When there’s no structure, dogs don’t get to feel calm, safe, or clear on how to behave. && that’s when the jumping, barking, pulling, and “OMG, stop it” stuff happens.

Structure isn’t about being strict or robotic.
It’s about creating predictability, consistency, and safety—for both of you.

🧩 Your dog thrives on routine.
🧩 You thrive on not having to repeat yourself 87 times a day.
🧩 Everybody wins when the plan is clear.

Inside our training programs, we don’t just teach behaviors—we build the foundations that make those behaviors stick.

✨ Structure = secret sauce.
✨ Boundaries = love.
✨ Calm = possible.

If your house has started to feel more like a zoo than a zen den, maybe it’s time to consider a training plan!

Going on vacation or out of town for the weekend? Make sure your dog’s training progress doesn’t take one too.
⠀
Not all boarding is created equal and after a structured training program, your dog needs care that reinforces the rules, not rewrites them.
⠀
Graduate Boarding (for those who have completed training with us) =
✅ Same structure
✅ Same expectations
✅ Same calm
⠀
Because what we built isn’t just for show.
It’s for real life.
⠀
📅 Limited availability! Reach out to book your dates!

Please note we are closed 12/24-12/27.

Roxy headed home this morning after completing her 3-week training program! She was such a great dog to work with and has made incredible progress during her time here.

As with any transition, there may be a few bumps as she adjusts back to home life and tests those new boundaries, but I know her mom is ready and committed to upholding Roxy’s new skills and structure. Excited to see their continued success together! 🖤🐾

Dawg has officially completed her training program and is well on her way to being a polite and well-mannered gal! In just two short weeks, she made incredible progress—and her dedicated family has been all-in from the start, they are so ready to help her thrive in a calmer, more stable mindset.

We are so excited for her to be back home with her family and we already can’t wait to see her again in late August for graduate boarding and continued training!

Hard to believe these are my last available training spots for the year! I’m beyond grateful for such a full and busy year of doing what I love. None of this would be possible without all of you—thank you doesn’t even begin to cover it! 🖤🐾

Cannon wraps up his training program today and I couldn’t be more proud of how far he’s come! At around 7 or 8 years old, there’s a lot of history to work through—unpacking old habits and reshaping emotions and behaviors takes time, but Cannon has made amazing progress.

His mom still has some homework ahead: continuing to reinforce everything he’s learned and being his biggest advocate. But he’s already shown such improvement in his manners, confidence, and dog-to-dog interactions.

I’m so excited for this duo to head home and start enjoying the benefits of all their hard work together!

Sometimes a little tough love is exactly what you need to break through barriers. No judgment here, my goal is simply to help you recognize what might be holding you and your dog back, so you can grow together! 🖤🐾

Bear was such a fun dog to have for the week! We did a custom program for him with many outings as his mom had already put in so much work with him! I love the updates she continues to send me and seeing how Bear is thriving! Thank you for trusting me with him! Thank you so much for your review! 🖤
