Companion Dog Training (CDT) was established by founder and training director Gina Esoldi in 2019. The training facility, fondly known as Rancho Cucciolo, sits on 1.5 beautiful acres in Escondido. Rancho Cucciolo provides the perfect training grounds for both on and off leash training, with its privately owned fully fenced dog park, enclosed and air conditioned training room, and doggy dormitory. Training your dog whether it be for a companion, therapy work, or service is about trust, communication and most of all relationship.
