Expert Dog Training in Marin County
Transform your dog's behavior with professional training.
Welcome to 3 Dogs Training & Care Co.
Here, dogs are family and compassion leads the way!!!
I'm Krystle, CEO of 3 Dogs Training & Care CO. a professional dog walker, trainer, and lifelong animal lover based in the Bay Area. Inspired by my three dogs (Phillie-Lou, Dutchess and Hannah-Bell), I created this business to offer thoughtful, consistent care for dogs and their humans. An added bonus to this endeavor was that I got to involve my aging dogs into my business model and never leave them home alone. My method of training is positive reinforcement and clear set boundaries for both dogs and humans alike; this method works for dogs of all temperaments.
With nearly two decades of experience working with dogs, I bring a calm, clear, and a customized approach to every walk, training session, or housesit. Whether you need help reinforcing obedience basics, managing behavior, or just giving your pup a reliable routine — I'm here to support both you and your dog thrive.
But this is more than a dog business — it's the beginning of a bigger dream.
My long-term vision is to build a rescue sanctuary and bed & breakfast for dog lovers on a beautiful piece of land in the Bay Area. Every service I provide today helps move one step closer to that future: a safe, healing space where dogs, people, and nature come together.
Thank you for supporting this journey. When you work with 3 Dogs Training & Care Co, you become part of the pack...and part of the dream.
Transformative Training
Clear Communication. Calm Leadership. Lasting Change.
With 17 years' experience training dogs. Our training sessions are designed to strengthen the bond between you and your dog through structure, consistency, and compassionate correction. Whether you're building foundational skills or working through behavioral issues, each session is tailored to your dog's needs and energy; no cookie-cutter solutions here.
Private In-Home Training Sessions
Ideal for dogs learning the basics or reinforcing commands in a less distracting environment as well as addressing mild to moderate behavioral challenges (barking, jumping, leash pulling, door manners, etc.). Best for dog parents who want personalized strategies and lasting results.
Leash Training
Is your dog pulling on the leash during walks and making it difficult for you to enjoy your time together? Are they reactive towards other dogs during your walk? Our leash training programs can teach your dog to walk calmly on a leash and make walks more enjoyable for both of you.
Trick Training
Want to teach your dog some fun and impressive tricks? From simple tricks like shake/high-five to complex tricks like rolling over and playing dead, we've got you covered! Fur-parents love to show off their dogs' new tricks and dogs love being a part of the party. Win-Win!!!
Potty Training
Is your dog struggling with potty training? Our trainers make it simple and can help you establish a routine and teach your dog to use the designated potty area with positive reinforcement techniques.
Behavior Support
Got a dog that’s barking at the neighbor, lunging on leash, or not getting the message? We’ll work together to identify the why behind the behavior and introduce tools that shift it safely. Available during private sessions, walks or extended sitting stays.
OVERNIGHT CARE FOR PETS, DROP-IN CARE & HOUSE SITTING
Overnight Care with Your Pet
When you book with 3 Dogs Training & Care your dog stays in their familiar environment while receiving loving care, structured companionship, and mental stimulation. This is a great time for training reinforcement, especially for solo dogs or dogs with routines in place that thrive better under stability.
Drop-In Care
Is your pet okay to be home alone for a few hours? Just need a trusted person to check in on them while you are away. Schedule a drop-in where your care provider can administer medication, feed, provide fresh water, let your pet outside for a little bit and give them some loving support while you are out.
House Sitting Without Pets
Home care you can count on — even if you don’t have pets. Whether you're traveling for work, heading on vacation, or leaving a second home unoccupied, you deserve peace of mind while you're away. 3 Dogs Training & Care also offers general house sitting for non-pet homes, focusing on security, routine upkeep, and daily presence.

Why Walk With Us?
Structured Walks for Calm, Confident Dogs
Our walks are more than just potty breaks; they’re intentional, enriching sessions that promote calm energy, leash manners, and a sense of routine. Every outing is designed to meet your dog where they’re at, whether that means a solo stroll to build confidence or a structured group walk (or hike) for more social dogs.
