Our Philosophy
Why We Put Training First
We believe that every dog deserves a chance to learn and we know that every dog has the potential to be AMAZING. Dog training is the key to establishing communication between dog and owner. If a dog doesn’t understand your language, it’s impossible to expect them to be able to follow directions or know that a behavior is unwanted. We believe in giving every dog the opportunity to learn so that they can live as a trusted, well-loved and valued family member. When the proper tools and guidance are in place, an incredible transformation begins to happen—dog owners develop a bond with their dog they never thought possible.
Our Training Approach
We don’t just train dogs empty obedience commands but instead teach them to:
• Make good choices on their own
• Access a calm state of mind
• Balance their energy on their own.
Our training approach is equally about training dogs AND dog owners. It’s just as important that dog owners learn how to lead their dogs as it is teaching dogs to follow.
We Train People Too
We don’t just see ourselves as dog trainers but people trainers, too. Since dog training is crucial for fostering a bond between a dog and their owner, we handle the heavy lifting while empowering owners with the tools for consistent and positive training. This approach helps dogs rely on their owners’ guidance, creating security and confidence. Trust is reciprocal; as owners understand their dogs better, communication improves. With deepened trust, dogs become more attentive and responsive, enhancing obedience and strengthening the emotional connection, leading to a fulfilling and enjoyable companionship.
Tools & Equipment
We believe that dog training is NOT a one-size-fits-all process. We have a variety of training tools available and are committed to working with dogs and their owners to find the best fit for reaching their goals and needs. These tools range from basic collars and leashes, to prong collars and electronic remote collars. We recommend an electronic remote collar system for all off-leash work but also use a variety of other non-electronic systems for training depending on your dog’s needs and your preferences.
