There is the California School of Golf at Twelve Bridges in Lincoln,
http://www.californiagolfschools.com/twelvebridgesgs.asp, 25 miles west of the Sacramento airport, but I don't know anything about it's putting instruction.
There is a School at Truckee CA northeast of Sacramento off I-80,
http://golf.shawguides.com/NorthstaratTahoeGolfSchool/?ci=20.619295&pi=35&q=2, that looks pretty inexpensive for a two-day stay, but who knows what they teach.
I have a good friend in Elk Grove just south of Sacramento who may be able to help with fitting or with schools. He's Larry Stanley, at OnePuttLarry@aol.com. I'm sending him a copy of this email so maybe he can help you find what you need.
You might also want to ask Jeffrey Weidel, a golf writer in Sacramento. His review of Wildhawk is here:
http://www.golfcalifornia.com/weidel7.htm. Here are more reviews by him:
http://www.travelgolf.com/departments/authorarchives/weidel.htm. I believe he is at the Roseville Press-Tribune these days,
http://www.thepresstribune.com/, (916) 786-8746.
I'd come to Sacramento at the drop of a hat if anyone can fly me out and pay me $200 for a day. I think I can find lodging without cost. let me know if there's interest out your way among a group or club.
