Nothing in Life for Free; the dog must have a certain level of structure in their life to remain stable. I am a "Balanced" trainer and I believe in both positive and negative punishment/reinforcement.

Additional Details

We provide in-home private training for your family, that includes the dog? After an initial assessment, you will receive an individual custom training plan to meet your goals. This can include us working with dog while you are at work, training with the family, kids, or other dogs. It may be a combination of some or all. The plan will be built to fits the needs of your dog(s) as well as your family's.

We work with common behavior problems such as leash manners, jumping, digging, and barking as well as more severe behavior problems such as leash aggression, aggression and separation anxiety.

Did you just adopt a Rescue? We can help you understand your new friend and help them with the transition into your home and new life.
New puppy? We can help you house train, potty train, teach manners and appropriate play with children.

We provide individual walking as well as group hikes. Hiking groups are small and the dogs are kept in the same group.

We also offer grooming. Our groomer has 4 years experience grooming in a pet store. She recently attended and graduated from Trish King's Canine Behavior Academy in May 2010. She also walks for us on some days and has a hiking group.

We do offer Pet sitting to our existing clients and/or only after we have an established relationship with you and your pet whether that be from previous walking, training and or grooming.


Every dog and family needs something a little different. We pride ourselves on working closely with families so they meet their goals and their dog stays in a “Forever Home”. ?
