Our Philosophy

BEYOND THE DOG...We view your pet as more than just “the dog.” Rather, we see them as a life companion. We hope for this to be a special journey that you will take through life together.

BEYOND THE DOG…We look beyond your dog and focus on their behavior. We avoid constructs like “bad” or “stubborn.” Instead, we examine the factors that control their behavior. By understanding these factors, we can effectively and compassionately alter their behavior.

BEYOND THE DOG…Not only do we teach your dog, we teach you. By doing this, we can ensure that you have the tools to maintain your dog’s behavior over time. Our goal is long term maintenance of behavior change that you control with or without our support/presence.
