Safety. Cleanliness. Playtime.℠
We believe training should be tailored to you and your dog’s unique needs. Our goal is to help you build a strong relationship with your dog, grounded in mutual trust and respect.
We currently offer day training, behavior evaluations, private lessons, and group classes. Whether you’re working on everyday manners, specific behaviors, or simply want to strengthen your bond, we’re here to help.
Private lessons
Behavior Consult
Private lessons are $75 and last about an hour each. This is a great option for dogs that need one-on-one training, may not benefit from a group class right away, have a history of reactivity, or if you desire specific cues taught.

Behavior consults are $100 and last about an hour. This is for dogs who are having behavioral issues that need management and training that is customized to dog and owner.

Our Trainers
Head Trainer
Felicia
I am a certified trainer through the Victoria Stilwell Academy, specializing in positive, force-free training. As a “crossover” trainer, I previously used balanced methods, but I shifted my approach after realizing that dogs learn best when they feel safe, respected, and free from stress. Dogs are sentient beings who deserve both kindness and fair expectations.
My passion is helping create a harmonious relationship between dog and handler - where expectations are clear, dogs are rewarded for their work, and a lifelong bond is built on trust and respect.
I’ve been immersed in the dog world for over 20 years. It began when I was just 9 years old, showing in Junior Handling with a Schipperke, and by 11, I had my first show dog. I went on to handle my Bouvier des Flandres to his American, Canadian, and United Kennel Club Championships, along with several Rally titles.
From there, my journey continued into obedience, sport training, and eventually behavioral work. Some of the challenges I faced with my own dogs, particularly my Bouvier des Flandres, opened the door to working more deeply with training and behavior. For over a decade, I specialized in working with reactive and aggressive dogs, which gave me invaluable experience and insight. While I learned a great deal from those years, the most important shift in my career came when I transitioned from balanced methods to force-free training. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to have incredible mentors who poured their knowledge into me, encouraged me to grow, and guided me in shaping a more compassionate, evidenced-based approach to training.
At home, life is full and lively with my seven dogs: Rhett, a yellow Lab; Sky, a German Shepherd; Reagan, a Pomeranian mix; Yeti, a Bouvier des Ardennes; Frogberry, a American Hairless Terrier; Atticus, a American Hairless Terrier; and Vasanízo a Wirehaired Vizsla.

I’m lucky enough to share my life with three amazing dogs Koda, Maya, and Jasper. They keep me on my toes and fill my days with joy. Over the years, I’ve taught them lots of tricks and life skills, and I love seeing how much they enjoy learning and working with me. Training has become one of my favorite ways to connect with my dogs, and it’s what inspired me to help others do the same. I know firsthand how rewarding it is to watch your dog grow in confidence and understanding, and I enjoy guiding people through that journey. Whether it’s teaching a new skill, building everyday manners, or just finding fun ways to engage with our dogs, I believe training should always strengthen the bond we share with them.
Kelsey
I have been an avid dog lover for as long as I can remember, and my passion for dogs has continued to grow throughout my eight years of professional experience in the dog industry. I share my home with five dogs - Winchester, Browning, Ammo, Remington, and Ranger. I have a special interest in working with challenging dogs and enjoy learning more about training, behavior, and the “why” behind what dogs do. I believe every dog deserves to be understood as an individual, and I love finding ways to help them feel more confident, supported, and successful.
Whether I am helping a dog build new skills, work through big feelings, or simply feel more comfortable in their environment, I bring patience, curiosity, and genuine care to every dog I work with. My goal is always to help dogs and their people grow together through trust, communication, and connection.
