Small Paws Comfort is the creation of yours truly, Twin Sisters, Connie and Coco Bennett. As Group Fitness Instructors by profession, we’ve been training individuals to become strong and healthy since 1980.
We’ve always loved dogs and adding dog training to our people training just seemed like a natural progression. In 2008, we channeled that love into fostering small dogs for various Rescue organizations in our San Diego, California Community. We also took steps to acquire Dog training certification.
Funny enough, we’ve found that many of the successful training techniques used to train our human clients, work just as well when applied to our dogs!
We’ve now developed a niche service offering, “travel trained dogs.”
Our dogs come to us from breeders, rescue as well as owner relinquished. They arrive untrained and unsocialized. We then roll up our sleeves and get to work preparing them to fit into your lifestyle. Namely, carry bag training, crate training, car training and leash training.
We also believe strongly in obedience training as a way to to bolster travel training skills. To that end, it’s our goal to have our little ones complete Canine Good Citizen Training.

What's the difference between Obedience Training and TRAVEL training?

03
Which training style is better?
Both styles are excellent and ideally, a dog should have both. However, if you could only choose one, it would be wise to choose the style that best fits your needs. For example, If you’re looking for a canine to accompany you in your day to day activities, Travel training would probably offer you the most benefits.
