About Shaping K9s

What they offer

Shaping K9s is run by Lydia, whose training career began with free structured socialization walks where Sacramento dogs could practice walking nicely on a leash. Services now include 90-minute training sessions at your home or a local park in Sacramento, one-hour virtual sessions with a custom training plan, group classes, workshops and group walks open to reactive dogs.

Approach

Training is relationship-based and rooted in free shaping, with patience, clear communication and positive reinforcement. Every session ends with clearly defined homework.

Getting started

Book through the site's calendar or register for a group class or walk.
