Wouldn’t it be nice having a dog your friends and family actually want to be around?
How would it feel if your dog listened to you every time, the first time you said it? Imagine your dog being an absolute joy to be around, your friends and family telling you that your dog is the most well-behaved dog they ever saw.

How would it feel to relax knowing your dog will not see another animal and run away from you? Imagine taking your dog to the beach, on hikes, or to the park without needing a leash. Enjoy a dog who is completely reliable and stays by your side.
Your guests will shower you with compliments about your dog and will brag to all their friends how enjoyable your dog is to be around. They will be even more amazed when your dog listens equally well at their house.

Regain your freedom and connection to the outside world. Imagine your dog is perfectly behaved and always paying attention to you on and off-leash. How would it feel knowing your dog not only listens but also actually helps you when needed?
Perhaps you suffer from anxiety, depression, fear, panic attacks, or anger and your life has become increasingly lonely and stressful. If you are a returning Veteran suffering from PTSD imagine how much calmer you would feel if your dog could detect and stop anxiety or panic attacks from happening.
More than being just a friend your dog will become your battle buddy and literally have your back. When you are in crowds or standing in lines he will be trained to create space and watch your six.
If your dog became a trained psychiatric service dog and could interrupt your negative emotions from getting out of control then you could be yourself again.

The sooner you train your dog, the fewer problems you and your dog will have in the future. Our programs are designed for both puppies and mature dogs.
House Breaking
Having a pet can be the best experience in the world, unless your pet is not housebroken. We can help you eliminate this problem permanently.
Basic Obedience
We focus on getting your dog’s attention first, then teach more complicated skills. With proper training techniques, your pet will learn to listen to commands like heel, sit, down, stay, come etc.
Problem Solving
Bad habits such as digging, chewing, jumping up, play biting, and many other frustrating behaviors can make owning a dog difficult. We can help you address these issues.
Advanced Training
Once the foundation is set, we can teach your dog advanced behaviors and commands, such as:
– Place Training: Teach your dog to go to a designated item and stay there for 45 minutes and more.
– Off Leash Training: Teach your dog to obey commands while off leash.
– On/Off Switch: Teach your dog to relax or be ready to go.
– Hand Signals: Teach your dog to read your body language.
Child Safety
We provide training programs for baby proofing to ensure a smooth transition for you, your child, and your dog.
Separation Anxiety
We prevent separation anxiety or curing dogs who already have anxiety when you leave.
Service Dog Training
Our online service dog training program can save you thousands of dollars and provide you with a truly remarkable and helpful dog.
What to Expect from Our Service Dog Program:
– Proper Socializing, Handling, Do’s and Don’ts
– Introduction to Future Assistance Jobs
– Mastering Assistance Jobs (fully trained service dog)
– Psychological/Behavior Interruption
– PTSD Support
– Advanced Public Access
We offer top-end training and ensure your dog will listen to the highest level in all environments, no matter what is going on. They are still your fun-loving pet but learn to flip the switch with your quietest command.
Our Approach
All of our programs show multiple ways to teach the dog, which include:
– Not using the e-collar (all of our programs can be done completely without an e-collar)
– Using an e-collar correctly as a second option (for people who want to learn the right way to use this tool)
The Limitations of Other Training Methods
Many trainers only use e-collars and lack independent training from a recognized school. This results in trainers who only know one method and use it incorrectly, creating dogs that work out of fear and rely on the e-collar for their entire life.
The Importance of Balance in Training
On the other hand, you have trainers doing only click and treat and are 100% “positive”. This also doesn’t work, not at the highest level. You want 95% positive and 5% negative. That is how you achieve 100% reliable which keeps them safe in all circumstances. 9 out of 10 times they want to listen and the 10th time they listen because they have to. If I had a plane that was reliable 999/1000 times it still wouldn’t be enough to actually relax and trust it.
Our Goal: True Peace of Mind
In my opinion, we don’t offer dog training but rather we offer true peace of mind knowing you can trust your dog 100%.
The Role of Training Collars
From a training standpoint, we need your dog to stop what he/she is doing and pay attention in order for training and teaching to begin. We use a combination of positive reinforcement and training collars to get your dog’s attention. The negative part doesn’t mean being angry or raising your voice; it’s simply a way to let your dog know they misspelled a word. Punishment is completely different and unnecessary in our view.
Temporary Training Tools
Leashes and collars should be temporary training tools just like how we use tools to build our dream house and then put them away. When used properly, leashes and collars communicate with your dog’s brain (not simply control their body) to help achieve the desired behaviors. A trained dog will just listen to your voice.
Our Partnership with You
We work with people who share our goals of having the dog be an integral part of the family, whom we trust 100% in all situations. We provide proper training of the dog and, more importantly, proper instruction to the owners.
Our programs are designed to be flexible and accommodate your busy schedule. These programs are done at your own pace, so you can take as much time as you need on each part.
Recommended Practice Schedule
If you want to progress quickly, we recommend practicing 20-30 minutes in the morning and again in the afternoon/evening. This time commitment is likely already built into your daily routine, as you likely spend at least this amount of time with your dog each day.
By incorporating our training program into your existing daily routine, you can make the most of the time you spend with your dog and see progress quickly.
No, in fact, families we work with are often surprised that the dog can even hear us because of how normally we speak to the dog. Dominating or intimidating your dog is counterproductive and not part of proper training.
YES, you are allowed to train your own service dog. Our program enables you to train your own service dog, and upon completion, they will be a fully certified service dog.
YES, our programs give you all the same rights as if you did training in person with a trainer. To fly, you will list yourself as their trainer who followed our program.
