How long does it take to train a dog to be trustworthy off leash you say? Well that really depends on your efforts to train your dog and the efforts of everyone else involved. We are dedicated to training every puppy into adulthood, until they've plateaued. Once an Adult dog has reached a point of plateau that simply means, it's time to refresh their memory on the skills they've learned, and take a Tune-Up Course in the Fundamentals.
Working with your dog on a daily basis on simple training steps will yield positive results. Miller is the quintessential example of a dog that everyone dreams of having. He listens to commands when asked, and is a naturally well mannered bernadoodle. All the work we’ve put into training him has really paid off! Since a young age of 9 weeks old, we started training him. He’s now 2 years old. You’ll watch in this video how responsive he is to the trainer’s visual cues and verbal commands. He’s able to block out all distractions big and small and still follows directions. This is the best example we can give you of a dog that has the fundamental skills needed to perform this difficult task: to sit & down-stay for 1 minute (Off Leash) with major distractions, and without the use of an E-Collar or any other Aversive Equipment.
We work with puppies & adult dogs of all ages! Come find out how well trained your pup will become by enrolling your puppy into our Puppy Bootcamp Program! Clemmie is a 1 year old medium sized Albino Bernadoodle, who’s been trained by us since she was 9 weeks old. She used to have such a difficult time sitting still when surrounded by many distractions. This video shows her progress over the past year of her life, and what your dog could be like if you trusted in us to train your dog now.
Do you struggle with walking your dog because your dog pulls you down the street, puts the breaks on and will not walk, or jumps up and reacts to other dogs and people? This video will show you the parts of the HALTI, how to put it on, and how to walk your dog with the HALTI. This is one of the best (LIMA) Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive training tools on the market today, and you will not regret using one on your dog!
Walking a dog with a Halti is similar to walking a Horse with a Bridal. The Halti Head Halter simply guides your dog where you want them to go! There is just one thing that we'd like you to know before trying a Halti on your dog, and that is, get a professional dog trainer to coach you first on the hows and whys of using a Halti. Let us be your guide and allow one of us to show your dog how to walk gracefully, without ever pulling you out the door or down the street again!
SOCIALIZATION is the process of introducing a puppy to the world in a way that will help him be confident and unafraid of people, places and things that he will encounter throughout his life. The most critical socialization window occurs before the age of 12 weeks, and that window is considered to be closing by 5 months. Generally the younger the puppy is when he is socialized, the more quickly and easily he gains confidence. Waiting too long can result in a need for the more difficult process of rehabilitation instead of socialization. Most aggression issues are simply a result of inefficient socialization.
RULES OF SOCIALIZATION: Each socialization exposure must be fun for your puppy. If he is forced to confront fears he's not ready to handle, the process can backfire and create a fearful/aggressive response. Go at his pace, and at a distance he feels safe. Your puppy should be the one to initiate each approach to something new and be allowed to retreat when needed to feel safe. Socialization includes generalization. Though your puppy may be fine with the toddlers or dogs in your home, that does not mean he is fine with all children and dogs. Even if he is in a class, he will need to meet new and different dogs and people, and in different places, after his classmates and their owners become familiar to him. You need to continue to expose him to new things, places, and contexts to best generalize his confidence with new things. Pair treats with exposures to make good associations. If your puppy is worried about those children he sees running across the street, it can help if the sight of the children makes cheese suddenly appear. Or if he doesn’t like her paws touched, a brief touch followed by a lick of peanut butter from a spoon can make paw touches easier to handle. If he will not take food, that is a good indication that you need to backup and lower the intensity of the exposure with more distance or less pressure. If your puppy seems to be fearful of certain things and doesn’t gain confidence quickly, we are here to help you! Remember that socialization is a time-sensitive procedure.
Whether you want to teach basic manners or iron out more serious behavioral issues, you can expect in person or virtual training with us to make an immediate impact on your dog or puppy’s behavior with the use of training games that develop self-control and make learning fun for your dog,

You love your furry friend because they are a member of your family. And as much as you would like to spend all day with them, it’s just not possible. If your dog is exhibiting signs of separation anxiety when you have to leave them alone, training may be beneficial to you both.
Santa Monica Paws is proud to offer comprehensive separation anxiety training for dogs in Marina Del Rey, CA, and the surrounding areas.
The signs of separation anxiety aren’t always obvious. This is especially true because you can’t watch their behavior when you are out of the house. When you get back home to your dog, look out for these signs, as they may indicate a separation anxiety issue:
The signs above are just a few to look out for.
At Santa Monica Paws, we absolutely love animals and are compassionate toward both their feelings and the feelings of their owners. Dogs with separation anxiety suffer emotionally, but this behavior can also negatively affect the well-being of you and your family. Our goal is to adjust the way that your dog views your absence, enhancing their quality of life.
Our team is fully trained and certified by a variety of organizations and educational institutions. When you choose us for your dog’s separation anxiety training, you can rest assured that we have the knowledge, skills, and compassion to treat them with as much love as you do while also completing the training efficiently.
We also offer thorough evaluations of your pet and their behavior before training begins so we can create the ideal personalized training program to address their needs.
You and your dog don’t have to suffer through separation anxiety alone, reach out to us by calling (424) 272-1036 today.
