Our Mission

Our Services

Our private dog training lessons offer personalized, one-on-one sessions designed to address your dog’s unique needs. Whether you’re working on basic commands or tackling behavioral issues, we provide focused, effective training in home or at local parks.

Our Board and Train program offers an immersive training experience where your dog stays with us for a set period, receiving intensive, customized training. This hands-on approach helps address behavior issues and reinforces obedience, ensuring lasting results. Perfect for busy pet owners or dogs needing extra attention.

Our Psychiatric Service Dog program is designed to train dogs to assist individuals with mental health conditions, providing support and comfort in daily life. Through specialized training, we help dogs learn tasks that can alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other psychiatric conditions, empowering individuals to live more independently and confidently.

Looking for something specific but can’t seem to find it. Please contact us to talk more about your specific needs. We also offer boarding for dogs who have been through any of our programs - private or board and train. Boarding space is extremely limited so make sure to book in advance.

Our Clients

We enrolled our reactive dog in the board and train program, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. Before the training, our dog, Daisy, would become anxious and aggressive around other dogs, stranger, and any one working on our home. Dawn took the time to understand her specific triggers and tailored a program to address her needs. Throughout the time, we received regular updates and videos showing the progress, and it was clear that our dog was gaining confidence and learning new coping skills. By the end of the program, she was more relaxed on neighborhood walks, able to focus during training, and much calmer around unfamiliar people. We are beyond grateful for the transformation. The board and train program has truly changed our lives and our dog’s wellbeing. Even now use Dawn to board Daisy when we are out of town since they have created such a strong bond and we know that shell be well taken care of. - Tom and Cailtin

We decided to enroll our dog Bonnie in private lessons to work on off-leash training and recall. Our experience was incredible. Our dog always struggled with coming back when off-leash, which made outdoor adventures stressful for us. Dawn tailored each session to our dog’s presonality and learning pace, making sure we felt confident and equipped every step of the way. The progress we’ve seen has been remarkable. After just a few session, Bonnie has s recall and we enjoy off-leash outings without worrying about her running after some critter. Dawn focused on technical aspects but also taught us how to reinforce the training consistently at home. - Simone and Dror
