The Introduction

So in case you were wondering what this is all about ...

Our goal is to help people have the best possible relationship with their dogs and to enjoy their lives together.

We have had the pleasure of working with literally thousands of dogs of all different ages, breeds, and personalities and have helped them recover from anxiety, reactivity, severe human and dog aggression, and everything in between.

Our Philosophy

A Balanced Approach

We aim to achieve extraordinary results through our training, and to develop happy and confident dogs while nurturing a strong bond founded on love, trust and respect. We do this through a method known as “Balanced Training” which uses traditional and contemporary training styles, combining the most effective and efficient aspects of each to get superior results.

FORM A BOND

First, we build a bond with your dog while introducing the concept of leash pressure and teaching and rewarding desired behaviors with treats and praise.

INTEGRITY

We do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Forming a bond builds confidence and a desire to participate in the work!

SET EXPECTATIONS

Once a bond has been established, and your dog has a clear understanding of our expectations we will continue to reinforce desired behaviors.

EXCELLENCE

We aim to be the best at everything we do. We'll reinforce desired behaviors with rewards, and discourage poor and undesired behaviors with corrections.

REMAIN CONSISTENT

Now that a relationship has been formed through love, trust and respect, we are able to reinforce the training by remaining consistent.

DEDICATION

Dedicated to the team, client, and cause. This means consistency in our expectations and our continued practice. Consistency leads to a happy and confident dog who views you as a strong and fair pack leader.
