Breakthrough! Somebody conquered his huge fear of tunnels last night! Graduation day of our Junior High class.

The first Fetch Test in Alaska is in the books!!! 14 of 17 dogs passed, the others were all close! It went very smooth, thanks to my awesome volunteers! Let’s do this again next Saturday, 7/27/24! You can sign up under Events on www.bettercompanion.com

Tick-tick-tick … Treibball is starting this Monday! Go to www.bettercompanion.com or call 907-357-2521 to secure your spot!

I’m having sooo much fun being back in Alaska! Teaching behavior classes, Treibball and Agility, supervising Rally Practice and Open Play Times. Here some pictures from Agility! We’ll have more sessions in February for sure! I will add more videos and pics in the comments!

Open Play Times are now outside as much as possible! We can always go back inside if weather or bugs are too overwhelming 😁 Remember to call 907-357-2521 to reserve your spot (recurring clients) or to request a call-back for an eligibility interview (new dog/clients)!

Its towards the end of a fun day at doggy daycare and these pups are exhausted!!

The Journey of Dog Training

To transform our dog into a Better Companion, we first need to transform ourselves! As we change our habits in how we interact with them, we become Better Companions to them and subsequently they become Better Companions for us! Let us help you become and create a Better Companion!

Obedience/behavior classes from puppy groups & basic adult dog "Foundation" classes through "Junior High" and even our version of "College" classes!
