Gilroy Dog Training That Actually Works
If you’re here, something probably isn’t working.
Maybe your dog pulls on the leash, ignores commands, or reacts to other dogs. Or maybe you just want to start your puppy off the right way and build a solid foundation from the beginning.
At Primal Canine, we don’t rely on guesswork or cookie-cutter programs.
We build structured training systems around clear communication, consistency, and accountability—so both you and your dog understand exactly what’s expected.
We work with everything from puppies and family dogs to more advanced behavior cases.

Board and Train Programs in Gilroy
Our board and train programs are the most effective way to build reliable obedience and address behavior issues quickly and consistently.
Your dog lives and trains directly with us, allowing us to:
Build structure and communication from the ground up
Address unwanted behaviors with consistency
Create meaningful progress in a shorter amount of time
This program is ideal for:
Busy owners who need professional guidance
Puppies that need a strong foundation early on
Dogs struggling with reactivity, poor engagement, or lack of control
After the program, we transition everything back to you through hands-on coaching so you can maintain and build on your dog’s training long-term.
Private Dog Training Lessons in Gilroy
We offer private lessons for clients who want to be hands-on in the training process.
These sessions are designed to:
Improve obedience and engagement
Strengthen communication between you and your dog
Address common behavior issues step-by-step
Private lessons are a great starting point, and many clients choose to combine them with board and train programs for faster progress.
Puppy Training & Foundations
Starting early makes everything easier.
Our puppy training programs focus on:
Building engagement and focus
Creating structure and routine
Preventing unwanted behaviors before they develop
Whether you’re raising your first dog or adding a new puppy to your home, we’ll help you build the right foundation.
Behavior Modification & Advanced Training

This includes:
Reactivity (barking, lunging, over-arousal)
Lack of control or engagement
More serious behavioral challenges
Our approach focuses on identifying the root of the behavior and building a structured plan to improve control and stability.
