About us

We pay great attention to the mind. We execute our training using modern methods and positive reinforcement to shape new behaviours.

Who We Are

Our Mission

We are firm believers that improving the communication between you and your dog is the key to achieving your training goals.

We understand that a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach is outdated and ineffective, so we apply techniques most appropriate for your dog and lifestyle.

Additionally, we are adamant about creating a positive environment for your dog, favoring reward over compulsion. We have a non-conflict policy, where you can trust us to help build a happy and collaborative relationship between you and your Canine companion.

We always teach using the same formula:

what drives us

Our Trainers

"The best way to judge a trainer is by their own dogs."

We are forever students of the craft and stay up to date on new discoveries made in dog psychology, learning and training. We are passionate about dog sports so you can trust that we are not only professionals, but enthusiasts.

Methodology

Our Method

The only way to have an obedient dog is by training obedience. The ultimate goal is for the dog to replicate and generalize new behaviours in every environment, so as to create consistent behaviours that has been taught for the dog.

Creating Value

Drive and motivation form the backbone of our obedience training system; which is almost always food, toys, or play. Our dogs have to be infatuated with what we have to say, and they have to want, with enormous desire, to perform any behavior we ask. Once your dog makes a connection between certain commands and the “reward event” that comes with it, the more control we ultimately have in high stimulating environments.

Creating Consistency

These concepts form the basis of our methodology

Look at me and stay looking at me;
Be in ready-to-work mode;
Be chill;
Yes and no and what those really mean;
Go over there;
Come closer (e.g. in heel);
Your reward is over here;
Your reward is over there.

We pay great attention to the mind: We execute our training using science-based, data-driven, research-backed methods, to shape new behaviors through changing the dog’s reasoning, instead of forcing them to perform certain commands. We further fool-proof them through exposure to new environments and stimuli, resulting in a dog that’s able to tune out the world, and tune in to you, when you want it.
