Halloween is coming soon! Dogs want the treats more than they want scary tricks. Here are some tips to keep your dog from getting the scaries when kids come knocking on the door trick-or-treating.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of our wonderful instructor, Patti, on Sunday, October 4th.
We are all still in shock and will deeply miss her.

Patti was an important member of our dog school community for many years and our thoughts are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Our Intermediate Level II / Advanced class will continue with our other instructors.
Thank you for your understanding as we remember and honor Patti.

Sydney says, if you haven't been to the Tunnel Tops park in San Francisco, you should definitely go there! Great place to enjoy the view with your human and sniff a lot of grass 🐶
The San Bruno Dog Obedience School will help you train on loose leash walking so your pup is well behaved at local parks allowing dogs on leash!

Pet therapy visits can help reduce stress and anxiety, lift spirits, provide companionship, and bring a little happiness to people in hospitals, senior communities, schools, and other settings. 🐶💕
