Give your dogs and family freedom through love and leadership.
Start your puppy on the right track or teach your old dog new tricks…yes, it can be done!
Grace with Standards
This is my philosophy in my training and life. I believe dogs should be treated with grace (a combination of love and empathy) and that there is a standard they should be held to in order to live successfully in the human world.
“Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”

Feeding rituals are imperative when working to redirect unwanted behaviors. These dogs are from five different households and two of them had histories of food reactivity...not anymore!
Rip & Bella (Bella was a highly reactive Wheaton Terrier with an extreme bite history. She rehabbed and rehired in 3 months)
Indy had a human and dog bite history. She stayed with us for 6 months for 'rehab' and was rehomed to an amazing family!
Calvin (white dog) was another last chance dog. He had a bite history and was reactive to other dogs. He now lives happily with country singer Kayla Ruby (@kaylarubymusic).
Tucker learning from the boxers to stay out of the kitchen.
