A few years back, trained my wonderful dog "Indy" here. Efficient and effective, plus, they truly cared about the dogs and the results!

If i could give no stars i would. i've tried to come and participate in rally classes three times and i have been met with attitude and snarky comments every time. the "trainers" are unable to accept that not everyone wants to hold the leash the same way and i was glared at for using an e collar with my dog. if you don't do everything their way they tell you that you are doing it wrong. save your money and find a real club that embraces different training styles.

I've been involved in dog activities most of my life, and I would rank Mt Diablo dog training club as one of the best. It has a good variety of training classes as well as fun classes like tricks, scent detection, puppy beginner and canine good citizen awards. The instructors and members have been friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the training classes, fun classes, and the club itself.

I am aware a long history of great trainings that has been done through this club. That is why I am having my springer spaniel start at the Headstart program and then proceed through more training in the future. I am serious about making sure that my dog is safe and that I know my responsibility to her as well. I have full confidence in Mount Diablo dog training club.
