We are a positive reinforcement dog training company that exclusively uses fear free and force free dog training methods. Our focus is on teaching people how to train their dog using the most effective & humane training protocols. For that reason we will never use or advise that you use aversive equipment (choke, shock or prong collars, etc) of any kind.

What sets us apart is the care that we take when getting to understand you, your dog, and the problems that you are both facing. We tailor every piece of advice to your needs and your unique situation so that you’re getting realistic, doable exercises that help get you to your goals.

Our clients often describe our methods as holistic, but as science backed dog trainers we tend to think of it as a thorough, multi step process where we consider all aspects of your dog’s life. We look beyond the unwanted behaviours you’re seeing to understand what caused them in the first place. This allows us to pinpoint what’s holding you back from reaching your goals and enjoying the relationship you dream of with your dog.

Once we determine why your dog is doing what they’re doing, we start creating solutions by designing a custom plan that covers all of your (and your dog’s) needs. This is where you’ll receive your comprehensive training plan that includes customized exercises, videos, and illustrated handouts.

Our methods involve things like treats, games based learning, clicker training, real life rewards (non food-based stuff), desensitization, counter conditioning, teaching alternative and incompatible behaviors and beyond. Our bag of tricks runs deep! Way beyond what you’ll find scrolling youtube or reddit.

At the end of the day we strive to create training plans that empower you and your dog to live your best lives together. You and your dog deserve to live your life with minimal stress, frustration, and anxiety. We’re here to help you get there.
