Citizen Canine ACademy

Puppy and Dog Training Program in Oakland, CA

dog training working with a dog

Let us train your dog while you work! Citizen Canine Academy offers a perfect hybrid of training and daycare, so your dog can learn the skills they need while you're away. The program includes:

  • Positive-reinforcement based training focused on the
    fundamentals, impulse control, basic dog obedience and social skills
  • One-on-one work with our training team
  • Customized 4-5 day long training stays that include several training sessions per day, monitored social playtime, and rest

The whole team is fabulous, from the front desk to the play time watchers/trainers. Olive really enjoys her time there. Academy 1 started yesterday and already she is more responsive too small corrections. Cheers to raising good puppy parents.

Everyone has been fantastic, but I’m especially blown away by the trainer, JuJu. I’m not sure words can fully capture the kind of dog we handed over to her—but somehow, in just five days, she’s made truly unbelievable progress. It’s honestly mind-blowing. JuJu’s talent is off the charts. She’s absolutely incredible.

-Hilarie

The director, Juliet Small, is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, effective and runs a tight ship. The whole team there makes the work look easy, and they are always joyful. I have all respect for Citizen Canine, the way they run their program and their philosophy of k9 Pedagogy.
