Pet Boarding Training near Fallbrook

“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 you’re looking for obedience training, leash training, or dog behavior correction in Valley Center or North County San Diego, we 10/10 recommend this place!“

“Everyone is very nice and they were the only vets who have helped my dog. She was having terrible itchy skin problems.“

“I’ve been taking private lessons with Nick for a German shepherd I recently brought into my home. She’s been my first high drive dog and I needed help satisfying all her needs. He’s made the process so easy and fun and it’s helped me create such a good relationship with her. I drive an hour out of my way to come to lessons and it’s WELL worth it. The whole team there is super friendly and welcoming. And shout out to Keelan for being so helpful with all my scheduling needs!“

“The staff at this location was very friendly and knowledgeable. On what my needs were and made my dog feel at home..“

“Alan and Shelly and the rest of the staff at Shadalane are truly fantastic. They gave us an exceptional experience while helping us choose our new fur baby. After losing our 7 year-old Golden Retriever to cancer, they thoughtfully paired us with Callie and we fell in love with her instantly. Alan and Shelly welcomed us like family and genuinely understood how deeply the loss of our golden had affected us. Alan even took the time to share helpful training tips and a novel he wrote about Golden Retrievers, which can be incredibly beneficial as we train Callie. They were absolutely right about Callie being the perfect fit for our family, she has completely melted our hearts. She is beautiful, intelligent, and a loving cuddle bug, and Chris and I couldn’t be happier! I highly recommend Shadalane to anyone looking for a golden who is truly focused on finding the perfect golden while treating you like family.“

“Shannon is amazing. I am currently in training with her for my doberman, who was displaying some scary behavior. Shannon is very knowledgeable and disciplined in her approach and gives you tools (and a book to study!) that will help your dog and YOU to be a better dog owner. I wish I had met Shannon years ago!!!! My good friend has her husky with her, another good friend her malti poo. If I could give more stars, I would.“
