Helping busy dog-lovers become confident and proud pet parents through customized, sustainable training and coaching.
Philosophy
Reliable Results from Learning to Lead
Dogs are pack animals, and they constantly evaluate where others fit into the pack pecking order: superiors, peers, or subordinates. In unclear situations and/or in the absence of a perceived superior, dogs make “dog-decisions” based on genetically predisposed or learned behavior. They see their actions as either productive or unproductive behavior. We harness that innate understanding to shape their behavior to meet your needs.
Our training is food based. We teach dogs that “it’s not about what you did to get paid; it’s what you did to stop getting paid.” This methodology makes expectations clear. From experience, we know that training must be more difficult than real life to achieve reliable results. We progress to proofing with environmental distractions after dogs understand the expectations to garner consistent results.
Our program is for those willing to learn how to be the leader of the pack. If you are ready to take the stress out of your life and relieve your dog’s stress by setting clear expectations and sustainable boundaries, please complete the short intake form below to start the conversation.
