In-home Puppy and Dog Training -
Oakland, Berkeley and
the East Bay
The Dog Squad is an in-home dog training service and personalized dog obedience school that helps Oakland, Berkeley and East Bay families solve all types of dog behavior problems, including dog aggression.
Our trainer-owners, Oakland-based dog trainers Steve Bettcher and Patrick Gibbons, have over 25 years of combined dog training experience in the Bay Area... and over 35 East Bay veterinarians refer their clients to them for in-home dog behavior training and problem solving.

Dog obedience problems often stem from a lack of communication, lack of clear boundary setting, and lack of consistent discipline. We teach pet owners how to train their puppies and dogs using a humane approach to dog obedience training that teaches you how to communicate effectively with your pet, so that your dog understands clearly what you want and expect. We act as your coach, by working with your dog on and off-leash, and then showing you how to get the exact same results. Our obedience training produces dogs that listen better and respond to you even when distracted.
Many dog training schools and obedience classes only cover basic dog manners and obedience, and do not deal with specific problem dog behavior. Steve and Patrick work 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 and obedience classes using traditional and remote dog collar training for puppies and adult dogs. We also offer some dog board and train programs in the Oakland area. No dog problem is too challenging for us to help you solve. Because we travel from Oakland to your location we cover only Alameda and Contra Costa County for our in-home dog training programs. We do work with people from outside the area by special arrangement.
Call The Dog Squad for an In-home Dog Behavior Evaluation. We train puppies and dogs seven days a week and we offer lifetime dog training support.
