South Bay Dog Training

Excellent curriculum and trainers! My puppy Jim has attended PuppyGarten2, Manners 1, and Manners 2 with Kimberly. Classes are kept small so each dog and handler get enough attention with the instructor and to keep class at a good pace. South Bay Dog Training is a positive reinforcement (R+) only training facility. As a result of these classes, my partner and I have a solid understanding in how to communicate with our dog through a positive-reinforcement enforced contract and our bond with Jim has really strengthened. Jim now reliably knows some cool and really essential skills like sit, stay, down, recall, body handling, loose leash walking, look at me, and more. Most of all, we feel that this foundational coursework has set us up well for supporting Jim in the rest of his good boi journey for life. Special shout-out to Kimberly who is absolutely lovely! She brings awesome energy to class and has always been so thoughtful and helpful with all of our questions during and outside of class. Jim always loved seeing her and puppy classes were definitely a highlight of his week.
