Mantra K9 delivers science-led training that works on busy sidewalks, at Lake Merritt, and everywhere you go. We build clear communication, calm confidence, and dependable obedience you can trust outside the classroom.
Crowded paths around Lake Merritt, weekend bustle in Temescal, and tight neighborhood streets ask a lot of a dog. Our programs focus on engagement, leash manners, stationing/place, and recall that hold up amid strollers, bikes, and patio traffic. We start where your dog is today and shape practical skills for the city you actually live in.
We teach with markers and meaningful rewards to make the right choice obvious, then add fair accountability only when your dog understands the job. Tools are selected thoughtfully—food, toys, long lines, and, when appropriate, communication tools—so progress is steady and confidence stays intact. You’ll leave each session knowing exactly what to practice and why it works.
Expect looser leash walks along the waterfront, neutral greetings in Rockridge, reliable recalls on trail loops in Joaquin Miller, and a dog that can settle on cue during coffee stops in Grand Lake. Safety is baked in: board-and-train dogs use GPS monitoring and are handled by a CPR/First-Aid–certified trainer. Whether you choose private lessons or a structured program, the result is simple—Oakland Dog Training that delivers calm, reliable behavior in the real world.
Working with Jordan was an absolute pleasure. I knew May was in the best hands throughout her board and train. Jordan was extremely flexible in working with both my partner and myself to teach us both how to communicate with May to maintain her training.
After returning home, Coco has so much more confidence and control on walks and in public -- and Jordan trained us how to effectively use tools to reward and maintain that behavior. Even weeks after Coco returned home, I'm continually impressed at how differently she behaves during walks. Highly recommend Jordan and Mantra K9 for anyone looking to improve their relationship and communication with their dog(s)!
Jordan is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and really understands each dog’s unique personality. She is attentive and thorough in her training approach, which proved to be both practical and extremely effective.
We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing experience we had with Jordan and her team at Mantra K9. Our Weimaraner, Zeke, completed their 6-week board and train program, and the results have been incredible.
Jordan is beyond talented. She worked with our two loves: Shakira (1 year & 10 months Husky) and Beyonce (1 year & 3 months German Shepherd). She helped us with a number of behavior issues: walking the girls on a leash without them pulling on the leash; Beyonce's high anxiety levels; out of control playing and barking at each other.Jordan taught us how to work with our girls and have a healthier routine for them.
