South Bay Dog Training

I can't speak highly enough about my experience taking my 9-week-old puppy Klondike to South Bay Dog Training. I participated in PuppyGarten 1 and Puppy socials. PuppyGarten 1 was a great experience for both me and Klondike - Kimberly is a great instructor and walked the class through the basics (it is said you're training the owners, not the dogs, and I needed a refresher after 6 years since raising my last puppy :) !). Klondike made great progress during the course and got to have some critical socialization with other puppies. Thursday Puppy Socials were also a godsend. Klondike got training, play, and perhaps most importantly, came home TIRED. Kimberly was a great communicator throughout, and the difference in Klondike's behavior and manners was noticeable after just 1 month. If you have a new puppy, definitely enroll in classes here!

Kimberly and Larry have been amazing with our dog, Medo. We’ve been bringing him to them since he was 11 weeks old, and over the past 4 months we’ve seen such a huge transformation in him. He went from hiding behind us to becoming a confident, well-socialized dog who truly understands good play. Even though he’s now a big boy at 95 pounds, he has learned how to be gentle with younger and smaller pups. One of the sweetest things is watching him naturally come down to their level, even laying down when he realizes another dog is shy or needs a calmer approach. We really credit Kimberly and Larry for helping shape that behavior. They’ve played such an important role in Medo’s development, and we’re so grateful for the care, guidance, and environment they’ve provided. We trust them completely and highly recommend them.
