About SLO Life Dog Training

What they offer

SLO Life Dog Training is based in Nipomo and serves dog owners across the Central Coast, accepting select board-and-train clients from throughout California. It was founded by Valency and Clinton Jarvis, who trained through American Standard Dog Training Academy.

Training

Limited-enrollment programs build calmer, more reliable dogs through calm leadership, clear communication and real-world obedience: settling calmly, walking politely, holding place and responding around distractions. A balanced approach helps dogs make better choices when life gets exciting.

Real-world transfer

The trainers spend extensive hands-on time helping owners transfer training to home, neighborhood walks, parks, cafes, beaches, stores and vet visits, and they work with spouses, kids and anyone else involved in the dog's life.
