Meet Your Trainers
Veteran coaches craft calm, reliable dogs and empower confident owners. They prioritize positive methods, balancing when needed. With clear techniques and detailed plans, they deliver real–world results.
Alison — Behavior Depth, Communication Clarity
Alison has 30+ years of experience and has worked with hundreds of dogs in obedience and behavior modification. She uses a balanced approach focused on the clearest, least-intrusive way to communicate with each dog, tapping natural drives to shape behavior. Dog well-being comes first; no single method fits all. Her goal is a relationship built on mutual respect and cooperation, so dogs choose to work in harmony with their owners. Strong social skills make a dog welcome anywhere—and a true asset to the family and community.

Lauren — Precision, Balance, Outcomes

She began competing in AKC events at 11, and at 14 became one of the youngest handlers to win at the Westminster Kennel Club show.

Lauren follows a balanced approach, partnering with owners to create comprehensive, individualized programs that produce lasting results.

Ready to Start?
If you want a dog who comes when called, walks without pulling, and relaxes around life’s distractions, you don’t need to do it alone. We’ll give you the plan, coach your timing, and celebrate your wins.
Client-First, Results-Driven
How We Work
Positive-first. Balanced when appropriate. Humane, transparent, and documented. We outline tools (if any), criteria, and hand-off steps so you can sustain results without confusion.
- Owner coaching is the lever. We demo, you practice, we fine-tune.
- Written plans with criteria ladders (when to advance, when to reset).
- Local context. Drills for beaches, patios, sidewalks, scooters, crowds.
- Simple execution. 5–10 minute micro-drills, written homework, progress check-ins.
- Marker systems, reward placement, and leash mechanics taught in plain language.
Programs we lead: Private Dog Training • In-Home Dog Training • Group Dog Classes • Board & Train • Online Dog Training • Puppy Pre-School
