Important Information
Our most successful clients are those who take a proactive and positive approach to the training process. There are no instant solutions for problem behaviors. Change takes time and practice, which will be rewarded with a happier, well-behaved companion!
All lessons are held at the 4Paws University training center unless previous arrangements have been made. Services are limited to residents of the Greater Sacramento area.
We do not use aversive equipment or methods, as the latest research of dog behavior, as well as ten years of experience, has shown that such methods are not more effective than reward-based methods and frequently create or exacerbate problems in the long run.
- No shock collars
- No prong collars
- No physical punishment
We do not employ or advocate the methods seen on 'The Dog Whisperer.' Our training and behavior programs are designed to change problem behaviors through reward-based methods, not temporarily suppress them through the use of punishment. Dog owners will be required to discontinue the use of such methods during the training program.
Euthanasia/Rehoming Policy: We strongly believe this is a personal choice to be made by owners after considering all factors. Our role in this regard is to provide the owner with a clear view of those factors and offer consultation, as appropriate.

We know that even the best dogs can have problems. No matter if your dog is young or old, new to you or a long-time family companion, we
can help!
