What they say about themselves
All About Dog Obedience operates as a family-run training facility in Newcastle, California, offering programs that span from foundational obedience through service dog preparation. According to their website, their trainers bring backgrounds in competitive obedience, Schutzhund, and protection dog work—though specific credentials aren't detailed.
The business describes its training philosophy as relationship-focused, emphasizing clear communication between owner and dog. Their site indicates they begin with reward-based methods using toys and positive reinforcement, while also incorporating what they call balanced training that includes consequences for unwanted behavior. They offer instruction in e-collar use as part of their program options.
One notable aspect of their approach involves how they evaluate new dogs: rather than making assessments over the phone, they bring dogs to their facility for a few hours of observation in what they describe as a neutral environment. Their service offerings include group classes at multiple skill levels—progressing from leash work up through off-leash obedience—along with private sessions, day care with built-in training practice, and boot camp programs. They note that some dogs from their service dog preparation classes have achieved federal certification, though the site doesn't specify how many. The business encourages families, including children, to participate in training sessions so that household members learn consistent handling techniques.
