Daily Training
Best for owners who want more hands-on training and faster progress through consistent repetition.
Our Daily Training Programs are designed for dogs who need extra structure, consistency, or help working through behavioral challenges. We come to your home Monday through Friday for one-hour training sessions, giving your dog focused, professional training throughout the week.
Sessions can focus on obedience, leash skills, calmness, confidence, reactivity, and everyday behavior. You'll stay involved through updates and homework so you know exactly how to continue your dog's progress between sessions
2 Week Program $1,600
Great for establishing foundations, improving focus, and building better communication.
4 Week Program $2,200
Best for dogs working through reactivity, anxiety, or behavioral struggles that need more consistency and time.
Training is simple, sustainable, and supportive with real results that last.
Private Lessons
Best for owners who want hands-on coaching and are ready to practice between sessions.
Private lessons are one-hour, one-on-one sessions that take place in your home or a local setting where your dog naturally struggles. We'll work together on things like leash manners, reactivity, jumping, obedience, or confidence while teaching you exactly how to handle those situations on your own.
You'll receive direct feedback, practical steps, and clear homework so you know what to work on between sessions.
Private Lesson $100
Meet Mary! founder of OC Pup Pals and lifelong dog lover turned trainer.
Mary works one-on-one with Orange County dog owners to build calmer behavior, clearer communication, and practical obedience that holds up in everyday life.
Her approach focuses on meeting each dog where they are, helping owners understand what their dog needs, and creating training plans that are realistic to maintain at home.
Whether you're struggling with leash manners, reactivity, jumping, confidence, or everyday obedience, the goal isn't just to change your dog's behavior during a session. It's to give you the tools to continue that progress long after training ends.
Her goal is simple: to help you and your dog live calmer, happier lives together.
Training Built for Real Life
Your dog doesn't live in a training facility, so their training shouldn't only work in one.
We work with you and your dog in the environments where you actually need better behavior, whether that's walking through your neighborhood, settling calmly at home, greeting guests, or navigating distractions in public.
Training can help with:
Leash pulling
Reactivity
Jumping
Basic obedience
Recall
Confidence
Impulse control
Calmness at home
Is This Training Right for You?
OC Pup Pals may be a great fit if you're looking for help with:
Pulling or difficult walks
Reactivity around dogs or people
Jumping and overexcitement
Listening around distractions
Building confidence in nervous dogs
Better manners and obedience at home
Creating more structure in your dog's daily life
That's considerably stronger than "progress that feels sustainable."
