About Maximillion Dog Training

What they offer

Maximillion Dog Training is a positive-reinforcement training studio in Oakland owned by Zachariah and Martina Smith. Using a science-based approach, the team works with all breeds on everything from basic obedience to behavior modification, and focuses on teaching owners to communicate with their dogs.

Services

One-on-one private sessions are offered at the studio, in the client's home or as online video training, booked to fit the owner's schedule. A three-level obedience program builds the dog's knowledge step by step, and behavior modification training addresses specific challenges. The studio also teaches fun, non-competitive agility, trains service dogs for PTSD and mobility support, and hosts spring and summer pop-up group classes for socialization.

Getting started

Consultations and behavioral evaluations help owners understand their dog's behavior, and every client gets a customized training plan. The studio partners with local shelters and pet businesses.
