A group of positive reinforcement trainers serving Sonoma and Napa County

 

                                                                               

The North Bay Humane Dog Trainer’s Network is a gathering of positive reinforcement trainers in Sonoma County. With over 75 years combined experience, the NBHDTN brings an extensive  knowledge of dog training and behavior modification together using positive reinforcement methods. Some members of the North Bay Humane Dog Trainer's Network are also members of, and certified by, the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and the San Francisco's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Academy for Dog Trainers in training and counseling. 

The members of the NBHDTN offer many areas of help for the dog owning public:

  • Group Classes

  • Private - In Home Lessons

  • Kinderpuppy Classes

  • Clicker Training

  • Behavior Modification

  • Shelter Dog Evaluations

  • Assistance Dog Training

  • Agility

  • Board and Train

  • Community Education

 

The training methods used by the members of the North Bay Humane Dog Trainer's Network are both people and dog friendly.  We strongly feel that it is not necessary to use fear, pain or intimidation to train dogs.  Positive reinforcement training is an effective way to produce lasting results, helping to build a wonderful relationship with our dog.  We enjoy training dogs and want you to enjoy training your dog.
