Zen Dog Training teaches simple, effective, SPCA-recommended methods for peacefully changing dog behavior. Dogs and their owners are instructed in personal, one-on-one sessions using modern animal behavior theory. Zen Dog Training also offers both group and private training options. Private training is taught by Gordon Fontaine, SPCA Certified Dog Trainer. Gordon founded Zen Dog Training in 2005, and is a graduate of the San Francisco SPCA Dog Training Academy.
