We are relationship-based, behavioral trainers. We don’t deliver robot dogs – we deliver balanced dogs. A well-known trainer and author, Marc Goldberg, says – “I can train your dog to follow its leader, but I can’t train it to not need one.” And we agree. To summarize Larry Krohn: Whether you realize it or not – if you have a dog, you are training it. The question is – what are you teaching it? How you live with your dog dictates how your dog lives with you. They learn from everything we do – good and bad. Obedience training doesn’t create a well-behaved dog. But properly raising a dog does. They are not humans and they are not our children. They are canines and must be respected as such. And they are a precious gift that is not here long enough. So enjoy every minute and never take them for granted. We have built an ecosystem featuring behavioral training, structured boarding, structured daycare, and group classes that is designed to educate humans, train dogs, and rebuild relationships. Our model has proven itself time and time again. We train dogs to live in a calm, follower state-of-mind, modify their problem behaviors, and educate humans on how to maintain a harmonious home through species specific fulfillment, calm, confident leadership and clear, consistent communication. We believe humans have a responsibility to fulfill their dogs’ needs first, since we brought them into our lives. We believe treating a dog “as a dog” is a beautiful thing – not a negative one. We believe a dog’s behavior shouldn’t be a performance, but rather a state-of-being. We believe dogs live in the moment and are eager to let go of negative experiences – ready to return to their natural, balanced state-of-being. We believe that no dog is too old to let go of unhealthy behaviors and choose a calmer way of life. And we believe that dogs will only follow, trust, respect, and be loyal to calm, confident, and consistent leaders.
