Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.

Is it necessary to pre-register for the puppy class that's held on Sundays at 9 am ?

Yes. It is important for me to talk to the owner, and find out a bit about the puppy before class. There are age limits, and some health information that I like to communicate to owners. I can be reached on my business phone at 619 466 5098

I absolutely love taking classes with Carol at Educated Pet. Carol has years of knowledge and she can very quickly help you and your dog get on the same page. Priceless!

I have worked with Carol and Mike at The Educated Pet with three dogs now. They always give frank and accurate guidance. Classes are fun and very reasonably priced.

Best place ever! So glad I found out about it. Carol & Mike are great. Love their approach. They have taught me how to communicate with my dog. It really should be called The Educated Pet Parent.

Carol's great! We have taken a few of our dogs here for everything from Puppy Kindergarten to more advanced training. We've had nothing less than a wonderful experience.
