About ARF Dog Training

What they offer

ARF Dog Training serves Ventura County's Conejo Valley with private in-home training in Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Moorpark, Simi Valley, Westlake Village, Oak Park and nearby communities. It is run by Amanda Posen, a certified professional dog trainer who has trained dogs professionally since 2010. ARF stands for Actively Reinforcing Fun.

Programs

Puppy training tackles biting, chewing and potty accidents while building foundation skills. Adult dog training covers jumping, barking, leash pulling and everyday behavior problems with customized plans.
