Gentle Touch Pet Training San Luis Obispo, California

An excellent, full spectrum dog/people training facility.

I’m so pleased with and grateful for Teah’s Puppy Preschool class, especially during times of the pandemic. My puppy was able to get the crucial socialization with other dogs that he needed and I learned a lot from the class as well. All of the staff are wonderful and love what they do! Ghost had a blast and we’ll be returning in October for Kindergarten!

I am really thankful for this place!

Teah is a very kind and gentle trainer who is full of knowledge. We learned a lot and look forward to continuing training at home. We might have made some lasting puppy friends if our little Aussie wasn’t so shy, but that was one thing we could not untrain.

Always a fun learning experience! My dog might be getting old, but she still gets excited every time we turn down their street! She and I both come away from their many classes with positive energy and boosted confidence!

Our dog took the Elementary Clicker Training Class. I was skeptical at first, but you are taught how to train your dog with a clicker! Excellent class! My dog was able sit, stand, and finally do a 'down' after the 6th week! All the things taught in this class your dog learn will learn in time!

Amazing puppy class, great trainers. Very much worth it

We have taken our dogs through puppy training and the nose work. They have turned out great. All our "kids" will go to Gentle Touch Pet Training.

Just attended the NACSW Odor Recognition Test on January 27, 2019 at Gentle Touch Pet Training. The venue was excellent and the test was well organized with helpful staff. The CO of the test was positive and professional. We false alerted on one of the odors and the CO gave us constructive comments afterward. Everyone working the event was so positive it was impossible to be disappointed about missing one odor. We are looking forward to the next ORT held at Gentle Touch so we can add the final odor to our box ;-)

Toffee's favorite place for nose work training

Just wish we had more time to learn in class the new training.

My Australian Shepherd puppy and I have learned a great deal in the Elementary clicker class! He is learning wonderful manners. He is now in the Agility classes and learning wonderful skills and burning lots of energy. The instructors and the facility are magnificent!

These people are amazing! Puppy class was terrific and personal training with Lisa couldn't have been better. Thank you, Gentle Touch!

We took the puppy course. Good training for basic obedience.

Been going here for the last few months doing Nose Work with my dog Lilly and have really been enjoying it!

A very good group of people. Intro class is great.

Very helpful and understanding group! We are working through the 'Fiesty Fidos' program and have benefitted greatly from it already. Thanks training facilities are awesome and all of the staff are very pleasant.

Love this place and so does my Bear

We loved our puppy training with Gentle Touch. We hope to return for another training in a few months!

Passionate about their business, these guys train REALLY well using "positive" methods instead of punishment. Highly recommended.

Nice facility. Love the agility training.

We are having great time at Gentle Touch! Great trainers!

I have been taking classes there for a number of years, starting with a Feisty Fido class for my reactive dog. Great Instructors, great facility with indoor and outdoor training areas. Only wish it was closer to my house.

Trainers are great! Very knowledgeable and very friendly.

I had a GREAT experience years ago with Gentle Touch Pet Training and was able to live happily ever after with my Akitas until they passed at 13 and 14 years old. We applied what we learned to our Pitbull mix and 8 years later he's STILL the perfect dog. We recently got a visit from Teah to work with our 2 year old Boxer and 1 year old Boxer mix. She gave us great refresher tips on positive reinforcement training and shed lots of light on the breed and their age playing a role in some of their CURRENT behavior. As before within minutes she had our dogs doing everything she asked of them. We're starting nose work training on Monday. So excited!
