IQ K9 Training

We sent our two dogs to a 3-week board and train program at IQK9 in Valley Center and the results were incredible! Our dogs came home more obedient, calm, and confident — they now respond to commands, walk beautifully on leash, and no longer jump on people or fight with each other. The dog trainers at IQK9 in Valley Center are amazing — you can tell they truly care about every dog and have years of professional dog training experience. The whole process was easy, clear, and very well-organized. They even trained us during pickup so we understood how to stay consistent at home. This made all the difference because it is so important for us to continue their training at home to instill everything they learned. Our dogs absolutely loved their trainers and were so happy the entire time. If y

It’s a shame that the highest rating you can give is 5 stars, because 5 stars doesn’t even begin to reflect the professionalism, kindness, and dedication that everyone at IQ K9 embodies. We sent our dog Mylo for a 3 week board and train and it was the most incredible, life changing experience for us. It was obvious that each trainer was not only knowledgeable, but had truly taken the time to get to know and work with Mylo, however, it didn’t stop there. The entire staff also helped work with us after training to ensure we had the knowledge to continue his skills at home. Through our interactions you could tell that each staff member truly cared for each individual animal there and loves what they do. 100/10 recommend IQ K9 to anyone inquiring about their services!

We had our Malinois do their board and training service. We had a great experience and learned so much from IQK9. We also got more training from IQK9 after we added a Dutch Shepherd into our family. IQK9 is the only place we trust to board our boys when we have to go out of town. They have so much fun. Our Mal literally whines from excitement when we get to their facility. We just know that they will be well taken care of and be mentally/physically stimulated. I also appreciate that they send photo updates.

I dropped my then 8 month old Cane Corso puppy off for the 2 week board and train program and have been raving about IQ K9 Training to anyone who will listen since! Blueberry is a smart dog (proud mommy’s opinion) but that also meant she learned just how much she could push back before I’d just let her do her. The training began on my very first phone call to simply inquire about the programs they offered. I had a very thorough call with Stani and she even gave me a few pointers to start implementing right away. That was my first WOW moment with IQ K9 Training. I was given helpful advice without the promise of my dog participating in their program. That’s typically unheard of! But that wasn’t the only time. I signed Blue up for the training and even before her first day, Luis not only sent

We were sooooo nervous about leaving our baby girl with strangers at boarding school, but after grilling Luis and reading every review we could get our hands on, we braced ourselves and took the leap. Best investment we ever made. Mulligan learned so much in her two weeks of boot camp that all (!) we had to do was be good at reinforcing her lessons at home. She’s got a reputation now as the best-behaved dog in the neighborhood, and the quality of the time we spend with her is greatly enhanced. We have joyful walks now instead of battles of wills. When company cones to the door, she goes cheerfully to her “place” until she’s released to welcome them in. Perhaps most telling of all was her response when we brought her back to IQ-K9 for her follow up lesson — she couldn’t wait to get out of t
