Safari Dog Training

The concept of Safari Dog Training came to life when Certified Dog Trainer, Ashton, dreamed of an enrichment-focused, force-free, fear-free environment for our furry friends. Early in his career, he worked alongside many other trainers and had observed various styles of training. His happy, confident puppy, Blue, had an adverse outcome after being subject to training associated with corrective-act

ion methods. After Blue began to show aggression with dogs and people, Ashton knew he had to take action. With extensive research on positive-reinforcement training, Ashton focused his efforts using tasty treats and clickers to instill confidence in his dogs and his growing client base. He has realized much success with his efforts and has many heartwarming stories we will share. Our mission is to educate our animal loving community on the science-based methods of positive reinforcement by advocating for your pets. We use Force Free, Fear Free to alleviate anxiety and stress in your pets for boarding, grooming, and training. Our staff is trained, certified, and actively continue their education to create the best environment and care for your pet! Members of our daily team are certified in First Aid & CPR, dog body language, and safe group play. Our passion is to dedicate our lives to saving animals from kill shelters, giving rescue animals the enrichment and love they deserve. We have partnered with Blessed Paws Animal Rescue & A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue, by giving foster dogs their second chance and the training they need to be successful as they find their fur-ever homes! The core team at Safari wants to give our clients, whom we consider family, peace of mind that we love their animals as our own. We take time introducing new members of the Safari to ensure your dog is happy and comfortable with their new friends. Our Safari Guides take the time to individually know each dog and we imply positive reinforcement training, with adding that extra enrichment to your pup's everyday life here at our Safari Adventure!
