Clarity First, Then Fair Accountability
We teach your dog exactly what earns reward—using markers, food, and play—so the “right choice” is obvious. Once skills are understood, we add humane, predictable accountability to make them dependable around distractions. Plans reflect your dog’s temperament and your goals, keeping sessions short, upbeat, and confidence-building.
Train Where You Actually Walk
Foundations come alive outside: heel past café tables on Santa Cruz Ave, hold a relaxed place at home when guests arrive, and recall cleanly on breezy Bayfront paths. We generalize skills in the environments you use, choosing tools that fit the dog and the job while coaching you through simple, repeatable reps. Progress doesn’t live with the trainer—it transfers to you.
Results That Change Routines
Expect looser leashes, calmer greetings, a recall you believe in, and the ability to settle when life is busy. Friction drops, communication gets crisp, and daily outings feel predictable again. This is Menlo Park Dog Training that emphasizes safety, clarity, and reliability—without dulling your dog’s drive or personality.
