We Solve Aggression & Anxiety

Many in-home puppy & dog training programs only cover basic dog manners and obedience. They do not deal with specific problem dog behavior. Jayne works with all breeds of dogs, all canine temperaments, and all dog behavior problems.

The Dog Squad offers a variety of private in-home dog training programs using a reward based training. No dog problem is too challenging for us to help you solve.

Because our trainers travel from Oakland to your location they only covers Alameda and Contra Costa Counties for in-home dog training. The Dog Squad does work with people from outside the area by special arrangement.
