Dog Tired San Diego

This review is long overdue, but I truly can’t say enough amazing things about Sara and Dog Tired. Last June, we were completely at our wits end with our 7 month old puppy, Kuma, who had been showing serious resource guarding behaviors since we got him at 11 weeks old. We had already worked with another trainer for months with little progress, and I was pregnant and very worried about bringing a baby into a home with a dog who was aggressive around food and treats. Rehoming him felt like a real possibility at that time which was so hard to imagine. After endless research of dog trainers in San Diego who could handle this type of issue, a friend at our dog park recommended Dog Tired, and Sara. From our very first call, Sara was confident, knowledgeable, and reassuring…she clearly had ex

Sara worked magic with my reactive dog, Loki. I have experience training dogs but had never had a reactive dog. I couldn't get Loki where he needed to be to enjoy life out and about in the world. After spending time with Sara in Dog Tired's board and train program, Loki is a new dog. We can be around people and dogs without an issue. Loki has been the best boy even in difficult circumstances like other dogs getting in his space while on a walk. If you're having a behavioral issue with your dog, I highly recommend a consult with Sara to determine how she can help your dog and you. Sara even provides follow up training for YOU so you can be the best partner for your dog.

My 11 month old pitbull/husky/german shepherd mutt of puppy just finished almost 4 weeks of board and train with Sara. Rocky is a good dog but has boundless energy he isn’t sure what to do with despite the endless exercise we have. He would pull my other (much smaller) dogs leash, jump on me and play bite. He is super friendly and would pull towards every dog and person he saw. He likes to “scream bark” when he wants something and couldn’t be in public without causing a scene. At home he is a shoplifter and always finding items to rip up. My other dog is much older and he doesn’t understand when she is “done”. He always means well but was just lacking any manners. The difference in Rocky after training with Sara has been amazing. He has only been home one week, and he’s still a silly, ene

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We feel so lucky to have found DTSD! Our dog absolutely adores them—tail wags nonstop when he arrives. He stayed at his house for two weeks while we were away, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. On top of that, he takes our dog on weekly beach outings, and he always comes back tired, content, and clearly loved. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in the best hands.

We adopted our first rescue bull terrier and needed some guidance. We were referred to Sara by a work colleague. So incredibly grateful for the referral as Sara is amazing. Everything is positive, positive, positive. Her methods are current, and she is so encouraging not only to the dog but to us as well. She really helped Millie gain her confidence. We would recommend Sara and Dog Tired to anyone needing some help with their fur baby. It really was a great experience.
