EZ Pups on Polk Road in Alpine runs structured board-and-train programs in four-week and six-week formats, housing dogs on-site for immersive obedience and behavior modification sessions with weekly owner updates. Graduates of the board-and-train program often transition to maintenance grooming schedules at East County salons like Parkside Groomery on Vine Street in Lakeside, where the behavioral foundation makes salon handling significantly easier. Private lessons and group classes cover basic obedience, leash manners, off-leash recall, reactivity reduction, and puppy socialization for dogs aged 18 weeks through adulthood. Working-dog programs extend into protection training, patrol-dog foundations, bite-work development, and scent detection, with candidate sourcing available for clients who need a purpose-bred dog matched to mission requirements. Outdoor training rotations at locations like Louis A. Stelzer County Park on Wildcat Canyon Road provide variable-terrain recall practice across meadow, wooded trail, and elevation-change environments. The balanced training methodology layers marker-based reward timing over structured obedience commands, producing consistent off-leash recall at distances exceeding 100 yards in field-tested conditions.
