About

James and Allison Waite run Who's Walking Who? Dog Training in San Carlos, San Diego from 6205 Cowles Mountain Blvd, 92119, near the intersection with Blue Lake Dr. The operation offers private in-home lessons, board-and-train programs, obedience training, behavior modification, off-leash control, puppy foundation work, and aggression rehabilitation — all through one-on-one instruction with no group classes. Off-leash recall drills and place-command training move from controlled yard settings to real-world environments, and the San Carlos location puts trail-based distraction work within reach of the Cowles Mountain corridor and Lake Murray. The business also serves as San Diego County's exclusive distributor for Animal Food Services' raw diet line, and trainer James transitions board-and-train dogs to raw feeding during their residency — a nutrition protocol supported by the whole-ingredient sourcing at Wolf's Raw Dog Food on the same block. Board-and-train dogs ride along to private client sessions throughout the week, gaining exposure to different environments, handler energy levels, and distraction patterns that a single household cannot replicate. The place command — a stationary hold with a built-in stay — is the program's most-requested behavior, and Waite documents dogs holding position on park benches, commercial loading docks, and household furniture across his training feed. Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff balls, rated 5 out of 5 on the brand's canine durability scale, are the primary enrichment toy sold at the facility, made in the USA from non-toxic, recyclable materials that float and carry a mint scent. Clients who complete behavior modification or obedience programs with off-leash goals take their dogs to the open-field areas around Lake Murray Community Park for proofing sessions that test recall and boundary cues under real-world distraction. The 15-minute-a-day training commitment is the core owner obligation — Waite structures every program around short, repeatable practice blocks that fit into a working household's schedule. Puppy programs cover crate training, socialization thresholds, bite-inhibition shaping, and the foundational obedience cues that carry through the dog's adult training progression.
