San Diego Dog Trainer – Teaching Dog Owners Around the World to Be Better Leaders in their Lives as a Whole
Would you like to have a dog that comes to you every time you call them, sits when you ask, downs anywhere, and will go to their bed when guests arrive – instead of jumping on them? Then remote collar training is one of the best and most simple communication devices to teach great skills to your dog. In addition to a solid understanding of how to motivate, fulfill, and properly lead your dog, remote collar training can neutralize all handlers in the dog’s home, making you just as meaningful and believable as your partner, spouse, or children.
Home2K9 Dog Training and Rehabilitation is based in San Diego, but serves dog owners and dog trainers around the world through our virtual business coaching programs, and virtual dog training services. Those who have exhausted all other possibilities locally, but are still struggling with their dog’s behavior, have found success through our in person and online coaching, as well as the FREE content we share. A key ingredient of our exemplary Board & Train programs is your access to our first choice training tools, the prong collar and modern remote collar. When used correctly, these tools can change lives, and literally save dogs.
What our clients are saying about H2K9
The results have been beyond belief. Immediately I could let Zoe off leash in wide open parks around my home and she was great! She always came back when called. This allowed her to play with my other dog until they were totally tired. It also changed their relationship- the older dog didn’t know how to relate to Zoe but now the two are best buds because they play together in the park two or three times a day.

Cameron Thompsen of Home 2K9 literally saved my sanity. Angus is our fourth Boxer so I really thought I had the training part down. Cam started Angus and I on an intensive, personalized training program tailored specifically for our needs. There was an amazing improvement in Angus’s ability to stay calm and pay attention that first night and it has been a daily improvement ever since.
I was referred to Home2k9 by my daughter who had been following Cameron on Facebook. She had told me Cameron sounded amazing! She was right!! When we got our English Bulldog puppy at 8 weeks I called her immediately and signed up for training. We started at 9 weeks and he progressed so quickly I couldn’t believe it. Cameron is so knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. She speaks clearly, is passionate about what she does and explains things so well.
In one 90 minute introductory training session Cam evaluated his temperament and personality, started teaching us how to deal with his positive and negative behavior, had started our education on how to be calm confident pack leaders and had puppy in a calm state of mind. We were all blown away with the turn around in his behavior after just one lesson. Read full review here.
After 1 hour with Cameron, I truly have a completely different dog. I have a 7 month old Black Lab, River. She is sweet and eager to please, but she’s a Lab, and has more energy and zest for life than she, and I, know what to do with. Cameron was able to pin point River’s patterns of behavior, and implement techniques and tools that were so easy to understand. I am so happy with our experience… Read full review here.
Cam is honestly the best thing we could have done for Sprocket AND for us. She’s amazing with the dogs, but also fantastic with the owners. She helped us to better understand our four-legged family member and has completely changed the dynamic if our home – and it’s only been a few days. Read full review here.
