About this program
What they say about themselves
Heaven Sent K-9 identifies Sogand Schmeisser as its primary contact and describes its trainer as a Certified Dog Trainer and Dog Behaviorist specializing in obedience, behavior modification, and aggression rehabilitation. The current pricing page states more than 13 years of experience. Services extend across Orange County, the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, and numerous Southern California communities, with private training associated with Irvine and Riverside facilities.
Training is available through two-week residential programs and private instruction. Board-and-train options cover foundation obedience, advanced off-leash reliability, and behavior or aggression cases. The five-acre residential property provides individual indoor-outdoor kennels, supervised yard time, and controlled exposure to farm animals including cats, pigs, goats, horses, and ponies. Owners receive photo and video updates during their dog's stay. Private training generally meets once per week for one-hour sessions and includes homework, written instructions, basic obedience, and behavior work.
The website describes a balanced approach centered on both affection and discipline rather than positive-reinforcement-only training. It distinguishes correction from punishment and emphasizes clear guidance, trust, physical interaction, and understanding canine behavior. Board-and-train clients are instructed to provide a martingale or chain collar and a standard leash. The business does not offer group classes, citing differences among individual dogs and handlers. Boarding is also available, including higher-management boarding for behavior dogs and refresher training for previous board-and-train clients.
