The best training dog videos

Howdy neighbor, we're in the East Bay! BTW, you can put your general location in your profile, which would be helpful for people making recommendations. You might also go to the introduction area of the board and start a thread so everyone can get to know you. And welcome to the board!

I took Dena & Keefer through the Sirius Puppy classes, which were great. There are many locations all over the Bay Area, including Sunnyvale & Los Gatos, which I think area somewhat close to you. http://www.siriuspup.com/ I'm more of a reader too, but it can help to see a training technique demonstrated, so a video is good, but there's really no substitute for the eye of a good trainer, who can tell you when you're doing things exactly right, or give you suggestions for any training issues you may be having.

For the next level beyond puppy classes, I don't know of any near you. I took classes at the Marin Humane Society, about an hour drive from my house, but that would be quite a haul for you, and I'm sure there are closer places.

Where are you getting your puppy from?

Hello caview and to the forum from another East Bay member. If you are looking for alternative breeders for working lines, here are three for you to consider, two of which are within a 30-45 minute drive from you:

Randy Tyson is located up the road from you in Menlo Park: Several board members have recently gotten puppies from her.

Eric von Falconer is located down the road from you behind Scotts Valley near Bonny Doon - very close to the fire area they recently had down there. I got Kayla from this breeder three years ago and we trained with him for a year and half.

Anne Kent is down in the Saugus in So Calif. She is also a member of this board. I recently got Lancer from Anne:

Feel free to PM me if you want any information on these breeders.


Good Luck and again.
