Dog Trainers in Portola Valley

“Always happy to help dogs and their best friends!”

I have worked professionally with dogs since 2005. I have experience in Basic Obedience as well as a certificate for Animal Behavior Consulting. I've worked mostly in off-leash dog daycare environments and I have pet-sit for many private clients over the years. I am happy to walk dogs of all breeds and sizes. I love staying active and I love an opportunity to help animals and their owners!

I have always owned a dog since I was little. I’ve trained all the dogs I’ve ever owned. I have always been an animal lover. I’m very patient, caring and thoughtful.

Hi! I'm a Bay Area native working in tech who grew up with a mischievious Maltese mix. I'm godmother to a German shepherd puppy who is now 100 pounds. I volunteer at the pet shelter and work with dogs who need behavior training.

“Your pets are are in good paws with me!”

Hi my name is Matias, I am a dog lover and treat every dog like they are my own. I own a 2 year old and a puppy Doberman pincher, who I have trained and raised myself. I also take care of a Olde English Bulldog and a Chihuahua mix. I can’t wait to take care of your doggies too!

Hi my name is Carolyn. I have over five years of experience volunteering and raising dogs for Guide Dogs for the Blind. I also have experience caring for horses, livestock and exotic animals. Currently I work at a veterinary hospital and have a passion for training and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I have seen dogs dramatically improve their behavior, health and overall wellbeing with regular walks which keeps me excited about providing dog walking services.

“Dog Trainer & Behaviorist”

Hi! I'm an experienced animal trainer and am owned by two Border Collies. We compete & have titles in agility, obedience, dock diving, and disc sports. I love helping people with their dogs. Contact me if you’re having problems with: pulling on leash, jumping on people, nipping, chewing, not listening, barking, and potty training. I specialize in separation anxiety.

“Has a dog psychology certificate, love all dogs! ”

I have a medium sized rescue dog of my own, who I trained since she was vaccinated! I took an online dog psychology to learn more about the body language of dogs and how best to approach different situations (ie leash pulling, timid dogs around strangers) and am always looking for new fur buddies to walk, play with and help train! I have experience with all breeds and all temperament types. I emphasize positive reinforcement on walks as it’s proven to be more effective.

“Experienced dog lover!”

I’ve been dog/cat sitting and dog walking consistently for about 8 years now. Ive have been volunteering with an animal rescue for going on 9 years now. I’ve worked with dogs as small as newborns and as large as 240 lbs and I am comfortable with all breeds of dog. Animals are my life and I love the opportunity to meet so many dogs through Wag!

“Loving, trustworthy and reliable.”

Hello, thank you for reviewing my profile. I am a pet lover and am someone who will be very attentive to your pet. Who more should you trust your fur baby with someone like me who loves them!

“Educating kids and dogs to be kind :)”

Hello! My name is Kiara, and I am a teacher in the San Mateo area. Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals and helped my dad walk, board, and train dogs. Over the last 10 years, I have learned many skills to safely and effectively walk and train dogs. I have experience with many different dog breeds, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. At home I have a 2 year old Tabby cat named Sesame, and a 1 year old Corgi named Chia. I’m excited to meet your pet! :)
