Living with Dogs - Santa Cruz Training Classes

We purchased a budget-friendly, 30-class package for our puppy who has become a wonderful family member with Living With Dogs training. The online scheduling is convenient and the array of classes is impressive. We appreciate their positive reinforcement methods that do not employ harsh tools such as pronged or choke collars. We are pleased to be able to take our dog everywhere dogs are welcome, including restaurants, wineries, busy sidewalks, etc. knowing that she will behave as expected. Sandi and her staff are making Santa Cruz county a better place with well-mannered dogs and happy dog owners!

Sandi Pensinger has been invaluable in helping us rehabilitate our retired seeing eye dog, who had serious reactivity to other dogs. Her manner is calm and quiet, and her techniques are based in legitimate animal behavioral science, not television personality cult. The best thing is how much we ourselves have learned, so that every day is a fun/play/class for our dog. We have become more confident in handling situations that challenge our dog, and therefore both we and our dog are more relaxed.
