Meet our trainers
All of our trainers are professional, experienced, and certified and only use force-free, positive-reinforcement methods to train your dog. Training this way means your dog truly learns what you want them to do to, problem-solves, and enjoys lifelong learning. Punishment based training is ineffective and only teaches the dog to perform a task to avoid the punishment. Science and skill combine to train our dogs a better way, making it fun and accessible to everyone whether you are 10 years old or 100!
