My sister's dog Mera. She comes to stay when my sister visits so she gets endless playtime and friends. We miss her when she goes💜

Good dogs are worth their weight in gold!

At four months old,
Zeus has beautiful prey drive and possession. A bit more serious of a puppy and it's beautiful. You can see his little brain think about things most puppies wouldn't notice. I think his family will be pleased with him!! This is a journey that will take up to two years. Building a protection dog is not something that happens quickly... nor should it be

This is a visual example of why we take extra time to help each dog develop their advanced skills. More happens during week 4 and 5 than the previous 3 weeks. However, building a foundation takes time. That’s what’s happening during in the first 3 weeks; a slow and steady process to help each dog develop the skill sets necessary to build upon.

The 4th and 5th weeks have been primed by the previous 3. The 4th and 5th weeks allow the dog the freedom to learn without being rushed. For us, we appreciate the opportunity to allow more care and nuance where needed.

Working together alongside each family allows everyone involved the opportunity to learn the needs and nuances of the “how to” and “why”. We sincerely appreciate each family and each pup.

We wish every past, present and future family a very Merry Christmas.

Client pup Maze and my pup Odie are thick as thieves. Her smile says it all. They are crazy!

It would be really cool if dogs could understand exactly how human emotions work, but they are exactly that. Human. Let's honor our canine friends with the communication they understand.

Putting our feelings on our animals can be detrimental.

Due to the holidays, please allow for a longer time for a callback. Family is coming into town and of course pups are here for boarding. We will schedule evaluations for after January 1st🫶🏼

In the world of dog training, there’s a saying we live by: “Built, not bought.” It’s a reminder that no matter how perfect a dog may seem on paper—good pedigree, great potential—it’s the effort you put into their development that truly shapes their greatness.

You can buy a good dog, but greatness is something you build. It comes from countless hours of training, understanding, and bonding. It’s in the way you teach them to navigate the world, overcome challenges, and trust you as their leader. A well-trained dog isn’t simply born that way; they’re the result of dedication, consistency, and patience.

When we train, we’re not just teaching commands. We’re shaping confidence, trust, and a willingness to work with us. It’s about meeting each dog where they are—whether they’re a nervous rescue or a high-drive working dog—and helping them become their best self.

This process requires effort and commitment, but the reward is unmatched. There’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing a dog you’ve built through hard work perform at their best, knowing it was your bond and dedication that got them there.

made our vision come true

It feels like more recently the name "Enzo" pops up into conversation...
Remembering what a great dog he was and had the potential to be. The love he had for work even when cancer took over his very young body. We allowed him to be so naughty in his final days and he really loved that🤣 we miss you pal. Every time we have training days with our dogs there is still a very real hole.

Hampton works incredibly hard and has a long list of experience in building a true "protection dog." He has videos and work to prove his craft. It is not a process that happens quickly, it is not easy, it tests both the dog and the handler. When choosing who to build your dog, do heavy research and don't take it lightly. It is easy to get online and talk, I want to see the work.

There will be no group class today. A lot of people have obligations with holidays here! Bare with us until after the first of the year 😊
