At "Top Performance Dog Training" I have been professionally training dogs for over 15 years and I am a certified, experienced, knowledgeable professional. My vast experience with a wide range of dog owners, breeds, and behaviors allows me to tailor a training solution that is best for you and your dog. Each owner and their dog form a unique relationship, and no one training method is right for every situation. My goal is to analyze your situation and find the ideal training solution for you and your dog. I believe in educating both the dog and the owner, as both must work together in order to forge a healthy relationship. I strive to create this healthy relationship through my various training programs which utilize positive reinforcement methods.


I specialize in providing you with a training solution that best suits the needs of both you and your dog. Unlike many large boarding kennel operations that herd dogs through their time regimented programs like cattle, our programs focus on quality...not quantity. I will take the time necessary to properly teach you and your dog to achieve real, lasting results.

Be warry of these warning signs when choosing a training facility. These are sure fire indicators that something is amise:

! "The 2 Week Promise": Many facilities claim they can teach your dog in 2 weeks. This is not a realistic timeframe to properly train a dog and have it retain what it has learned. It will take several days just to get acclimated to the new environment. This time is stressful so training must start slowly with measured increases. A short training time only benefits the facility and not you by allowing them to train more dogs in less time which makes them more money with less effort.

! "Off-Leash Training": This is a misleading term and actually involves the use of an electronic collar. This method is not right for every dog. In order for a dog to benefit from this training method it must be of a certain age, maturitiy and temperament. We would conduct an initial consultation to determine if this training method is right for your dog. Attempting this type of training on the wrong type of dog may actually be detrimental.

! "False Advertising": Be careful of facilities claiming to be the best game in town when in fact they are nationwide businesses that are based out of state and may even outsource their training. When researching training ask where they are located and for local, verifiable reviews.

At the end of your leash was founded to provide a supportive family-style atmosphere, to effectively train dogs holistically through nutrition, obedience, play, socialization, and most of all, relationship.

As the driving force behind one of Southern California’s premier dog training centers, Jen has been training dogs nearly her whole life. Beginning as a fearless 6-year-old, Jen practiced horsemanship and, along with it, informal dog training. Her natural ability to understand and connect with animals as well as her passion for developing rewarding relationships between her canine clients and their human companions has contributed to her success as a professional dog trainer.

Jen’s years of experience and knowledge cover a diverse range of skills carefully studied with only the most accomplished in the industry.

In 1998, Jen began formal training under respected trainers and authors, George and Karen Duet. During these years, Jen learned everything from animal husbandry, zoonosis and sanitation, kennel management, proper dog and leash handling, on and off leash obedience, advanced obedience, conformation, home and family protection, business security and detection work, as well as therapy and service dog training.

Although Jen excels in basic obedience and problem solving, her passion is in helping our canine companions live longer, healthier lives. Studying nutrition and other modalities helps create true health and extend longevity. Her unique holistic approach to training treats the whole dog, delivering profound improvements from the inside out.

As a trainer known for working with all breeds and ages of dogs, Jen is recognized for helping clients understand the true nature within their companion. It is for these reasons that she continuously garners numerous referrals from top trainers across the country.

I love this place. My Weimaraner has a bit of separation anxiety, but he always walks into this place very happy. They saved my day a few times by being able to take my pup in last minute. Prices are also very fair. Staff is always super friendly and committed. I highly recommend this place.

4worldlovers: Welcome to I Heart K9! I'm Aleah, the owner, and head trainer. I discovered my passion for animals at a young age, and I have spent my life building on that passion. I received my BS in Animal Science from Cal Poly Pomona and a degree from Moorpark College in Animal Behavior, Wildlife Education, and Exotic Animal Training and Management

After college, I spent several years training dogs and wild animals for movies and television. The time I spent in the entertainment industry was an incredible experience. It is where I honed my training and behavior techniques, yet it lacked one crucial thing that I call "the unique human-animal bond." I grew to miss that one-of-a-kind relationship and connection that comes from working with canines. They are the only species that incorporate humans into their social structure, an individual trait that continues to fascinate me.

At I Heart K9, we deliver an all-encompassing approach that links behavior, training, and veterinary medicine.

Understanding Canine behavior leads to a better understanding of how dogs learn and what their body language is communicating to you. Implementing an effective training strategy builds on this understanding of behavior and allows us to express our expectations to the canine. As training progresses, it alleviates many of the frustrations and roadblocks commonly encountered by pet owners.

Veterinary medicine ensures a healthy approach to training by ruling out medical issues as the cause of unwanted behaviors. This approach has allowed us to encourage many puppies to be confident, respectful, and happy members of their families and society.

We also specialize in training "working-class" dogs, service dogs, civilian and police K9s (check out our Protection Dog Training page).

My goal as a K9 trainer and behaviorist is to teach you the skills to raise a confident, respectful, obedient, and, most important, a happy member of your family. Your dog will become a constant companion with whom you can share a strong bond and can trust in any situation.
