What they say about themselves
Dynamite Dogs Training and Grooming is run by founders Erin and Paul, who personally oversee the board-and-train program—taking dogs home with them after daytime training sessions to relax and socialize with other program dogs. According to their website, the trainer holds a Certified Professional Dog Trainer credential (CPDT-KA), is a Certified CGC Evaluator, and serves as an NACSW Associate Nose Work Instructor.
The Murrieta facility includes an air-conditioned training space and a separate self-serve dog wash area with elevated ceramic tubs, temperature-controlled water, high-velocity dryers, and salon-grade supplies. They describe their self-wash station as among the most well-equipped in the Inland Empire.
Their training offerings span private lessons, day training, board-and-train, and puppy programs addressing common issues like leash pulling, jumping, and separation anxiety. They also run a multi-phase K-9 Nose Work program covering foundation scent work through environmental searches, with preparation for AKC competition. The site describes their approach as "structured, balanced, and humane," emphasizing assessment of behavioral triggers and household dynamics before building a customized plan. They state that owner education is central to lasting results, and that they focus on private and program-based formats rather than group classes. Full grooming services are also available, including baths, deshedding, nail trims, and medicated treatments.
Group classes cover puppy basics, obedience, nosework, and CGC prep, with courses running four to six weeks. Dynamite Dogs Training and Grooming also offers private lessons and two board-and-train options: a three-week day training program for adolescent dogs with impulse control issues, and a residential program for reactivity or high-drive breeds needing more structure.
Group classes range from $179 to $199 per course, with puppy training at the higher end and basic obedience slightly lower. Nosework courses run $180 for six weeks, with continuing sessions at $30 each. Pricing for private lessons and board-and-train programs isn't published.
