FIT 'N' FURRY dog training classes are now available and will be in group and individual formats. Our training uses positive
reinforcement techniques so that learning will be pleasurable
and adversives will never be used.
We pamper furry guests from Marin and Sonoma County including places like Petaluma, Santa Rosa, Novato and other North Bay cities.
Socialization is a very important part of your puppy’s development. Here puppies are able to interact in a safe environment within their age group. This builds confidence and develops good greeting skills in the puppy so that it will grow up learning to play well with others. We will also teach a few “starter commands” to introduce them to the concept of training.

“Dog training is like any other field in that it is always evolving, with new innovations coming in all the time. I don’t ever want to become ‘stagnant’, and I try to stay current and open to new ideas and methods of training. In the end what I want most to do is help everyone get the most from their relationship with their pet.” |
