Good Dog, Now Pose. The dog-training summer camp for kids started by Noe Valleyan Paula Benton is in full swing and on leash at Noe Courts. Called Training Wheels SF, the program matches kids with dogs for the classes if they don’t have one of their own. Taking a break while our photographer looks for the right whistle is a quartet of 11-year-old girls and their canine companions. From left are Amaya Guzman with Stormy the Rottweiler; Isabella Spagat with Rascal, a Maltipoo; Julia Moore with Drake, a Bichon-Havanese; and Olivia Mitchel with Honey, a Goldendoodle.
