Our family highly recommends Aaron and InLineK9.
We reached out to Aaron because our puppy Mishka and I had gotten attacked at the local dog park.
Needless to say we were both scarred by the experience. Mishka specifically went from being the most joyous, playful, and carefree puppy to being more anxious, nervous and afraid of other dogs.
Aaron has a ton of experience training dogs that have gone through traumatic events. He took the time to answer all of our questions and explain things that we did not even know we should understand about Mishka and her behavior as well as interactions with other dogs and people.
We felt confident and comfortable about Mishka being with Aaron. He is very friendly, approachable and always available to contact. You can tell that Aaron loves what he does and that he sincerely cares about his clients both people and dogs alike.
Now that Mishka is back home, she is a completely new pup. You can see her confidence and happiness restored. She also learned a lot from the additional training. This has made our family much more confident and comfortable as well. Even our 4 yr old daughter is able to play, walk, and interact with Mishka just the way we had always wanted. And Mishka is able to spend more time inside the house with us. Mishka is also no longer scarred of other dogs. She understands when to play or to ignore them based on our instructions.
For anyone looking for dog training. Whether it’s basic on leash or off leash.. Or if you have a dog that’s been through trauma or has anxiety. You definitely need to reach out to Aaron. He is upfront and transparent about the program and the service is worth every penny of what you pay.
Thank you Aaron. From Mishka & My family.

We liked how he handled himself, friendly and professional.

Aaron has done AMAZING things with our pup Enzo. We dropped Enzo off with a list of problems and issues (peeing whenever and wherever he wanted, jumping on people/furniture, barking constantly, and didn’t have a clear understanding of the basic commands (sit, down, heel, place)) and when we got him back, he’s a completely different dog in the best way. Enzo now has the confidence he was clearly lacking prior to his training. Aaron is prompt with communication, gives weekly updates, sends pictures and videos, and sets clear expectations during training sessions. I highly recommend In Line K9 to anyone in the southern CA area. You won’t be disappointed! More...

I am the owner of a very stubborn, hard headed 5 year old Beagle. I completely lucked out when I found Aaron H. Not only is he an amazing well versed trainer, he seemed to really enjoy training my dog. I ended up hiring Aaron for an in-house 6 week session. While I missed my little guy profusely, it ended up being a fantastic way to kill two birds with one stone (my dog needed serious one-on-one training) and I needed to be trained as a leader (not a dog mom). Aaron was always available to answer a text or phone call. Throughout the 6 weeks, I visited a park near Aaron’s home. In each session, Aaron worked with me in conjunction with training my dog. I am a very happy, leader of my dog, who finally feels like I can give an honest reply when asked “who is walking who” More...

Aaron changed our dog's life! Our dog was struggling with fear that led to aggression. He attended the board and train program and he made so much progress. He is much more confident, as are we. While he still gets a little concerned around other dogs given his history, he now has a whole skillset to rely upon in those moments. We now feel comfortable bringing him out in public and even if another dog passes him, he stays focused on us. Aaron kept us posted throughout the program and then taught us everything our dog had learned so we could maintain consistency at home. We had previously worked with trainers who frankly were way too aggressive in their methods or were nice, but not equipped to work with a complicated dog. As a behaviorist + trainer, Aaron is the perfect mix of structure and kindness. It felt like he really understands our dog and treated him with so much kindness and respect which made us feel at ease. The results have been remarkable :) Thank you so much, Aaron!! More...

I have a boxer which does not have much confidence l. We were struggling to find the best method to calm her down and give her some peace. I attempted to work with three trainers prior and unfortunately their tactics did not help us. Aaron was extremely patient and worked with her. We are so proud and happy to see the results. She is a bit different than other dogs. With that said he was able to teach us ways to resolve the issues. Aaron was very transparent with us and continues to check in to make sure our pup is on the right track. If you are wondering if In Line is a fit im telling you its truly worth the investment. They truly go above and beyond. Thank you to all your efforts. More...

If you are on the fence, just do it, you will not regret it!!!! I cannot recommend this program highly enough! I was very unsure about shelling out so much and having my dog be away from home, but right from the start Aaron put our fears at ease.
Aaron is so helpful and explains things so clearly, never giving up or getting discouraged (with the dog or client).
We had used three other trainers and were close to giving up after our dog nipped a friend. I'm so glad we didn't because it turns out all we needed was a trainer who is willing to invest the time and energy in making sure we know how to engage our dog in the best way to help him be successful at home and in the community. Aaron helped our dog reset. He reviewed the basics our dog knew and taught him how to just be chill (a totally new experience for our pup).
Our dog came home so relaxed, trained, and ready to be part of the family. Now, weeks after the board and train our dog is still doing so much better!! What really makes Aaron worth the investment is his willingness to continue supporting our dog and family. When I noticed an old habit coming back, Aaron was quick to observe, offer corrections and actually teach me how to help my dog all while reassuring me. We are so grateful for Aaron taking on our wild dog and helping him and us have a relaxed and happy home. Aaron and InLine is the best choice we could have made for our dog and our family.

We are very pleased with the training that Cooper got from Aaron and Inline K9. Cooper was a 15 month rescue, lacking confidence, exhibiting guarding and separation anxiety issues, and lacking any social skills. In addition, he takes meds 2X daily for seizure control. Aaron had an immediate connection with Cooper. It was an easy decision to send Cooper to the Inline K9 training/boarding program. We got regular updates and videos and then had several in person meetings towards the end of the training to ensure future success for Cooper. Aaron has followed up regularly since Cooper returned home. The results are extremely positive, a well behaved dog and the tools to maintain. More...

