What We Do

We offer a variety of classes, from puppy classes to basic beginning, intermediate and advanced classes for the family pet (see Classes drop down menu for options).  We also have classes for dogs with attitudes.
Classes are held on Saturday mornings at the College of San Mateo (see Contact page for Directions)
Our trainers have more than 40 years of experience training pet dogs. Instructors use a variety of positive, operant conditioning, cognitive and relationship-based training methods and help handlers better understand their dog.
Families are welcome to participate in training, however, children under 10 must be supervised by an adult other than the person training the dog.
