Professional Dog Training in Manteca, California

You love your dog. But right now, walks feel like a fight. Your dog pulls, lunges, or ignores you the second something more interesting shows up. Guests get jumped on. Commands get ignored. And you're starting to wonder if things are ever going to change.

 

They will and faster than you think.

 

At K9 Courage Dog Training in Manteca, CA, we help dog owners take back control so they can actually enjoy life with their dog again. No more dragging down the sidewalk. No more apologizing to guests. No more shouting commands that go nowhere.

Whether your dog needs a complete reset through our Board & Train program or you want to build skills yourself through private sessions, we'll build a plan around your dog, your goals, and your life.

 

Your dog isn't broken. They just need the right guidance and so do you. That's what we're here for.

Frequently Asked Questions |  Dog Training in Manteca

How much does dog training cost in Manteca?

We'll meet your dog, assess the situation, and recommend a program with clear pricing. Call (209) 247-1193 or fill out our contact form to get started.

Do you offer board and train in Manteca, CA?

Yes. Board & train is our most popular service. Your dog stays with us and trains daily in a structured, real-world environment. We offer programs ranging from 2 to 6+ weeks depending on your dog's needs. Learn more about Board & Train here.

What age can my puppy start training?

Puppies can start training as early as 8 weeks old. The first six months are the most critical window for building good habits, the earlier you start, the easier everything else becomes. See our Puppy Training programs.

Do you work with aggressive or reactive dogs?

Yes. We work with dogs that lunge, snap, growl, or show reactivity toward people or other dogs. An in-person evaluation is required so we can assess the behavior and build the right plan. These cases are typically handled through our board & train program.

Where do training sessions take place?

Training happens in real-world environments, local Manteca parks, public spaces, neighborhoods, and sometimes your home. We don't train in a bubble because your dog doesn't live in one.
