From University Avenue to the Baylands trails, your dog should understand you the first time. Our science-led, balanced approach turns confusion into clear communication and behavior you can trust anywhere in town.
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.
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.
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.
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.
