Jennifer Bazan, who leads Dogz101 LLC in Redwood City, brings an unusual background to dog training. According to her site, she grew up in a family that bred AKC-champion sporting dogs and competed in Junior Showmanship at Westminster for five consecutive years. She now competes in PSA and French Ring sports and serves as president of both the Bay Area Ring Club and Bay Area PSA Club. Her training work focuses particularly on severe reactivity and aggression cases.
The business describes itself as offering a balanced training approach, with programs ranging from a five-week puppy class to intensive board-and-train stays. Their 35-day behavior modification program, according to their site, is designed for dogs with aggression, separation anxiety, or environmental fears, with trainers testing dogs in real-world settings like parks and downtown areas. They state that all training packages begin with an in-person evaluation to match the dog's needs with an appropriate approach.
Beyond training, Dogz101 combines grooming, daycare, and boarding under one operation. The team includes trainers with backgrounds in shelter work and bully breed advocacy, plus a grooming manager with eight years of experience. They also administer AKC Canine Good Citizen testing and issue official certificates. The business has operated in the Bay Area since 2017.
