If you have just added a new puppy to your family, we offer a fun and informative program that will provide your puppy with confidence and socialization skills. Some of the topics covered are sit, down, come, stay, heel and wait. In addition, we will help you teach potty training, how to stop mouthing, as well as, preventing unwanted behaviors like digging, chewing and boredom barking. On top of that we will give you tips on proper nutrition and essential training equipment for raising and training your puppy.

Private classes allow us to work with the owner and the dog to get the fastest results with the least amount of conflict. All private classes are held at our 2 ½ acre training facility in Brentwood unless previous arrangements have been made. Contrary, to what some trainers will tell you most times it is best for you and your dog to start training away from your house.

Most behavior problems disappear with a structured obedience program. However some dogs require specific attention. We specialize in eliminating and/or controlling:
Handler aggression
Dog (animal) aggression
Separation anxiety
Excessive barking
Fear biter
Timid or Aggressive behavior
Submissive urination
Breed specific aggression problems
Attention!
All dogs that are planning to enroll into Private or Board and Train courses must be evaluated first. Please call for a FREE evaluation 925.240.8292 or send us an email.





Board & Train














Our B&T programs are designed for people who have dogs that are a challenge to handle, have a busy lifestyle, going on vacation, home renovation or simply would rather leave the work to the professionals.

Our four week program allows us to use the first week to slowly acclimate and work on building a stress free friendship with your dog. As his/her trust builds we can then proceed with informal teaching. Following the next 3 weeks we will work structured obedience applying more pressure and distractions while they are put through their paces. We will also do our best to accommodate any unique/special needs according to you and your dogs environment.

One to four week basic training programs are available.

Doggie Daycare Rehab.

Because our focus is primarily on being a behavior modification facility, our Doggie Daycare serves two purposes.  As the dogs are at play with one another the natural instincts of pack mentality begin to come forth. With a delicate balance of letting nature take its course and man watching closely by to interact when needed, the animal participating in our rehab. daycare program begins an amazing turn around with the unwanted behavior(s), sometimes in just one visit.  When rehabbing this environment works best with insecure dogs, timid or fear aggressive dogs and rambunctious dogs that don't have a sense of "personal space" or control.
