About Woof work dog training

What they offer

Woof Work Dog Training, in the Santa Cruz area off Highway 17, is for dogs who want to work. It specializes in training dogs for canine occupations, including search and rescue, protection, hunting (waterfowl retrieving, pointing and trailing), human remains detection and conservation scent work, and also provides obedience training and behavior modification.

Formats

Private sessions are held on site and typically last one and a half to two hours. Day Training is a productive day program focused on training, exercise and new skills, with drills to use at home. Boarding dogs spend the day in and out of training and activities.

Working dog programs

Training and certification programs for handler teams cover wilderness air scent, tracking and trailing, community disaster search, human remains detection, and medical alert and assistance. Dogs entering these programs need a solid foundation first.
