Maximillion Dog Training

Maximillion Dog Training is a dog training studio that uses positive reinforcement, with one-on-one private sessions covering basic obedience, behavioral modification and non-competitive agility. The business also trains service dogs for PTSD and mobility support, works with dogs that have special needs or health conditions, and runs spring and summer pop-up group classes. Owners Zachariah and Martina Smith offer behavioral evaluations and consultations for dogs with reactivity, fear or aggression.

Sessions can be held at the studio on Oak Street in Oakland, in your home for a travel fee, or by video call for clients farther away. Household members are encouraged to attend, and the trainers answer questions between sessions by email, phone or social media. The studio does not offer board and train services.
