You can rest assured we use only modern, science-based humane training methods for an unrivaled training experience.

Thank you, Holden! We have learned so much and it's really made a difference in what we feel like we can do with Billie in our house and out in the world. She's much happier and we're happier too! Thank you so much.

Thank you soooooo much for the wonderful training. We leaned a lot! It covered many things that we were wondering what to do. I really like the positive way of training. Thank you so much!

Thanks again for being the remarkable teacher you are! I have learned so much from you both: Watching your masterful skills with individual dogs, and practicing all your suggestions. It's been a true pleasure to be in your class. I will miss your entertaining, highly intuitive self. Kirby and I love you!
