SixPaws Dog Training — Dog Training in Ventura, CA

SixPaws Dog School is owned and operated by Veronique Pineau, who opened the Ventura business in 2015 after completing a 10-month professional canine instructor program in Switzerland. The website identifies her as a UCS Certified Dog Trainer and states that her Professional Canine Instructor Certification is associated with the Swiss Canine Association, United Kennel Clubs International, and accreditation by the Swiss Federal Veterinary Office. She is also a professional member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers.

Training is owner-involved and offered primarily through In-Home Training and Group Classes. Private sessions take place at the client's home or another location such as a park and are customized to the dog's temperament and the owner's goals. Programs address basic obedience, leash pulling, barking, jumping, nipping, chewing, separation anxiety, resource guarding, puppy development, and related behavior concerns.

SixPaws explicitly states that it uses only gentle, force-free positive reward methods. Training relies on treats, praise, motivation, positive reinforcement, owner education, and helping clients understand canine body language and communication. Current prices and 2026 class schedules are published on the website. Private services begin with an assessment or puppy consultation, while Group Classes are held at Juanamaria Park in Ventura. No residential Board and Train program, Virtual Training program, business insurance statement, or formal results guarantee is currently published.
