Incredible Canines. Extraordinary Results.
Service Dog
Trainers
We support people with disabilities to train their own service dogs using positive, ethical training methods. Like Atlas - “we believe anyone who would benefit from a qualified assistance dog should have one.”®
Animal Behavior Consultants
We work to minimize the use of aversive stimuli and maximize the use of reinforcers. We assist owners in modifying problem behaviors, and in the process, help strengthen the relationship between person and pet.
Fear Free®
Trainers
Like you, we love pets like family and want what is best for them. Taking the “pet” out of “petrified” is the mission to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets by educating those who care for them.
Aggression Specialist
Our professional behavior consultant utilizes a trauma informed care approach to better
understand what may be driving the aggressive behavior in your dog.
This is integral in order to address it in a compassionate and effective manner.

From The Desk Of Our Chief Trainer
Dogs are amazing creatures! They offer love and loyalty. They make us smile with their silly antics. They give us comfort when we are in need and they are known far and wide as man’s best friend. Some dogs seem to come pre-programmed with perfect manners and a wide range of skills and behaviors. Some dogs seem to struggle to adapt to new environments. It takes time, patience, and skill to teach dogs how to be successful in our world. Dogs are not born understanding human language. Puppies don’t know that your words are meant to give them direction. Clear communication comes in many forms and it’s a two-way street. We all want our dogs to listen to us, but we must also listen to them. That partnership is the focus of my training.
