Structured Training Walks Are More Than Just a Stroll Around The Block!

A Structured walk is an opportunity to build focus, trust, and respect between you and your dog. Structured training walks help eliminate leash pulling, overexcitement, and distraction while reinforcing calmness and engagement.

Think of it as a mental workout as much as a physical one. Instead of your dog walking you, structured walks create an environment where your dog learns to follow, tune in, and respond to your cues.

The result? A well-balanced dog that enjoys walks without the chaos. Learn more at the link below!

Childhood pic for ATTENTION ☺️

We are in need of some help!!!

Specifically we are looking for photos of dogs doing these behaviors.

-Pulling on a leash
-Staring at other animals while on a walk
-Chewing or Destroying furniture or unwanted items
-Barking out the house window
-Jumping on guests

These photos will be used for marketing material and will be greatly helpful because the online stock photos just are not fitting.

A huge thank you in advance! Also, you are more than welcome to DM the photos or email them to [email protected]

Thats me, Tyler with a litter of English Springer Spaniel puppies. One of two litters that my childhood dogs Maverick and Lacey had together ☺️*

Meet Millie!

She’s a 3 month old Bernedoodle that’s going to be staying with us for the next 4 weeks. While here she’s going to be learning various words both verbal and non-verbal such as “sit”, “lay”, “up”, “down”, “come”, “touch”, “place” & “box”.

In addition to learning communication we will also address specific behavioral concerns and not only teach Millie right from wrong but also teach the owners how to properly manage her when these specific behaviors arise.
