Martha Ghofranian

Dog trainer in San Jose

Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

Martha is originally from Long Island and moved to the Bay Area over 20 years ago. She has always had a love of dogs but childhood allergies prevented her from having one of her own. When she got her first dog Ruby at the age of 23 her whole world changed. Martha now has 4 dogs (Jasper 14, Lovey 10, Denali 7 & Cheyenne 4). Martha has had customer service related jobs since she was 16, from managing a toy store to office manager at her wife's insurance agency, she has always loved helping people. A deeper appreciation for dog training came when Martha met Christine Salazar, the founder of Dodger's Paws. Christine saw her love for dogs and encouraged her to shadow her and learn as much as she could. Since then Martha has attended countless hours of seminars by some of the best dog trainers (Suzanne Clothier, Hannah Branigan, Amy Cook, and many more) and attended and completed the Karen Pryor Clicker Academy and is an Accredited Dog Trainer through the IAABC. Martha is a NASDA Judge and cofounder of the dog sports club, Dogs With Rattitude. Her love of all things NASDA related came from competing in the various games with her dogs and seeing the life changing affects it had on the dogs and the relationship she had with her dogs.
