A dog's paws contain nerve endings that can help it navigate its movements. A dog's muzzle is rich in nerve endigns and the nose serves as an olfactory and tactile, exploratory function. The area of a dog's brain deidcated to smell is 40 times as large as a human's. They have hundreds of millions of scent receptors in their noses.

The best deal in dog training! I've trained 4 different dogs over 10 years with the great trainers at Monterey Bay Dog Training Club. Every dog is a little different and needs a different approach to training. From a nervous & shy Great Dane to an exuberant & outgoing Golden Retriever, the trainers always worked with me to find the best approach to fit each dog.
I was able to train my dogs to the level we were able to compete successfully in AKC Obedience and Rally competitions and earn a few titles. But the best part is the bond that develops with your dog as you work toward better communication and understanding.

I have been training my dog here with several different trainers (Luanne, Pam, Dorothy, Susan) since she was a puppy, almost 8 years ago. We have progressed through several different level of classes in obedience and agility and she is such a happy dog. I constantly get compliments on how well behaved my dog is. I also go back about 20 years to another dog who was very shy and fearful.
We completed Beginning Obedience, and, even though he wasn't naturally talented, I had him almost 15 years and he never forgot heeling on leash or recall -- the two most important things your dog can do, in my opinion.

I have been training my dogs at Monterey Bay Dog Training Club for almost 9 years. I have had 4 dogs and myself train with them. The trainers are experienced and can handle all sizes and temperaments. In the past year I have trained with Luane Vidak in Capitola and with Dorothy Mash and Carol Davis in Watsonville. My next class will be with Susan Westover and we are really looking forward to it.
