Clarity First, Then Reliability
We begin with a simple marker system so your dog understands exactly which choices earn reward. Food, toys, and praise build momentum; once skills are clear, we add fair, predictable accountability to make them hold under distraction. Every plan is tailored to your dog’s temperament and your goals, preserving enthusiasm while creating steady self-control.
Practice Where You Actually Walk
Training sticks when it’s rehearsed in familiar places. We proof heel work on Castro, settle at home when guests arrive, and build a recall you’ll trust along the Stevens Creek Trail or at Shoreline Park. Tools are chosen to fit the dog and the job, and we coach you through clean, repeatable reps so progress transfers from trainer to owner.
Results You Can Feel Day to Day
Expect looser leashes, calmer greetings, solid “place,” and a recall that cuts through noise at Rengstorff or Cuesta Park. Communication gets easier, routines feel predictable, and stress fades on both ends of the lead. This is Mountain View Dog Training focused on safety, clarity, and real-life reliability—so your dog can go everywhere you do.
