Foundations Clinic: Your Starting point!

Here’s what clients have to say: "Thank you for the wonderful clinic. Skip and I did about four 10 min training sessions today all the while with a loose leash. Our walks had become agonizing. Thank you for demonstrating how a correction should be done. I am in awe of how you work with dogs.
Beginning Off Leash Clinic
So, your dog is doing fairly well on a leash and gets along with other dogs, but when off-leash, he doesn't always come back to you? This is the workshop for you. You will learn how to use e-collars to get your dog's attention no matter where he is. This class includes a review of your on leash handling before we move off leash. *E-collars will be for sale here if you don't have one, $200
Here what others have to say:
" Thank you soooo much for the reassurance and encouragement!!!
Advanced Off Leash Clinic: Great Add on to beginning off leash class!
We take both on and off leash training to a higher level in this clinic. You will be challenging your dog to focus on leash in increasingly difficult scenarios before practicing off leash recall, sit, down and down stays at the dog beach!

Read what other's have to say: "Thank you fora phenomenal day for Briscoe and his new friends! This day changed our relationship immediately. I love how dogs can instantly forgive their handlers once we make the necessary adjustments to OUR behavior. We experienced this the very next day. I'm literally typing this with misty-eyes. Thank you Patricia, for your expertise, keen eye, giving honest and needed assessments. Life changing for us.☺"
Downtown Class: Includes Therapy dog and Service Dog Preparation! San Luis Obispo or a busy Town near YOU!
This on-leash class helps you and your dog navigate the busy streets of the city. You will have your dog relaxed and focused as we pass by many people, cars and other dogs, surrounded by all kinds of noises and other distractions. We also practice going up stairs, elevators and more. I recommend ending the class with lunch or dinner with your dog at an outside café to practice down stay as we eat!
Read what others have to say:
"They are totally getting it! They have navigated old men, skateboards, weird people, and even other dogs walking past. Rumba is even proud of himself; every time he gets it right, he starts wagging his little tail! it's a total 180* difference!"
"The training was fantastic! Diesel is doing better on walks …more confident. Not afraid."
"Hi Patricia! I just wanted to thank you for the clinic on Thursday, we learned a lot! It was a lot of fun and very informative, and when I took Mishka to Lowe's last night, she just cruised through the store with no issues at all. Thanks again! Your expertise is greatly appreciated, and I'm sure we'll see you again."
