SF Dog Pack - San Francisco, CA
Sf Dog Pack employs evidence based R+ training techniques. Walking nicely on leash. Basic manners, puppy prep, adult manners, barking, destruction, aggression and anxiety. I can help you with any problem you are having with your dog. If I can not help you I can refer you to someone who can. I have been studying positive rewards based dog training for 12 years beginning with the rehabilitation of my own #60 pit bull who barked and lunged on leash. I attended the Canine Behvaiour Academy at the Marin Humane Society in 2008 and The Dog Training Internship Academy in 2020. I regularly attend lecture, seminars and conferences and I will continue my education throughout my life, as more science of dog training comes in.
I am a proud and faithful member of the Pet Professional Guild, which has the highest standards of companion animal care. I pledge to never: yank, yell, shock, kick (yes, it happens), use prongs, or choke collars in any manner to control or train your dog. Not only are these not effective, they can be dangerous to both dog and human. I adhere to the Humane Hierarchy and LIMA standards of practice in my work with dogs and people. :-)
I have owned and operated my dog business www.sfdogpack.com for the past 20 years, with 5 star reviews! Let me help you and your dog enjoy your lives more! Happy Dogs, Happy People. Sf Dog Pack. check out my facebook page too!
