Areas We Serve

I train dogs throughout Oakland: in your home and in your neighborhood, streets you actually walk every day. This includes Montclair, Glenview, Piedmont, Trestle Glen, Laurel, Grand Lake, Woodminster, Oakmore, Lincoln Highlands and the Dimond District, along with surrounding neighborhoods.

Because every session happens where your dog actually lives, training reflects real world situations and distractions: neighborhood dogs, and everything else your  dog confronts out your door.

If you're not sure whether you're in the service area, ask on your free phone consult: I'd rather have that conversation than have you wonder. If a session works better by phone, I offer Telesessions for clients who live outside Oakland or who have moved away and want to continue working together.
