I believe that every pet dog has the potential to achieve the responsiveness expected of a dog competing in the obedience show ring. I train all dogs towards this level of reliability. Expect more from your pet! Nathan began formal dog training when he was just 10 years old. He started his professional dog training business (formerly Santa Barbara Pet Services) in 2001 and has been training dogs full time ever since.

When our dogs were puppies, they both went through training with Nathan.
The training gave them both a solid foundation of understanding obedience commands which have proven to be invaluable at times.
Our Shepherd requires extensive exercise during the day so as he got bigger we opted for a different day care environment for him.
However, Marla still loves going to Loose Pooch to play with some of the friends she grew up with.
She does have her dog buddies over there and she is comfortable with the staff.

Temperament exercises - these can detect dominance issues with your young puppy so you can start therapy right away.
By gently establishing that you are the pack leader, you can avoid many potential behavioral issues when your dog gets older.
Breed awareness - I am familiar with most breeds and am aware of their general strengths and weaknesses.
You will learn to maximize your dog's abilities.
Example: Beagles are known to follow their nose and take off when they are let off leash.
Knowing this I make sure that their number one quality is that they come when called.
