A.L.L. Dog Training is an Elk Grove and Sacramento area based company. A.L.L. does things a little differently from most other dog training companies. We feel that dog training is about building better communication skills between you and your dog. We do not "treat train" or use harsh methods; everything is based on positive reinforcement and dog psychology. Our clients learn how to work with their dog through leadership, loyalty and love. Your companion will want to work with you because the training is fun and natural for your dog, rather than treat rewarding, which only teaches your dog to respond to food. We work with all breeds of dogs, all behavior types (aggressive or submissive) and with every family who wants a well mannered companion. All family members are welcome and encouraged to join in on the training!

A.L.L. Dog Training offers different types of training; it all depends on what you want to be able to do with your dog by the end of your program. You can choose from basic, intermediate, advanced or off leash training. All programs begin in your home and then progress to group classes. Everything we do is based on what you want your dog to learn. We offer everyone a free consultation, so that we may evaluate your dog in its home environment. Another purpose for the consultation is to give you an opportunity to sit down with the company owner and discuss in detail what you would like to achieve with your dog. Our goal is for you and your dog to get the help that you need and we are certain we can provide you with answers to all your questions!

As trainers, A.L.L. finds the most success by teaching you how to be a better leader for your dog! By having you as the leader, your dog learns to respect you and will turn do what you are asking. This is because you are becoming the alpha of the pack, which means your dog views you as the leader and wants to follow you. We do not use “treat training”, yelling, hitting or any other means of training that will either confuse or abuse your dog into doing what is asked of them. Our methods will entice your companion to do what you ask because they want your praise and not out of fear or bribery. We can start training as early as 6 weeks or as late as 15 years of age…no dog is too young or old to be in training. (If a puppy is enrolled in training home visits can begin immediately but, group classes will need to wait until the puppy has completed its vaccinations.)
