What they say about themselves
Cali K9 was established in 2009 by founder and head trainer Jas Leverette. The website describes more than 15 years of professional experience and work with more than 10,000 dogs, including family pets, service dogs, sport dogs, and working law-enforcement K9s. Jas's background includes equine training and competitive dog sports. Cali K9 states that he is certified in Schutzhund, IPO, and PSA decoy work and has titled dogs in IGP and PSA competition.
Training is available through Board and Train, Private Lessons, Group Classes, Virtual Training, and an initial Consultation. The live website currently advertises a two-week Board and Train and four-week Elite Board and Train, with the active Elite checkout displaying $6,997. A separate returning-client store lists a one-week Board and Train for $997. In-person packages combine Private Lessons with semi-private and standard Group Classes plus Zoom-based Virtual Training. The dedicated in-person page currently lists packages at $1,497, $2,497, and $4,997.
Cali K9 describes its proprietary 5-Pillar System as motivational-based training centered on obedience, socialization, agility, behavior management, and problem solving. The current website also references positive reinforcement, structure, communication, consistency, and trust. Aggression, human aggression, resource guarding, reactivity, anxiety, puppy development, and off-leash reliability are explicitly addressed. The website advertises guaranteed results, although detailed guarantee terms or remedies are not provided on the pages reviewed.
Consultations and evaluations before you commit to a program.
A one-on-one consultation where a Cali K9 specialist evaluates the dog's behavior and provides a custom training roadmap and program recommendation. Conducted in person or via Zoom, lasting about 20 minutes.
Best for: New clients unsure which program fits their dog, including cases involving aggression, anxiety, or reactivity.
Focus: Aggression, Leash reactivity, Fear & anxiety, Basic obedience
Cali K9 offers Board and Train, Private Lessons, Group Classes, semi-private Group Classes, Virtual Training, and Consultation services. Current Board and Train options include two-week and four-week programs, plus a one-week returning-client option. In-person packages bundle multiple delivery formats, while separate semi-private and returning-client Group Classes are also available. Training addresses obedience, aggression, reactivity, anxiety, puppy development, and off-leash work.
The Consultation evaluation costs $27. Current Board and Train pricing includes $997 for a one-week returning-client program and $6,997 for the four-week Elite program on the active checkout page; a two-week option is advertised but its price is not exposed on the page reviewed. In-person packages are $1,497 for 12 sessions, $2,497 for 24 sessions, and $4,997 for VIP. Online programs cost $497 or $997. The dedicated in-person program and checkout pages currently list the Elite In-Person package at $2,497, while Cali K9's shop homepage still displays $1,997 for an Elite In-Person package. Because the dedicated program and checkout pages agree at $2,497, that is the stronger current price, but the live-site discrepancy should be noted.
