Training methods that dogs actually understand

At Citizen Canine, we employ dog-friendly training methods. Good behavior is rewarded with positive reinforcement including praise and treats. Rather than being reprimanded, a pet‘s poor behavior is ignored until they realize it won’t get them anything good. We always take the time to get to know each dog before their stay at Citizen Canine. This helps us pick-up on the cues in a dog‘s personality that we can then use to trigger improvements in behavior. A positive, dog-friendly approach to training typically results in behavioral improvements quicker than a strict disciplinary approach. One-on-one training is available while your dog is a guest at Citizen Canine.

We recommend Sirius Puppy Training for all new puppy and adolescent dogs and their guardians. Sirius programs run six weeks and are offered at many convenient locations around the Bay Area, including Citizen Canine. Visit them at www.siriuspup.com or call 510-658-8588.
