Clear Communication Comes First
We begin with a simple marker system so your dog knows exactly which choices earn reward. Short, focused reps build engagement and confidence before we add any pressure. When behaviors are fluent, we layer in fair, minimal accountability to make them durable without dulling attitude or drive.
Trained Where You Actually Live
Skills leave the mat early. We proof loose-leash walking on Big Basin Way, practice long-line recall near Kevin Moran Park, and run solid “place” while you grab coffee in the Village. Tools match the dog and goal—food and toys first, plus prong or remote collars used thoughtfully when appropriate. You’ll get clear homework and hands-on coaching so progress sticks with you, not just the trainer.
Results That Make Days Easier
Expect polite greetings, a leash that stays loose, recalls that cut through distraction, and the ability to settle on cue when life is busy. Stress drops on both ends of the leash, and routines feel smooth again. This is Saratoga Dog Training focused on clarity, safety, and real-world reliability—so you and your dog can enjoy the neighborhood with confidence.
