You love your dog—but sometimes, they’re downright embarrassing.

OFF LEASH TRAINING

Want the perfect hiking companion who comes when you call?

We’ll teach your dog the skills to trek like a pro.

Hi, I’m Trisha!

My rescue kelpies Cali and Duke were both leash-reactive as youngsters, and their off-leash attention was nonexistent when animals were around. We tried everything, including trainers who assured us that e-collars were the only solution. But aversive tools only scared them and made their behavior worse. 

 

I knew there had to be a better way—so I found one. I was so relieved by the change I saw in my dogs that I’ve been dedicated to teaching others what I know ever since. My approach is rooted in a passion for the great outdoors, a love of learning, and a commitment to positive, force-free training. 

 

Together, we’ll work through trouble spots to deepen your bond and create a joy-filled future for you and your dog.
