Bravo Pup Social

Bravo Pup had been essential in helping us raise a well rounded dog! We have been going to the puppy and then teenage socials for about 6 months and my boy absolutely loves them! Its a mix of play and training drills that are so beneficial for us and our dog. He's about to age out and I'm already missing this weekly activity. Its a great place to meet other responsible dog owners for play dates. The trainers care so much about the dogs and it really shows. We took the pup 1 & 2 classes and learned so many tips and tricks. When our pup was struggling with food allergies and couldn't take treats Leslie tailored every exercise to include toys as rewards. We scheduled a private training session with her and it was perfectly tailored to meet us and our dog where we were at. Thank you so much Leslie and Sandi for everything you do!

Bravo! Pup began hosting Puppy Socials and training classes at the First Congregational Church of Oakland, my place of employment, way back in 2009—17 years ago! Sandi and her team teach with positive reinforcement, compassion, and humor, making learning fun for both dogs and their owners. When I adopted my puppy in 2015, we started with Pup 1 and then graduated to Pup 2. We also attended the weekly socials—an amazing way to socialize your puppy. Over the years, Bravo! Pup has offered a wide variety of classes for both puppies and adult dogs, including basic training, specialized behavioral solutions, agility, doggy tricks, doggy dancing, and so much more! Their rates are very affordable, and the lessons I learned while taking classes and attending socials with my pup have been invaluable. I’m especially grateful for the tools Sandi gave me to help my rescued pup overcome severe separation anxiety. Thanks to her guidance and our consistent practice, my dog became confident and happy. Affordable, knowledgeable, and truly caring—Bravo! Pup is the real deal. No wonder they’ve been voted Best of the East Bay multiple times!
