Hey, I'm Josie, 

I want to give you a harmonious life with your dog. Most dog owners want to give their pet the best possible life. (good ones anyways). But there's so much conflicting advice online and very little time to sort through it. So, you just hope that your puppy will grow out of biting, or magically stop pulling you on leash. You tell yourself they have been outside 4 times today, that should fulfill them, you've been at work and don't have the energy to play with them. Maybe by age 3 they will calm down and stop jumping on everyone, hopefully your dog will listen to you and not run cross the road chasing a squirrel....

Unfortunately this kind of thinking sets our dog up for confusion, stress and tragic accidents. That's why I've been creating an everyday dog owner's solution that doesn't take 8 hours a day, loads of new treats each week, or for you to become a scientist. You will learn better ways to manage your dog, play, and speak to them in a way they truly understand through our immersive board and train programs or our day school.

My dogs have been able to travel the country competing in obedience trials, doing therapy work, and they enjoy our hikes off-leash, running as free as they want without worrying about them ignoring a recall over a bunny. We can walk into stores, schools, hospitals and not worry about barking, lunging or pulling on the leash. We don't experience counter surfing, marking or dog fights in the house, our couches stay intact and non-chewed. I don't spend hours each day training and exercising my own dogs just to have a calm home.

Whether you are looking for a more harmonious life with your dog, just starting out with a puppy, or looking for a trusted daycare and boarding option where your dog can feel at home, we are here to support you. Fill out a contact form below and set up a free consult.
