Who do we work with?
-
Baby gators are our favorite, aka pups under 6 months of age. Join us at Puppy Socials, Classes/Lessons, Boarding School, and Farm Dog days for fulfillment and mentor dogs to help your lil’ noodle learn the ways of an integrated, socially cool dog. Then, the Sport & Social club for ongoing learning with other cool folks.
-
We know you know…heart of gold, head of stone. Join us in Classes/Lessons, Boarding School, and Farm Dog days for an off-leash fulfillment and structured days of learning. Sport & Social for continued learning in a community of coolies.
-
These babes usually need social support, and help expanding their range and a sidekick that can advocate for them. Typically, an immersive program will be most helpful: Lifestyle Lessons, Boarding School, Retreats, and Clinics. Sport & Social, when you are both ready to expand together.
-
These pups are usually barking and lunging on leash, hating skaters, and are neutral to friendly, but dog-challenged. This is usually a dog with a lot of engine and nowhere to run it out on the highway.
An immersive program will be most helpful: Lifestyle Lessons or Boarding School to start. Then Retreats & Clinics for immersive practice, and solid hunks of time to work your dog. -
We honor dog training as a craft and art through mentorships, residencies, and clinics designed to elevate the work and sharpen the field for professional or aspiring dog trainers, dog professionals, or dog folks who want to go deeper.
