FirstBarkMy family and I have been going to The Hub Pack since it opened two years ago. When I tell Riley, “It’s time to go to school,” she jumps for joy! We have turned The Hub into a lifestyle. Thank you, Andrea, for creating a place for dogs and humans to share fun experiences together!

About The Hub by Pack Animals
The Hub is a Gym For Dogs, a revolutionary new concept that turns dog training into a lifestyle. Like a gym for humans, our model makes it easier than ever to access the knowledge, equipment, and community needed for our pups to thrive. Our core offering is a blend of ever-evolving group training classes, daycare, playgroups, and community events that help you and your pup build real-world skills and establish a healthy routine. These services are accessible via monthly membership (best for weekly routines) or pre-paid credits (best for drop-ins & flexibility). The Hub and its many amenities can also be rented for dog parties!

The unique thing about the Hub, is how much they care about the dogs, and the relationship between the owners, All of thier classes are fun, engaging, and have real life application. The trainers care about your dog, remember what they are working on. Tonka recommends them for a fun place to train and learn how to be a good girl.
Butter has been a member of The Hub for over a year now, and he LOVES it!!! He feels safe and just adores the entire Hub Team. We have learned so much thru the training classes and enjoy watching him have fun with the 'Confidence Building' classes. The Hub Team is so caring and experienced when working with the dogs and their guardians. The Gym is very clean and well organized.

My 3-year-old Coton de Tulear and I have been members of The Hub for just over a year now, and it’s such a gem at the City Center in San Ramon. When we first started, Bucky was extremely reactive—barking and lunging at other dogs, even from a distance. Taking him on walks was more than a little stressful. We began with private lessons to build a foundation and eventually transitioned into group classes—they’ve been a transformative experience for both of us! The instructors don't just train the dogs, they give owners the tools and confidence needed to navigate the world safely. I really appreciate how they manage the environment so that even a smaller dog feels safe and supported. Beyond reactivity training, we’ve loved exploring their diverse classes like AKC Rally, fitness, and tricks. It’s the perfect way to keep our little guy mentally and physically stimulated, and having a clean, indoor space is really nice for exercise on rainy days. Bucky may be a small dog but he's got big needs for mental and physical stimulation! The facility is always spotless, and the booking process is really simple with flexible membership and pay-per-use credit options. Owners Andrea (who’s the head instructor) and Chris clearly pour their hearts into the business, and the staff—special shoutouts to Peyton and Rebekah—are incredibly kind. Everyone is responsive, open to feedback, and truly makes you feel like part of a community. We look forward to our weekly visits for high-level engagement we wouldn’t be able to get by just going to the dog park. We highly recommend this place!
We love the hub and have been taking our puppy here since he was 4 months old. We love the trainers and the variety of classes they offer. It’s not only a great place for your puppy/dog to learn structure and obedience, but it’s also great to get them socialized comfortably and safe which is crucial to their development and behavior.