Aaron and In Line K9 are fantastic. We adopted Lucy and quickly knew she needed intensive training. After calling numerous different trainers and hearing the same sales pitch my conversations with Aaron were exactly what I was looking for.
Aaron communicated clearly about his methods and was the only trainer to offer upfront pricing. He treated me like a person, not just a potential client.
He also explained that his services are not based on a specific amount of days, but on when the dog has mastered the skills. If a dog is stubborn or hard to train he continues to work with your dog until they are ready at no extra cost. Every other trainer I talked with this would have cost an extra 500-1000 dollars a week. His program accounts for the fact that not all dogs learn at the same rate and what we are paying for is not days, but a well trained dog. His job is complete when your dog is ready. Not based on a set number of calendar days.
Lucy has returned to us a completely different dog. She is still a puppy and has puppy tendencies but she now knows how to listen. We can't thank In Line K9 and Aaron enough for helping us create the dog that we hoped Lucy could be. Lucy has been place staying on her cot the entire time I wrote this review

My dogs, Cow and Mocha, have been back home with me for a little over a week and I am still shocked at how amazing their behavior is.
I will be the first to admit that my relationship with my dogs was not the healthiest. They ran the household and had began resource guarding me to the extent that we could not enjoy a neighborhood stroll, dinner with extended family members, and Amazon drop offs were hellish.
I was getting concerned that the resource guarding would lead to an altercation with another dog or an attack on a person/child. I reached out to Aaron and he was very thorough in explaining his training methods and provided us with the assurance that our dogs could be trained to become dogs of the world!
Each of my dogs had unique needs and at their core they both needed socialization, obedience training, and potty training. Cow needed to work on his confidence and was super scared of everything. Mocha was adopted by us a week before going to boarding school and she is an energy filled cooky puppy that needed reigning in.
Aaron worked with each of my pups and provided them the time, training, and lessons they would need to succeed. Mocha was ready to learn from day one but Cow was a whole other situation. It took him weeks to come out of his shell and overcome his fear. and Aaron did not give up.
Some of the specific things that convinced me to do training with Aaron was his training philosophy, dedication to quality training regardless of the time it took my dogs to learn, knowledge of obedience, willingness to answer questions, and his level of professionalism. During the training he remained in constance communication with me and this eased my anxiety in having my pups being away. He also made the transition back home seamless and equipped us with the knowledge we needed to succeed with training at home. We have remained in communication since my pups returned and he always answers our questions. Truly a top notch experience!

I cannot put into words how thankful I am for Aaron helping me with my puppy. Not only has he really helped me train my puppy, but he has also taught me so much about him, more specifically his breed and why he behaves the way he does. If you are looking for someone to train your dog, I highly recommend Aaron! More...
Brandon Goldberg
Extremely thankful for Aaron for not only his knowledge and experience but his patience during my dogs training process. Aaron was very communicative and a true professional throughout the entire process and made sure to send our pup home with a whole new set of manners. Thank you so much Aaron!! I would highly recommend sending your dog to InLineK9 for a worry free experience knowing your dog is being taken care of like one of his own. More...
Octavio Torres
There are no words for what Aaron has done for me and my family. We signed up for the advance board and train and It was life changing. Our golden retriever was becoming difficult for us and even jumping on kids and knocking them over, but Aaron came to our rescue. The knowledge Aaron has on all breeds and training tactics is unmatched . Not only do I feel extremely comfortable taking her to crowded public places, but at home it’s like a dream. Highly recommend using Aaron’s programs for all ages and breeds! Thank you again Aaron life changing. More...

We are so thrilled with the progress of our dog Asher. Thank you so much! Amazing service with great results!
Rosa Oroztico
There are not enough words to describe how thankful I am for Aaron and his team! I struggled with my one year old mix puppy who developed fear and anxiety.
It had gotten so bad that I was unable to even take him out of the house for walks around the neighborhood, he would bark anytime he heard someone nearby, and wasn’t following commands.
Out of desperation, I did my homework and researched several dog training companies. However, In Line K9 stood out to me and even more so because of Aaron’s quick responses and flexible availability. We had an in-home consultation where he was able to get a first hand look at Mickey’s troubled behavior. With my permission, he also brought a dog over that he trained and this was his “role model” so I can get a look at a before and after. Because of how severe Mickey’s anxiety had gotten, we opted for the 6-week program and I’m not going to lie, it was the hardest thing for me to not have my sidekick around me all the time. However, it did align with travel plans so it made sense on our end. During the 6-week period, Aaron and Elizabeth did a great job with keeping me updated on his progress and overall well-being. They sent pictures and videos and it made me feel so much more at ease.
Once Mickey was back home, it truly was a night and day difference. Walks are effortless, I take him to all my brunches and dinners, and he tags along to all of our shopping places.
Even after training is over, Aaron still keeps in touch and we’ve done a couple of sessions for maintenance.
If you have a dog who has anxiety, aggression, fear, or simply needs some touch ups with training, please do yourself a favor and contact Aaron. I promise you will not be disappointed.

What do you love most about your job?
Who wouldn’t love coming to work with a smile on their face and an enthusiastic “WOOF!"
I am so fortunate that I get to do what I love every day. The people, the dogs everything about this job makes me happy!
What inspired you to start your own business?
My dog was the one who introduced me to my passion. He taught himself how much more engaging and fun it can be when you have a furry friend by your side, so after he turned aggressive, we worked in canine-related industries together until I started helping other people find happiness with their pets too!
