Our Vision

Cultivating joyful, well-behaved dogs through kindness and expert knowledge.

Our Mission

Provide effective, kindness based dog training and behavior modification for families with dogs.

Why Us?

We are not mass market dog training.

Every family, household, and dog is unique. We take time to create a training plan that fits your family and goals. We use the right combination of your home, our trainers and our facilities and formats to get you to your goals.

​

Our team becomes part of your dog's extended family. We get to know you, your family and your dog to guide you with the very best possible education.

Fear Free Certified Logo

We are a team of Fear Free Certified professionals and committed Fear Free practitioners who focus on kindess and positive reinforcement when training your dog. We do not use e-collars, prong collars, shock collars, bark collars or slip leashes to train. 

Our Team

Our team is serious about education. We offer proven, science based services that treat you and your family with kindness. Whether you have a new puppy or a seasoned senior, we are here for you and your pets for their lifetime if you'll have us.

​

Please, verify our credentials. Choosing the right professional for your dog is a very important decision.
