Giver your dog a schooling experience like no other
We are a team of balanced dog trainers dedicated to bringing out the best in every dog. Our approach combines positive and corrective reinforcement to guide dogs toward desired behaviours while discouraging unwanted actions. While “negative reinforcement” can sometimes carry a stigma, we believe that gentle, clear corrections are essential for effective communication. By rewarding behaviours such as eye contact, impulse control, calmness, and patience and addressing actions like jumping, reactivity, or counter-surfing, we ensure that your dog understands expectations in a fair and compassionate manner.
We also recognize the unique instincts and needs of every breed, emphasizing the importance of both mental and physical exercise to promote balanced behaviour. By tailoring our methods to the specific requirements of each dog, especially high-drive or working breeds, we create an environment where they can thrive as part of a family. Our mission is to set every dog and their owner up for success by providing the knowledge, tools, and care needed for a harmonious relationship.

Hope Verra
Founder & Head Trainer
Since I was an infant learning to walk and talk, I've been obsessed with animals.​ My first words were literally "Puppy," and nothing has changed. Growing up around animals made it clear that my purpose is to provide clarity and understanding of our furry friends. Finding a special way to connect and communicate with animals gave me an advantage when working with dogs. I prioritize not only training the dog but also the family members; this is how the results become long-lasting.
​
Over the years, I gained experience working in all kinds of animal facilities and have found a passion for helping others find peace and harmony with their loving pets. With my knowledge and pure obsession, I have assembled my own natural method of working with dogs to get over small things like house manners all the way to more significant problems like reactivity and aggression. I make training fun and enjoyable for everyone. Let me help you garner a closer connection with your dog.

With a lifelong connection to animals, I bring a deep understanding and appreciation for the unique bond between humans and their furry friends. Growing up surrounded by dogs and horses from a young age, I developed a strong foundation in animal communication, which has shaped my approach as a dog trainer. My training philosophy focuses on fostering mutual trust and respect, not only helping dogs thrive but empowering families to create a harmonious home. Through compassionate guidance and effective techniques, I aim to support both pets and their owners on a journey to lasting understanding and connection. Let me help you build a deeper and more fulfilling relationship with your dog.

Founder & CFO
My passion for animal welfare began early, leading me to a career as a zookeeper, where I had the incredible opportunity to work with creatures ranging from the smallest, most delicate species to some of the world’s most formidable predators. This hands-on experience cultivated a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of wildlife, shaping my commitment to advocating for animals everywhere. Running multiple charities and organizations dedicated to their well-being has always been a vital part of my journey. Today, that mission extends to ensuring dogs live balanced and fulfilling lives through thoughtful training and care, so they—and their families—can thrive together.
