Why Us?
-
We are more than just dog trainers!
With our unique approach, we will guide you through the woes of puppy raising, surviving teenage madness or healing your dog’s trauma/fears while helping you create a lasting bond.
With us you’ll explore:
What your dog is communicating to you
Why they are behaving a certain way
What you can do to change their behaviour or reactions
How to prevent behaviour concerns & have a well mannered dog
How you can help them trust, connect & listen to you… so you can have the dog of your dreams, and so you can be the human of theirs
-
Our goal is to help you understand your dog & learn how to effectively communicate with them so you can both thrive. Changing behaviour, or having the dog of your dreams first requires awareness! We are here to empower you!
-
Working with us is anything but transactional. We are as invested in your progress as you are. We endeavour to act as your support system for years to come.
We promise not to cut corners on solutions. We aim to ensure the ROOT cause of your dog's behaviour is addressed, taking more of a bottom up HOLISTIC approach to helping you reach your goals. We believe in integrative training methods, not quick fixes that will cause you more problems in the long run. Slow & steady wins the race. This is a journey, we endeavour to embark on WITH you. -
We work with clients who are prepared to invest energy and time into their relationship with their dog. We know you are busy - so we aim to bring FUN to the training & make your homework achievable.
We are not here to offer you with quick fixes that will harm your relationship long term - although our tips will often create quick results.
We do not train your dog FOR you, we train YOU how to communicate with them and understand them, so you can be empowered for years to come.
We are as invested in your progress as you are.
Training Methods
We use holistic, non-intrusive, science supported and modern force free training methods. With our unique approach, we intend to empower you, educate you, and motivate you, so that you can transform your relationship & their behaviour.
-
We use food, play, and praise to reward your dog. We do not use harmful/painful equipment or force to achieve your training goals. The quality of care and support we provide will always come first. We value connection over overt control. And don't get us wrong, safety & control comes WITH connection!

We promise to always have your dogs best interest at heart, even if it means we have to advocate FOR them, to you!
