Training built on trust,
Training built on trust,
not terror.
Science-based, positive-reinforcement training from a Victoria Stilwell Academy graduate. We reward the right stuff, manage the wrong stuff, and end up with a dog who actually wants to work with you.
good dog!
What we work on
From "sit" to city streets.
- 🤘 Basic manners: sit, stay, down, recall, polite greetings
- 🤘 Leash skills: pulling, lunging, loose-leash walking that holds up outside
- 🤘 Confidence building, especially for rescues and nervous dogs
- 🤘 Mild behavioral issues: jumping, door-dashing, counter-surfing, that kind of thing
Real talk: we don't take on human-aggressive dogs, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. If that's your situation we'll point you to force-free specialists we trust. No charge, no judgment.
