7 Drayton Michaels / CTC, Dog Star Daily Blogger
Drayton Michaels is a 2007 graduate of The SFSPCA Academy for Dog Trainers. He has worked professionally with dogs since 2000. He owns and runs Urban Dawgs and Pit Bull Guru with his wife Vyolet, also a graduate of the Academy. In addition to his full time career as a positive reward based dog trainer Drayton is producing a documentary film entitled Judging the Innocent. The goal of the film is to show the true nature of the Pit Bull dog, as a kind and loving creature that has been unjustly profiled by the media and abused by the criminals of society. Drayton is the proud dog dad to Mojo a 9 year old male Pit Mix and Keyshia a 6 year old female Pit Bull. When he is not training dogs Drayton can be found making music or in the kitchen cooking.
8 Metro Dog
Metro Dog was founded in 2004 by Alison Smith of Canine Culture and Diane Livoti of Dog Tired! Pet Service, who saw the need for a holistic pet care center in the East Bay. Canine Culture and Dog Tired! merged to form Metro Dog.

After two years of searching for a location, we found the perfect venue at 3117 Pierce Street, located conveniently close to the Central Avenue exits of I-80 and I-580 in Richmond, California. We’re just half a mile from Point Isabel and the Albany Bulb! (see a map)

We aim to serve the pet care and educational needs of the entire Bay Area, with full boarding, day care, dog walking, pet sitting, and training services. We also boast onsite Pawsh, a one-stop shop for all your pet’s necessities and accessories, and Spruce, our in-house green grooming salon.

We look forward to serving you and your four-pawed family member!
