From Confusion to Clarity
We start by teaching a simple marker system so your dog understands exactly what earns reward. Short, upbeat reps create engagement and confidence before we add any accountability. When skills are fluent, we introduce fair, minimal pressure to make them durable without dulling attitude or drive.
Train Where You Live
Foundations leave the training space quickly. We proof loose-leash walking along Santana Row, practice long-line recall near the Municipal Rose Garden, and hold a calm “place” while you pick up coffee downtown or in Japantown. Tools match the dog and the job—food and toys first; prong or remote collars, when appropriate, are used thoughtfully and transparently. You’ll get straightforward homework and coaching so results stick with you, not just the trainer.
Everyday Wins You’ll Notice
Expect quieter greetings, slack in the leash, recalls that cut through noise on the Guadalupe River Trail, and the ability to settle when life is busy. Stress drops on both ends of the lead and routines smooth out. This is San Jose Dog Training built for real-world reliability—so you and your dog can enjoy the city with confidence.
