Dog Training
Classes in Sonoma

From wiggly pups to confident companions.

Whether you’re starting with a new puppy, brushing up on manners, or helping a reactive dog feel calmer, our small-group classes are designed to build skills that last.

Training is about more than commands

It’s about calmer days and a stronger bond.

  • Communicate clearly and build trust

  • Burn mental energy and reduce boredom

  • ​Feel calmer and confident at home and out in the world​

  • Spend more time enjoying your dog, less time correcting behavior

TEAM BUILDING WITH YOUR DOG

Get ready for tail-wagging fun! You and your dog will discover playful, team-building activities designed to strengthen your bond and show your pup that being with you is the best adventure ever. Together, you’ll learn how to set up exciting searches, encourage your pup to look to you for help getting what they want, and try beginner-friendly sports such as agility—plus plenty of clever tricks along the way.

SNIFFER SCHOOOL

Your dog will use their natural instincts while you learn how to create simple to more challenging searches and strengthen your connection along the way. Scenting provides both mental and physical stimulation, which often leaves even high-energy dogs calmer and more relaxed afterward. It’s a great complement to regular walks or when outdoor exercise is limited.
