Dog Training FAQs
What vaccinations do you require for training?
To keep Fit ‘N’ Furry a safe and healthy place for dogs, we require vaccinations for rabies, DHLPP (distemper), and Bordetella. A Canine Influenza Vaccination is highly recommended.
For Puppy Socialization Classes vaccinations must be up to date and age appropriate by what the veterinarian of record says for: Rabies, DHLPP, and Bordetella. A Canine Influenza Vaccination is highly recommended.
Can I watch my puppy play during puppy socialization classes?
Yes! One family member (over the age of 12 yrs.) can come in with their puppy to observe and learn tips while their puppy plays.
What will my dog learn in training?
Our trainers specialize in helping your dog become the best family member possible. We do this by training the most important obedience cues, such as sit, stay, come when called, and leave it. We also work on leash skills, social skills, and home manners.
Can you work on a specific behavior with my dog?
We’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and challenges. Chances are we’ve seen your situation before! When you come in for your free training evaluation, we’ll discuss how we can help.
Can you work on my dog’s social skills?
Yes! Social skills are so important to developing a well-rounded dog. While we aren’t equipped to handle cases of extreme aggression, many of our programs have a social element so your dog can exercise his or her social skills with easygoing, friendly pups. For the young ones, we offer complementary puppy socialization to get them started off on the right paw.
Do you offer follow-up sessions?
Once your dog learns their skills, retaining them is an ongoing process. We lay the foundation for good training and transfer that information to you so you can continue developing your dog’s skills and behaviors. All of our camps include ongoing support in person or by phone, or even via email or FaceTime.
We also have “Maintenance Training” sessions, in addition to our discounted play activities, for our dog training graduates at a small fee while they are here for lodging with us.

About Santa Rosa, CA
Santa Rosa (Spanish for "Saint Rose") is a city in and the county seat of Sonoma County, in the North Bay region of the Bay Area in California. Its population as of the 2020 census was 178,127. It is the largest city in California's Wine Country and Redwood Coast. It is the fifth most populous city in the Bay Area after San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, and Fremont, and the 25th most populous city in California.
Santa Rosa was founded in 1833 and named by Mexican colonists after Saint Rose of Lima. In 1867, the county recognized Santa Rosa as an incorporated city; in 1868 the state officially confirmed the incorporation, making it the third incorporated city in Sonoma County after Petaluma.
Green buildings in California exemplify the state’s commitment to sustainable and eco-conscious construction practices. These structures are designed with a focus on energy efficiency, water conservation, and reduced environmental impact. By incorporating features such as solar panels, efficient insulation, and rainwater harvesting systems, these green buildings contribute to lower energy bills, decreased carbon emissions, and overall improved indoor air quality.
Fit ‘N’ Furry was the first certified Green building in Petaluma! What that means to your precious pet is we have a state-of-the-art climate control and UV air purification system which operates 24/7 to provide plenty of fresh air for your pet. Just five years from our inception, the California State Legislature honored us with the Sustainable North Bay Award, acknowledging our steadfast commitment to operating an environmentally conscious and health-promoting business!
Santa Rosa is home to several vineyards with world-class wines, rich histories, and beautiful surroundings. The Matanzas Creek Winery offers June and July visitors a chance to enjoy its aromatic fields of blooming lavender, but its Estate Gardens and spectacular scenery are tourist draws year-round. If golf is your passion, grab your clubs and spend a relaxing afternoon at Fountaingrove or one of the other popular courses. Young and old alike will delight in the Charles M. Schulz Museum, which chronicles the evolution and history of Snoopy and the "Peanuts" gang.
