Skills for Berkeley’s Pace
Sidewalks around North Shattuck, patio crowds on Solano, and weekend markets create constant distraction. We focus on engagement, loose-leash walking, place/stationing, and recall that hold up in busy environments. Sessions are tailored to your dog’s temperament and to the places you actually walk—Cesar Chavez Park, the Marina paths, and neighborhood streets.
Evidence-Based, Fair, and Clear
Training starts with a simple marker system and meaningful rewards so your dog understands exactly what earns success. Only after criteria are clear do we layer in fair accountability. Tools are chosen thoughtfully—food, toys, long lines, and, when appropriate, communication tools—so progress is steady and confidence remains high. You leave each lesson with precise homework and a plan.
Results You’ll Notice Everywhere
Expect calmer greetings on College Avenue, a consistent heel through Elmwood, and a dog that can settle during coffee stops or study sessions. Safety is standard: board-and-train dogs are GPS-monitored and handled by a CPR/First-Aid–certified trainer. If you want Berkeley Dog Training that works in real life—not just in a quiet room—this is it.
