Why not learn from two professional detection dog trainers and handlers with decades of experience who have made a living by training and then handling detection dogs in real world? Think your dog may not be up for the fun? All of our professional detection dogs have come from shelters or rescues so ANY dog can be trained.

While we specialize in detection, we love to see happy dogs / owners

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, COVID-19 PROTOCOLS AND PHYSICAL DISTANCING ARE STRICTLY ENFORCED

Services

All of our training services are scientifically based  while using only positive reinforcement. Each dog is an individual and will be trained with the method and tools to match each individual dog and their needs. Simultaneously we work with the owner to understand the basic principles required to read the dog, maintain, and even improve the dogs ability. The best part is a 100% money back guarantee if you are unhappy with the results for ANY reason.

Detection Dog
 Training

Whether for professional service, sport, hunting, conservationor just a hobby, your dog can learn to be a detection dog. Not only will they learn to do it well but they will have a blast doing it! And the icing on the cake is that your dog will be validated using scientific trials.

 

Puppy / Adolescent
Dog Training

The first 26 weeks of a dogs life will determine the basis of how that dog acts. When puppy / adolescent training is performed correctly, the myriad of bad habits can be easily avoided. This is why it is SO critical to allow a knowledgeable trainer to walk you and your puppy through all the right paces. Your life and the life of your dog will be much happier as a result.

Problem Behavior
Modification

Most dogs learn bad behavior from humans either directly (improper training) or indirectly (reacting to human action. While there may be many different ways to correct this behavior, it is imperative to replace bad behavior with good behavior.

 

Board and Train
Programs

Board and train programs produce excellent results. This is due to the fact the we can work on training in very short sequences multiple times a day while monitoring the dog for other changes in behavior that accompany training. Additionally, it allows the training to progress much more quickly due to the access we have to the dog. This becomes a Win, Win, Win!

Medical / Mobility
Assistance Dogs

When a dog serves in this capacity, reliability is a must. For each dog / handler we train, we are there to support you for the life of the dog. Additionally, we can evaluate any pet dog currently owned to determine the likelihood of success.

 

Obedience
Programs

Even though "Basic Obedience" is thrown around by many trainers that have a set of minimum actions they want to train the dog to perform.  Our obedience programs are different in that we ask YOU what you want the dog to learn and then we structure the curriculum to accomplish those tasks. That way, the dog learns exactly what you want them to learn. 

Specialized Service
Dog Training

Dogs are used in many different capacities today. Whether you need a courthouse dog, facility dog, reading dog, therapy dog, carting dog, agility dog, or any other form of specialized training, we will make certain they perform at peak level.

 

Detection Dog
Reliability Improvement

Many handlers of detection dogs have very little understanding of the true reliability of their detection dog because they were never taught exactly how to do this. Our program is designed to scientifically evaluate dog / team and implement a program to improve operational performance for working dogs, hunting dogs, sport dogs or any team that already has a detection dog.

Just a thought before You Call...

Many trainers tout their expertise with endless bravado, extolling their capabilities. In reality, if it is not a specific breed, or size, or whatever, they still want the business but will have one of their underlings train the dog so they do not have to deal with "that"  dog. When finished, the dog may perform with military precision and the head trainer will take all the credit. That is until the trainer fails to teach you how to maintain the training provided to the dog and soon the military precision is gone. Fortunately, with us, that never happens because we offer a full unconditional lifetime (of the dog) guarantee. All you have to do is call...we will help.

Our thoughts are really very simple. We love dogs of all types, sizes, shapes, breeds, colors and even dogs with less than 4 legs or any other challenge they may be presented with. We love dogs. And first and foremost, we love to see a well trained dog (not a robot) that is allowed to be a dog first. Dogs (just like humans) learn in many different ways. Our training methods center around umwelt which means we look at the world through the eyes of YOUR dog and then use training techniques best suited for YOUR DOG. If that is what you are looking for, give us a call. We would love to help you and your dog have a wonderful life together by being the best each of you can be.
