Dog Training Around NOPA
NOPA sits between Alamo Square, the Panhandle, and the restaurants on Divisadero Street. Training happens where your dog lives: busy Divisadero sidewalks, the Panhandle path, and the Alamo Square hill.
Alamo Square
Home to the Alamo Square Dog Play Area, an official off-leash area, plus crowds of visitors photographing the Painted Ladies. Good practice for calm around people.
Divisadero Street
Restaurants, outdoor seating and steady foot traffic. A great place to work on loose leash walking and settling when you stop.
The Panhandle
A leashed path busy with bikes, runners and other dogs, right at the edge of the neighborhood.
