All group classes are held at 561-I Brunken Ave., Salinas, California, in a 10,000 square foot, fully matted indoor, facility designed for the comfort and safety of your pet.
Daycare
Paws at Play™ is a doggie daycare service that provides a fun, learning, and social environment for your pet while you are away for the day. In south Salinas, we are centrally located with easy freeway access. Convenient hours give plenty of time to arrive at work with time to spare.
In-Home
Private in-home dog training is a service provided to those who cannot commit to classes for a multitude of reasons including work schedules, a truly unruly dog, and many other reasons. With private lessons we can address individual problems that may not be discussed in a class environment, lessons may be scheduled with a bit more flexibility, and you receive concentrated training. Call to see if private lessons are correct for you and your dog.
