California School For Dogs Inc offers several different types of classes:
Training Walks Drop in and join us anytime
Wednesday May 7th at Chase Palm Park on Garden Street side and Wednesday May 21st at Lake Los Carneros (Stow House) in parking lot behind fire station. Training walks last 1 hour and contain 6 to 10 dogs each. During the walks we work on proper greetings (dog to dog and dog to human) leash walking skills, using basic obedience skills in public and anything else that comes up. These walks are particularly good for dogs who have basic obedience skills but need to work on these skills in different environments and dogs who have developed issues while walking such as barking, fears, and/or aggression. We take a different walk each week and explore interesting places in and around the Santa Barbara area. These walks are drop in only. Simply show up at the designated area and pay the $20 fee. We leave right at 3:00pm so don't be late.

Basic Obedience Classes
Next class begins early next year
Our six-week basic obedience class covers all of the basic skills your dog needs to know to become a well-behaved member of your family.
These skills include name recognition, come, sit, down, stay, proper greetings, loose leash walking, socialization and more.
This class is particularly good for puppies (12 weeks and older) and newly adopted dogs, and older dogs that seem to have forgotten everything they once knew.
This training encourages bonding between a dog and his/her human and sets the stage for many good years to come.
Obedience Classes
Additional classes will be added as the need arises. Specialty classes can also be scheduled depending you and your dog's needs. All classes run for 6 consecutive weeks (unless interrupted by a holiday).

Private Training
California School For Dogs Inc. offers individual instruction that is based on the idea that dogs learn best when they are positively reinforced for good behavior.
Individual training is appropriate for dog owners who simply prefer one-on-one instruction as well as those who are addressing certain behavioral problems that are best handled on a one-on-one environment. Even when addressing a dog's problem behavior jumping up on people, excessive barking, aggression toward other dogs, or chewing up the house (to name just a few) positive reinforcement-based training can be used to teach dogs new and appropriate behaviors to replace those bad behaviors that are so frustrating.
