leaving them behind.
If your dog knows basic commands at home but "forgets" them in public, these classes are for you. Or maybe you've just moved to San Diego and want to enjoy the city with your dog by your side.
These classes are for dog parents who want their dog to come with them everywhere they can, without being embarrassed by barking, lunging, or other behaviors that can earn you some side-eye.
