services

We do not offer board and train services. We feel that it is important for the owner to be a part of the

training process and that positive training greatly improves any dog/human relationship.

To see our class schedules and locations please visit our Class Schedule page.

Conformation Private Lessons/Coaching

For clients who want to learn to show their own dogs, we can coach you for conformation or show ring

training. We can help you decide what class to show in, which shows to enter, what to wear, and how

handle your own dog.

You may also opt to bring your dog for 1 hour conformation lessons where we will work with your dog

for you while you obeserve. Some clients even opt to drop their dogs off for the 1 hour session while

they have lunch or shop. This training is helpful for clients who have their breeder handle their dog

but

want the dog to have some show ring training.

$50 per hour for while you watch or drop your dog off sessions

Private Behavioral/Problem Solving Sessions #1

chronic

barking or a specific obedience behavior such as coming when called or walking on a loose

leash. These

Private Behavioral/Problem Solving Sessions #2

aggression, fear issues or anxiety issues. Depending upon the specific behavior problem, we may

also

meet at local parks or trails.

aggression, separation anxiety or fear issues client will be required to pre-pay for 2 sessions during

first

Private Puppy Sessions

Our private puppy sessions allow clients to have in home help with puppy issues. We can discuss

work on whichever specific puppy issues the client is having.

I am happy to spend a session helping owners to set up their homes for the puppy. I will come to the

home before the puppy comes to help prepare for the puppy. And when it's necessary and possible

schedule-wise I can come to the home when the puppy is actually brought home to oversee interaction

with resident dogs or to set up.

Pop In Visits

Pop Ins are for clients who are working on a behavioral issue with their dog that involves guests or

visitors. As many people have a difficult time finding someone to make a quick visit to work with their

dogs, we decided to offer this service. Pop Ins are perfect for dogs who are being treated for

incessantly

barking at guests, fearful or shy acting with guests but can be helpful for other issues as

well. Pop Ins are

available in the immediate 10 mile radius of San Leandro.

$12 for a 10 minute Pop In Visit

help

you find the right breed for you. If you have questions about breed choices, or certain types of

dogs, you

and how to best

go about finding a dog.

Need a little help getting started?

Some clients need a little extra help getting their dog on the right track. For these clients, we offer a

with you to make the dog even more reliable. We can work on whichever behaviors you like, and can

work on them on an individual basis. It should be noted, that we are going to get the behaviors started

and learned, you will need to practice to keep them strong.
