Here’s how we do dog training at LifestyleK9.

Training isn't just about commands; it's about crafting a lifestyle where everyone thrives!

More than just 'sit' and 'stay,' my focus is on creating a truly customized program for both you and your dog, a program that will teach your dog the skills necessary to succeed in your lifestyle. We'll dive deep into a well-rounded training experience, addressing not only the essentials like name recognition, 'down,' potty training, and house boundaries, but also refining crucial skills like crate training, mastering loose leash walking, long line control, and place work.

Lifestyle K9 School

Our program offers a unique blend of training and daycare, designed like a structured school for your dog. They'll experience focused learning with the trainer, working on essential skills such as neutrality, obedience, socialization, and proper manners. Training sessions are thoughtfully spaced throughout the day to maximize engagement, personalized learning to your dog needs, and proper rest.

But it's not all work! Your dog will also participate in monitored social playtime and special adventures activities throughout the week, where they can interact with other dogs in a safe and supervised environment. We also make sure they get plenty of rest to recharge.

To keep you connected and reassured, we post photo and video updates on our instagram throughout the day, so you can see your dog's progress and how much fun they're having! It's like getting a glimpse into their school day.

We're open for drop off from 9:00am 9:30am and pick up from 5-6pm, so you can easily fit training and daycare into your schedule. Our program is offered Monday through Friday.

Private lessons

Get one-on-one coaching tailored to you and your dog. Whether you're working on obedience, leash reactivity, or specific behavior challenges, private lessons (60 minutes each) give you the hands-on help you need. Sessions take place in your home or in an environment relevant to your dog's training, so we can focus on what matters most to you. You'll learn exactly how to communicate with your dog and handle any situation with confidence.

Board and Train

Our Board and Train program offers the fastest way to get real, lasting results with your dog. Your furry companion will stay with me, Lya, in a structured, training-focused home environment, so you can be sure they'll receive lots of personalized attention and care. This immersive experience is perfect for when you're traveling, on vacation, or simply want the best for your dog's training.

While they're with me, your dog will receive adventure and personalized training based on their needs and your goals. We work on obedience, confidence, and behavior in real-world settings around San Francisco. I know how important it is for you to feel at ease, so I prioritize your peace of mind by posting photo and video updates on our instagram throughout the day, so you can see their progress and how happy they are!

This program is perfect for those who want a strong, tailored training foundation for their dog, without the stress of doing it all themselves. I'll handle the intensive training, and then I'll equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to maintain their progress. When your dog returns home, they'll be more confident, responsive, and ready to fit seamlessly into your family's lifestyle
