"Scooter is fabulous. That dog has become a wonder dog, I mean it. Everywhere I go with him, ( which is pretty much everywhere I go), people ooh and ah about what a well-behaved dog he is." Alison, Poway

| Welcome! For private dog obedience training in your home, help for an out-of-control puppy, adult behavior modification, or board and train camp....Wonder Dog Training is located in Valley Center (North County San Diego), and serves Escondido, San Marcos, Rancho Bernardo, Carlsbad, Bonsall, Oceanside, Vista, Fallbrook, and Temecula. My Philosophy My name is Jennifer LaBar. It is my goal to help you create a relationship with your dog built on mutual trust and respect. Your dog is a member of your family and should be treated as such. All dogs benefit from a leader who is kind, fair, and consistent. Good leaders teach manners and insist on polite behavior. When you have established yourself as the leader, your dog will strive to respond to your direction. Understanding your dog and being able to clearly communicate your intentions are of equal importance to the training process. If you are speaking "human," and your dog is speaking "canine," it can be very difficult to bridge the gap. I teach you to communicate with your dog using hand signals, body language, and your voice. You will also learn why your dog does what he does, how he learns, and what motivates him to respond to your cues. As a positive trainer, I believe in using dog-friendly methods that engage a dog's natural temperament, abilities, and drives. When training is rewarding, dogs want to participate and learn; they also retain more, which is positive reinforcement at it's best. The results speak for themselves as evidenced by the numerous positive reports I have received from satisfied clients through the years. If you are one of those people who loves a story with a happy ending, you may enjoy reading my Testimonials page. Why Customized Training? Every dog is a unique individual. Some are shy, some are energetic, some are dominant, some behaviorally challenged. During the consultation, I consider such factors as your dog's temperament, breed, age, sex, general health, and history, and use this information to create a customized training plan that addresses obedience and behavior concerns. Techniques and tools can be adapted to suit individuals or situations as needed. Even the youngest members of the family can be involved! My BackgroundI bring my extensive experience in obedience training and behavioral consulting/modification, 18 years of education, and a genuine enthusiasm and sincere love of dogs to the training process. My education consists of a B.A. in Biology, Honors Certification in Dog Obedience Training from Animal Behavior Training Associates, and extensive coursework and seminars in Animal Behavior, Learning Theory, Veterinary Assisting, Holistic Health and Nutrition for Dogs. In addition to training canines, I have also had the privilege to work with the U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program (training dolphins and sea lions), the SLEWTHS project (training horses and sea lions), and Rare and Wild Animal Productions (training and caring for North American exotics). My interests are family companion animal training, behavior modification, and holistic health/nutrition for canines. Member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and the International Association of Canine Professionals.
