Our leadership team of certified behavior consultants, board-certified veterinary behaviorists, and business and technology specialists are working hard every single day to bring you and your dog a learning experience like no other.
Walk with the dreamers,
the believers, the courageous,
the cheerful, the planners, the doers,
the successful people
with their heads in the clouds
and their feet on the ground.
Let their spirit ignite a fire within you
to leave this world
better than when you found it.
–Wilferd Peterson
Since 2020, we’ve had the incredible honor of working alongside families and their dogs, helping them build more peaceful, joyful lives together. 💛
Our team’s combined experience adds up to over 190 years as professional dog trainers, behavior consultants, and board-certified veterinary behaviorists. Each week, we’re invited into the homes, neighborhoods, and lives of about 80 families, where we run personalized training sessions tailored to each dog’s needs and goals.
A big bonus of the work we do is our close collaboration with the @animalbehaviorclinic, which allows us to consult on complex cases and ensure our clients receive well-rounded, science-backed care. Working hand-in-hand with veterinary behaviorists gives us the tools to support dogs and their people more fully, with compassion and expertise.
Whether we’re working in the comfort of your living room, your local park, or a carefully arranged environment for structured behavior work, we’re deeply grateful for your trust. Thank you for letting us be part of your journey—we never take that privilege for granted.
Here’s to many more years of learning, growing, and thriving together. 🐶❤️
