Love of Dogs Training - Mobile Dog Trainer - Redwood City, CA

Member since Mar 2020

Welcome to Love of Dogs Training! We are based in Redwood City, CA.
Our goal is to help you achieve a well-balanced and trusting relationship with your dog.
I believe basic commands are a must, but more importantly, you have to have a balanced dog. This is a dog that respects and trusts his family as leaders of the pack. A well-exercised, socialized, balanced-minded dog has confidence in himself and in his owner to lead him in a safe manner. Once this bond is achieved, you can trust that your dog will react to unpredictable situations in an intelligent manner. Please contact and book us on Petworks. Thanks.

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers


When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.


For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Celia Driscoll, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.
