The verdict
AbsoluteK9 is the dog training wing of Snug Pet Resort, located at 11339 Sorrento Valley Rd, San Diego, CA. For owners who want real, lasting results, whether that's a well-mannered puppy or a dog with serious behavior issues, it's our #1 recommendation in San Diego.
Programs offered
Board & Train
Your dog stays on site and trains every day with professionals in a structured routine. When training is complete, you get handoff lessons so the behavior carries over at home.
Puppy Training
Start right: potty and crate habits, socialization, leash manners and the foundation commands that prevent problem behaviors later.
Behavior & Aggression
Reactivity, leash aggression, fear and anxiety are where many trainers say no. AbsoluteK9 takes these cases on with a calm, structured approach.
What we liked
- One facility for training, boarding and resort care
- Takes on difficult behavior cases
- Owner handoff so results last
- Central Sorrento Valley location serving all of San Diego County
What customers say
"I can not say enough good things about Absolute K9 and Snug Pet Resort. I was having trouble with dog reactivity and had never had a dog in professional training. I am over 70 and felt for My safety and the safety of my dog I needed help. Aaron at Absolute K9 was his trainer and I couldn’t be happier with the results. It was HARD to have him gone for a month but it was well worth it. We had a private lesson last week and group lesson this week and I can honestly say I am sooooo happy with the results. I know that I have long term help if needed. Every email and Phone call for kennel checks were answered within a very reasonable time frame. My dog had shots at the vet there and she was a delight to talk with. All the front desk ladies and kennel personnel are professional and kind and everyone seems to genuinely care if your pet and the owner is happy. I highly recommend this place and am so happy with the results. I felt the price was fair and totally reasonable."
"Brian trained our dog Frankie for 3.5 weeks and did an amazing job. Frankie is now obedient, calm, and his guarding issues have improved so much, we no longer worry about aggression. We’re so grateful for Brian’s help and expertise! Would highly recommend their training program and boarding. They treat your pet like family."
