Communication That Clicks
We start by teaching a clear marker system so your dog knows exactly which choices earn reward. Food, play, and praise drive learning; once skills are understood, we layer in fair, predictable accountability to make them dependable around distractions. Plans are customized to your dog’s temperament and to your goals—calm focus without dulling drive.
Train in the Places You Actually Go
Skills don’t stay in a training hall. Heel work on California Ave, relaxed “place” at home when company arrives, and a recall you’ll use on windy Baylands paths—all are proofed in real Palo Alto environments. We choose tools that fit the dog and the job, then coach you through simple, repeatable reps so progress transfers to you, not just the trainer.
Everyday Wins You Can Feel
Expect loose-leash walks, polite greetings, steady settles, and reliable recalls that hold up at Rinconada or Mitchell Park. Communication becomes cleaner, stress drops, and routines feel predictable again. This is Palo Alto Dog Training focused on safety, clarity, and real-world reliability—so your dog can go everywhere you do.
