“Thanks for all your help with Maggie. She has greatly benefited from your hands on training. Maggie now LOVES the water and we take her to the beach to swim regularly. This was an issue before your help with her. She is also very socialized and has a sweet disposition with other dogs. You have also taught Chris and I how to relate better with her and the other dogs around us. Keep up the good work!

–Chris, Nancy and Maggie, Ventura CA

Finally! A dog trainer with training in behavior therapy! Joan’s unique and highly effective methods and understanding of dogs, their social structures, and how they relate to people is a welcome and much needed addition to our dog-loving community! If you have a problem dog, don’t give up without consulting Joan. Better yet, start your puppies off right by enrolling in Inquisitive Canine puppy classes!

Professional Dog Training Services for the Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles Area

We offer dog training classes, workshops and private training designed to help you better understand your canine companion. Our curriculum features simple and easy-to-replicate techniques designed to motivate your dog to learn with you – so you can positively reinforce the behaviors you want while limiting and preventing inappropriate habits.

We also offer educational outreach programs through Inquisitive Canine’s educational public programs to help the members of the local community enrich their relationships with their pets.

Dog Training Classes

Our classes teach more than just canine obedience — they educate you on the fundamentals of canine “parenting” by focusing on how your dog learns and communicates so that you can successfully coach and motivate your dog to develop good manners. Learn more…
