Training in Noe Valley

Dog Training Around Noe Valley

Noe Valley is sunny, hilly, and busy, with 24th Street packed with shoppers, strollers, and other dogs. Training happens where your dog lives: 24th Street storefronts, steep sidewalks, and the Upper Noe and Upper Douglass dog play areas.

Upper Noe Dog Play Area

At Day and Sanchez. A fenced run that gardeners estimate sees more than 100 dogs a day, so it's a big test for dog-to-dog manners.

Upper Douglass Dog Play Area

At 26th and Douglass. Rec and Park closes it some winters so the turf can recover.

24th Street

The neighborhood's main shopping street, between Chattanooga and Diamond. Great for practicing loose-leash walking past café tables and crowds.

Hills Everywhere

Steep streets mean a dog that pulls is a real problem on the way up and down.
