Best Dog Trainer in the Bay Area.

This is a horrible business. 1) our dog and other dogs got sick at Dan’s facility; 2) the owner tried to cover that up; 3) the owner then tried to blame our for an outbreak at his facility when he earlier told us no other dogs were sick; 4) DPT made our young daughter cry; and 5) our dog left untrained. When we complained, the owner verbally attacked and bullied us. These guys have a lot of bad reviews for a reason. They work through fear and intimidation, which is counter-productive for many dogs. If you don't see results, the owner will blame you. Just think - for $3000, you too could have a sick, untrained dog, and a business who thinks it's a good idea to personally attack people’s kids! Don't support a business that treats people and dogs this way. There are many other great options for dog trainers who actually support and care for dogs and their owners.

Dan cares about dogs. There's no way around it. Him and Aaron have an established "tough love" approach that's helped my dachshund go from yappy annoyance to confident wonder-wiener. No shock collars, no physical harm on the dogs; just simple stern dog-parenting, lead leashes, and water pistols. Yes the place smells like dog pee, it's a warehouse refitted for doggy boot camp and for a reasonable price at that! (Compared to other dog training facilities) When we have our next puppy we will 100% take them here for puppy school. I can't recommend this place enough for dog training.
The quality of the people who work here and there service,,,,excellent !! I would definitely trust my best friend with these people.....
