WHAT WE OFFER

To say we’re obsessed with research is an understatement. As lifetime learners we value best-practices over ego and are on a mission to continually improve our knowledge, skills, and services. We love details and thrive on challenges. You could say ‘service’ is our specialty, giving you a boutique experience at accessible prices. Your long-term success is everything to us!

We’re deeply committed to the highest standards of animal welfare and take that responsibility to heart. Dogs are our family, and we’ll go above and beyond to ensure their optimal health, growth, and potential. It’s all about making life (yours and theirs) better. Our minimally-aversive, empathetic methods grow confidence, build trust, and channel the natural motivations + abilities of dogs in inspiring ways.
